Mulherin, an Australian software engineer, had been previously mentioned by Altman in a candid interview with New York Magazine last September. During the interview, Altman expressed the couple's desire to start a family in the near future.

In a noteworthy turn of events last year, Sam Altman faced a brief dismissal from his position as the CEO of the AI startup OpenAI. However, within five days, he was reinstated following an agreement reached between the board and the influential ChatGPT star.

Altman gained prominence through the launch of ChatGPT, a development that spurred a competitive surge in AI research and garnered substantial investments in the sector, amounting to billions.

Altman, who recently resumed his role as CEO following an unexpected termination on November 17, found himself amidst a transformed board of directors. This reshuffling occurred in the aftermath of a significant employee uprising, with Adam D’Angelo, the CEO of Quora, emerging as the sole individual to retain his board position.

In a conciliatory move, Altman extended an olive branch to Ilya Sutskever, a former AI scientist ousted from the organization and a key player in the campaign against Altman. Altman, via a blog post, conveyed admiration and appreciation for Sutskever, recognizing his invaluable contributions to the field. Despite Sutskever's removal from the board, Altman underscored his commitment to fostering collaboration, outlining plans to explore avenues for Sutskever to continue contributing to the ongoing initiatives at OpenAI.
