Ghislaine Maxwell's husband has reportedly ended their marriage during a phone call to her jail, according to Mail on Sunday.
It emerged in court proceedings last year that socialite Maxwell - who was convicted of sex trafficking charges last week - was married.
But while her husband's identity was not revealed in the trial, he is widely reported to be Scott Borgerson, a tech millionaire.
The 46-year-old has now ended their marriage, per The Times.
A friend of 60-year-old Maxwell told the newspaper Borgerson said he was "seeing someone else".
They were quoted as saying: "There was a dramatic phone call between them, while she was in jail in solitary confinement. It became confrontational. Scott told her he had moved on and was seeing someone else."
Borgerson was recently spotted with another woman which sparked reports he may have a new girlfriend.
Borgerson, who until recently ran a maritime analytics company, has denied dating Maxwell and claimed they were just old friends.
In 2020, Maxwell filed court papers indicating all of her assets had been transferred into a trust under Borgerson's control.
In the same year, her husband asked a judge to free Maxwell while she was awaiting trial, calling her a "wonderful and loving person".
"I have never witnessed anything close to inappropriate with Ghislaine," her spouse wrote.
Maxwell, who was labeled "dangerous" by the prosecution, faces the rest of her life in jail for helping to entice vulnerable teenagers to Epstein's various properties for him to sexually abuse between 1994 and 2004.
She was found guilty of five federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three related counts of conspiracy.
She was acquitted on the charge of enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, per BBC News.
It comes as Maxwell's family and attorney said that they plan to appeal her conviction, saying they believe she is innocent.
In a statement, Maxwell's brother Kevin said: "We believe firmly in our sister’s innocence – we are very disappointed with the verdict. We have already started the appeal tonight and we believe that she will ultimately be vindicated."
