Elizabeth Holmes celebrates Mother’s Day with her two young children and partner

Elizabeth Holmes is the picture of an adoring mother as she celebrated Mother’s Day with her two young children and partner.

DailyMail.com spotted the convicted fraudster several times this weekend playing with son William, 2, on the beach and walking through San Diego while rocking her newborn daughter Invicta.

She was showered with gifts for the holiday, as these exclusive photos show partner Billy Evans holding several Mother’s Day balloons, a bouquet of flowers and gift bags.

Holmes, 39, is enjoying her freedom as much as possible after managing to temporarily escape from prison when she was granted a last-minute reprieve just a day before she was due to begin her 11-year sentence.

On Sunday, Holmes wore a camel sweater, jeans and a sun hat as she held her newborn baby swaddled in a giraffe-patterned blanket.

Partner and father of her children Billy Evans walked ahead of them with their toddler along with her presents.

A day earlier, DailyMail.com spotted Evans, who was assisting Holmes at her trial, leaving a grocery story with the oversized Mother’s Day balloons and two bouquets of flowers.

And on Friday, Holmes walked along the beach with William and the family dog ​​in front of their $9 million oceanfront home in San Diego.

Homes was seen picking up seaweed with the toddler and playing with a bucket and shells.

Evans later joined them and the loving parents were seen smiling as their son played in the sand.

Holmes was scheduled to leave her beachfront home and surrender to federal authorities on April 27 to begin her sentence at a federal prison 1,800 miles away in Bryan, Texas.

The convicted fraudster, who had hoped her jail term would be delayed after several attempts to have her conviction overturned, finally won a legal victory last month when the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to postpone her jail reporting date.

Holmes’ attorneys filed a motion against the April 11 decision of District Court Judge Edward Davila to deny her release while she appeals her guilty verdict, citing “numerous, inexplicable errors” in the ruling.

The 11 a.m. move means the Theranos founder remains free on bail while the court hears her case.

In the meantime Holmes has given a series of interviews to the New York Times in an attempt to restore her image.

The interviews are important as it marks the first time she has spoken to the media since 2016, with this latest attempt to portray herself in a more relatable light while defending her actions and promoting her future as a health technology innovator.

In a lengthy profile piece published last week, Holmes revealed how she spent part of the past year volunteering at a rape crisis hotline, working 12-hour shifts.

Speaking of Theranos, Holmes acknowledged that she made numerous mistakes due to her lack of knowledge and understanding at the time.

“I made so many mistakes and there was so much that I didn’t know and understand, and I feel like when you get it wrong, it’s like you really internalize it in a deep way,” Holmes said as she walked through the San Diego walked into Zoo with her baby and a reporter from the New York Times.

She expressed a deep sense of personal responsibility for the failures and acknowledged the impact it had on her, but still seemed to believe that despite being exposed as a fraud, her company could have changed healthcare forever.

“We would have seen through our vision,” she insisted, revealing that she is working on new inventions. The Times describes Holmes’ view as “delusional idealism.”

“I still dream of being able to contribute in that space,” Holmes said. “I still feel the same calling as ever and I still think the need is there.”

Stanford dropout Holmes founded Theranos while still a teenager in 2003, claiming she could revolutionize blood testing.

Holmes’ fall from grace came after journalist John Carreyrou exposed the claims made by her health-tech startup, Theranos, as false.

At the time, Theranos was valued at $9 billion after touting a blood testing technology that required only small amounts of blood and blood. able to detect dozens of health problems with a single drop.

But by 2015, Theranos’ system was alleged to be producing false reports revealing that the company had used commercially available machines from other companies for most of its testing, and Holmes was banned from running a blood testing service for two years.

The WSJ’s report sparked regulatory investigations and a lawsuit by the SEC, ultimately leading to Holmes’ conviction in January 2022 on four counts of fraud and conspiracy.
