Jeffrey Epstein was obsessed with his ex-girlfriend’s daughter — and wanted to make her his teenage bride, new Department of Justice files revealed.
Celina Dubin became a Harvard University-trained NYC doctor with a little help from “Uncle” Jeffrey, who entered her life when she was a child, and became increasingly close as she grew up.
Dubin, now 30, is the daughter of Epstein’s former flame and longtime pal Eva Dubin — Miss Sweden and 4th runner up Miss Universe in 1980 — who is now married to billionaire investor Glenn Dubin.
Epstein told friends in 2014 that Celina, who was 19-years-old at the time, was the only person he wanted to marry, according to a Business Insider report.
The newly released DOJ documents show the extent of Epstein’s fixation with Celina — who he described as a “goddaughter.”
Two years after Epstein was convicted of soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution, Eva invited him to stop by her Upper West Side pad while Celina hosted five of her friends.
“Come and visit next week. Celina will have 5 friends over,” Eva wrote to Jeffrey on Aug. 14, 2010.
Eva — who dated Epstein for roughly 11 years from the early 1980s to early 1990s — also invited him to Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn in 2012 to watch Celina, then a senior, play lacrosse for Trinity High School.
“It was great fun, my first game,” Epstein wrote to Celina, according to the new docs.
“I wish you could have come to a game where I played offense but I’m glad you enjoyed it!!!!” Celina wrote back in an online chat.
Celina was apparently so close with Epstein she exchanged hundreds of messages with him and referred to him as “Uncle F.”
“Hey unc! You’re in the city now right? What are you up to today,” the then-15-year-old girl messaged Epstein in 2010, one year after his release from prison.
Epstein was so fond of the name “Uncle F,” that he used it to donate to the Dubin Breast Cancer Center at Mount Sinai, emails revealed.
When Epstein was in Paris in 2011, he agreed to buy “sexy” clothes for Celina.
“Anything!! You know what I like, I also need some cool but also flattering and somewhat sexy (ish) shirts that I can wear when I go out at night,” she wrote.
“100%,” Epstein replied.

Epstein leveraged his connections when Celina wanted to become a professional model and then later, when she needed to get into medical school.
“Do u think I should do another photoshoot soon? Should I get in touch with Jean Luc or Faith Kates,” Celina wrote “Uncle F” in 2011.
“Whatever you want. Jean Luc better,” Epstein replied.
In 2012, Epstein reached out to Jean-Luc Brunel, the famous modeling agent, photographer, and Epstein associate to organize a fashion shoot for Celina, who was then 17-years-old and had never modeled professionally before, emails revealed.
“Glad to seee [sic] you are doing well can we get celina a fashion shoot?” he wrote to Brunel in 2012.
Brunel committed suicide in 2022 in a French prison while awaiting trial for rape of a minor.
Though she never became a model, Celina would go on to be named one of the “15 Hottest Freshman” at Harvard University, where she enrolled in 2013 with more help from “Uncle F.”
“My goddaughter and most favorite person in the whole world is coming up to Harvard on sept 1-2,, [sic] please show her or help in any way you and she agree,” Epstein wrote to Professor of Mathematics and Biology Martin Nowak in 2011. Nowak is still a professor at the school.
Celina graduated Magna cum laude from Harvard in 2017 with a BA in Psychology, Global Health and Health Policy, received her medical degree from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2022, and is now a resident physician at Mount Sinai according to her LinkedIn.
Even when they were apart Epstein kept Celina close to his heart — keeping a box of snaps labelled “Celina Photos,” with his personal files and his own childhood pics, the docs reveal.
And he even had a “celina” Spotify playlist, including “Turn Me On,” by David Guetta and Nikki Minaj, “Club Can’t Handle Me,” by Flo Rida, and Maroon 5 “Moves Like Jagger” remix featuring Christina Aguilera.
Celina was named, alongside Epstein’s brother Mark , as beneficiary of his trust in 2014, newly released documents showed. She was later removed from that trust, though it’s unclear why.
At that time, Epstein was reportedly telling associates that he wanted to marry Celina, in part so she could inherit his vast fortune, including notorious Little Saint James Island — the so-called “Pedo Island,” sources told Business Insider.
The disgraced financier’s trust had $127 million in assets remaining as of September 2024, according to the most recent publicly available documents. That sum comes after the estate had already paid out more than $125 million to over 100 victims.
