Nigella Lawson and Charles Saatchi are on their way to a quick divorce.

On Wednesday, London’s High Court granted the estranged couple a decree nisi — a preliminary divorce judgment.

In six weeks, Lawson and Saatchi can seek a decree absolute, which would finalize the legal split.

Neither party was in court for the hearing.

Although Saatchi announced his intentions to divorce Lawson earlier this month, it was actually the celebrity chef who officially filed to end the marriage.

In paperwork dated July 10, “The Taste” judge seeks the divorce based on her husband’s “unreasonable behavior.”

The pair’s split comes 10 years after they wed, and a month and a half Saatchi was photographed choking Lawson at a restaurant.

He initially downplayed the incident, but later admitted to the assault.
