Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate Nicole Shanahan was married for just 27 DAYS to her first husband: Investor Jeremy Kranz filed for separation because of ‘fraud’… two months after she met Google billionaire beau Sergey Brin

Vice presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan’s first marriage officially lasted just 27 days, according to her divorce agreement obtained by DailyMail.com.

The 38-year-old Bay Area attorney and entrepreneur was tapped last week by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy as his No. 2 candidate.

Before entering politics, Shanahan was known as the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin — and for a Wall Street Journal story claiming she cheated on Brin with Elon Musk, something both she and Musk have denied.

Just weeks after meeting Brin at the Wanderlust yoga festival in Lake Tahoe in July 2014, she married Bay Area investor fiance Jeremy Kranz on August 31, 2014.

Kranz filed for divorce on September 26, 2014, just 27 days later.

The website also defines fraud as “the other person lied to you or kept something from you to get you married.”

In response, Shanahan filed in December that she wanted the breakup to be considered a “dissolution” of the marriage instead, with the divorce settlement stating that Kranz “agreed to proceed with this matter as a dissolution in order to woman’s ability to continue to exist. practice law.’

In doing so, Shanahan waived the conditions set forth in their premarital agreement, including that she would receive a BMW or a Honda CRV and receive spousal support and other rights and benefits.

She would keep control of the company she started as a law student, ClearAccessIP, her Toyota Prius and a Yorkshire Terrier dog.

As part of the divorce agreement – which was dated February 26, 2015 – Shanahan also agreed to remove photos of Kranz and his family members from her Facebook account and other social media websites.

“The wife shall immediately delete all photographs of the husband and/or the husband’s family from Facebook and all other social media websites,” the divorce agreement said.

The couple eventually divorced in April 2015.

The Kennedy campaign did not dispute the brief marriage in a statement to DailyMail.com.

‘The divorce was settled by mutual agreement as a dissolution. Ms. Shanahan and her first husband met when she was 23 years old, and they were together for four years, including a two-year engagement,” said Link Lauren, senior adviser to the Kennedy campaign. “As anyone can understand, some relationships are not meant to be.”

Kranz did not respond to several attempts to reach him.

In a profile in People magazine Shanahan said she started dating Brin in 2015.

“We fell in love with Stanford, wandered around campus and talked about quantum physics,” she told the magazine in July 2023. “He showed me the areas he frequented when he was there as a graduate student – ​​and where he created Google with Larry Page!”

‘I was living in a fairy tale. It was magical. It seemed like we could really solve a lot of the world’s problems with technology then,” she said.

Brin and Shanahan quietly married in 2018 and kept their marriage quiet until 2019, after the birth of their daughter Echo.

In the 2023 People interview, she talked about how she never got used to being among the mega-rich.

“Living as the wife of a billionaire, I wasn’t the best version of myself,” she mused. “I felt conflicted every day, like I didn’t have access to the thing that made me who I am.”

“I couldn’t get access to that five-year-old girl who had to figure out how to turn a 30-year-old baseball glove into something I could take to softball with,” she said. “It was the girl who just had endless optimism and tenacity and that fight – because I’m a fighter – and I didn’t know how to shift gears. I’ve tried for years. I looked around for examples of how I could adapt to this new lifestyle.’

The couple separated in 2021, with Brin filing for divorce in June 2022 and becoming an object of public fascination in July 2022.

The Wall Street Journal reports this that Shanahan and Musk had a brief affair that led to Brin filing for divorce earlier that year and the two billionaires ending their longtime friendship.

Both Shanahan and Musk have vehemently denied ever being romantic, while the Wall Street Journal still stands by the report.

Shanahan told People that she and Musk had a conversation about autism after Echo was diagnosed as being on the spectrum, and that she was “internationally shamed for being an imposter.”

“Did Elon and I have sex, like it was a moment of passion, and then it was over? No,’ she said. ‘Did we have a romantic relationship? No. We weren’t having an affair.’

It’s unclear exactly how much Shanahan took away from the split, as the couple reportedly owned a massive Malibu estate — previously owned by singer Pink — a penthouse in Manhattan, multiple properties in Silicon Valley. and a 240-foot superyacht called Dragonfly.

Shanahan met Jacob Strumwasser at Burning Man in the summer of 2022 and held a ‘love ceremony’ in May

In the midst of her divorce from Brin and as Google search results with Shanahan’s name continued to show her romantically linked to Musk, the Bay Area attorney attended Burning Man and met her current partner, Jacob Strumwasser, through a friend.

“It seems like we were living parallel surfing lives, and then we met at Burning Man, the driest place on earth, and talked about how much we missed surfing,” she told People in July. ‘I feel really happy, he’s beautiful.’

In May, they held a “love ceremony” instead of a traditional wedding.

‘There is a beach that both he and I have a strong bond with, where we had surfed independently many times before we met and then surfed together on an early date,” she said. “We fell in love with surfing there and had a love blessing ceremony with the water we got from that beach.” a

They then went to her property in Southern California.

“It was spontaneous with some friends,” she told People. “We didn’t know who was going to end up there, but we had a handful of friends and we had a friend who believes in the magic of water and who brought us a water blessing. It was beautiful.’
