In a shocking turn of events, legendary music mogul David Geffen has announced his decision to end his marriage to his 32-year-old boyfriend, David Armstrong. According to court documents, the couple's relationship has come to an irreversible impasse.
A Long and Happy Relationship Comes to an End
For over two decades, David Geffen and David Armstrong have been a power couple in Hollywood, known for their lavish lifestyle and high-profile friendships. The 82-year-old mogul, who made his fortune as the co-founder of Asylum Records and co-owner of DreamWorks Records, had long been a private person about his personal life.
However, with the increasing visibility of celebrity couples on social media and tabloids, it was only a matter of time before Geffen's relationship with Armstrong was splashed across the headlines. The couple had reportedly met in the early 2000s and had been together ever since, with many friends and acquaintances describing them as "one of Hollywood's most stable and loving couples."
Irreconcilable Differences
Despite their seemingly idyllic relationship, sources close to the couple claim that Geffen and Armstrong have been struggling with irreconcilable differences in recent months. Insiders report that the two men had fundamentally different views on how to manage their finances and live their lives.
According to court documents obtained by our publication, Geffen cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the couple's decision to split up. The document states that Geffen is seeking a divorce from Armstrong, with both parties agreeing to share custody of their estate.
A Life of Luxury and Philanthropy
