Split Still On! Mary Kay & Teen Lover Vili Separating After Reconciliation Attempts
March 1 2019, Updated 5:19 p.m. ET
Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau’s twisted love story is coming to an end. After putting their legal separation on hold, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal they are moving forward with their split.
The clerk of court for King County Superior Court confirmed to RadarOnline.com that the legal separation has been transferred to private arbitration on February 14, 2019.
A private arbitration is when both parties have the opportunity to be heard by an impartial third party. The parties are bound by the arbitrator’s decision.
Fualaau, 35, filed for legal separation from Letourneau, 57, in May 2017 after 12 years of marriage.
Letourneau responded to the papers months later, disagreeing with the separation, as she “believes in reconciliation, is reconciling and reconciliation is possible.”
The original trial date was moved to September 10, 2018. It was pushed back again to February 19, 2019.
A source told People in November 2018 that the couple reconciled.
“They’re back together,” the source claimed. “They’ve worked through a lot of issues in the past year. They just needed to take a step back and realize what they mean to each other. Of course there are still issues, like all marriages, but they’re very much together.”
Letourneau was married to her first husband Steve when she engaged in a sexual relationship with her 12-year-old student Fualaau in 1996 at 34 years old. Letourneau and Steve shared four children together – Steve Jr., Mary Claire, Jacqueline and Nicholas.
Letourneau was sentenced to six months in prison with three months suspended for second-degree rape of a child.
After she was released from jail, police caught her having sex with Fualaau again in a car. She was sentenced to seven years in prison. She was released in 2004.
She gave birth to both of their daughters, Audrey and Georgia, with Fualaau while in prison.
They tied the knot in 2005.
