Tech wizard and a co-founder of Napster, Sean Parker, is now engaged. Celebrity magazine People said that Sean, whose role was played by Justin Timberlake on the big screen in the critically acclaimed flick “The Social Network” is engaged to New York-based singer/songwriter Alexandra Lenas. Gawker reported that Sean was dating Alexandra for the past six months.
Sean was previously linked to longtime girlfriend Kate Jurkiewicz before they split in summer 2010. Sean reportedly dated Kate for three and a half years. The news about Sean and Alexandra as a couple was first revealed in October 2010 when they stepped out together at Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween party dressed as Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.
Then he had what Gawker calls “a brief apparent dalliance with lifecaster turned syndicated columnist Julia Allison” before he started dating his current fiancée. Sean has a four percent stake in Facebook. He received the stake after the company formally incorporated in 2004. In 2005, he resigned from the job of president. Sean resigned from the post after he was arrested for suspected cocaine possession. Sean was forced to resign by the company and its largest investor, Jim Breyer of Accel partners. Parker was hired as managing partner of the Founders Fund in 2006 by Facebook investor Peter Thiel.
The 32-yer-old Parker is an Internet technology businessman, and entrepreneur and has co-founded Napster, Plaxo, and Causes. He started learning programming from his father when he was 7 years old and was sentenced to community service for hacking when he was just 16 years old.
