Kenny G and his ex wife are sparring over a Malibu mansion he allegedly rented for $600,000.
The saxophonist, whose real name is Kenneth Gorelick, and his ex wife of 20 years, Balynda “Lyndie” Benson,who split in 2012, have been involved in an ongoing legal dispute regarding the terms of their divorce. The latest conflict began in October 2021, when Kenny requested to end his $40,000-per-month spousal support payment to his ex, citing his reduced income. He claimed, via his lawyer — celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser — that his career had taken a hit over the last couple of years and he wasn’t touring like he once was.
Now, Benson is demanding to see the emails that detail her ex’s purported six-figure rental arrangement.

She has made several requests that he turn over all emails and documentation pertaining to the alleged lease with Bezos, which the musician has denied citing privacy concerns.
A representative for Kenny declined to comment.

In a response also issued on Nov. 27, Kenny’s attorneys argue that “there is no order . . . for Kenny to sell the Grayfox Property” in their divorce agreement, and Benson’s potential payout only comes into playifhe chooses to sell it.
Kenny and Benson married on April 5, 1992,and separatedon Jan. 9, 2012. They share two adult sons, Noah Reed and Maxwell Benson.
