Kathy Griffin Files for Divorce From Husband Randy Bick Shortly Before Fourth Wedding Anniversary

Shortly before Kathy Griffin and her tour manager husband Randy Bick were set to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary, Griffin has filed for divorce.

In court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday night, the comedian lists the pair’s date of separation as Dec. 22 and cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

In the petition for dissolution of their marriage, Griffin asks that the court enforce their “premarital agreement” from 2019 and requests that the court’s ability to award spousal support to both parties be terminated.

On Friday, after news of the divorce broke, Griffin posted a message to Instagram, writing, “Well
sh*t. This sucks”

Griffin and Bick were married in the early hours on Jan. 1, 2020, in what the pair, who had been dating since 2011, called a “surprise” wedding.

“The entire ceremony was just under 14 minutes,” Griffin posted on social media at the time. “We promised you atypical. We are in love and we cannot stop laughing.”

For the wedding, officiated by Lily Tomlin, Griffin wore a short-sleeved white gown with a black ribbon around the waist, which, she wrote on social media, she had worn on her and Bick’s first date in 2011, and he chose that dress for the ceremony.

“I asked Randy to pick out which ever one of my long dresses was his favorite for any reason,” she wrote on Twitter (now known as X). “He picked out this dress and showed me this photo [of their first date]. Romance is hotttt again.”

Griffin was previously married to Matt Moline from 2001-2006, and he appeared on her reality show, My Life on the D-List.

The comedian famously found herself embroiled in controversy and investigated by the Secret Service after she posed for a photo holding a bloody head that resembled that of then-President Donald Trump.

In recent years, she’s opened up about her battles with lung cancer and drug addiction, with the latter leading to a suicide attempt.

This June, she performed a sold-out show in Las Vegas, her first in five years.

“You guys, I’m so f ing grateful to this audience. I still can’t get over it. My first show in five long years!” she wrote on a video she posted to social media, which showed her taking the stage to enthusiastic applause. “I don’t have an agent, manager or publicist anymore. My husband is my tour manager and I negotiated the deal myself. No deal for a special or livestream of it, but the show was sold out because real, live people actually showed up! After an international political scandal and surviving lung cancer, I finally felt like I was home.”
