It's been just two years of marriage, MacKenzie Scott filed for divorce from her second husband, Dan Jewett, on Monday.
Jewett did not challenge the divorce, and the allocation of assets was already decided upon in a prenuptial agreement, according to documents obtained by the New York Times.
The former couple, who secretly wed in March 2021, first alluded to marital issues when the science teacher's name unexpectedly vanished from Scott's charitable contributions.
His letter is no longer shown beside hers on the Giving Pledge website, where billionaires pledge to donate half of their wealth before they pass away. Any reference of her second marriage was likewise completely removed from her Amazon bio.
After 25 years of marriage, she and Jeff Bezos announced their separation three years before to Scott's divorce.
“We want to make people aware of a development in our lives,” Bezos, the world’s second richest person, tweeted at the time. “As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends.”
He continued, “We feel incredibly lucky to have found each other and deeply grateful for every one of the years we have been married to each other. If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again.”
Just before Bezos' affair with TV journalist Lauren Sanchez was made public, they divorced.
