Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is engaged and living in a luxury apartment with her hotel-heir fiancé, William 'Billy' Evans

Elizabeth holmes and Sunny Balwani

Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the infamous blood-testing startup Theranos, is reportedly engaged.
Her fiancé is William "Billy" Evans, a 27-year-old heir to a hospitality property management company in California, according to those reports.
Holmes and her ex-boyfriend, former Theranos president Sunny Balwani, are awaiting trial on federal charges of fraud, and she faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty.

While Elizabeth Holmes faces the possibility of spending the next two decades in jail, the founder of the failed blood-testing startup Theranos has reportedly found the time to get engaged.

Holmes is engaged and living in a luxury apartment with her fiancé in San Francisco, Vanity Fair reports. Reports say the man is William "Billy" Evans, a 27-year heir to a chain of hotels in California.

Not much is known about the couple's relationship, since they've largely kept things off of social media and out of the press. The couple has been keeping a low profile for good reason — Holmes faces federal fraud charges, stemming from allegations she covered up her company's faulty blood testing technology and defrauded investors.

Here's everything we know so far about Billy Evans, Elizabeth Holmes' fiancé:

William "Billy" Evans, 27, grew up near San Diego, California. He's one of three children born to his parents, Susan and William L. Evans.

The Evans family has lived in the San Diego area for generations. Billy Evans' grandparents, Anne and William D. Evans, founded a hotel management group in 1953 called Evans Hotels. The group manages three properties in the San Diego area.

After William D. Evans died in 1984, his widow, Anne, added two of her children to the Evans Hotels management team. The company has since been jointly managed by five members of the Evans family, with the 27-year-old Billy Evans as heir apparent to the company.

Monster List of Markets: 135 Places to Find Freelance Writing Jobs

Are you looking for freelance writing jobs? Here’s a hint. Content mills, bid sites, and job boards might seem like an easy place to go to find freelance writing jobs, but they’re usually a waste of time. Too much competition, flaky clients, low rates.

A peek inside Sequoia Capital’s low-flying, wide-reaching scout program

Ten years ago, Sequoia Capital began quietly encouraging founders of its portfolio companies to consider which of their founder friends they might like to get behind financially. Sequoia would let them write checks to those companies, and it would share with them any later rewards. It was a brilliant idea. It allowed Sequoia to keep tabs on entrepreneurs — and nascent technologies — not yet in its universe. It cemented the firm’s ties to the founders who were already in its family. Not last, it grew Sequoia’s already considerable influence in Silicon Valley. Fast forward, and the ripple effects of the highly successful program have not only been wide-reaching, but they’ve quietly reshaped the industry in ways that only those closest to Sequoia have been able to fully appreciate — until now. To learn more on the tenth anniversary of Sequoia’s “scouts” initiative — which has since been widely copied by other venture firms — we reached out to Sequoia’s Mike Vernal, the partner who to

As it readies a test for vaping additives, cannabis testing company Cannalysis raises $22 million

Cannalysis , a testing company for cannabis, has raised $22 million in a new round of financing as it prepares to bring a new test for vaping additives to the market. The test, which the company is preparing to unveil later this week, will test for the presence and amount of Vitamin E acetate, a chemical compound that may be linked to the aping related illness that has swept through the U.S. in the past month. Cannalysis chief executive Brian Lannon said the new product was developed in response to the current crisis in the cannabis industry over illnesses related to vaping cannabis products. “The big story that’s been going out over the last week isn’t the product that’s going out in cannabis, but an additive called Vitamin E acetate. We have developed a test for that,” Lannon says. “ As part of the different compliance testing that’s required, it’s not mandated to test for any of these additives… What I’m anticipating based on the phone calls we’ve been getting is that a lot of o
