Marco Antonio Muniz, popularly known as Marc Anthony is a successful singer, songwriter, record executive, and actor. Anthony has laid his hands on the Grammy Award three times and the Latin Grammy Award six times. Before walking down the aisle with Shannon De Lima, the hot and stunning Venezuelan model, he was previously married to Dayanara Torres and Jennifer Lopez.
As both of them ended in a divorce, people thought that he might be third-time lucky. However, the marriage with Shannon didn’t work out either. They hit a rough patch and things ended in another divorce for Anthony.
Though many would like to believe the iconic kiss that Anthony and Lopez shared to be the primary reason why these two are no more together, Shannon denies it. Anyway, Anthony had to take out $10,000 every month from his banks for three years as a settlement amount.
Kate Beckinsale & Len Wiseman - Settlement: Unknown
The English actress kick-started her acting career in the year 1933 with the romantic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing. Since then, Kate has played major roles in films of different genres such as Pearl Harbor, Total Recall, the Underworld film franchise, Aviator, and many more.
Therefore, accumulating enough wealth to ward off any financial issue hasn’t been tough for her at any point in time. Kate came across Len Wiseman on the sets of Underworld. The two exchanged wedding vows in the year 2004. However, after staying together for 15 years, the two decided to end their marriage.
Nothing controversial is involved here. They chose to separate since they were unable to devote time to each other owing to their tight schedules. Neither of the two asked for spousal support from the other. This is what we call maturity.

The list comprises The Times, The Sun, The Wall Street Journal, The Australian, along with Sky News Australia, Fox News, as well as Harper Collins, the book publisher, among others. He was married to Wendi Deng from 1999 to 2013.
Irreconcilable differences between the two led them to take the help of a lawyer to file for a divorce. Though from the outside, it was all good for the duo, things were quite different in reality. The amount decided for settlement was $60 million. That is actually nothing if you consider the billionaire’s net fortune. Murdoch is married to Jerry Hall for the last five years.
Demi Moore & Bruce Willis - Settlement: Reported $90 Million
Both Demi Moore and Bruce Willis have enjoyed a fantastic career in Hollywood career. While Demi has given many men sleepless nights over the years with her bold and beautiful roles in films, Bruce has made the hearts of many a woman, skip a beat. The Indecent Proposal actress and the Die Hard actor took the plunge in the year 1987 and welcomed three daughters into the family.
The two were indeed one of the power couples of Hollywood. It seems that enormous success, popularity, and a magnificent bank balance took away their attention from one another, and unfortunately, things finally culminated in a divorce in the year 2000.
They were hardly able to spend time together towards the end and hence, the decision to part ways. Well, both have moved on in life after Bruce paid Demi a settlement sum of $90 million.
Johnny Depp & Amber Heard - Settlement: Reported $7 Million
Johnny Depp is one of the most versatile actors that Hollywood has ever seen. Be it the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow, or Finding Neverland, the actor has stunned the audience every time he has appeared on the silver screen. He has earned a substantial sum to keep a bankruptcy attorney away.
Depp has had plenty of relationships with women, like Sherilyn Fenn, Winona Ryder, Kate Moss, and Vanessa Paradis, while being married to two – Lori Allison and Amber Heard. He was in a marital partnership with Amber from 2015 to 2017.
We are not sure how, but things between the two started getting bad and soon, it turned worse. Hence, Depp and Amber that taking a divorce would be in their best interests. Amber received a settlement sum of $7 million from Depp, which she gave away to several charitable organizations.
Bill Gates and Melinda Gates - Settlement: Reported $65 Billion
Who would have ever thought that Bill and Melinda Gates would divorce? Though we found it hard to believe at first, we had to accept the fact that the 4th richest man on this planet and his wife of 27 years are on their way to split up.
Though they are now separated from each other, sources reveal that a divorce is soon on the way. We wish this weren’t true. Bill laid the foundation of Microsoft Corporation along with Paul Allen, his friend from childhood. He and Melinda founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, reportedly to be the largest private organization that deals in philanthropy.
If the divorce eventually happens and the approximate settlement amount of $65 billion is finalized, the duo’s individual wealth will undergo a noticeable change. Till then, let’s hope things go fine between the pair.
Reba McEntire & Narvel Blackstock - Settlement: Reported $47.5 million
The popular country singer stepped into the music industry when she was in high school. That was the start of a magnificent career. Reba McEntire has gifted us with several singles, including Somebody Should Leave and How Blue. Her success helped her notch up huge earnings. She is lovingly called The Queen of Country.
After a divorce from Charles Battles in 1987, Reba and Narvel Blackstock became man and wife in the year 1989. The fans were heartbroken when they came to know that the couple is on the road to a separation owing to differences that couldn’t be sorted out.
The divorce was finalized in the year 2015. $47.5 million was decided to be the settlement sum. The good thing is that Reba and Narvel are on cordial terms even after they split up. It’s always nice to see them greeting each other whenever they cross paths.
Kim Basinger & Alec Baldwin - Settlement: Reported $3 Million
Alec Baldwin chanced upon Kim Basinger when they were shooting for The Marrying Man. Kim had Alec go weak in his knees. Though Kim had no such feelings for Alec, the latter left no stone unturned in wooing her. The actress was highly impressed with Alec’s efforts to win her and she accepted his marriage proposal.
The couple tied the knot in the year 1993. They seemed to be one of the most perfect couples we have seen. But when the custody battle over Ireland, their daughter, came out in the open, we were kind of shocked at the unfolding of a high-profile drama.
The divorce was filed in the year 2002 and the settlement amount was fixed at $3 million. The duo has been co-operating with each other as far as bringing up Ireland is concerned. The separation has proved to be costly for the two for sure.
Lionel Richie & Diane Richie – Settlement: Reported $20 million
His career with Commodores, the popular funk band, and later on, a solo career has put Lionel Richie on a very high pedestal of fame and popularity. Some of his successful singles are My Love, Say You, Say Me, Three Times a Lady, etc.
Before walking down the aisle with Diane Alexander, Richie was married to Brenda Harvey. They divorced in 1993 and Richie soon took the plunge with Diane. However, things don’t always happen according to our will. Things must have gone awry.
Otherwise, the couple wouldn’t have filed for a divorce in the year 2003. We felt these two would never separate. Therefore, this divorce was definitely not pleasant for us. Coming to the settlement amount, Richie had to pay $20 million from his banks and hand it over to Diane. It’s sad to see relationships coming to an end like this.
Adele & Simon Konecki - Settlement: Reported $90 million
Adele and Simon Konecki are from two vastly different fields. Yet, love brought them together. We say love because we thought that the two would never stay without each other. On the contrary, this couple filed for a divorce as well. The singer and investment banker started together in the year 2011 and after a courtship of five years, they decided to settle down in marriage.
However, Adele confirmed her marriage to Simon not before she received her Grammy in the year 2017. Almost two years later, the marriage was in troubled waters. The couple made their divorce a low-key affair and the settlement amount was not made public.
But according to the information that we have received, it was not more than $90 million. Adele and Simon are jointly taking care of their son and are committed to giving him a good upbringing. They surely have some investments lined up for him.
Alex Rodriguez & Cynthia Scurtis - Settlement: Reported $26 million
Alex Rodriguez, whom you know as A-Rod is a former baseball star and businessman. Cynthia is a former teacher. The couple tied the knot in the year 2002, but soon differences began to crop up. Owing to a failure in sorting certain issues out, Alex and Cynthia concluded that it was time to call a divorce attorney.
The pair finally parted ways in the year 2008. They have two kids – Natasha and Ella. As for the settlement part, Alex was asked to hand over the keys to his $12 million Florida mansion to Cynthia and also pay her $26 million from his fortune.
Alex, later on, got involved with singer and actress, Jennifer Lopez. But they have recently broken up. Now, he is spending quality time with Cynthia and his two kids. It’s good to see him taking care of them.
Colin Firth & Livia Giuggioli - Settlement: Reported $12.5 Million
Academy Award-winning English actor Colin Firth and his partner Livia Giuggioli, who’s an Italian film producer had met on the sets of Nostromo, the 1996 BBC drama. The couple fell for each other almost instantaneously and married within a year. Very soon, they shifted to a beautiful region in Umbria in Italy and welcomed the arrival of their two boys, Luca and Matteo. But after 22 years of marriage and counselling thereafter, the couple separated in 2019.
Most sources close to them revealed that things weren’t great between them. Firth also had a son with the actress Meg Tilly, before Giuggioli and later on, it’s said that an extramarital relationship was brewing between Giuggioli and Italian journalist Marco Brancaccia. This was between 2015 and 2016 when a break occurred between the couple.
Despite the friendship that the couple maintains, a divorce settlement amount of $12.5 million was fixed, which actually turned out to be a very expensive one!
Shannon & David Beador - Settlement: Reported $1.4 Million
In 2017, Shannon and David Beador from The Real Housewives of Orange County decided to opt for splitsville! Much like the show, their relationship underwent drastic changes. Using therapy and marriage counselling, the couple had tried to mend ways, but everything went in vain.
Within a year and a half, Shannon decided to file for divorce from David and their divorce judgment occurred in the Orange County Superior Court. In Season 10, Shannon also stated that David was unfaithful towards her and the couple chose to renew vows on-camera. But the court battle was a tumultuous one and David settled with Shannon for $1.4 million as the deal in 2019.
The couple has 3 daughters and both will share legal and physical custody of them. For spousal support, David had to pay Shannon $10,000 every month. Now, Shannon is dating John Janssen for more than a year and David is already married to his present wife, Lesley Cook.
Michael Strahan & Jean Muggli - Settlement: Reported $15.3 million
American journalist, TV personality, and former professional football player, Michael Anthony Strahan played from the defensive end, representing New York Giants at NFL, all through his career, spanning 15 years. The duo met for the first time when Strahan played for his team and she worked in a renowned spa. It was only when he asked her out that Muggli understood they would take the next leap in their relationship.
After walking down the aisle in 1999, the couple spent happy moments. Strahan was married to his first wife Wanda Hutchins before and had two children Michael Jr. and Tanita. However, not everything was going well between them and the duo announced their divorce in 2006.
Strahan made great earnings and could hence afford $15.3 million as a divorce settlement and even paid $18,000 a month toward child support, following her divorce from the NFL star. Muggli had previously made headlines, in terms of her custody battle with Strahan.
Matt Lauer & Annette Roque - Settlement: Reported $20 Million
Matthew Todd Lauer came to the limelight after his long stint at NBC News. The former American TV news personality was terminated from his contract in November 2017, owing to allegations of wrongful behavior. The pair separated in 2017 and their divorce came after two years.
Had it not been for a scandal, things wouldn’t be so disturbed. Matt Lauer had married Annette Roque, a model, and equestrian, way back in October 1998, following a blind date. The couple has 3 children- 18-year old Jack, 15-year old daughter Romy and 12-year old son Thijs.
NBC’s firing of Matt proved the most problematic point in his life. Even in 2006, Annette had filed for divorce, accusing him of committing some ‘inhumane acts’. So the attempt wasn’t anything new! This time however they separated since no counselling sessions worked well. Matt paid a whopping $20 million as a settlement. The exes now support their daughters jointly.
Denise Richards & Charlie Sheen - Settlement: Reported $25 Million
It remains a big question why at all Denise and Charlie decided to stay together when in reality they were not really carved for each other! Their rocky relationship spans for close to 2 decades, yet it was marked by differences and insults aplenty that they exchanged through the entire process.
The two discovered love in each other when they met in a show called Good Advice. Despite their ups and downs, the pair somehow managed to retain their reputation publicly and emerge “unscathed”. Denise had accused Charlie of infidelity and even in matters of their children. Thankfully, the duo has discovered a new love and now co-parents their two daughters.
There’s no dearth of wealth for the pair and the two can even afford a high-end lifestyle that most others would simply dream of! Peculiarly, the couple (perhaps) feared bankruptcy and hence settled for $25 million, which is also not that meager an amount!
Prince Charles & Princess Diana – Settlement: Reported $22.5 Million
The royal wedding heading towards divorce is no ordinary news and the world was taken aback at their sad story. The couple’s relationship was doomed even before the actual divorce occurred and Diana and Charles stopped referring to each other as their spouse.
Princess Diana as we know was quite popular with the public and the pair’s troubled union had captured the attention of almost every individual. While it seemed like her life was going perfect, the reality was far from the truth and she underwent plenty of marital issues (including cheating) with Charles.
Just like a princess and her lifestyle would allow, Diana received a ‘startling’ $22.5 million as her settlement deal. In most of her interviews, she stated openly that she tried her best to save her marriage in 1995, but by then it was apparent that nothing would work out and the divorce was official a year later.
Alec & Jocelyn Wildenstein – Settlement: Reported $2.5 Billion
Jocelyn is one of the most famous American socialites who’s best recognized for her drastic cosmetic surgeries that resulted in a catlike appearance! Her high-profile divorce in 1999 from businessman and billionaire art dealer, Alec Wildenstein is another major reason why most people know her for. She received a whopping 2.5 billion dollars as the settlement amount!
While most people seem to notice her plastic surgery that eventually backfired, not many might be aware that this need to go under the knife emanated from her relationship with her husband, and her relentless effort in saving the marriage. But Alec was equally horrified seeing her in this state and screamed loud!
Jocelyn accepted how she stuck to a lavish lifestyle and needed almost $1 million every month. Alec helped her immensely, as he had inherited half of a business empire himself! But even then, her bankruptcy attorney failed to save her from being broke.
Kelsey & Camille Grammer – Settlement: Reported $30 Million
Camille Grammer-Meyer starred in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and made great earnings as a dancer, writer, producer, model, actress, and TV personality. Kelsey is best known for his “decade-long portrayal” of the role as Dr. Frasier in the NBC sitcom Cheers and then Frasier.
As per Kelsey, the marriage to Camille wouldn’t have survived since Camille had a divorce on her mind, right from the first day. If his words are to be believed, the real reason Camille wanted to marry was mostly because of his stupendous success in Frasier. In reality, she had no interest in him as a person. Surely it doesn’t sound that great, but the divorce attorney probably had filed just a day with this $30 million settlement.
Both the stars are famous and have received a lot of accolades, but we only hope they’ve saved enough for their health insurance since they’re aging.
Phil Collins & Jill Tavelman - Settlement: Reported $34 Million
A widely known singer and songwriter, Phil Collins’ work is best appreciated for his work and the unprecedented success he gained from the same. Jill Tavelman, the American actress, architect, and businesswoman was Phil’s second wife.
Unfortunately, the career success story that Phil carved for himself couldn’t be replicated in his personal life as he had to give her a whopping $34 million as settlement money. Phil was accused of infidelity in 2016 and that led to the break. Phil was previously married to Andrea Bertorelli when he was just a student and then they reconnected many years later.
Not that he’s been proud of his personal life and his bank accounts have been depleted a great deal, thanks to the divorces. Presently, he’s with his ex-wife Orianne and seems to be in a much better place in life. We hope he’s learned from his mistakes, before deciding to remarry now.
Giada De Laurentiis & Todd Thompson - Settlement: Reported Est.$5.9 Million
The founder of GDL foods is one of the most known faces on TV. The celebrity chef, television personality, and writer has been the presenter of Giada at Home on the Food Network. She is also a guest co-anchor as well as a contributor on Today, the morning show on the NBC network. She has her banks full with the money she has earned so far.
However, her divorce with Todd Thompson really burnt a hole in her pocket. Giada and Todd walked down the aisle in the year 2003. They welcomed their daughter Jade into their family and things were going well for her.
But it was December 2014 when Giada announced her intentions to end her marriage to Todd. The formalities were carried out and they officially split up in 2015. She was really disappointed that she lost the $3.2 million Pacific Palisades home to her former husband.
Chris Rock & Malaak Compton Rock - Settlement: Reported $48.6 Million
If you are a fan of stand-up comedy, the name of Chris Rock would surely ring a bell. He grabbed the limelight as a cast member of the late-night comedy and variety show, Saturday Night Live. He moved on to films and starred in the Madagascar movie series, Head of State, Grown Ups, Grown Ups, etc.
Chris has been the presenter of the Oscars twice and has more than three Emmy Awards and well as over two Grammy Awards under his belt. He and Malaak Compton tied the knot in the year 1996. Contrary to the popular belief that Chris and Malaak are destined to stay together forever, the couple decided to split.
After spending 20 years together, the duo had their divorce finalized in 2016 with the help of a lawyer. It’s good that they are having joint custody of their kids.
Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries - Settlement: Reported $10 Million
Kim Kardashian is one of the most stunning women around. She has gained fame as a socialite, a television personality, a model, and a businesswoman. Kim stole the spotlight when Keeping Up with the Kardashians, a highly popular reality show started airing on the E! network. She has a massive online presence, a number of followers on social media, and an impressive bank balance.
Before being married to Kanye West, Kim was first married to Damon Thomas and then, to Kris Humphries. Her divorce from Kris gained the attention of the paparazzi big time. Though many claimed that the marriage was nothing short of a sham and everything was staged, we actually don’t know the truth.
There was a common belief that Kim had used Kris as a pawn in order to grab eyeballs, but we are not sure if that’s the case. It was a 72-day marriage, at the end of which the settlement amount was fixed at $10 million.
Chris Martin & Gwyneth Paltrow - Settlement: Reported $7.5 Million
Do you know how a civil divorce should be? Look at the case of Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. You might have hardly seen an amicable divorce such as this one. Neither of them insulted or demeaned each other, created a scene or shouted derogatory words at each other.
Chris and Gwyneth were in no hurry to have their divorce finalized. Staying apart from each other was enough for them actually. The complete procedure took two years to get finalized. Money wasn’t that important for them at all and the two divided everything into equal halves.
They agreed to have joint custody of their kids – an issue which a majority of divorced couples keep fighting over. We believe that Chris and Gwyneth are still on friendly terms. The Shakespeare in Love actress and the singer and songwriter were married for 13 years.
Roman & Irina Abramovich - Settlement: Reported $300 Million
The Russian-Israeli businessman has billions in his bank account. The owner of the Premier League club, Chelsea has a total wealth of $14.8 billion. Roman is a politician as well. He has had three marriages, all of which ended in a divorce.
The most famous of his marital relationships was with Irina Malandina, a former stewardess of Russian Aeroflot. They welcomed five children into their family. However, trouble broke in paradise and the two decided to split up. The settlement amount at the time of the divorce was decided at $300 million. Irina could have claimed at least half of roman’s total fortune.
However, she chose not to. Anybody in her place at that time would have grasped whatever they could. The marriage was of course not for money. It was true love for Irina. Unfortunately, good things don’t last forever.
Heidi Klum & Seal - Settlement: Reported $70 Million
There is no doubt in the fact that Heidi and Seal were one of the most popular and loved couples for many. Therefore, it was natural for the fans to be in a state of shock when they heard that the pair are getting divorced. Irreconcilable differences and issues that should have been avoided led to the end of this marriage.
The two exchanged marital vows in the year 2005 and hired a divorce lawyer to go separate ways in the year 2014. The German-American model and the British singer and songwriter share four children between them. This relationship could have lasted for a lifetime, but that was not meant to be.
Heidi has been a Victoria’s Secret Angel for 13 years. Post ending that run, she has been a complete businesswoman and is currently married to Tom Kaulitz, the guitarist of Tokio Hotel, the rock band from Germany.
Todd Chrisley & Teresa Terry - Settlement: Reported Unknown
Todd Chrisley is a real estate tycoon who has net earnings of over a million. He gained fame with the reality television show, Chrisley Knows Best. There have been 8 seasons of the show, all of which have garnered impressive TRPs.
Before exchanging wedding vows with Julie in the year 1996, Todd was initially married to Teresa Terry, his girlfriend from high school. If reports are believed to be true, then Todd and Teresa went through a terrible married life.
There were a lot of speculations about Todd being mentally and physically abusive towards Teresa, and his harsh behavior was the reason why the two broke up. But we hardly know the what’s the actual truth. Anyway, the settlement amount is not known to us. Todd asked for $1 million from his ex-wife for child support. We guess he never got it.
Mike Tyson & Robin Givens - Settlement: Reported $10 Million
Mike Tyson is one of the greatest boxers of all time. Despite the fact that there have been several controversies surrounding him, Tyson has come back every time and has proved his worth. He occupied the position of the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world from the year 1987 to 1990.
He has been honored with an induction into the World Boxing Hall of Fame as well as the prestigious International Boxing Hall of Fame. Tyson faced bankruptcy once, but like every time, he has bounced back. Robin Givens, the model, and actress, was his first wife.
Nothing was good in this marriage as it was described as tumultuous by the media. They were married for a year and had no kids. Well, Robin could have claimed a lot more than those $10 million that she got. But, she didn’t and we appreciate that.
Kendra Wilkinson & Hank Baskett - Settlement: Even split of assets
Kendra Wilkinson rose to fame as the girlfriend of the Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend. He is a popular model and TV personality. After meeting former National Football League wide receiver, Hank Baskett, she moved out of the Playboy mansion and married him in the year 2009.
She gave birth to the couple’s first child that same year and their second child in 2014. However, things suddenly started taking a wrong turn and Kendra filed for divorce in the year 2018. This marriage could have lasted for a lifetime, but that was definitely not to be.
An equal split of assets during the divorce settlement however showed that the two are keen on handling things with maturity. As far as child custody is concerned, nothing is confirmed. We believe they would consult an attorney regarding this. We are not sure if Kendra is seeing somebody these days.
John Cleese & Alyce Faye Eichelberger - Settlement: Reported $32.7 Million
This is probably the rarest of rare cases. Alyce Faye Eichelberger received a settlement amount of $32.7 million from John Cleese ($19.7 million from his bank balance and the rest, assets) and became richer than him. At the time of the divorce, Alyce received almost every kind of property from John.
Even the couple’s residences in London and New York were handed over to the psychotherapist and author. We are not sure if such a situation compelled John to burst out of anger, but we do hope the proceedings were calm and quiet.
The actor, screenwriter, and comedian married Alyce in the year 1992. But things ended for them in the year 2008. He is now in a marital relationship with the former model, Jennifer Wade since the year 2012. We are eagerly waiting for his next work and want to know what he has up his sleeve next.
Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd - Settlement: Reported $14 Million
Jennifer Lopez would have cursed her own fate for the day when she chanced upon Cris Judd for the first time. The two’s eyes met during the shoot of the music video of Jennifer’s number, Love Don’t Cost a Thing.
Considering the fact that Jennifer had to shell out a whopping $14 million from her bank account at the end of their marriage of nine months, the title of the song is indeed ironic. Many are of the opinion that Cris tied the knot with the singer and actress because he was interested in her money.
Well, nobody has been able to prove anything. Jennifer has since then, moved on in her life, but we guess she must be ruing over the fact that her hard-earned $14 million have gone out of her pockets. Hopefully, everything will go well for her in the times to come.
Lance Armstrong & Kristin Richard - Settlement: Reported $14 Million
The retired road racing cyclist had many ups and downs in his life. But nothing probably was as hurting as his divorce to Kristin Richard. They met for the first time in the year 1997 and eventually took the plunge a year later.
Kristin had been by his side when Lance was going through chemotherapy and surgery as he was suffering from testicular cancer. No one can deny that many good things happened in the champion cyclist’s life when he was married to Kristin.
The duo shares three kids between them and Lance does makes sure he gets to meet them from time to time. No one ever thought that two wouldn’t be together one day. They divorced in the year 2004, with the settlement amount being decided at $14 million. With all that being said, we hope he is doing well these days.
Jeff Gordon & Brooke Sealey - Settlement: Reported $15 Million
Jeff Gordon and Brooke Sealey met in the year 1993 and started dating each other secretly as there was an unwritten rule that drivers are not allowed to date the models. After a courtship of one year, one of the best NASCAR drivers of all time popped the question to Sealey and the two walked down the aisle in the year 1994.
Unfortunately, there was trouble in paradise and things soon started taking an ugly turn with accusations and counter-accusations. They filed for a divorce and Sealey received a settlement amount of $15 million.
Though he never wanted to part ways with this part of his hard-earned wealth, Gordon had no other option. Things were finalized in the year 2003 and the duo went on separate paths. He is now married to Belgian Model, Ingrid Vandebosch for the last 15 years.
Usher & Grace Miguel - Settlement: Unknown
Usher and Grace were involved in a 10-year relationship and a 2-year marital relationship. Unfortunately, knowing each other for such a long time proved futile as the two split up. According to what they commentated on their divorce, both Usher and Grace contemplated a lot on whether to separate or not for a pretty long time.
They did their best in making their marriage a success, but things didn’t work out the way they wanted. Parting ways was a mutual decision. Hence, we have nothing to say about it. We are not even sure whether they actually opted for marriage counseling.
The former couple started going around with each other in the year 2009, they took the plunge in 2015. Reports reveal that Usher is expecting a second child with Jenn Goicoechea, the music executive after the latter gave birth to a daughter in 2020.
Scott Phillips & Julie Bowen - Settlement: Reported $25 Million
Julie Bowen grabbed eyeballs as Claire Dunphy in Modern Family, the comedy series. She also portrayed the roles of Roxanne Please on the NBC show, ER, Carol Vessey on the comedy-drama show, Ed, Denise Bauer on the ABC legal comedy-drama, Boston Legal, as well as Sarah Shephard on ABC’s Lost.
As for her film career, we have caught Julie in Kids in America, Jumping the Broom, Happy Gilmore, and Happy Bosses. On the personal front, she was married to software developer and real estate investor, Scott Phillips in September 2004. After 14 years, the two felt it was time to give up on each other.
The divorce took place in September 2018. They share three sons between them. It was really surprising that the two had to split though. It was kind of beyond our thoughts. Julie surely has kept her kids’ insurance plans ready.
Alessandra Ambrosio & Jamie Mazur - Settlement Amount: Unknown
Alessandra Ambrosio has had a fantastic career as a supermodel. The Brazilian stunner has modeled for various high-profile brands such as Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, among many others. She has often set the ramp on fire with her oh-so-gorgeous appearance.
Alessandra got engaged to Jamie Mazur, an American businessman and the two stuck to each other for 13 years before making up their minds to walk away from each other. No one came to know that something was brewing in their relationship till the time Alessandra announced that they are not together anymore.
The settlement amount is not known though. Alessandra and Jaime never married. Therefore, they didn’t have to take the services of a family lawyer. They have two kids and we hope that the former couple would take all measures in securing their future.
Johnny Carson & Joanna Holland - Settlement: Reported $20 Million
Joanna had pocketed about $20 million at the time of divorce, but this amount is even greater now, thanks to the depreciation of the currency. Johnny Carson, known for being a popular and successful actor in the last and current century has made adequate earnings and could afford such an amount.
Joanna had met Johnny at ‘21 Club’, one of the most famous restaurants, where the former host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson was dining with Molly Parnis, a reputed fashion designer. Johnny had shocked everyone after he tied the knot with Joanna, in a secret move in Santa Monica at the 10th anniversary part of The Tonight Show. After 10 years, things got difficult and they tried their best, but couldn’t after 13 years.
Johnny’s bank account certainly got dented, but then the actor who married four times in his life is not here anymore to enjoy his wealth (he passed away in 2005).
