Who Is Billy Evans? Biography, Background, Family and Connection to Elizabeth Holmes

William “Billy” Evans is an American businessman from a San Diego hotel-owning family, and he is best known as the husband of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. He has kept a low public profile, so most of what is reported about him comes from coverage of Holmes’s fraud case. This article sticks to what reliable outlets have documented and leaves out gossip.

Note: “Billy Evans” is also the name of a well-known baseball umpire and Hall of Famer. This biography assumes you mean Elizabeth Holmes’s husband, following your previous request.

Who Is Billy Evans?

Evans is the heir to Evans Hotels, a family-owned hospitality group in the San Diego area that his grandparents, William D. and Anne Evans, founded in 1953. The company operates luxury b==== outique hotels, restaurants and spas, and Business Insider reported that it manages three properties in the San Diego area, including The Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla. One profile says he does not work for the hotel group, though other reports describe him as an heir apparent, so that point is unsettled.

How Old Is Billy Evans?

His exact birth date is not publicly documented in the sources I found. Business Insider described him as 27 in 2019, and the Independent described him as 30 in 2022, which suggests he is in his mid-30s today. Do not publish a specific age without a reliable source.

Where Is Billy Evans From?

He grew up near San Diego, California, in a family that has lived in the region for generations. Reports say his grandparents started the hotel business in the early 1950s, and after his grandfather died in 1984, his widow brought two of her children into management. The company has since been run jointly by several family members.

Education and Early Background

A low-quality aggregator says he attended the Francis Parker School in San Diego and earned an economics degree from MIT in 2015. The New York Post, as cited by Business Insider, quoted a former colleague mentioning his MIT ring, which is consistent with an MIT link, but I could not verify the school or degree details from a primary source. Please confirm them before publishing.

How Did Billy Evans Meet Elizabeth Holmes?

HollywoodLife reports that Evans met Holmes in 2017, during the period when Theranos was unraveling. They married in a private ceremony in 2019, according to multiple outlets. Holmes had been charged with fraud the year before.

Support During the Trial and Imprisonment

The Independent reported that Evans attended every day of Holmes’s nearly four-month trial in San Jose, California. He has remained a visible presence in her life since her conviction in 2022 and her move to a federal prison camp in Texas in 2023. Holmes’s sentencing memorandum included personal photographs of the couple.

Family

Evans and Holmes have two children. HollywoodLife reports that their son was born in July 2021, days before her trial began, and Holmes’s sentencing papers refer to the family. A second child was reported to have been born in 2023. This article does not include the children’s names, out of respect for their privacy.

Business Ventures

Some 2025 articles say Evans has been associated with a blood-testing startup called Haemanthus, and HollywoodLife says Holmes is reportedly advising on the project from prison. I found these claims only on secondary and low-quality sites, so they should be treated as unverified until confirmed by reliable reporting.

Net Worth

No reliable, documented figure exists. One aggregator lists an estimate of $10 million, but it comes from a site with obvious errors, so no figure is given here. Family company wealth is also not the same as his personal wealth.
