Bill Gates' daughter Phoebe has officially confirmed that she is dating Paul McCartney's grandson Arthur Donald.

The 21-year-old, whose Microsoft founder father is worth a staggering $134 billion, was spotted celebrating her Stanford graduation alongside her new beau - eight months after first becoming engulfed romance rumors.

DailyMail.com previously reported that sparks were flying between the pair - but Phoebe has now openly referred to Arthur, 25, as her 'boyfriend' while documenting her education milestone in an online blog for Nylon.

'My boyfriend, Arthur, giving me a lift post-ceremony,' she wrote alongside a loved-up snap of her beau giving her a piggyback.

In another snap from later in the day, Phoebe, who graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology, stood with her arms wrapped around her new love interest alongside a caption that read: 'He cleans up nicely.'

Phoebe and Arthur first made headlines back in October 2023 when she took to Instagram with a snapshot of the pair in Paris.

The duo also attended the premiere of Feud: Capote vs Swans later that month - but Phoebe later declined to comment on her relationship status when interviewed by Bustle just a few months later.

Arthur is the elder son of photographer Mary McCartney and her first husband TV producer Alistair Donald. 

The two families already enjoy close connections with one another as Arthur's aunt, the fashion designer Stella McCartney is good friends with Phoebe's mother, Melissa Gates. 

'Even when I was little, she would send me stuff and little notes and I'd be so excited,' Phoebe says of Stella. 'We are really deeply connected.'

Before dating the grandson of The Beatles singer - Phoebe was in a relationship with fellow Stanford student Robert Ross. 

Phoebe shared pictures of her cozying up with her then-boyfriend on Instagram and trolls were quick to leave racist comments about her interracial relationship with Robert Ross, who is black.

She responded to the backlash during an interview with The Information, and she said she was 'done' with people making fun of her relationship.

Bill (pictured with Phoebe as a child) and Melinda have continuously insisted that they are working hard to ensure that their kids 'create their own path' 

Despite the innocent nature of the photos of Phoebe and her then-boyfriend, Twitter was quick to react to the notion that Phoebe might be dating a black man, with many choosing to make crude jokes suggesting that her rumored beau was simply using her for her father's money. 

The beauty has previously opened up about the highs and lows that come with getting so much attention online. 

When she was asked about the worst part of being a social media sensation, the college student admitted: 'The misconceptions and conspiracy theories about my family and my relationship with my boyfriend.

'It's 2023. I'm done being memed for being in an interracial relationship.'

Phoebe's graduation comes after she already made waves in the world of fashion - receiving invites to coveted New York and Paris Fashion Week shows, elite parties, and star-studded events.

She has also racked up some celebrity friends along the way, becoming a viral social media star, and even landing an internship at British Vogue. 

And while some may argue that she has gotten to where she is thanks to her wealthy background, both Bill and Melinda have continuously insisted that they are working hard to ensure that their kids 'create their own path.'
