New York City heiress Belle Burden claims her cheating ex-husband had the gall to ask her to make him a sandwich — just moments after telling their kids they were getting a divorce. The mom-of-three, who describes her hedge fund executive husband Henry Davis’ affair in her newly released memoir, revealed the eyebrow-raising exchange in a Burden, the granddaughter of legendary Big Apple socialite Babe Paley, said the couple sat down with their children in early 2020 in Martha’s Vineyard to break the news — roughly a month after Davis packed up and left the home where they were quarantining together.

Belle Burden with her daughter, Georgia Davis, who celebrated her 21st birthday near around the time the photo was taken.“I sat on the couch with the girls, my arms around them, and my husband sort of paced in front of them and said, ‘I have not been happy and I’ve decided that we’re going to divorce’,” she divulged to the “Modern Love” podcast. “And my younger daughter turned, and I think she thought this was a joke. And then she looked at my face and saw how sad I looked, and she just screamed. My older daughter just sat very calmly with her arms crossed, just watching her father.”The bombshell is the latest tidbit to emerge after Burden — whose full name is Flobelle Fairbanks Burden — laid bare the details of her husband’s affair and subsequent end of their 20 year marriage.Burden, 56, claimed she learned of her 60-year-old hubby’s infidelity after his mistress’ spouse left her a voicemail. At the time, Burden and Davis were holed up with their two youngest children at their $7.5 million second home in Martha’s Vineyard. She claims in the memoir — “Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage” — that Davis later fled without saying goodbye to his kids and severed the final ties of his marriage to Burden over the phone. “I thought I was happy but I’m not. I thought I wanted our life but I don’t,” Davis allegedly told Burden. “I feel like a switch has flipped. I’m done.” She claims he then said, “You can have the house and the apartment. You can have custody of the kids. I don’t want it. I don’t want any of it.”“While I disagree with many of her recollections, as well as her overall mischaracterization of my relationship with my children, I do not wish to comment in more detail in order to protect them from further violations of their privacy other than to say that I continue to lovingly support, and be lovingly supported by, my children,” he said in a brief statement.
