Long-Lasting Love Languishes

West Wing’s Bradley Whitford and Malcolm in the Middle’s Jane Kaczmarek  filed for divorce on Friday after 16 years of marriage.

Sixteen years of being married to the same person is, like, a miracle in Hollywood.  Where do you think it all went wrong for these two?  Cheating?  Drugs?  Boredom?  Maybe they just couldn’t find a way to function once they were no longer cast on alliteratively titled television series.  I hear that can happen.

The couple, both Wisconsin born and bred, have three children:  Frances (12), George (9) and Mary (6).

    OMG!? I specifically remember him winning an award and going on and on about how much he loved his wife and thanked her to the end. Ellen, the host of that particular award show, even made fun of his overly lovey-doveyness in his speech. I for one, am shocked.

    this makes me so sad, (although your post was very clever, wendie).

    i loved both their shows and thought that they had it all together. hope they both come out of it okay.

    I think the real tragedy here is what they named their kids. Frances? Really?

      Maybe they are big Dirty Dancing fans and figured Frances was better than Baby. Or maybe like in Dirty Dancing they are big fans of Frances Perkins. Though maybe I would have stuck with Penny.

    The answer is obvious. She got old, her hormones disappeared, her vagina dried up, and she lot interest in sex. Always happens.

    Nah, I’m gonna let that one slide. Wonder if he’s got a younger model on the side?

    Wonder if he’s lookin for a younger model. Wonder if I should fly to California right now… because if Duchovny is back with Leoni- this guy’s my only home.
