Ellie, 31, is the media maven’s eldest daughter who she gave birth to on July 23, 1991. Her mini-me is also dedicated to a career in media just like her mom! Her Linkedin page states that she has interned at some pretty major outlets including HBO and Glamour Magazine. She graduated from the prestigious Yale University in 2013 earning a Bachelor’s degree in American/United States Studies/Civilization. In 2011, Ellie even worked as a crime strategies intern for the New York County District’s Attorney’s Office. These days she spends her time as a TV writer. Her most recent success was co-writing the Emmy-nominated show, The Boys.
The 31-year-old is married to Mark Dobrosky, who she had a 1980s themed wedding with on July 4, 2021. Mark and Ellie met when they were just two kids in college back at Yale, according to Town & Country. In 2021, she told the outlet that she and her man had been together for “over 11 years” and that their engagement was “perfect.” He got down on one knee during a weekend getaway in Ojai, California, and the rest is history.
