Celebrity Divorces—What Fuels Battles Like These?

It’s no secret I was shocked when I heard the news that model Christie Brinkley was getting divorced yet again. And, like many others, I was even more shocked when I learned what triggered her filing. Tabloid trash aside even the most uninterested reader has got to feel horrible for the children involved in this divorce (and those not nearly as contentious as Brinkley’s), which is why I was stunned when I heard what transpired a few days ago when Brinkley and her estranged husband Peter Cook tried to hammer out a temporary custody agreement involving their 11-year-old son Jack … Continue reading

A Celebrity Split I Didn’t See Coming

I was shocked to hear the news: Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have separated. After seven years of marriage, the couple released a statement to the media via their rep that reads: “Reese and Ryan remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time.” The famous couple has two children daughter Ava, 7, and son Deacon, 3. I feel especially bad for them. I am aware of the much talked about “seven-year-itch” in marriages, yet I am still stunned by the announcement. The couple seemed to … Continue reading

Reason for Movie Star’s Divorce Finally Revealed

Like many people, when I first heard the news (six months ago) that two-time Academy Award-winning actress Hilary Swank and her husband, actor Chad Lowe were separating I was shocked. I couldn’t believe that after nearly 14 years together they were calling it quits. I know, I know, why should I be surprised to hear that yet another Hollywood marriage was biting the dust? I suppose I thought their union was “different.” After all, wasn’t it Lowe who tearfully watched from the audience as Swank accepted not one, but two Oscars. I watched him blow kisses from his seat while … Continue reading
