Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, recently shared an unexpected detail about his relationship with his ex-wife, Renee.
Despite their separation in 2017, the two have never gone through a formal divorce.
In a candid interview on the Sage Steele podcast, Dave revealed that he still shares a bank account with Renee, allowing her full access to his wealth whenever she wants.
A Relationship Built on Trust
Dave, who is reportedly worth $250 million, opened up about his relationship with Renee, emphasizing the role she played in his success.
They met when Barstool was just starting, and Renee supported him through the early struggles.
According to Dave, she’s entitled to enjoy the rewards of his hard work, explaining that she has had access to his finances for years.
He expressed no worries about her abusing the privilege, stating that she is “far more frugal” than he is.
He also described her as his “best friend” and reflected on their amicable separation, noting that there was no major falling out—just a realization that their marriage no longer worked.
Viral Reaction and Public Praise
A clip from Dave’s podcast interview went viral on TikTok, where his comments about Renee were met with widespread admiration.
Many praised his loyalty and respect for her, with one user calling him the “best ex-husband ever.”
Others highlighted his mature and respectful approach to their relationship, despite their divorce.
Dave’s attitude towards Renee even earned him newfound respect from some who were initially critical of him.
A few commenters praised his ability to maintain a strong, respectful bond with someone who had been a major part of his life.
Legal Matters and Financial Arrangement
Although Dave and Renee have been legally separated for several years, their divorce petition was rejected by a Massachusetts judge last year.
The judge found their financial agreement to be inequitable, even though Renee didn’t want half of Dave’s wealth.
The couple had requested to maintain their joint bank account, which would be solely funded by Dave for Renee’s expenses.
Additionally, Dave pledged to continue covering her medical and healthcare costs.
However, the judge deemed this arrangement “unacceptable,” though both parties seemed content with how they managed their finances without legal intervention.
Moving On
Since their split, Dave has had other relationships, including a three-year romance with model Silvana Mojica, which ended in November 2023.
He explained that he couldn’t give her what she deserved.
Most recently, Dave has been linked to 25-year-old Camryn D’Aloia, and the two were seen together at a Celtics game.
Meanwhile, Renee has moved on as well, having been in a relationship with a new partner since 2021.
What’s Next for Dave and Renee?
While it’s unclear where things will go for Dave and Renee moving forward, their unique situation continues to spark conversation.
Their story serves as a powerful reminder of mutual respect and understanding, even after a separation.
