Jeff Gordon and Brooke Sealey's divorce

Everything was going well but soon after being married for about eight years, Brooke Sealey filed a divorce against her husband claiming the marriage to be "irretrievably broken as a result of the husband's marital misconduct." 

The divorce process went through a very ugly phase for 16 months and was finalized on 13 June 2003. This divorce is still taken as one of the most gruesome and expensive divorces in the history of sports. 

Brooke Sealey demanded an airplane, periodic use of the couple’s boats, and two cars as alimony. After multiple lawsuits, the settlement eventually came to be $15.3 million which is one of the most expensive divorces in sports history.

In regard to their split, Jeff Gordon stated;

Brooke and I had a high-profile relationship and we had to. We got a lot of attention and we had to adjust our lives and what we did and how we went about it because of that.

After seven years of their divorce,  Brooke gave birth to a child with James Dixon II, but she gave him Jeff Gordon’s last name.
