00:00New York City heiress Belle Burden claims that just moments after telling their kids they were getting a divorce,
00:05her cheating ex-husband had the gall to ask her to make him a sandwich.
00:09And my younger daughter turned and was smiling.
00:15And I think she thought this was like some big act and it was a joke.
00:19Yeah. And then she looked at my face and saw how sad I looked and she just screamed.
00:26And my older daughter just sat very calmly with her arms crossed.
00:30Just she's just watching her father.
00:34And my husband looked at me and said, I'm starving. Can you make me a sandwich?
00:39The mom of three who describes her hedge fund executive husband Henry Davis's affair in her newly released memoir
00:45told the New York Times Modern Love podcast that the couple sat down with their children in early 2020 in Martha's Vineyard to break the news.
00:52Roughly a month after Davis packed up and left the home where they were quarantining together.
00:57The bombshell is the latest detail to emerge after Burden, whose full name is Flobell Fairbanks Burden,
01:03laid bare the details of her husband's affair and subsequent end of their 20-year marriage in her new book,
01:08Strangers, A Memoir of Marriage, which she has seen excitedly unboxing in this video posted to her Instagram.
01:14The 56-year-old, who is the granddaughter of legendary Big Apple socialite Babe Paley,
01:19claims she learned of her 60-year-old hubby's infidelity with a much younger co-worker he met through work
01:24after his mistress's spouse left her a voicemail.
01:27She claims that Davis originally pleaded with her and claimed the ordeal was over,
01:32but then rushed to his mistress's side the day after she tried to kill herself.
01:36He fled their $7.5 million second home in Martha's Vineyard without saying goodbye to his three kids
01:41and dumped Burden over the phone.
01:43I thought I was happy, but I'm not.
01:45I thought I wanted our life, but I don't.
01:47Davis allegedly told Burden.
01:49I feel like a switch has flipped.
01:51I'm done.
01:52She claims he then said,
01:53You can have the Martha's Vineyard house and the New York apartment.
01:56You can have custody of the kids.
01:58I don't want it.
01:59I don't want any of it.
02:00Davis, for his part, has stayed mostly silent following his ex-wife's scandalous revelations,
02:05though said in a brief statement that,
02:06While I disagree with many of her recollections,
02:09as well as her overall mischaracterization of my relationship with my children,
02:12I do not wish to comment in more detail
02:14in order to protect them from further violations of their privacy.
