Ivy Getty, the billionaire heiress to the Getty oil fortune, will divorce photographer husband Tobias Engel. Page Six was first to report the split.
According to court documents obtained by Vanity Fair, Getty filed for divorce in New York in January 2024, and court documents categorized the split as “contested,” meaning the two had not mediated their separation before Getty filed.
The duo married in a private ceremony in December 2020, then in November 2021 hosted a lavish celebration to toast their union in style. At the second ceremony, in San Francisco, Getty wore a custom dress designed by John Galliano for Maison Margiela Haute Couture, embellished with broken mirrors to create a floral motif, along with a coordinating headpiece and a 16-foot veil. The gown was rumored to cost $500,000. That ceremony was officiated by then-House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and actor Anya-Taylor Joy was maid of honor.
The couple reportedly had a prenuptial agreement in place to protect Getty’s wealth.
“Obviously, being a member of the Getty family, Ivy is careful about legal entanglements,” an anonymous source told Page Six.
On Getty’s Instagram, most photographic evidence of Engel appears to have been scrubbed, and the model has not sported her sapphire and diamond engagement ring in a post since January.
Getty's attorney of record did not immediately respond to Vanity Fair's request for comment.
