There's no mention of a prenuptial agreement in the petition, but we can assume there is one with the massive fortune from Murdoch

In the filing, the supermodel says the famous former couple was married on March 4, 2016, and the date of their breakup is "TBD."

The “TBD” for date of separation is important because it could affect their financial settlement.
