Billionaire John Paulson, 68, is engaged to 35-year-old Alina de Almeida... while still embroiled in bitter divorce battle

Billionaire John Paulson is officially off the market, getting engaged to his girlfriend Alina de Almeida.

The 68-year-old - who made headlines in late March for hosting a Trump fundraiser - got engaged to his 35-year-old girlfriend. 

The engagement comes as Paulson is still embroiled in a divorce battle with his ex Jenny Zaharia, who he was married to from 2001 and 2021.

Paulson left Zaharia for the much-younger dietician in 2021, with a source telling Page Six they are quite happy together.

'John and Alina have been together for two and a half years. They are very happy together and have gotten engaged,' the source said.

While she was mentioned as the financier's fiancee in a recent Bloomberg interview, it's unclear if there is a ring yet.

'The word ‘fiancée’ has been said,' a source added, referring to them talking with friends, 'but I don’t think anyone has seen a ring.'

'He’s trying to be discreet so as not to get Jenny all riled up,' the source added, though it's unclear when a ring will surface.

Paulson - who is worth a whopping $4.7 billion - is still locked into a bitter battle with his ex Zaharia.

Lawyers for the scorned wife of hedge fund mogul John Paulson have hit back at his claims she is 'greedy' – and said his alleged siphoning of funds into secret trusts is the 'ultimate example of spousal abuse'.

Billionaire Paulson filed for divorce from his soon-to-be ex-wife Jenny, 52, in 2021, which led to her claiming he had moved at least $1billion into secret trusts, according to legal filings seen by DailyMail.com.

The 67-year-old's legal team said in documents she is acting out of 'greed,' and if the trusts are split as she demands, the assets would incur 'huge' sums of taxation – resulting in their two daughters Giselle, 18, and Danielle, 20, receiving a 'diluted' inheritance.

But Jenny's lawyers have hit back, telling DailyMail.com he should 'know about being greedy' after filing a new claim accusing her husband of a 'sham purchase' of a luxury penthouse in Puerto Rico to 'improperly enrich himself' by $10million at the expense of the trusts.

'Imagine the nerve of a guy who we allege spends years secretly stealing assets from his wife that are part of the marital estate before a divorce proceeding,' said Robert Cohen, attorney for Jenny, of Cohen Clair Lans Greifer & Simpson LLP. 

'Then he secretly takes funds out of the Trust he secretly set up for his personal purposes to buy a $20 million condo. But he purchased it for only $5 million and apparently hasn't closed on the sale yet.

'And then he accuses her publicly of being 'greedy.' It's fair to say: That's what's called 'chutzpah'.'

Legal documents filed on September 21 state Paulson bought the apartment at the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort in 2020 for an artificially low price of $5.6 million from a 2009 family trust, which owned the property.
