Who is Susanne Gregard? 

Dodi only actually tied the knot once, to model Susanne in 1986.

Their marriage was short-lived and they divorced the following year.

They divorced in August 1987 after eight months of being husband and wife.

According to People, their divorce was an amicable one.

Susanne has spoken about her ex-husband in a positive light in previous interviews. 

She told People: “He was so romantic and thoughtful. And he didn’t take things too seriously. 

“Once, during a candlelit dinner, he had arranged, the table we were sitting at collapsed, and the whole turkey fell to the floor.

"We laughed so hard. That was what I loved about him.”

Sussane worked as an actress, as well as a model, and played a small role in the American rom-com Key Exchange in 1985.

The multimillionaire booked her as a model at Harrods so she would be unable to refuse. 

According to Vanity Fair, Dodi proposed to Susanne on New Year’s Eve in 1986. 

The pair did not have any children together. 

Susanne said one reason she and Dodi parted ways was because they came from different worlds.

In the same interview with People, she said: “We were always surrounded by bodyguards.

“One day when I was sick, I asked him to get me some medicine and food.

"He came back with a big grin on his face.

"He was [excited because he was] 31 years old and it was the first time he had been to a grocery.”
