The furniture had just arrived, and boxes were still packed in the Silicon Valley, Calif., house Nicole Shanahan was trying to turn into a home for herself and her daughter after her 2021 split from husband Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder, when scandal hit.
Suddenly the world believed that Shanahan a 37-year-old attorney and philanthropist-had had a tryst with Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, 52, leading to Brin, 49, filing for divorce. While many pointed out that the backlash against her had a sexist slant, online trolls called her a "gold digger" and made vulgar comments about her. (Shanahan and Musk both denied the affair; WSJ told People, "We stand by our reporting.") "My career has been based on academic and intellectual credibility, and I was being shamed internationally for being a cheater," says Shanahan. "To be known because of a sexual act is one of the most humiliating things... it was utterly debilitating."
But now, a year after the whirlwind, Shanahan sits near her new garden and shares an email her attorney sent minutes ago: "You're officially divorced!" It's the end to a 17-month legal process with Brin, during which she survived a "wave of chaos"-and found a new love. "It's been a long journey," she says. "Today is a turning point of letting go. I'm happy I've arrived at a point where I can reflect on my story."
