Who is Billy Evans? Elizabeth Holmes’s Partner in You Can See Everything

Most of us had the same experience with You Can See Everything, right? You go in ready for an awkward showdown between Nathan Fielder and Elizabeth Holmes. Then Billy Evans gets weirder and weirder and weirder. By the end, You Can See Everything feels less like an Elizabeth Holmes documentary and more an exposé on Billy Evans. 

This is a comprehensive look at Billy Evans. I’ll dive into his background, what Fielder and Lance Oppenheim have said about him, his relationship with Holmes, and what he’s doing right now. 

Everything to know about Billy Evans after watching You Can See Everything

Does Billy Evans come from money? 

There’s that strange conversation where Fielder says Billy’s wealthy, then Billy tries to clarify that there are different levels of wealth before he gives up and moves on. 

His family owns Evans Hotels. Billy’s grandma and grandpa Evans started the brand in San Diego in 1953. They kicked things off with the Bahia Resort Hotel in Mission Bay, then developed the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa in 1958. The hotels are literally 1.7 miles from one another. Things stayed that way until 2002, when the family opened The Lodge at Torrey Pines. They say it’s a AAA Five Diamond resort, but I’m not rich enough to know what that means. It sounds expensive, though. 

So there’s definitely family money. But probably not at the level of, say, the Hiltons. But way more than the average person. 

Is Billy Evans still with Elizabeth Holmes? Does he still live in Austin?

Yes. The two are still together, and Billy is in Austin, just like at the end of the film. 

In September, it was announced that Holmes will transfer to the Austin Transitional Center in August of 2027. The government reduced her sentence by one year, so her release is scheduled for February 2030. 

Why did they show Billy’s willy?

I don’t have an answer for this. I’m just seriously asking, because…what? I guess Billy really did want Fielder to see everything. 

What has Billy Evans said about You Can See Everything?

As of publication, Billy’s most recent statement occurred on October 15, 2026, the day before You Can See Everything’s release. He was a guest on the All-In Podcast. He confirmed he hadn’t seen the movie yet and that they did the documentary so people could get to know the real Elizabeth. He did say that,“I might think this is like the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.” once he saw the film. Now that it’s out, I’m sure his phone is blowing up with people saying it’s the dumbest thing he’s ever done. 

The only other detail he really shared was that the movie was supposed to come out within a year of filming. He didn’t elaborate on what happened to cause it to stretch out as long as it did. 

Does Billy Evans really control Elizabeth Holmes’s Twitter account?

I mean, yeah. The movie confirmed he manages it and that Holmes is okay with it. On September 27th, probably in response to chatter after You Can See Everything’s festival debut, Holmes posted that her tweets will include “-EAH” as the signature. “Posts without that signature are from the team managing this account.” That probably means Billy. 

Billy also shared a trailer to the documentary from Holmes’s account, back in September. 

He also tweeted on October 5: “I really don’t think you are ready for this doc.” Which seems insane having seen the doc. He must not know how he comes off. 

The account hasn’t posted since October 8th (as of publication).

Has A24 commented on agreeing to pay Billy Evans?

I couldn’t find any comment from A24. Or anything from Billy about why he declined the money. The implication in the film is that Elizabeth probably talked Billy out of it after Fielder told her about the deal. 

Are Billy and Elizabeth actually married?

This isn’t as easy to answer as you’d think. The two got engaged in 2018, a year after meeting, following a Taylor Swift concert. Vanity Fair reported, in 2019, that “Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes reportedly got married in secret to hotel heir Billy Evans.” 

But in a profile for People Magazine (February 2025), Holmes said, “Maybe we’ll get married someday. But our bond is more than a piece of paper. We bought rings on Amazon before I went to prison. It’s just special to me because our love is deep. It’s real.”

So it doesn’t seem that, as of right now, the two are legally married. They’ve been together for nearly a decade. 

However, during the All-In Podcast, Evans does refer to Holmes as his wife. So your guess is as good as mine. Maybe they got married while she’s in prison? Maybe they just use the words but it’s not legal?

What is the age difference between Billy Evans and Elizabeth Holmes?

Holmes was born in 1984. She’s 42. I couldn’t find Billy’s birthday, but his LinkedIn said he attended MIT from 2010 to 2015. If he started college at 18, like most people, then he’d have been born in 1992. That would put him at 34 years old and eight years younger than Holmes. 

What did Billy Evans do before meeting Elizabeth Holmes?

I think we can assume that Billy grew up rich in San Diego. Then, as we noted earlier, he went to MIT from 2010-2015. 

Business Insider has more of Billy’s career background:

• Student brand manager for Red Bull
• Studied abroad at Fudan University in Shanghai
• Launched “a healthcare startup for transporting wealthy Chinese people to the US for ‘concierge medical attention.’” (sometime around 2015/2016)
• Strategy and leadership program analyst for LinkedIn (ended in 2017)  
• “Manager for special projects” at Luminar Technologies (left in January 2019)

From a 2023 New York Times profile: Mr. Evans took a few calls for work while I was visiting. I asked what he does. “A lot of different stuff, investing, starting companies,” he replied, without elaborating.

His LinkedIn says that Evans has been the CEO of Haemanthus since 2022. 

What is Billy Evans’s company Haemanthus?

Haemanthus is the blood-testing company that Fielder visits the offices of in You Can See Everything. We only see Evans and the one guy who talks mad trash about Theranos until Billy ends the conversation. 

An NPR article from 2025: Haemanthus is in its early stages, according to one person with knowledge of the company. Currently, the company is using light detection technology that can essentially guide AI sensors to conduct medical tests, according to the source and a patent the company was granted in January. 

The company is focused on something called Raman spectroscopy, which has been shown to help diagnose ALS…as well as some forms of cancer… The company’s January patent said the light detection tool can be used to test “biological material,” citing examples including sweat, urine, saliva. The technology can also conduct diagnostic tests using a small sample of blood.

If you want to read the patent: here you go.

The word “haemanthus” is the name of a genus belonging to the Amaryllis family of flowers. It means blood flower. That seems like a nod to the company’s focus on blood testing. 

TechCrunch wrote about Haemanthus and noted: “Early Facebook investor Jim Breyer told The Times that his team was asked to invest but declined ‘for many of the same reasons we passed twice on Theranos.’”

What did Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim say about Billy?

Fielder and Oppenheim did a Q&A following a special L.A. screening on October 6, 2026. 

The Hollywood Reporter recapped what was said:

Asked about where they stand with the couple now, Oppenheim revealed that “Neither of them have seen the film. Elizabeth is still incarcerated; Billy hasn’t seen it,” because of now strained relationship with the crew.

Fielder explained that as they were trying to finish the movie, Evans “started trying to exert a level of control over the process that made it very hard to engage with him, and it was uncomfortable for us and also A24 and everyone. And I think we sort of had to stop—I think communication broke down basically, and we’ve been in that like state for a little bit. So it’s been challenging in that way.”

Fielder was initially off-screen, but the couple “kept kind of pulling him in until it felt suddenly like, oh, the only way to actually make this is to have someone kind of confront their delusions in certain aspects.” 

Fielder: “I still am not sure to this day, like, what I experienced, and it’s one of the reasons I’m excited for it to come out and more people see it. It was just a small group for so long, and I actually think maybe it being out there, everyone can help me understand what I went through a little bit—or what we all went through.” 

Does Billy Evans have strange pets?

Yeah, another Vanity Fair article, published October 1, 2026, has the details. These are the pets:

• Blue Argentine tegu
• Corn snake
• Curly-haired tarantula
• Blue death-feigning beetles
• Two Burmese forest tortoises
