EXCLUSIVE: Back On The Mega-Yacht! David Geffen & Ex-Husband Donovan Michaels REKINDLE Romance After Messy $9.7B Legal Battle!
Shut down the group chat and secure your life jackets, because Hollywood’s most chaotic high-seas relationship just took the wildest turn yet!
Media Take Out can confirm that 83-year-old entertainment mogul David Geffen and his 33-year-old ex-husband, former model Donovan Michaels, are officially back together! Just one year after a scorched-earth divorce battle filled with explosive court filings, the estranged pair was spotted cozying up aboard Geffen’s infamous $400 million, 454-foot superyacht, Rising Sun.
From Explosive Lawsuits To High-Seas Romance
Talk about a plot twist that nobody in Hollywood saw coming! Just last summer, Donovan was taking his billionaire ex to court, filing a explosive breach-of-contract lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The filings read like a dark Hollywood script, with Donovan accusing Geffen of picking him off SeekingArrangements.com and subjecting him to wild lifestyle demands, dental procedures, and laser hair removal. Donovan also alleged that when he decided to get sober and work a 12-Step program, Geffen ghosted him because he “wanted control and submission.” Geffen’s legal team called the suit “pathetic,” but the battle was quietly settled behind closed doors in November 2025 before their divorce was finalized in April.
Fast forward to now, and all of that courtroom drama seems to have floated right out to sea.
The High-Seas Reunion
Rumors of a reunion started swirling over the summer when the duo was spotted together on Rising Sun,but industry insiders confirm that their October outing proved the spark is officially back.
“The heart wants what the heart wants,” an insider close to the situation revealed. Word on the dock is that the wild party lifestyle aboard the mega-yacht is back in full swing, with sources joking that any past sobriety pledges have taken a backseat to luxury living with the Hollywood elite.
