Former ‘RHONY’ star Jules Wainstein’s divorce from Michael finalized

A four-year-long divorce battle has ended.

Former “Real Housewives of New York City” star Julianne “Jules” Wainstein, 39, and her estranged husband, Michael Wainstein, finalized their divorce on Monday, Page Six has confirmed.

“My client is happy to close this chapter of his life and is looking forward to moving on,” Michael’s attorney, Morghan Richardson, told Page Six in a statement on Tuesday.

Jules’ attorney didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

The former couple will, however, still be battling out child custody issues in Florida.

Earlier this year, Jules was arrested in Boca Raton, Fla., after allegedly punching Michael in the face in front of their children, son Jagger and daughter Rio. An insider told Page Six at the time that Jules may have been intoxicated during the incident, in which she licked Michael’s car window and struck the vehicle with a baseball bat.

Following that altercation, Michael requested Jules submit to drug testing.

Michael first filed for divorce from Jules in May 2016, and the two have been locked in various stages of legal wrangling ever since.

The Modern Alkeme founder claimed Michael cheated on her, though he vehemently denied those charges. Their bitter legal battle has since included unpaid child support and police involvement.

Jules starred on Season 8 of Bravo’s “RHONY,” which aired in 2016.
