PayPal founder and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk and British actress Talulah Riley are getting a divorce.
Musk told Forbes magazine on January 18th, “I still love her but I’m not in lover with her. And I can’t give her what she wants.”
But Riley beat Musk to the punch and filed the divorce papers first citing “irreconcilable differences.” Musk hasn’t filed divorce papers yet.
Riley and Musk married after two years of dating much to the dismay of Riley’s father who thought Musk was a “playboy.”
It only took the couple 18 months to head to a
divorce lawyer. Musk married Riley just a few months after his divorce from first wife and mother of his five children ended. Musk and Riley dated two years before they married.
It isn’t surprising that the couple split since second marriages have a higher divorce rate than first marriages. Second marriages have a 60 percent divorce rate. There is also a significant age difference Musk is 40 and Riley is 26.
Elon who is worth an estimated $680 million will certainly benefit for the expert counsel of a
divorce attorney. It is unclear if they signed a prenuptial agreement.
they can find to protect their assets and get a favorable outcome. Divorces can bring out the worst in people, and often get nasty.
