George Lucas and Mellody Hobson married in 2013 and welcomed their daughter Everest later that same year
The iconic filmmaker behind Star Wars and Indiana Jones turned 80 on May 14. While Lucas does not frequently work in the film industry anymore (he last received an executive producer credit on 2023's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and has not directed a movie since 2005's Revenge of the Sith), he is spending quality time with his wife of nearly 11 years, Mellody Hobson.
Hobson is the president and co-CEO of Chicago-based investment firm Ariel Investments, and she has also worked as Starbucks's chairperson of its board of directors since March 2021 and previously was the chairperson of DreamWorks Animation.
