Art collector Charles Saatchi has been cautioned for assault after images of him grasping his wife, Nigella Lawson, by the neck appeared in a newspaper.
Scotland Yard said a 70-year-old man "voluntarily attended a central London police station and accepted a caution for assault" on Monday afternoon.
Mr Saatchi had reportedly said the photos in the Sunday People showed "a playful tiff".
Celebrity chef Ms Lawson has not commented.
Announcing the caution late on Monday night, Scotland Yard said "officers from the community safety unit at Westminster were aware of the Sunday People article which was published on Sunday 16 June and carried out an investigation".
The photos were taken about a week ago in London.
'No grip'In Monday's Evening Standard, Mr Saatchi said: "About a week ago, we were sitting outside a restaurant having an intense debate about the children, and I held Nigella's neck repeatedly while attempting to emphasise my point.
"There was no grip, it was a playful tiff.
"Nigella's tears were because we both hate arguing, not because she had been hurt.
"We had made up by the time we were home. The paparazzi were congregated outside our house after the story broke yesterday morning, so I told Nigella to take the kids off till the dust settled."
Mr Saatchi, a former advertising executive, and Ms Lawson have been married since 2003.
She has two children, Cosima and Bruno, from her marriage to journalist John Diamond, who died in 2001.
Ms Lawson's spokesman confirmed earlier that she had left the family home with her children, but did not say whether it was a permanent or temporary move.
