Steven and Jodi Spolansky, the controversial millionaire couple who gained notoriety from their appearance on the hit reality TV show “Wife Swap,” have officially ended their marriage. The couple filed for divorce on August 22, 2024, in New York, bringing to a close a marriage that captured national attention for its opulent lifestyle and polarizing dynamic.
The Spolanskys first became household names in 2004 when they appeared on “Wife Swap,” a reality show that placed them in the spotlight for their extravagant lifestyle and unconventional approach to parenting.

Since their reality TV debut, the Spolanskys have remained in the public eye, often making headlines for their lavish spending and high-profile social life in New York City. Steven Spolansky, a successful entrepreneur, and Jodi, a socialite, were known for their luxurious parties, designer wardrobes, and multi-million dollar Manhattan penthouse.
Despite their public image as a power couple, sources close to the Spolanskys report that their relationship had been strained for years. The couple had reportedly been living separate lives long before the official filing, with Steven focusing on his business ventures and Jodi immersing herself in the city’s social scene. The divorce filing cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

As the Spolanskys navigate this new chapter of their lives, the divorce marks the end of an era for a couple whose marriage was once the epitome of reality TV excess. The legacy of their time on “Wife Swap” will undoubtedly continue to spark conversation, even as they move on from their high-profile union.
