Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy have reportedly finalized their divorce. According to Us Weekly, a judge signed off on the designer, 34, and 51-year-old French banker’s “settlement agreement” on Monday and “their divorce has been granted.” A source previously revealed to the outlet that Ashley Olsen’s twin sister had an “ironclad prenup.”

All issues are resolved.”
According to court records obtained by People magazine, the Full House alum officially filed for divorce from Olivier, who is former French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s brother, last May, the day New York City courts reopened following coronavirus closures. Per TMZ , Mary-Kate signed a petition for divorce on April 17, but due to the pandemic, New York courts were not accepting divorce filings, except in cases of emergencies. She then reportedly requested an emergency order to file for divorce on May 13, but it was denied.

The pair tied the knot in an intimate New York wedding back in 2015. Olivier has two children, son Julien and daughter Margot, from his previous marriage to Charlotte Bernard. In 2017, Mary-Kate, who is known for being notoriously private, opened up about married life with Olivier. “I have a husband, two step-kids and a life; I have to go home and cook dinner,” she told Net-a-Porter’s The Edit. “I ride horses on the weekends. You find the thing that helps you relax and if you don’t have it, you have to look for it. Or you get burned out and then you’re not productive.”
