Mike Tyson & Robin Givens — 1 Year

It is sad when a much-celebrated marriage comes to an end. But if the couple gets separated due to violence, we should be happy for the person getting out of that abusive relationship. Robin Givens and Mike Tyson married each other on February 7, 1988. A series of events led to their divorce, starting with Robin suffering a miscarriage shortly after the wedding. The medical degree holder also accused boxer Mike Tyson of abuse.

Mike claimed that Robin was only after money. During their marriage, Givens used the money of Tyson’s brokerage account to buy a $4.3 million mansion in New Jersey. At that time, Tyson’s net worth was about $50 million. They didn’t have a prenuptial agreement. Robin then filed for divorce in October 1988 citing spousal abuse. Mike sought an annulment so that his net worth then would not have to be divided between them. A year after, just seven days after the anniversary of their marriage, they were officially separated.
