The divorce of Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy was granted, nine months after the end of their five-year marriage.
The ex-couple’s agreement was signed by a New York Supreme Court judge on Monday, January 25, the US Weekly reported.
The 34-year-old actress and the 51-year-old French banker – half-brother to Nicolas Sarkozy, the former president of France – reached a divorce settlement two weeks ago during a virtual hearing on January 13.
Michael Mosberg, a lawyer for Sarkozy, the father of two, told the New York Supreme Court at the previous hearing that “the deal is closed”.

He said the final details were agreed on January 13, before a hearing with Judge Lori Sattler.
Nancy Chemtob, who represents Olsen, said that ‘all issues have been resolved’, but no details have been given to the court.
Olsen nodded when Judge Sattler said, ‘If we can make the deal, you don’t have to see me again, which, as much as I like to see everyone here, I think you’d rather end this.’
The judge added: ‘Let’s do this and divorce them’.

Former Full House star Olsen, who runs his fashion line The Row, reportedly has a ‘closed iron contract’, which means that his estimated $ 250 million fortune is safe, no matter what. during Sarkozy’s separation.
During the hearing earlier this month, Mosberg told the judge: ‘Starting this morning, we have reached a final agreement. We just need to revise this agreement and bring it to you. ‘
Judge Sattler asked Chemtob if that was correct and she said: ‘We have been working hard and we have an agreement and we can sign it … all problems have been resolved’.
The judge, who had given both parties several postponements in the case, said: ‘I hope this is the case’.
But she added: ‘Until I see the evidence, I will hold your feet a little on the fire.’

She said: ‘I trust and believe that this is happening, but I will maintain control of the case to ensure that it is done and we will divorce them.’
The 15-minute hearing, held remotely by video, was affected by technical difficulties as Olsen was unable to get his camera to work.
She could be heard saying, ‘Guys, I need help here. Can you hear me? I’m sorry, I’m trying to do this on two computers, I don’t know what’s going on. ‘
Judge Sattler said, ‘Are you pressing the little camera in the upper right corner?’
Olsen ended up making it work after logging out and logging in.
Sarkozy waited calmly until the audience started and at one point took a sip of coffee.

The couple will have to sell their $ 13.5 million home in New York during their bitter divorce with the words “whoever loses today will win tomorrow” written on the ceiling.
DailyMail.com previously revealed that the ex-Full House star and her ex-husband own the luxurious home together.
The house features writings in French and Spanish on the ceiling, which take on a different meaning now that they have come undone.
One of the French inscriptions is a poem by Charles d’Orleans, a member of the French royal family of the 15th century, which begins with: ‘Go away, go, go, worry, care and melancholy’.
Another says: ‘All (happy) gays have the precious gift of encouraging serious people’.
The Spanish text says: ‘Whoever loses today will win tomorrow.’
The house was probably the focus of Sarkozy’s division, a banker, who is worth about $ 60 million.
They also own a large five-bedroom, 4,000-square-foot home in Bridgehampton, Long Island, worth millions.

In Olsen’s divorce petition, which she filed with the New York Supreme Court in May, she claimed that she had been effectively evicted from her rental apartment in Gramercy because Sarkozy did not renew her $ 29,000 monthly rent during the height of the outbreak. coronavirus.
Sarkozy moved his ex-wife Charlotte Bernard, their two children and their mother to the Bridgehampton home, which means that Olsen could not stay there.
In the petition, Olsen asked to continue using the Bridgehampton home, his Gramercy home and another home on East 49th Street in Manhattan.
DailyMail.com revealed that the last property mentioned is probably the most controversial.
The 8,000-square-foot block came with a private garage that allows them to get in and out without photographers taking pictures of them.
There is also a ballroom, elevator, five bedrooms, 22-foot-high ceilings, seven fireplaces, a private fountain and an artist’s studio – formerly owned by the painter David Deutsch.

The couple reportedly spent $ 3 million on renovating the house, which has a common garden and overlooks a boardwalk with a “Medici fountain” inspired by the original in Rome.
It is located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan and is close to the United Nations, one of the most sought after
The interior photos show a piano in the tastefully decorated living room, which has a wooden bookcase on the wall.
The writing on the ceiling undoubtedly had a very different meaning for the couple, especially the poem ‘Allez-vous-en, allez, allez’, which talks about sadness being away from someone.
According to an analysis of the blog Poesia Tesouros, the poem is ‘an appeal to get rid of worries, sadness and melancholy’.
The post says: ‘Anyone who feels overwhelmed by daily routine, precarious life or seemingly insurmountable circumstances can understand what the poet is saying in this poem’.

In the divorce petition, Olsen’s lawyers said the relationship between the ex-couple had “broken down irrevocably for a period of at least six months”.
Reports say Sarkozy preferred to socialize and go out on the town, while Olsen was more of a “homely person”.
Another issue was that Olsen wanted a baby, but Sarkozy had ‘closed the book on that subject’.
A source told E! News: ‘He felt like he had finished that chapter of his life and didn’t want to go back. She didn’t like the idea of not even being able to explore the possibility. ‘
Other reports claimed that there was’ simply erosion ‘and’ distant growth ‘and that Sarkozy moving his family to the Hamptons’ house was the’ last straw ‘.
Sarkozy and Olsen met in 2012 and got married in 2015, with the difference of 20 years apparently not being a barrier for them to find love.
They had already bought another house in Manhattan, which they renovated and sold for $ 6.4 million – while living in a rented five-story house next door.
Although they only rent the other house, they renovated this one too.
Since moving in, it has been used by several famous people, including ‘Doctor Who’ star David Tennant.
