Billionaire David Geffen and Donovan Michaels have rekindled their relationship months after a bitter divorce.

Billionaire media mogul David Geffen, 83, and his ex-husband Donovan Michaels, 33, have reportedly rekindled their relationship. Sources told Page Six that the two appeared 'very much back together' during an October outing aboard Geffen's 454-foot superyacht Rising Sun. Their apparent reconciliation comes as a surprise to industry observers.

The pair's reunion marks a dramatic reversal from their bitter split. Their divorce was finalised in April, less than two years after they married. Michaels, a former go-go dancer also known as David Armstrong, had filed a lawsuit against Geffen in July 2025, accusing the billionaire of sexual, emotional and financial exploitation. According to the complaint, the pair first met in 2016 through SeekingArrangements.com, a website connecting people seeking financially beneficial relationships. The Daily Mail reported that Geffen allegedly paid Michaels £10,000 for sex during their first encounter before their arrangement developed into a romantic relationship.

Michaels' lawsuit alleged that Geffen used 'a toxic mix of seduction, control, promises of love, and lavish displays of wealth to entrap' him in 'a cycle of dependency, submission, and humiliation.' One insider commented: 'The heart wants what the heart wants.'
