Actress Mary-Kate Olsen filed for divorce from French executive Olivier Sarkozy , whom she started dating in 2012 and married in 2015.
According to legal documents, the 33-year-old artist asked for an "emergency court order" so that the coronavirus pandemic would not delay the separation of her 50-year-old husband.
As revealed by the site E! News , Mary-Kate attempted to file for divorce on April 17, but was unable to do so due to the current health problem.
That is why he is now trying to end his marriage to the French banker through an emergency order. Court documents indicate that it is also seeking to enforce a prenuptial agreement.
Although the agreement is not specified, in 2007 Forbes magazine ranked Mary-Kate and her twin sister Ashley together as the eleventh richest women in entertainment, with an estimated combined net worth of $ 100 million.
Apparently, the actress wants the divorce to be carried out as soon as possible, because she claims that Olivier is trying to remove her from the apartment that she lives in New York.
According to TMZ the situation is complicated, since Olivier would have forced his still wife to move out of the apartment, by terminating his lease without alerting her.
His lawyers told him to go out on May 18, but that is not enough time to get another property, so he asked for an extension until May 30. He has reportedly received no response.
Legally, by filing a divorce petition, Mary-Kate automatically detains her partner to dispose of his belongings in any capacity.
It's unclear what caused the couple's abrupt divorce, but a source previously shared with E! News that Mary-Kate and Olivier have very different perspectives on life.
The truth is that each one already lives on their own, and the last time they saw them together was in November, when they were with their twin sister Ashley and her boyfriend Louis Eisner , 30 years old.
Although the Olsen twins are reserved with their private lives, Mary-Kate and Olivier often went out to attend the New York Knicks games, and enjoyed double dates with Ashley and her boyfriend.
Mary-Kate and Olivier were married on November 27, 2015 in an intimate ceremony with 50 guests in a private residence. The couple originally got engaged in February 2014 after two years of dating.
Sarkozy was previously married to Charlotte Bernard , with whom he shares two children, Julien and Margo , while he represented Mary-Kate's first marriage.
