Mackenzie Scott has reportedly filed for divorce from her second husband, Dan Jewett. The couple wed last year.

The billionaire philanthropist, who was previously married to Jeff Bezos, filed a petition for divorce in Washington State's King County Superior Court on Monday, the New York Times reported. 

The news of the couple’s split comes just a year after Scott and Jewett tied the knot in California.

Representatives for Scott and Jewett did not immediately respond to FOX Business' request for comment.

A former student of Jewett spoke with People magazine about the school teacher’s character.

"He was involved, energetic, passionate, friendly, gregarious in a really earnest way," Josh Verlin told the outlet. "He so clearly loved what he was doing, loved teaching and loved science, and enjoyed working with the students ... He was very engaging, and you wanted to be in his class."
