Key Points:
- Billionaire media tycoon David Geffen, 83, is nearing a divorce agreement with his 33-year-old husband, former go-go dancer David Armstrong (stage name Donovan Michaels), following a bitter breakup.
- Geffen filed for divorce in Los Angeles in May last year, shortly before their two-year anniversary, and Armstrong had filed a lawsuit accusing Geffen of manipulation, drug coercion, and treating him as a trophy, which was later dismissed.
- Armstrong claimed he gave up his modeling career based on promises from Geffen to support him for life and sought community property, but Geffen has been retired for over 15 years and has no community income.
- The divorce terms remain confidential, though Geffen has stated he is providing substantial spousal support and housing Armstrong in a New York City penthouse; remaining financial disputes are set to be resolved through mediation.
- Geffen built his fortune through ventures like Geffen Records, Geffen Pictures, and DreamWorks SKG, while both parties' legal representatives have yet to comment publicly.
