Phoebe Gates Recalls Hilarious Moment with Boyfriend’s Family Including Paul McCartney

Phoebe Gates is expanding her musical horizons.

During a Wednesday, April 30, appearance on Call Her Daddy, the daughter of Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates, recalled a hilarious moment out with her boyfriend, Arthur Donald‘s family — which includes his grandfather, Paul McCartney.

While chatting with host Alex Cooper and business partner Sophia Kianni to promote their shopping app called Phia, Cooper, 30, asked Phoebe, 22, if she was a “Beatles person.”

“Oh man, it’s so bad. Like, I’m so bad at music,” Phoebe admitted. “I mean, my family like, we’re so nerdy, so I knew nothing about music. I knew about tech stuff growing up, not music stuff.”

“So I remember like early on he was like so excited, like he thought he was going to rizz me, he took me to an Elton John concert,” Phoebe continued. “And Elton John comes out in like a bedazzled track suit. I’m like, ‘Is Elton John gay?’ His entire family starts dying laughing.”

Phoebe added that she had been with Donald, 26, for “almost two years” but every time she sees his family, they joke about the incident.

John, 78, known for his vibrant style, has been with his husband David Furnish for over three decades.

Phoebe also touched on Donald’s musical talent. “Unfortunately, Arthur does not have any musical talent. I’ve been trying to get him to serenade me for a very long time but it has not happened.”

Phoebe and Donald, who is the son of McCartney’s daughter Mary, have kept details about their relationship to themselves. Phoebe shared a picture of them together in Paris in October 2023.

While they attended the Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans premiere together in January 2024, months later in an April 2024 interview with Bustle, she didn’t comment on her relationship status.

She also featured a picture of him giving her a piggyback ride for NYLON’s Graduation Diary series in June 2024. In the caption, she called Donald, who is the eldest of McCartney’s grandchildren, her “boyfriend.”
