The oddball political marriage of Richard Nixon's grandson to a much-younger billionaire grocery heiress is ending after three years.
Andrea Catsimatidis filed for divorce on Wednesday from Christopher Nixon Cox in Manhattan family court.
It's unknown what caused the break up, which began with a lavish 2011 ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. Some of New York's biggest political names - including Hillary Clinton and Henry Kissinger - were in attendance.
Nixon Cox is the only son of Richard Nixon's daughter Tricia Nixon and Edward Cox, the longtime New York Republican State Committee.
Nixon Cox met Catsimatidis at her exclusive all-girls New York high school when he was campaigning for John McCain in 2008. She was just 17 at the time.

The divorce is uncontested so the case is likely to be resolved quickly. There is no word on what sort of financial settlement is involved, according to the New York Post.
Catsimatidis is the daughter of John Catsimatidis, the owner of the Gristedes grocery chain and a former New York City Republican mayoral candidate. His fortunate is estimated at $3.1billion.
