Anthony Bourdain’ s divorce from the mother of his child was never finalized ? though he ruled out ever marrying girlfriend Asia Argento , according to a report.

As the celebrity chef’s legal next of kin, Ottavia Busia-Bourdain is in charge of decision-making, including over his remains,  which have been in Kayserberg-Vignobles, France , since  his suicide  last Friday.

“We are only awaiting the wishes of the family,” the mayor of the town, Pascal Lohr, told People . “Everything then will be done as quickly as possible.”

Busia-Bourdain, 40, and the tragic TV host, who married in 2007, have one daughter together , Ariane, 11.

They amicably split in 2016 and, shortly after, Bourdain began dating Argento .

It’s unclear whether the couple initiated an official divorce proceeding in court.

The 61-year-old recently told People that while he couldn’t see himself marrying the Italian actress, he “wouldn’t hate” living with her.

“Look, I like being around her as much as possible,” he said. “She’s like me, in a lot of ways. We’ve both been married twice. So that’s not something that’s ever, ever going to happen.”

Bourdain was married for 20 years to his first wife, Nancy Putkoski. They divorced in 2005.

Argento, 42, and Bourdain met while filming his hit travel food show “Parts Unknown.” She also worked on the series.

“That’s the death of everything. I think we both respect each other’s work,” Bourdain added. “Nobody’s ever going to say, ‘Oh, but you promised we were going to go to the beach.’ No, you know, you get a gig, that’s it. That’s it. Nothing else matters. Work first.”

But a source told the magazine that Bourdain was “madly in love with Asia” before his death ? to the point that friends were concerned over their relationship.

“Like a teenage boy, just absolutely lovestruck,” the source said. “He would have done anything for her, and that was a little red flag for some of his friends. Like, he was crazy in love with her, crazy being the key word.”

The source said none of Bourdain’s friends ? not even close pal and fellow chef Eric Ripert , who discovered his body ? “knew the depths of his pain.”

“Even his closest friends are still waiting for some mystery to be uncovered,” the source said. “We knew his nerves were shattered a little; his marriage had fallen apart, he was way, way overworked and overdriven, but unstable … No one had a clue.”
