Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate Nicole Shanahan was married for just 27 ... trends now
Vice presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan's first marriage officially lasted just 27 days according to her divorce settlement agreement obtained by DailyMail.com.
The 38-year-old Bay Area lawyer and entrepreneur was tapped by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy last week to be his No. 2 on the ticket.
Prior to entering politics, Shanahan was known for being the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin - and for a Wall Street Journal story that alleged she cheated on Brin with Elon Musk, something both she and Musk have denied.
Several weeks after meeting Brin in July 2014 at the Wanderlust yoga festival in Lake Tahoe, she tied the knot with fiancé Bay Area investor Jeremy Kranz on August 31, 2014.
Kranz filed for separation on September 26, 2014 - just 27 days later.

Jeremy Kranz separated from Nicole Shanahan after just 27 days of marriage and filed a 'Petition for Nullity' - an annulment in California legalese - alleging that 'fraud' had occurred in the relationship

Shanahan's first husband initially filed a 'Petition for Nullity' - an annulment in California legalese - alleging that 'fraud' had occurred in the relationship.
While the documents do not disclose what motivated Kranz's decision to end the relationship in this manner, in California fraud 'must be very serious and be about something that goes to the heart of your marriage,' a California courts website explained.
The website also defines fraud as, 'the other person lied to you or kept something from you in order to get you to marry them.'
That December in response, Shanahan filed that she wanted the break-up to be considered a 'Dissolution' of the marriage instead, with the divorce settlement stating that Kranz 'agreed to allow this matter proceed as a Dissolution in order to preserve Wife's ability to practice law.'
In doing so, Shanahan waived terms laid out in their premarital agreement including that she would receive either a BMW or Honda CRV and receive spousal support and other rights and benefits.
She would keep control of the company she started as a law student, ClearAccessIP, her Toyota Prius and a Yorkshire Terrier dog.
As part of the divorce agreement - which was dated February 26, 2015 - Shanahan also agreed to scrub pictures of Kranz and his family members from her Facebook account and other social media websites.
'Wife shall forthwith remove all pictures of Husband and/or Husband's family from Facebook and all other social media websites,' the divorce agreement said.
The couple ultimately divorced in April 2015.
The Kennedy campaign did not dispute the short marriage in a statement to DailyMail.com.
'The divorce settled in mutual agreement as a dissolution. Ms. Shanahan and her first husband met when she was 23 years old, and they were together for 4 years which included a two year engagement,' said the Kennedy campaign's senior adviser Link
