Rachel Hunter, ex of Rod Stewart and a model in her own right, was all set to marry her boyfriend of two years, Canadian hockey player Jarret Stoll.  Then came the email.

Yesterday, Stoll sent a broadcast email to invited guests informing them that the wedding, scheduled for August 14th, was being cancelled.

The couple bought a house together last year and were planning on starting a family shortly after the wedding.  Though Stoll is almost 13 years younger than Hunter, he reportedly had a close relationship with her two children, aged 17 and 14.  According to friends of Hunter, she has no idea why he called it off and she’s simply devastated.

Sure, it’s humiliating to go through a last-minute split like this, but not half as traumatic or expensive as a divorce in a year.  Buck up, Rachel.  It just means that there is a better opportunity waiting for you.

Chloe is adorable, but soooo tiny!! And standing next to Rachel Hunter doesn’t help!
