US EditionDavid Geffen, 82, Divorcing 32-Year-Old Husband with No Prenup
- At age 82, billionaire David Geffen initiated divorce proceedings against his husband David Armstrong, who is 60 years younger, in May 2025, ending their marriage of nearly two years in Beverly Hills.
- The split follows their March 2023 wedding without a prenuptial agreement, with Geffen citing irreconcilable differences as the reason.
- Geffen hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, and Armstrong, a former go-go dancer known as Donovan Michaels, may receive spousal support and fees despite likely getting little cash settlement.
- Under California law, spousal support usually lasts half the marriage length, meaning Geffen will likely pay Armstrong for about one year while retaining his separate $8.7 billion net worth mostly from stocks and investments.
- The divorce marks a quiet end to a headline-grabbing union with a 50-year age gap and contrasting backgrounds, and no public word exists on Armstrong contesting the split.
