Palm Beach Blue Blood Lamont Harris, Third Wife Split — After 20 Months!

Posted by , March 28, 2012 Print

Trust-funder Lamont Harris, a distant relative of Palm Beach founder Henry Flagler, and his much younger wife of just 20 months have raised eyebrows in Palm Beach society by getting divorced so soon after their lavish Las Vegas wedding!

Palm Beach County court documents show Harris, 47, cited “irreconciliable differences” when he filed March 15 against Wellington equestrian Stephanie Covert, 24.

“No one was expecting this,” said one friend of the couple’s. “They genuinely seemed to be getting along. She is half his age but you couldn’t really tell.”

Harris and Covert already agreed to a settlement agreement that’s to pay Covert about $300,000 and change, court papers show.

That’s $15,000 per month of the marriage.

According to the settlement, Lamont gets to keep his Aston Martin but Covert gets the 2011 Range Rover.

She also gets: A $70,000-lump sum alimony payment on the day the divorce is finalized; moving expenses to California; Harris’ 50 percent ownership in a show horse named World’s Fair; and $10,000 a month from April to February 2012.

At least, he keeps his $1.7 million-house!

Harris and Covert were married on July 10, 2010 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas before several dozen Palm Beachers and family members.

Bridal magazines reported on both the nuptials and the shower at International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, where the lanterns were adorned with Lilly Pulitzer paper.

“I couldn’t have married a more amazing man,” Covert said in a 2010 newspaper account of her wedding.

Harris’ lawyer didn’t comment. Covert, who isn’t represented, couldn’t be reached.

    How embarrassing to have a gossip blog about palm beach… Guess this guy isn’t getting a pulitzer anytime soon… Keep writing about all the money you’ll never have you vapid cretin. Your site is an intellectual wasteland, enjoy your poor excuse of a life JOSE

    Jose,

    You forgot to add; Covert gets to keep the tens-of-thousands of dollars worth of plastic surgery on Harris’ dime, in the settlement. Such a disgrace… Good Riddance!

    Jealous much kid S305 (by the way sweetheart make it more obvious who you are) “tens of thousand of dollars” in plastic surgery. Yeah right. I find it hilarious that you all make it out to be such a negative thing but in real life Lamont and I are best friends and we love each other very much, he is my best friend. And Jose he didn’t pay me “300k to get rid of me” and most of your facts are wrong so you may want to go back and revise some of them. My husband (at the time) and I decided what was best for our family. I find it completely vial and rude that you would even turn my divorce into a story in the first place. TRUST ME we are not that interesting of people. So please keep your comments to yourself and have some respect and some class.
