On April 15, local time, according to foreign media reports, Ivy Getty, the heir to the American oil tycoon, has filed for divorce from her actor husband Tobias Engel.
According to court records obtained by Page Six, Ivy Getty's attorney filed for divorce in January 2024. The case was classified as "disputed", which meant that the parties did not settle with the mediator before the woman filed for divorce. According to sources, the two had signed a prenuptial agreement before they got married to protect the Getty family's vast wealth. But when it comes to divorce, it is impossible to deal with things completely in accordance with the prenuptial agreement.
Ivy Getty's great-grandfather was American oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, one of the world's first oil tycoons. He became a millionaire at the age of 24 and has maintained his position as the richest man in the United States for 20 consecutive years. As of 2015, his family's net worth was about 5.4 billion US dollars (about 39 billion yuan).

Although the man's family wealth is not as good as that of the woman, Tobias Engel's family is also well-off. He was born in Vienna to Austrian businessman Peter Engel and to British actress Cheryl Prem.
Ivey and Tobias had a private wedding in 2020, followed by an ultra-lavish wedding of the century in November 2021. The wedding was attended by guests from all walks of life, from American politicians and business people to European royalty and aristocrats, Hollywood stars, including the governor of California, the mayor of San Francisco, the Greek princess of Olympia, fashion designers Wes Gordon and Mimi Wade, and filmmaker Christian Coppola.
The wedding was held at San Francisco City Hall and was officiated by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with renowned actress Anya Taylor-Joy as bridesmaid.
In addition, Ivey's wedding dress was personally ordered by the well-known designer John Galliano, and her veil was embroidered with walnuts in honor of her grandmother. Guitarists were also invited to the ceremony to pay tribute to Ivey's late musician father, John Gilbert Getty, who passed away in 2020.

It is not difficult to see that the love between the two began to flourish. So there must be no silence at the end.
