00:00Media titan David Geffen has filed for divorce from his husband, David Armstrong, less than two years after the couple quietly tied the knot.
00:09Geffen, 82, cited irreconcilable differences in the filing, according to Temze, and is being represented by renowned divorce attorney Laura Wazer.
00:20Armstrong, 32, a former go-go dancer, also known by the name Donovan Michaels, did not sign a prenuptial agreement with Geffen when they married in 2023, an unexpected move given Geffen's estimated $8.7 billion net worth, per Forbes.
00:39Despite the lack of a prenup, Geffen's financial exposure may be limited.
00:44Having retired 15 years ago, the media mogul's income is reportedly derived from stocks and equities, which under California law are generally considered separate property, including dividends.
00:58This could mean Armstrong will walk away with minimal financial compensation.
01:03California law entitles spouses to support for half the length of the marriage, which in this case amounts to roughly one year.
01:11The exact amount of spousal support was not disclosed.
