He suggested an annulment a few minutes later and left her. Mick and Evelyn only spent one night together until Mick expressed disappointment in Evelyn's sexual appeal-or lack thereof-to him. In short, he only married her because he believed it was the only way he could sleep with her. His motives for marrying Evelyn are mostly restricted to her lake scene in Boute-en-Train and he wanted to see her full breasts. Mick was Evelyn's third husband, and Evelyn was also Mick’s third wife. He does, however, tell the tabloids 'I didn't deserve a lady like that, and she didn't deserve a guy like me.' He also revealed that he was happy to be divorced from her, so it's possible that he could've initiated the split. Not much is known about Mick's relationship with Victoria, or even who suggested a divorce. It can be safely assumed that he passed the shape of his lips down to his children. His lips, given their own distinct name by tabloids in Malibu Rising (Riva lips), consist of a full bottom lip and thin upper lip.

He has jet-black hair (provided by Evelyn) and dark eyes. He is (according to his daughter Nina's POV in Malibu Rising) tall, dark, and handsome. Riva's description is very vague in The Seven Husbands, though he has a more detailed one in Malibu Rising.

One may go as far as saying that he is selfish and self-centered, most likely due to his handsomeness-which he knows people notice and admire him for. She states that he enjoys rejecting women for dramatic and narcissistical reasons when the opportunity reveals itself (such as when he suggested an annulment to Evelyn). Whether he has a hidden depth to him or not remains unknown in Evelyn's book. Mick is an egotistical man in Evelyn's eyes.
