Corgan and Mendel have been romantically involved since 2012, according to People.
The 56-year-old singer proposed to Mendel in September 2022, on her 30th birthday. “The day finished with a wedding proposal,” Mendel wrote to her Instagram account at the time. “Of course I said yes.”
This is Corgan’s second marriage. He was previously married to art conservator Chris Fabian from 1993 to 1995.
Mendel co-founded and currently serves as creative director of Maison Atia, a fashion house esteemed for its luxury outerwear designs. Her father, Gilles Mendel, is CEO of the luxury fashion brand J. Mendel.
