Stephanie Seymour’s change of heart
After a two-year divorce battle, Stephanie Seymour decided to try to revive her marriage.
Stephanie Seymour is learning how to make do, said William Norwich in Town & Country. For two years, the ex-supermodel, 42, was caught up in a nasty divorce battle with her husband, billionaire entrepreneur Peter Brant, 64, whom she married in 1995. After years of feeling like a trophy wife, Seymour decided she wanted out.
In court, Brant accused her of adultery and addiction to painkillers. She accused him of bullying her and her children. “It got out of control,” she says. Sickened by the rancor, she sank into depression and sometimes wouldn’t leave her room for days. “I felt I had disappointed everyone, that I was causing my children so much pain,” she says.
At some point, she decided the divorce had taken on a life of its own. “It’s fueled by people you’re paying. It’s the lawyers talking and not you, and it hurts so many people.” So to the surprise of everyone, she had a private chat with Brant and told him she didn’t want the divorce. They sent their lawyers packing. Their revived marriage still has its problems, she admits, but working on it is preferable to the alternative. “I love my husband and I always will. I’m not perfect. He’s not perfect. What we’ve done is tried to come together.”
