After only four years
Automatically saved draft
It's the romantic story of an Austrian and a beautiful billionaire - and it doesn't have a happy ending. In December 2020, Tobias "Toby" Engel and Ivy Getty tied the knot in a private wedding. But after less than four years, the marriage between the Vienna native and the great-granddaughter of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty has already broken up again.
According to the New York Post, the society girl has filed for divorce.
Engel is the son of Austrian businessman Peter Engel and English actress Cheryl Prime. According to insiders, Tobias describes himself as an entrepreneur and budding film director.
However, he met the beautiful Ivy as a photographer at Paris Fashion Week. Love at first sight led to a marriage proposal from Engel during a sunset on Capri.
Dream wedding in San Francisco
After a small, intimate wedding (due to COVID regulations), the big celebration took place eleven months later in November 2021 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
The ceremony was performed by Nancy Pelosi, the legendary former Speaker of the US House of Representatives. Ivy Getty's bridesmaid was her best friend, Hollywood star Anya Taylor-Joy ("Ladies Gambit").
Guests also included California Governor Gavin Newsom and Princess Olympia of Greece. The music was provided by the band Earth, Wind & Fire, with DJ Mark Ronson later taking over.
Ivy's father passed away shortly before the wedding
Tragically, Ivy's father John Gilbert Getty had died of a drug overdose just weeks earlier at the age of 52.
According to a family friend, groom Toby had read out an ode to his wife-to-be before the wedding: "He said: 'I am your protector and your slave'. It came from the heart. These aren't just two rich kids who met in Ibiza last year."
All photos deleted
It is not known why the marriage broke down. In January, Ivy deleted all of her husband's photos from her Instagram profile, and Engel even deactivated his (@engel.world) in the meantime.
Then, according to "Page Six", the 29-year-old filed divorce papers, which Engel is contesting according to court documents. A family insider is quoted as saying: "Of course, as a member of the Getty family, Ivy insisted on a pre-nuptial agreement before saying yes."
