Though Neri's dating rumors with Pitt was halted at friendship with little to no chance of Brad becoming her next husband, her name got involved in dating rumors again with another man named Bill Ackman.
Dating and Marrying Billionaire Husband
As reported by multiple sources, Neri, 46, was allegedly dating a billionaire husband, Bill Ackman, for seven months.
Back in July 2018, Neri was spotted in Paris, attending a charity tennis match played by Bill. After the end of the game, Neri accompanied her rumored boyfriend, now husband, to a party held at L'arc, where the two looked comfortable in each other's company.
Despite the claims, Neri and her husband Bill, who is the founder and chief executive of a finance company named Pershing Square Capital Management, have not given any official statement regarding their dating gossips. Though sources are claiming the pair's love, fans may have to wait-and-watch until the couple addresses the rumors themselves.
Well, if the rumored couple decides to tie the knot, it won't be their first as both Neri and her husband Bill were already married in the past. Bill was the husband of Karen Ann Herskovitz, but the two divorced in 2017 after 25 years of remaining married.
Whereas Neri, a Haifa, Israel native, was also formerly married to Grammy-winner composer Osvaldo Golijov.

Married Again, Husband and Child
With the start of 2019, Neri gave marriage another shot by tieing the knot with her boyfriend, William Albert Ackman. They married at a private wedding ceremony among their loved ones, with the ceremony initiated by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl.
The two first met in September 2017 after being introduced by Marty Peretz, a former professor at Harvard University. He is the close acquaintance of Neri and a mentor plus father figure to her husband, whose net worth is a whopping $1.6 billion. Of course, since he is the CEO of the reputed firm, his monetary value doesn't come as a surprise.
Their first date took place at a restaurant in Cambridge, Mass, and interestingly, her partner William took an extreme liking towards her in a short period of time. He shared about the experience quoting,
“She was everything they had described her to be. I knew in about five seconds that she was perfect for me.”

With much-anticipated wait, the couple now share a child together.
