Davis divorces hubby No. 4
ACTRESS Geena Davis and her fourth husband, pediatric plastic surgeon Dr. Reza Jarrahy, have finally finalized their divorce after nearly four years of bitter legal proceedings.
The couple separated in late 2017 after 16 years of marriage, when Davis, 65, kicked Jarrahy, 50, out of their five-bedroom mansion in Pacific Palisades, Calif. He filed divorce papers the next year.
According to a source, Jarrahy wanted to end the marriage through mediation, dividing their assets and sharing custody of their three children: a daughter, 19, and 17-year-old twin boys.
But the source said the “Thelma & Louise” star told her husband “to lawyer up, as she took the position that they were never actually legally married and therefore there would be no division of any of their property.”
They were married in the Hamptons in 2001 by Iranian-American Jarrahy’s father, who insists he was a legal officiant under Islamic law. Davis also had a Catholic priest participate in the ceremony when they exchanged vows and rings.
Terms of the divorce settlement and custody are confidential, but the source said, “They were very unfavorable to Reza, who agreed to settle to put this behind him and be free of the nightmare Geena has caused for him.”
“Reza has had enough of her narcissism,” the source added, “so he was willing to take a bad deal just to make her go away and refocus on the kids. This has been devastating for Reza . . . Geena’s priorities since Day 1 have been to preserve her lifestyle and wealth above anything else.”
The source said that the couple has collectively spent well over $1.5 million in legal fees, which “drove Reza to the brink of bankruptcy.” The source explained, “For months . . . he had to sleep on friends’ couches, in their spare rooms and even in his car at times in order to keep up with payments to his lawyer.”
Lawyers and reps for Davis — who was previously married to Jeff Goldblum, director Renny Harlin and restaurant manager Richard Emmolo — and an attorney for Jarrahy didn’t get back to us.
