MacKenzie Scott has filed for divorce from her second husband, science teacher Dan Jewett, in a puzzling and unexplained move.
Scott, who recently removed all mention of her husband from websites outlining her charity initiatives, filed for divorce in Washington State on Monday, according the New York Times.
According to the petition, a division of property will be ‘laid out in a separation contract’ that Scott and Jewett agree upon. The contract is not public. Jewett did not contest the divorce, court records said.
MacKenzie Scott, the former wife of Jeff Bezos and one of the richest women in the world, tied the knot with Dan Jewett in 2021, although the exact date is unknown.
The union followed about 3 years after she and Amazon CEO Bezos announced their split in 2019 after 25 years of marriage and four children.
Here’s everything to know about Dan Jewett and his relationship with the author and philanthropist.

Who is Dan Jewett?
According to Dan Jewett bio on his Giving Pledge page, he has been a teacher “for the majority” of his life, and most recently taught science at a private school in Seattle.
Scott’s children attend classes at the school, and that’s where the couple met, according to the Washington Post.
