ATLANTA,None — A top business executive admitted Thursday he had a long-running affair after his mistress posted billboards in Atlanta, New York's Times Square and San Francisco with a picture of the pair .
The billboards feature a picture of Charles Phillips, the president and director of software giant Oracle, and YaVaughnie Wilkins.
They also included the quote "You are my soulmate forever" and signed "cep," an apparent reference to Phillips.
The billboards also had the address for the Web site charlesphillipsandyavaughniewilkins.com. That Web site featured more photos of the couple. The site is no longer available.
"I had an eight-and-a-half year serious relationship with YaVaughnie Wilkins," Phillips said in a statement.
Phillips is married, but has filed for divorce.
"My divorce proceedings began in 2008," Mr Philips said. "The relationship with Ms Wilkins has since ended and we both wish each other well."
Last year as director of Oracle, Phillips made more than $19 million in salary and stock options.
The billboards were taken down by Friday.
