Bernie and Slavica Ecclestone divorced

[John S]

The Eccelstone marriage ends after nearly 25 years
 
In a hearing that took less than one minute, a district judge in London today granted Slavica Ecclestone a divorce.

Neither the Croatian, a former Armani model, nor her ex-husband, F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, were present.

In court papers, Mrs Ecclestone accused the 78-year-old billionaire of "unreasonable behaviour" that had caused her "stress and anxiety".

The judge found that Mr Ecclestone "behaved in such a way that the petitioner cannot reasonably be expected to live with the respondent" and that the marriage had "broken down irretrievably",

Bernie Ecclestone'spapers said he would not dispute the divorce or the legal costs. 
 
A private hearing will be held if a financial settlement cannot be agreed.

Slavica, 50, and Bernie married in 1985 and have two daughters.

"unreasonable behaviour" that had caused her "stress and anxiety".

"behaved in such a way that the petitioner cannot reasonably be expected to live with the respondent"

Sounds like the same effect that Bernie has on everyone.

Still, it's sad to see a quarter century of marriage come to an end.

Yeah but he doesn't insist the rest of us stop wearing fashionable high heels.

Don't say that Bernie has been on the lash too.

Less than one minute? Must have been a pretty simple case then...

It sounds like both side's lawyers had everything sorted out in advance. I wonder what she's got on the old boy to make him part with his £ and not put up more of a fight.

I wonder who owns what shares.  A lot of Bernie's various shares are in her name because she was not an EU citizen and could therefore avoid a lot of taxes.

Easy SennaMan...have you seen her LEGS???   

I don't think tax had anything to do with it.

[Dare]

I feel bad for Bernie I only hope he meets
and marries another fine lady who gets
the rest of his money
