MacKenzie Scott Files for Divorce from Second Husband

Less than two years after marrying, MacKenzie Scott and her husband, Dan Jewett, a former science teacher, have decided to part ways.

After divorcing Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2019, Scott tied the knot with Seattle-based science teacher Dan Jewett last year. However, their marriage has now come to an end.

Ms. Scott filed a petition for divorce in the King County Superior Court in Washington State on Monday, September 26, 2022, according to a copy of the filing.

In 2021, McKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett announced their marriage through a message on their webpage for the Giving Pledge, a philanthropic organization which encourages the world’s richest people to give away a majority of their wealth to charitable causes.

Scott has been known for giving away billions of dollars as part of her plan to donate a majority of her fortune.

“I am married to one of the most generous and kind people I know — and joining her in a commitment to pass on an enormous financial wealth to serve others,” Jewett wrote in his message on Giving Pledge in 2021. “I look forward to the growth and learning I have ahead as a part of this undertaking with MacKenzie.”

However, Jewett’s message appears to have been removed from the Giving Pledge site, and his name was recently edited out of a Medium post Ms. Scott had written last year about their gifts, as reported by The Times on Wednesday, September 28.

Additionally, Scott also removed Jewett from her author bio on Amazon, according to the NYT.
