Barnes, Presiding Judge. In this divorce action between Brian Barron (“Husband”) and Bembry Pritchett (“Wife”), Husband appeals from an order denying his motion for a new trial. Husband contends that the trial court erred in finding that the parties’ prenuptial agreement was enforceable. He further asserts that the trial court committed legal error when it found that, even if the agreement were otherwise unenforceable under Georgia law, it could be enforced as a matter of equity. As explained more fully below, we find no abuse of discretion by the trial court in concluding the agreement is enforceable. Accordingly, we affirm the final judgment and decree of divorce. The record shows that the parties had a relatively lengthy romantic history that culminated in a brief marriage. The couple began dating in or around the fall of 2013 and during their relationship, they had unprotected sexual intercourse on a number of occasions. Husband engaged in the intercourse despite his knowledge that he was infected with the Type 2 Herpes Virus. Moreover, Husband failed to disclose his infected status to Wife. In or around 2015, Wife discovered that she had become infected with the virus, and she threatened to file both criminal and civil complaints against Husband. Husband retained an attorney to draft a settlement agreement and release with respect to Wife’s claims, and the parties executed that agreement on July 23, 2015. Under the terms of the settlement, Husband agreed to pay Wife two lumpsum payments of $6,000 each and biweekly payments of $438.46, with those payments continuing until the death of one of the parties. Additionally, Husband agreed to maintain a 30year term life insurance policy with Wife as the sole beneficiary. In exchange, the release portion of the agreement provided: [Wife] hereby forever releases, discharges and covenants to hold harmless [Husband] . . . from any and all claims, demands, damages, punitive damages, exemplary damages, costs, expenses, attorney fees, actions and causes of action, expenses, compensation, consequential damage or any other thing whatsoever on account of, or in any way growing out of, any and all known and unknown damages, relative to the alleged [conduct] of [Husband] [as set forth herein]. [Wife] further covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless [Husband] from the claims, if any, of any and all other persons and entities, whether named herein or not, including but not limited to, any health care providers, health care facility, corporation, authority or governmental agency, arising out of such failures. It is the intent of this agreement to release [Husband] from all further liability for such activity, and [Wife] expressly acknowledges and agrees that this indemnification agreement applies to any claims against [Husband] for any additional contribution which may be allegedly required of him as a result of the same.
