Amy Winehouse confessed to cheating on Blake Fielder-Civil in divorce papers.
Blake was granted a decree nisi - a preliminary stage of divorce which will then become absolute in six weeks - during a 75-second hearing in the Family Division of London's High Court on the grounds of Amy's infidelity today (7/16/09).
Neither Blake, 27, nor Amy, 25, attended the hearing.
Court papers show that when Amy was asked if she admitted "the adultery alleged in the petition", she replied, "Yes."
Blake - who married Amy in May 2007 - filed for divorce from inside prison earlier this year while he was serving a 27-month sentence for perverting the course of justice and grievous bodily harm.
In a question-and-answer session detailed in legal documents submitted to the court, Blake insisted he finds living with Amy "intolerable".
The papers reveal the one-time video production assistant was asked by his lawyer to "state briefly your reasons for saying that the respondent has committed the adultery alleged", to which Blake answered: "The respondent confessed the adultery to me in April 2008."
According to the documents, the couple have lived apart since that date - although Blake was remanded in custody six months after they tied the knot in 2007.
Amy and Blake first met in 2005 and had a turbulent on/off relationship, which inspired the pained lyrics on her worldwide hit album 'Back to Black'.
Their relationship was plagued by drink and drug fuelled bust-ups and Amy's father Mitch stated on several occasions that he wanted his daughter to walk away from the "self-destructive" romance.
Amy is due in court next Thursday (7/23/09) to face an assault charge.
