The couple quietly wed in March of 2021.
Reports first surfaced of a potential split when his name suddenly disappeared from her philanthropic pledges on Giving Pledge, a site where billionaires promise to give away half of their fortune before they die.
He is also no longer mentioned in her Amazon bio.
The news comes three years after she and Jeff Bezos announced their split after 25 years of marriage. Following their divorce, she became the 12th richest person in the world after his assets were split in half. She went on to give away more than $12 billion to nonprofits, and married an instructor at the school attended by her children.
