How Mary Kay Letourneau’s And Vili Faulaau’s Daughters Are Handling Their Parents' Split

As Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Faulaau look to legally separate by Aug. 1, the couple’s daughters are staying out of the relationship between their parents. Letourneau and Faulauu married in 2005 and had two daughters together after they started a sexual relationship when he was 12 years old, and she was his sixth-grade teacher.

The couple’s daughters, Audrey, 21, and Georgia, 19, are remaining “as impartial as possible” on their parent’s decision to separate, a source close to Letourneau told People. The daughters were both born before Faulauu was 15.

“They’re trying not to choose sides,” the source said. “They had two great parents who loved and supported them. So now they’re returning the love and support to both their dad and their mom.”

Both daughters are close to their father and have maintained a relationship with their mother, the source said. “They’re very good girls. They are wise beyond their years, and they understand that relationships are a complex thing.”

Letourneau, who is a registered sex offender in the state of Washington, married Faulauu when he was an adult after he petitioned the court to allow them to see each other again. Faulauu filed for legal separation in 2017, where the couple will have a private arbitration to solve the differences in their pending separation.

“No one likes to see a family fall apart, but the girls are old enough to process what’s happening, and they know that they’re loved very much,” the source said “They’ll be okay. Everyone will be okay.”
