One of the couples who helped put “Wife Swap” on the map quietly divorced earlier this year, Page Six can exclusively reveal.

Steven Spolansky filed for a contested divorce from Jodi Spolansky in August 2023, court records show.

The exes, whom a source tells Page Six had already been separated for years, reached an agreement in the case in January. A New York judge signed off on the paperwork in February.

We hear Steven, 58, primarily lives in Miami these days, while Jodi, 56, resides in the Seattle area.

They share five children: sons Griffin, 27, Gage, 26, Lawson, 18, and Chase, 17, and daughter Peyton, 22.

The Spolanskys and their respective lawyers did not respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Steven, Jodi and their family rose to fame in 2004 when they appeared in the first season of “Wife Swap,” an ABC reality series following wives from different social classes who trade lives for 10 days.

Their episode described Jodi, then 36, as a spoiled “multimillionairess” from New York City who cherished her “me time” and spent an average of $4,000 a week on clothing. She swapped lifestyles with Lynn Bradley, a 45-year-old school bus driver and wood chopper from rural New Jersey.

The Spolanskys had only three kids at the time, though they employed four nannies, a maid, a cook and a chauffeur.

As they participated in the show, Jodi refused to chop wood, whereas Bradley — who shared two daughters with her husband, Brad Bradley — was appalled by the Manhattanite’s self-indulgent lifestyle.

When Lynn finally laid down the law at the Spolanskys’ luxe New York City home and informed Steven of her plan to get rid of the nannies, he infamously asked, “Are they taking the children with them?”

By the end of the episode, Jodi realized she needed to spend more time with her kids, and Steven, the founder of fashion brand Amiee Lynn, learned, “well, nothing,” The Post wrote in a review at the time.

While the Spolanskys’ TV career (which also included multiple appearances on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”) was short-lived, Lawson said in a TikTok video earlier this year that it “ruined” his family.

“Can we just please talk about something else?” he asked his 220,000-plus followers in January before pleading, “Let’s just look forward to something new.”

Lawson — who was born two years after his parents’s notorious “Wife Swap” episode aired — has made a name for himself in recent months as a content creator, regularly sharing videos about his experience attending a therapeutic boarding school that he has claimed “operates like a cult.”
