After five years of being husband and wife, David Walliams and Lara Stone have officially ended their marriage, and it reportedly took 60 seconds.
Yesterday, a judge at London's Central Family Court granted the couple a decree nisi on the grounds of Lara Stone's "unreasonable behaviour", which court papers said was "continuing".
Because of this, David Walliams and Lara Stone's union will now be officially dissolved in six weeks - a mere six months after the couple decided to split.
Back in March, 31-year-old Lara left their marital home in North London, taking 2-year-old Alfred with her and the couple's beloved dog Bert.
It's all rather sad - the pair started dating in 2009. Lara told Dutch Vogue: "We met at a party and then went on a few dates. He's wonderful. He's amazing. He makes me laugh. He's a proper gentleman. He's a bit mean but in a good way. I'm happy."
In August 2014, she told the same publication: "I'm blessed. I have a fantastic husband, a beautiful baby, a wonderful dog and super job. Life's pretty good and normal."
What went wrong, guys?
Simon Cowell might not be the first person you turn to if you wanted a shoulder to cry on but apparently the music mogul has been giving his Britain's Got Talent co-judge David Walliams advice, following his marriage break-up.
Speaking on the red carpet yesterday, Simon revealed: "I said to him, 'you're not the only person in this situation.' That's a cliche thing to say but it's true," he explained. "Don't feel too sorry for yourself."
"It's bad news and I feel bad for him but he has to carry on with his life."
But Simon thinks that there may even be a reconciliation on the cards, after news emerged that the pair have decided to try a trial separation, rather than an all-out split. "She's a nice girl… they'll work it out," he said.
Earlier this month, a source said: "[He] hopes it is a blip and that they can get the marriage back on track somehow, especially seeing as there is a child involved. He is still fiercely protective of Lara."

As you would imagine, David was reportedly "devastated" when Lara Stone left the family home with their one-year-old son Alfred and dog Bert on Tuesday night.
The couple began dating in September 2009, and got engaged in January 2010. They welcomed their first child, Alfred, in May 2013.
