Amy Winehouse may be looking healthy and youthful after returning to London after eight months on St Lucia on Monday, but estranged husband Blake Fielder Civil filed for divorce yesterday.
According to British law, she'll receive the decree nisi (which is a decree pronouncing a divorce) today.
Once it's issued, Amy will have to wait six weeks before the divorce is finalized. During which time anyone is entitled to object.
"It's a formal part of the divorce process ahead of the decree absolute," a source said. "It's just a coincidence that she's here for other reasons at the same time."
Blake's reason for divorce? Adultery.
But wait. Didn't Blake get a jumpoff pregnant?
They were married for 26 months.
Update:
The 2-year marriage of Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil came to a formal end in a functional first floor courtroom in London Thursday. Blake, 27, was granted the divorce from Amy, 25, in a hearing that lasted all of 75 seconds, as the singer admitted adultery, court papers show.
Neither of them were at Court Three of the High Court Family Division in London’s Holborn area to hear District Judge Michael Segal grant the “quickie” divorce.
In a question-and-answer format, the court papers show that it was Blake who filed for the split. Asked if he finds it “intolerable” to live with Amy, he replies, “Yes.” And when asked to “state briefly your reasons for saying that the respondent has committed the adultery alleged,” he answers, “The Respondent confessed the adultery to me in April 2008.”
The papers show they have not lived in the same household since that date.
In her response, Amy is asked if she admitted “the adultery alleged in the petition.” She answers a simple “yes.” She adds that she is not intending to defend the case.
Unless a dispute arises, the divorce will become final in six weeks.
