Torrei later said the divorce motivated her to build her own comedy career.
Kevin Hart, the stand-up comedian and actor from Philadelphia, and Torrei Hart, a stylist and actress, met in the early 2000s, when Hart was an up-and-coming comic working the club circuit. They married in 2003 and had two children, Heaven and Hendrix. Torrei supported him during the years when he was still struggling to make his name, and the pair were together as his career began to take off in the mid-2000s.
Hart became one of the highest-earning comedians in the world. His stand-up tours, including Let Me Explain and What Now?, sold out arenas and stadiums, and he starred in successful films such as Ride Along, Central Intelligence and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Forbes later named him one of the highest-paid entertainers in the world. Much of this success arrived after the divorce, but his income began to grow during the marriage.
The couple married in 2003 and separated in 2010. Torrei filed for divorce in 2010, and the divorce was finalized in 2011 after about eight years. Hart then married Eniko Parrish in 2016, and they have had children together. Torrei has spoken publicly in later years about the divorce and Hart's career, which occasionally led to disputes.
Reports at the time did not publish precise figures, and the sum of $15 million often quoted for the divorce is likely to be an estimate based on his later earnings. A more modest settlement at the time, based on his income in 2011, seems more plausible. The couple shared custody of their children, and Hart agreed to pay child support. Torrei has said in interviews that she received a share of the earnings during the marriage.
The reported figure is large because it is often linked to Hart's later wealth. At the time of the divorce he was a rising comedian, not yet a global star. California rules on community property treat income earned during the marriage as shared, but the large earnings of the following years were not part of the marital estate, so the actual settlement was much lower than the figure suggests.
Hart founded the production company Hartbeat and a variety of businesses, including a plant-based restaurant chain, a streaming platform and a venture fund. The divorce did not affect his career, which expanded greatly in the years after 2011. Torrei continued to work in entertainment and has appeared on television.
The Hart case is a good example of how a divorce figure can be inflated by the later success of one partner. By comparison with the Pratt and Faris case, in which the husband's career surged near the end of the marriage, Hart's divorce was settled before his major earnings. It is a reminder to treat large estimates with caution.
Hart has joked about his divorce in his stand-up shows. He is one of the few comedians to have performed at the 80,000-seat Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, in 2015. He and Torrei co-parent their children. The $15 million figure is a media estimate.
