Hey there, friends. You won't believe this one. Geena Davis and her fourth husband, Dr. Reza Jarrahy, are reportedly calling it quits after 17 years together. But here’s the twist: Geena claims they might not have even been legally married in the first place! TMZ broke the story, saying that Reza filed for divorce on May 8, citing irreconcilable differences. Now, Geena is throwing a curveball, asking the court to dismiss the divorce petition because, well, they may never have been officially hitched.
Let me break it down for you. According to TMZ, Geena is arguing that there was a major issue during their New York City wedding ceremony back in 2001. Apparently, the marriage license was never officially filed with the court clerk. If that’s true, it means they were never legally married, which could throw a wrench into the entire divorce process. Imagine that—thinking you're married for almost two decades, only to find out you weren’t. Talk about a plot twist!

What’s the Legal Situation?
Reza, who might not even be Geena's legal husband, claims that they've been separated since November 2017. He filed the divorce papers, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. TMZ reports that Reza disagrees with Geena’s claims, maintaining that their marriage has always been valid. If the court sides with Reza, this would mark Geena's fourth divorce. But if Geena's right, then none of this matters because their marriage would never have existed in the eyes of the law.
The Kids in the Middle
Geena and Reza share three children together—a daughter and twin boys. Reza is asking for joint legal and physical custody of the kids and is also seeking spousal support from Geena. On the flip side, he’s requesting the judge deny any spousal support Geena might seek. However, if Geena’s claims are true, then none of this will matter. Instead, their three children would be considered "illegitimate" in the eyes of the law. That’s a tough pill for any parent to swallow.
A Look Back at Their Relationship
Geena met Reza back in 2001 when she was 42 and he was just 27. They tied the knot later that year, or so they thought. In a 2006 interview with GH, Geena opened up about her past relationships, explaining that she often found herself in partnerships where everything revolved around the other person. “I’d find my worth through sacrificing everything for his sake,” she said. “But I finally managed to change myself, and that changed what seemed attractive to me. Reza is so different from the kind of men I used to be with.”
She added, “A relationship with him seemed a little far-fetched at first. I remember thinking, ‘This guy is cute—and ridiculously young.’ But as we spent more time together, the age difference didn’t seem to matter. It didn’t feel like we were from different generations, and now we barely notice it at all.”

Fast forward to today, and it seems like maybe that age gap finally caught up with them. Geena is now 62, and Reza is 47. Whatever the reason, our hearts go out to them during this challenging time.
