Wealthy mum says husband 'left for another woman in lockdown and didn't want custody of kids'

A wealthy lawyer has admitted she was stunned when her financier husband of 20 years left her for another woman a week into lockdown and allegedly didn't want custody of the kids.

Flobelle 'Belle' Fairbanks Burden, 54, a well-heeled socialite from New York, US, claims Henry Davis wanted to end their well-moneyed marriage during Covid lockdown at their $4.7million Martha's Vineyard home in spring 2020.

The rich mum, a descendant of railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, had sheltered from Covid with her husband and their two young kids, then 15 and 12, before suddenly having to adapt to single parent life, according to a piece she penned for the New York Times.
