David Geffen Splits from Younger Husband in No-Prenup Showdown
Fantastic, as if we needed another billionaire drama—82-year-old mogul David Geffen just filed to scrap his no-prenup marriage to a 32-year-old go-go dancer, and yes, it’s as messy as it sounds. In Los Angeles Superior Court filings obtained by Page Six on April 22, Geffen officially petitioned for divorce from his husband of nearly two years, a former nightclub performer whose name has been kept mostly under wraps. According to court documents, the two tied the knot in late 2021 after a whirlwind romance that had gossip pages buzzing—but apparently forgot to draft that little thing called a prenuptial agreement.
Look, I don’t want to be the one to say it, but here we are: a billionaire who juggles Hollywood heavyweights can’t be bothered to protect his fortune when romance calls. Reports from People Magazine confirm Geffen’s net worth hovers around $10 billion, which means this split could involve a downgrade from a private jet to a less lavish lifestyle—assuming the judge sides with the dancer on spousal support. Court sources tell The New York Post that the husband is seeking an equitable share of the marital assets, arguing he gave up a promising dancing career to accompany Geffen’s globe-trotting charity gigs.
Let’s call out the obvious nonsense: no prenup means we’re in for a high-stakes tug-of-war. Variety chimed in that Geffen’s filing requests separate support and property division based on California’s community property rules. Translation? Everything acquired during the marriage may be on the table—yacht, art collection, wine cellar and all. Insider reports hint at awkward meetings in posh LA law offices, where Geffen’s high-priced legal team is apparently scrambling to salvage as much of the billionaire’s estate as possible.
I told you so when I warned you that skipping a prenup with a 32-year-old can-go dancer wasn’t the smartest play. Friends close to the couple described the split as “amicable yet tense,” though that usually translates to “prepare for courtroom theatrics.” Page Six also notes that both sides have agreed to keep settlement talks private, but given the size of this cake, expect leaks.
Whether this ends in a quiet cash payout or a full-blown legal spectacle, one thing’s certain: it’s another notch on Tinseltown’s headline belt. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
