A petty divorce settlement between wealthy former LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and his ex-wife has been revealed.

 

The ex-mayor of Los Angeles has completed his divorce from his ex-wife, which prevents her from using his surname and gives him their former joint Netflix account.  

 

The split between Antonio Villaraigosa, 72, and his second wife, Patricia, 52, was completed by L.A. County Superior Court last week.

 

Court documents viewed by DailyMail.com show that the former mayor will walk away from their seven-year marriage with their $3.5 million Beverly Hills home, his pension, and a 2024 Volvo XC60.

 

Villaraigosa's lawyers were worried that Patricia would use her ex's surname to start a business, so she now has to use her maiden name Govea.

 

'[Govea] shall take all necessary steps to effectuate this provision including but not limited to changing her name with the Department of Motor Vehicles, Social Security Office and Immigration related offices,' the document said.

 

'As of December 6, 2024, Respondent shall not use the name Villaraigosa for any social, marketing or business purpose.'

 

The surname in question was only created in 1997 when the then Antonio Vilar married first wife Corina Raigosa, with the pair so in love that they combined their last names.  

 

The court has given the millionaire politician custody of their Netflix account, resulting in his ex-wife having to open her own account and pay for watching movies.

 

Govea was given a $550,000 sum by her ex and an additional $100,000 for professional fees and costs.

 

In addition to her two properties in Mexico, Govea receives a 2016 Range Rover Evoque, her fashion business, as well as all of her furniture, art, clothing, and jewelry.

 

He agreed to pay her $200,000 for her real estate payment, in addition to the one-time payment and professional fees.

 

During the Great Recession, the lawmaker was a prominent Democrat in California and served as mayor of Los Angeles from 2005 to 2013.

 

According to the Los Angeles Times, Villaraigosa announced his candidacy for the 2026 California governor race last summer and the divorce agreement was a result of that announcement.

 

Following his run in 2018, this was his second attempt to run for office.

 

In the governor's race, he placed third, behind Gavin Newsom and Republican John Cox.
