well, their son is a cutie but marrying a sexually confused douche is not ideal...she's no saint herself but once dude confessed to making out with boys, I would've called it a wrap...hear all kind of drugs rumors about her and her recent appearance isn't helping...good luck with that

It's because he changed his hair.. Ick.

But their hair was perfect for each other!

Of all the couples out there, they have really seemed like a good match and as somebody else pointed out, they looked genuinely happy every time they are out - not in a TomKat publicity stunt way, but simply like regular couples in love. I guess he sister will be single soon so they can go back to their "careers", i.e. finding new men to date and making CDs nobody listens to.

I'm sad for them. Didn't see that one coming at all.

I didn't see that coming...

I just hope they can keep it civil for Bronx's sake. Divorces are hard enough but when they are played out in the press, it's just sad all around.

Gosh why am I not surprised?! The only reason they got married in the first place was because she got knocked up! These celebrities (if you can even call these two that) just don't take marriage seriously!

WHAT!!! I love them together!

shocking. People use marriage like a revolving door.

That's sad to hear. Hope they keep it amicable for the sake of their son, and not go at each other like Halle/Gabriel.

That's what happens when you get married because you got pregnant.

Shocker. Doubt she would have gotten married if not for the pregnancy.

I really liked them as a couple. This is really shocking and very sad.

d-listers getting d-vorced. who cares?

If this is true I'll be shocked! They always look so happy together. It seemed like they always made a point to hold hands, even if one of them was carrying Bronx.
