'Baylen Out Loud' Star Baylen Dupree Engaged to Boyfriend Colin Dooley
Former Mayor of Los Angeles Antonio Villaraigosa reached a settlement with his ex-wife, Patricia Villaraigosa, where he gets to keep a $3 million Beverly Hills mansion and his Netflix account and she is barred from using his famed last name, In Touch can exclusively report.
In Touch obtained the divorce settlement signed by Antonio, 72, and Patricia earlier this month.
The exes agreed that irreconcilable differences have arisen and caused a breakdown in their marriage and that there is no possibility of saving the marriage through counseling or any other means.
Per their deal, Antonio agreed to pay Patricia a one-time lump sum of $550,000. Patricia agreed to waive any right to spousal support in exchange.
"[Antonio] and [Patricia] have carefully bargained for the termination of spousal support as provided herein, and the provisions of this paragraph are intended by Petitioner and Respondent to comply with the requirements of the law," the deal read.
In addition, Patricia will be reimbursed an additional $200,000 that she paid to a real estate company.
"Said $200,000 shall be awarded/confirmed to [Patricia] as her sole and separate property, with the right of immediate sole possession, along with any and all encumbrances thereon and all obligations, debts, and liabilities related thereto," the settlement read.
The deal said Antonio will walk away with several bank and retirement accounts, including several pension plans. The politician was also awarded a $3.5 million home in Beverly Hills, California, a 2024 Volvo, all furniture and artwork in his possession, including jewelry and all money earned following the split.
The deal also stated Antonio will keep "any and all streaming accounts in [Antonio's] name including but not limited to his Netflix account." Patricia will keep several bank accounts, two properties in Mexico, a 2016 Range Rover, all furniture and artwork in her possession and all earnings post-separation.
Antonio also agreed to transfer Patricia her AT&T phone number and Patricia agreed to pay the bill starting December 2024.
The agreement said Patricia will restore her last name to Govea.
Patricia cannot use Antonio's last name and must 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. As of December 6, 2024, [Patricia] shall not use the name 'Villaraigosa' for any social, marketing or business purpose."
As In Touch previously reported, Antonio first filed for divorce in early 2022.
He listed the date of marriage as August 20, 2016, and the date of separation as June 1, 2018. Despite the separation date, Antonio and Patricia was seen in photos on social media in 2021 celebrating an anniversary. Antonio and Patricia were also spotted at public events following Antonio filing for divorce.
The case was dismissed in March 2023, and the two remained married. Antonio went back to court in January 2024 and filed a second petition for divorce.
He listed the date of separation as January 10, 2024. He asked that neither party be awarded spousal support. In response, Patricia asked that the court shut down Antonio's request.
She pleaded for spousal support and funds to cover her legal fees in the case. Patricia admitted to executing a postmarital agreement with Antonio in 2023 but did not want it enforced.
She told the court, "I am contesting the PMA on several grounds, including the fact that Antonio breached the PMA. Additionally, I did not execute the PMA freely and voluntarily," her filing said. "I am the out-spouse and I have minimal knowledge of our financial circumstances. During our marriage, Antonio controlled our finances, and he was our sole financial provider," she said. In June 2024, Patricia pleaded for temporary support from the court.
She claimed the politician had cut off access to their joint credit card. She added, "Antonio earns a very substantial income from his services as a corporate consultant, from his investments, and from his public pension. Antonio has a substantial net worth, and I believe he earned most of his wealth during our marriage."
Patricia argued she helped Antonio become as successful as he is.
She wrote, "Within several weeks of our marriage in August of 2016, Antonio's rigorous campaign for governor went into full swing. Between 2016 and 2018, I helped Antonio with his campaign for governor. Antonio's campaign for governor was demanding and exhausting, and it lasted for years. Antonio had a tight and rigorous campaign schedule that involved my active participation."
Antonio served as mayor of Los Angeles from 2005 to 2013.
Last year, he announced he was running for California governor in 2026.
