Who is Eva Andersson-Dubin?

Eva Andersson-Dubin (often written as Eva Andersson Dubin or Eva Birgitta Andersson-Dubin) was born in Sweden in 1961. She first became known as a model and as Miss Sweden 1980. She later trained as a physician, studying medicine in Stockholm and in the United States, and completed specialist training in New York.

After qualifying as a doctor, she worked in New York hospitals and eventually focused on women’s health and breast-cancer care. Together with her husband, billionaire investor Glenn Dubin, she helped found the Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai Hospital, a major cancer treatment and research facility.

Because of her work, her marriage, and her social circle, Andersson-Dubin moved in wealthy New York philanthropic and financial networks—the same world in which Jeffrey Epstein operated.

How Eva Andersson-Dubin met Jeffrey Epstein

Biographical accounts say Andersson-Dubin met Jeffrey Epstein while she was working at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York in the early 1980s.

According to those reports:

• She and Epstein began a romantic relationship during that period.

• The relationship is generally described as lasting around eleven years, mostly in the 1980s.

• After they broke up, they remained friends and continued to move in overlapping social and philanthropic circles.

When she later married Glenn Dubin, a hedge-fund founder, Epstein is reported to have stayed close to the Dubin family, attending events and social gatherings with them.

Documented relationship: dating and continued friendship

Long-term romantic partner

Spanish-language and German-language biographical sources on Epstein list Eva Andersson-Dubin as one of his major long-term partners. They describe her as a girlfriend for roughly eleven years in the 1980s.

This makes her one of the most long-standing known partners in Epstein’s life before Ghislaine Maxwell became prominent in his social circle.

Ongoing friendship and family ties

Press and biographical reporting say that, even after the romantic relationship ended, Andersson-Dubin and her husband remained close to Epstein:

• He is reported to have been godfather to one of the Dubins’ children.

• Articles based on court filings and wills state that he named her among beneficiaries in his 2019 will, though the Dubin family is reported to have declined the bequest.

• Accounts of his social life describe her as part of a set of high-profile friends and donors who attended dinners, gatherings, and meetings in New York and elsewhere.

In her own sworn testimony at the Maxwell trial, Andersson-Dubin acknowledged that Epstein had been a boyfriend many years earlier and that she continued to see him as a friend. She told the court she trusted him around her children and denied knowledge of sexual abuse.

Where Eva Andersson-Dubin appears in the “Epstein files”

Researchers who study Jeffrey Epstein’s network often talk about the “Epstein files”—a loose term for flight logs, address books, phone directories, court exhibits, email dumps, and law-enforcement records.

For Andersson-Dubin, the public record currently shows several types of appearances:

1. Contact books and address lists

Her name, including variants such as “Eva Andersson,” “Eva Dubin,” and “Eva Birgitta Andersson-Dubin,” appears in digitized copies of Epstein contact lists and similar compilations. These entries typically contain phone numbers or addresses and simply document that she was in his address book at some point.

What this means:
Being listed in an address book is evidence of contact, not evidence of crime. It suggests that Epstein had a way to reach her socially or professionally, which is consistent with the long-term friendship described in news reports.

2. Flight-log compilations

Press coverage of the flight logs for Epstein’s private planes has reported names for both Glenn Dubin and Eva Dubin among passengers on some trips.

What this means:
A name in a flight log means that someone was scheduled or recorded as a passenger. It does not by itself say anything about what happened on the trip. In the case of Andersson-Dubin, these flights are usually described as social or family travel within a wealthy circle.

3. Email archives and document dumps

In the large email releases associated with congressional and court records, variants of Andersson-Dubin’s name appear in some messages—most often:

• In address lines (for example, a copy recipient on an email), or

• In reference to social planning, invitations, or contact details.

These email mentions are consistent with a social and philanthropic relationship. They do not add new evidence of business deals, legal disputes, or criminal behavior beyond what is already reported in mainstream media.

Allegations, rumors, and what is not established

Because Epstein’s circle included many high-profile figures, rumors often spread faster than verified facts. In Eva Andersson-Dubin’s case, it is important to keep clear lines between what is documented, what is alleged, and what is speculation.

Documented facts

From court testimony and mainstream news:

• She was a long-term girlfriend of Epstein in the 1980s.

• She later married Glenn Dubin and remained on friendly terms with Epstein.

• She appeared as a witness in the Ghislaine Maxwell criminal trial, where she defended her family’s decision to keep seeing Epstein after his first conviction and denied knowledge of abuse.

• Her name shows up in the flight logs, contact lists, and some email caches linked to Epstein.

Allegations and disputed claims

Some reporting and commentary have discussed allegations about Epstein’s closeness to the Dubin family, especially concerning how much he interacted with their children. Those accounts are typically based on statements in civil lawsuits or interviews with accusers, and the Dubin family has strongly denied any wrongdoing.

Where these claims involve Andersson-Dubin, they remain allegations, not proven facts. No court has found her liable for Epstein’s crimes, and no criminal charges have been filed against her.

What is not known

As of the public record today:

• There is no verified evidence that Andersson-Dubin participated in Epstein’s abuse.

• There is no documentation of joint business ventures, shell companies, or financial partnerships between her and Epstein beyond what can be inferred from his social and philanthropic ties to the Dubin family.

• Most available documents show a long-standing social relationship, not a formal business or legal partnership.
