Data about Elle Macpherson and Gilles Bensimon from Divorce Records

After four years of marriage, Macpherson filed for divorce in 1989 due to irreconcilable differences. She said that things were not already favorable to both of them at the time since they have found other priorities in their careers and personal lives as well.

Macpherson was only 21 years old while Bensimon was 41 when they got married which may indicate that the supermodel may not still be mature enough to enter a serious relationship. In public divorce records, there were speculations that Macpherson married the Creative Manager to get a solid foothold in the modeling industry. When she could already manage on her own, it was time to let Bensimon go.

However, Macpherson did refute public allegations and stated that four years were very fruitful to both of them although they did not have any children. She said that the initial stages of their relationship were good but things just started to get stagnant over time. Bensimon was constantly out of the house and shooting other gorgeous models while Macpherson was also frequently loaded with her sexy cover shoot schedules. Time was definitely a factor that they missed which may explain why they never even had one kid.
