Billionaire heiress Ivy Getty, a prominent figure in the fashion world and descendant of oil magnate J. Paul Getty has initiated divorce proceedings with her husband of four years, actor Tobias Engel, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The couple initially tied the knot in a private ceremony in December 2020, followed by a lavish wedding celebration in November 2021, which garnered significant attention.
Reports suggest that a prenuptial agreement was in place, safeguarding the considerable wealth associated with Ivy’s family legacy, a precaution not uncommon within affluent families like the Gettys.
Legal documents obtained by tabloids indicate that Getty’s legal representation filed for divorce in January 2024, with the case listed as “contested,” implying unresolved issues between the parties.
Notably, recent observations reveal that images of Engel have been removed from Ivy Getty’s social media profiles, although traces of their wedding festivities remain visible.
Their wedding festivities commenced with a themed pre-wedding event dubbed “British Invasion” at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, featuring performances by renowned artists Mark Ronson and Earth, Wind & Fire.
The couple exchanged vows at San Francisco City Hall, officiated by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with “Queen’s Gambit” star Anya Taylor-Joy serving as a bridesmaid. The guest list included notable figures such as Gov. Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and various luminaries from the fashion industry.
