PETER AND STEPHANIE HAPPY AT LAST



All couples go through some rough patches, but when the husband is a billionaire publishing tycoon/polo player/art collector and the wife is a glamorous Victoria's Secret model/artist’s muse, people tend to gossip. And when private squabbles turn into a vicious public divorce, complete with allegations of drug use and domineering personalities, there’s no stopping wagging tongues. Well, all the schadenfreuders out there eagerly awaiting the outcome of yesterdays divorce trial between Peter Brant and Stephanie Seymour (What was going to happen to all the art?!) were shocked into silence when the pair walked into court hand-in-hand and told the judge, actually, they’ll be staying married, nevermind. The newly reunited couple, who have been married for 15 years and have three children, received some parting advice from Superior Court Judge Lynda Munro, who reportedly said, “After the first hearing with you, I said I thought you were going to reconcile and I'd forgotten about it… I'm a true believer in marriage. It's hard work growing old together, but it's actually sort of fun." It’s always nice to see a family—and an art collection—stay together.
