J. Crew’s Jenna Lyons is a fashion icon and a well-paid executive. But her marriage isn't as much of a success as her business life is and now rumors of a lesbian love affair may complicate her divorce. The couple has been married for 9 years.
Lyons and her husband Vincent Mazeau filed for divorce this past summer. The couple is hashing out the details of their divorce and custody over their five year old son. But the reports of a lesbian love affair may prove to be valuable ammunition for a divorce lawyer.
Lyons left her husband for another unidentified woman also involved in the fashion industry.
According to a story in the New York Post, Mazeau, who is an artist, is asking for the family’s New York City home and a large sum of cash because he put off his career to be a house husband.
Lyon’s maintains that she supported her husband so he did not have to work every day and bought his studio.
Representatives for J. Crew decline to comment on Lyons’ personal life.
In a divorce, it is important to have a skilled divorce attorney to help the couple reach an agreement over who will get what percentage of their shared assets.
Some divorce lawyers suggest that wealthy clients sign pre-nuptial agreements, which can eliminate any disagreements about who deserves what if the couple eventually decides to end their marriages.
