Jay Blount ’05

By the staff | 11:34am April 17 2009

Whatever else there is to say about Jay Blount ’05—he’s a consultant with the firm of Casey Quirk, he was a founding member of Yale’s chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, he was one of Rumpus’s 50 Most Beautiful People at Yale for 2002—the reason you might have read about him on Gawker or People.com this week is because of a rumor that he is engaged to marry Barbara Bush ’04, the daughter of former president George W. Bush ’68. The talk began with an item on the blog StyleList on April 14. Before the day was over, someone described as a “Bush family source” had told People that it wasn’t true. The two frequently have been described in the media as a couple, but almost always with the modifier “on-again, off-again.” We’ll keep you posted.
