The actress Geena Davis had her divorce finalized with her estranged husband, Reza Jarrahy, on Wednesday on 3 December after 4 years of filing.
The couple was together married for 16 years and shares three children together. However, in 2018, her surgeon-husband requested joint legal and physical custody of their children in court documents and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their divorce. Jarrahy also requested the court’s removal of Davis’s ability to receive support and asked for spousal support according to ET. The couple separated on 15 November 2017 as per the documents.
Geena Davis Married Life
Geena Davis had a five-year-long nasty battle over the validity of her fourth marriage with Dr. Plastic surgeon Reza Jarrahy. She claimed that they were never actually married as they went through the motions of having a wedding, but never actually filed the proper paperwork to become a husband and wife in the eyes of the government. When her fourth husband filed for divorce, the actress said she didn’t want a divorce as they were never married in the first place.
The actress also said that her ex-husband Reza should have known that having a marriage license is a requirement for being married and said, “Reza is one of the most experienced and well-regarded craniofacial surgeons in Southern California, licensed himself, with over 10 years of post-graduate education. I think it is unreasonable for him to claim that he did not know that a marriage license is a requirement of marriage.”
When Reza pointed out that their marriage was even officiated by a Catholic Priest, she argued saying Father Smith made it clear that he would not be able to officiate or perform a binding Catholic ceremony because neither of them was catholic and that he would not be able to say, ‘I now pronounce you husband and wife.’
While the truth about her fourth marriage comes out during her divorce process, Jarrahy’s attorney made Davis confess about her lying in an interview with Oprah Winfrey about her marriage with Reza.
The Beetlejuice actress was first married to Richard Emmolo in 1981 whom she met in 1977. Richard is a restaurant owner of New York and co-owns a trendy downtown Manhattan restaurant Barolo. The couple divorced in 1984.

As per some sources, the couple is said to have spent $1.5 million on their divorce proceedings that took almost 5 years.
