𝗕𝗘𝗚𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗧 Givens arrived with her mother and publicist to her first date with Mike Tyson. 11-months later, the pair were married. Tyson was 22 years old. According to Tyson, their wedding was hastily arranged because Givens, a law graduate, then 24, had announced that she was pregnant. Tyson writes that Givens' mother Ruth, who he referred to as 'Ruthless,' immediately set about finding the pair a suitable mansion to settle into, at Tyson's expense. During a close friend's funeral, Tyson received a phone call from his accountant, who told him Givens and her mother were in his office, demanding that he release $5 million so that they could purchase a New Jersey estate. Against his accountant's advice, he gave the money, and another $10 million soon after, which he placed into a separate account for Givens and her mother. Tyson and Givens' divorce was finalized on Valentine's Day 1989. They had never signed a prenuptial agreement and she received a reported settlement of more than $10 million.
