Sarah Staudinger, co-founder of STAUD, is now married to Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor. The couple exchanged vows in a low-key, celebrity-filled ceremony in St. Tropez, and among the likes of Elon Musk, Diddy, and Larry David, you probably wouldn’t recognize Sarah’s parents.
But don’t worry. This article has everything you need to know about them.
Who are Sarah Staudinger’s parents?
Sarah Staudinger loves her parents, Joanna and Walter Staudinger Sr., dearly. They are her biggest inspiration and number one supporters. In fact, Sarah inherited her work ethic from them and credits them for everything she is today. And she is the wife of a millionaire, entrepreneur, and famous fashion designer in LA.
The talented woman began her fashion design career right after graduating from the New School. After three years as fashion director at Reformation, she teamed up with business partner George Augusto in 2015 to launch STAUD.
Her brand quickly became popular in the states, and even more so after Sarah spent thousands of dollars to give users the option to choose sleeve and body length.
In 2018, Sarah met Ari Emanuel and after 4 years of dating, the two got married in May 2022.
Sarah is also currently stepmother to Emanuel’s three sons from his previous marriage to Sarah Hardwick Addington.
Did you know: Sarah and Ari took a break from around November 2020 until “a few months” before Endeavor’s IPO.
