Stephanie Seymour and Peter Brant Reconcile, Ending Bitter Divorce Battle
MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (CBS/AP) Former supermodel Stephanie Seymour and her billionaire husband, Peter Brant, have decided to reconcile.
Court records show Seymour and Brant withdrew divorce complaints Monday in Connecticut Superior Court.
Seymour and Brant issued a joint statement to the media saying they were reconciling and asking that their privacy be respected.
The 42-year-old Seymour became famous as a model for Victoria's Secret and "Sports Illustrated.'' She dated rocker Axl Rose and was in a pair of Guns N' Roses music videos prior to meeting Brant.
Seymour has been married to the 63-year-old Brant, a newsprint magnate, for 15 years. They have three children.
The reconciliation was announced as divorce proceedings were set to get started in Middletown on Monday.
The bitter back-and-forth between the two after the divorce was announced in 2009 played out publically in various media outlets, including Vanity Fair and the New York Times, which reported in August that the two sides "generated more than 12,000 pages of public divorce documents (with thousands more sealed), paid millions of dollars to in lawyers fees and fractured an already delicate cadre of family and friends forced to take sides."
