After meeting in March 1986, she married boxer Mike Tyson on February 7, 1988. Tyson was then estimated to have $50 million, and they did not have a prenuptial agreement. In October 1988, Givens filed for divorce, citing spousal abuse and was granted a temporary restraining order. Tyson sought an annulment, accusing her of stealing millions of dollars and manipulating the public. She responded by filing a $125 million libel suit for defamation. Their divorce was finalized on Valentine's Day in 1989. She was the spokesperson for the National Domestic Violence Hotline for several years.
