[HelterSkelter]

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either !! What a shock. Poor Kate, I hope she has all her friends & family around her now :(

[addiekatefan]

Fuck I'm gonna throw up.

[emily121]

It's such a shock. What the hell happened?!?! Alex filed too. Crazy. Poor Kate, and Alex. Divorce is never nice. It's so sad. Hope they are okay. and OMG. OMG.

[evei12]

I just saw that too!...so sad.... :(

[Teelke]

I can´t close my mouth, I didnt see this coming at all
im so sorry for them too

[amandaplease]

Awww, boo. I kinda had a bad feeling about the no rings thing.
Sad, sad, sad. Damn.

[L Dub]

I'm so sad. And shocked! :headshake:

Wonder if this has anything to do with the lack of the Rover lately...?


:crying:

[tropicalhibiscus]

WHAT!!!!!!!!????

:'(

I'm very sad

[sexysassy971]

HOLY FUCKKK!!!!!!! TTTTCCCHHHIIIPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
AWWWW!!
Merde alors!!!!

[Arden]

oh my.. I was so shocked when I saw this on JJ. Wow

[HelterSkelter]

Strange to think that the last set of photos of them together was at that TAO nightclub event on 9 November, and they separated on the 22nd, less than 2 weeks later :(

[Sastia]

Dios Mio!!

[emily121]

I don't think things have been good for a while. Pictures together have been less and less. More unhappiness in them, like the Emmy's. But I don't know. It's crazy. I wonder what happened to tip it over the edge. So freaking sad though.

[Grace]

WHAAAAT?! Oh no, I didn't see this coming AT ALL. They seemed happy and so perfect.
That makes me so sad.
Still I wish all both of them the best and that they'll be able to handle the situation.

[Mien84]

OMG. I'm shocked. That's just so sad. I literally feel sick to my stomach right now. Really didn't see that coming.
Hope both of them will be alright.

[crazychica]

Divorce papers. Alex filed on Tuesday.

http://www.tmz.com/2008/12/11/kate-walsh-privately-practicing-divorce/

Honestly, I think we need to disregard the Vegas pics, because seriously this is exactly what happened when Brad Pitt divorced Jen Aniston, pics of them looking all happy in Hawaii like came out a week before us fans learnt of her divorce and everyone was like wow how they looked so happy? IMO this has been in the works for a while and is more likely than not a mutual decision. Maybe, they are still friends who knows?

Right now I think all of us fans need to go out there on all stupid blogs and stuff and just support her, you know just stand behind her. They had their reasons for doing this and it is their own personal decision, and we just need to support her, because the media attention from this is not necessarily going to be good and I am not going to lie to you it may get ugly. I think that is the best thing we can do right now. Support.

[kimmy1987]

OMG!!! I am shocked! This is so sad...

[satinestar]

Oh my God.

[BabyWonder7]

Oh my God. I think I'm going to throw up. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I thought about it because of the rings and all, but oh my god. I didn't think it would happen. What's irreconcilable differences mean by the way? God, I really hope this was a mutual decision, and Kate's alright. Damn it!

I'm crying... shit.

[emily121]

Irreconcilable differences just means differences that can't be solved. Not getting along etc. It's pretty much your bog standard reason most people use to file for divorce.

[BabyWonder7]

Okay, well it makes me feel better that it's not adultery. Thank you for explaining. :)

[crazychica]

^ We don't know what their reason for divorcing was at this point, and quite frankly it is none of our business. Never rule out anything, but I really do not think we should be speculating about possible causes.

[satinestar]

^ Yeah, absolutely. They both deserve their privacy because only they know what happened. It could be a good thing or a bad thing that they are splitting, but either way, it's none of our business. All we can do is support Kate and hope that she's okay. I'm sure she'll be surrounded by family and friends and will make it through this. It's such a pity that she's going to be hounded even more now by paps with annoying questions that I'm sure she does not want to answer.

[NCpixie]

OMG! Seriously, I can't believe this! I hope she is ok bc going through a divorce is so difficult even if the decision is mutual and for the best! Poor Kate! The paps are def gonna be living outside her house now!

[leerae]

Joint statement:
Young and Walsh issued a joint statement to Access Hollywood on Thursday afternoon concerning the split.

“Papers have been filed to amicably end the marriage of executive Alex Young, and actress Kate Walsh,” the statement read. “The couple remain on friendly terms and sincerely hope the media will respect their privacy during this difficult time.”

I am so sad. We have to support Kate.

I also made a thread on the PrP mb.

[crazychica]

That's good that they released a statement. :)

[satinestar]

Thanks for the statement. I would hope that they can still be friends even if the marriage didn't work out.

[katewalshfan92]

what the HECK!
i was like NO!

[BabyWonder7]

That's good that they released a statement, and I'm glad they're still on friend terms.

[sexysassy971]

I'm behind her, And she is enough strengh to support that! The family and pets lovers are more important! So she will be good IMO, I hope so, and I'm praying for her!

We all love you kate!! :)

[passion]

omgwtf. :/
i hope kate's doing well, considering. D: what a way to ruin the holiday season. .__.

[fe_mcphee]

I knew it. When I saw her without hin on thanksgiving, I felt that. I'm so sad.

[dana]

Wow. This sucks pretty badly. I'm typically in perpetual lurk-mode on here even though I read everything, but I'm compelled to say something because this is just so sad. I would be sad for anyone in this situation, but... wow. When I saw the name of the topic, I thought it was a joke. She just seemed so purely happy and... I don't know... giddy... every time she talked about him that I really thought theirs might be one Hollywood marriage that actually would work out.

Kaaaate :(

[Addiekate]

OMG OMG OMG i wanna throw up!
Poor Kate! this just sucks! :(

[Karla]

Such sad news.
My thoughts & best wishes go to both Kate & Alex.

[mspivey2]

I am shocked too. Of course I will be supportive of Kate and Alex's decision. I can't say I agree with it because I am pretty against divorce but I will always stand up for Kate.

[Kateislove]

Oh my god. I can't believe this! What happened?! Why!? I always thought that they were okay and all. I can't believe they're actually going through with this. I can't even find words to describe what I'm thinking. I really do hope that Kate is okay, considering everything, I will be praying for them.

[CloserToKate]

I´m sorry but right now I´m just sick to my stomach and really wanna vomit....
Shit what happened between them...I feel so sorry for them...
Hope Kate is doing well...

[deltafan]

Nawww.
that sucks.

im kinda shocked :O

[AddisonLove]

I still just can't believe. I just feel sick all over.

[BabyWonder7]

Me too Jamie. It became reality about an hour ago, and I couldn't stop crying over it. I've felt like I was going to vomit since 4 this afternoon. I still can't believe it though, I mean, no more Kalex? Kate is a soon-to-be single, divorcee... It's just weird to think about.

[Addiekate]

OMG i cried too, i thought i was the only one.
I feel really bad abt this. I was hoping someone would say : haha gotcha!!! :( but i guess is all true! stupid reality!

[BabyWonder7]

You're definitely not the only one.

[Becky]

Omg I am so upset. They seemed so perfect together. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who cried when they found out.

[kimmy1987]

I cried too!

[satinestar]

Count me in too :(

[Kateislove]

I'm with you guys on the crying factor. When I first read the text message I received about it, I was just stunned and couldn't really say anything other than this can't be true. Until I say the articles and then it hit me because it made it real and I sat in the breakroom at work and just cried.

Hell, I cried while I was working out on the floor, because I can't stop thinking about it, and I can only imagine how Kate feels right now.

[Tiff]

Awwww ! This is so sad :(

I juste hope she's feeling the best she can with this situation.

[HelterSkelter]

I'm still shocked over this news. At least the statement was issued jointly and it sounds amicable. I feel for Kate though - & to add to it the next few weeks the paps are going to be following her every move :(

[AddisonLove]

I can't go to bed. Its all I think about. I cried too.

[Addie_Kate]

OMG! What happened, I thought they were happy. :(
Poor Kate, it's so sad. I'm still crying :(

[Lucile]

OMG! That's so sad, I hope Kate is okay and that she will be supported by her friends and her family.
I was already sick but now I'm worse, I'm almost crying

[sexysassy971]

I can't... I just can't...

[Lyl]

oh god what? kate and alex? noooo this my dreamy pair! they are absolutely perfect together! they are cute and great I can¨t believe it, it can¨t be true!!! why? :(

[Addyette]

OMG! I'm really shoked! I came here expecting nothing bad and than this! I can't believe it! It feels so unreal! I never thought the not wearing the rings on th AMAs would mean something!
I hope Kate is okey (as much as that is possible in such a situation) and her family and friends are there for her!
That's so sad :( and unexpected! It must have been terrible for her with all the pregnant rumors... :( :( :(

[crazychica]

Yeah I hardly slept last night too, maybe 4 hours, woke up feeling like shit. Ugh I hope the paps leave her alone, but everyone of them is going to want their post divorce money shot exclusive. I haven't cried though, I have just felt confused more than anything and have all these thoughts and stuff.

*throws things*

[AddisonLove]

I went to bed at 4am and coulnt sleep at all. So I am up again. Thank goodness I dont have to work. I am in a daze. I feel like shit.

*Joining Amanda in throwing things*

[amandaplease]

So, I was pretty sad about this and then I went to work like 2 hours after the story broke and I got my first ever patient whose baby was dead, so I kind of got over it. Although now that I'm home again I'm kind of like "aw, damn" all over again.

But, pop some Tylenol PM or something stronger if you got it. That shit works wonders for sleeping during the day.

ETA: Crap, that sounded really flippant. I didn't mean for it to. Am just lacking sleep, and am still quite sad about this news. When I refreshed my screen yesterday, I so thought I imagined it, like did an actual double take and refreshed the page again.

[Kate.Aholic :)]

Oh my godness I can't believe it. It's so....ah....can't find enough words for.They were such a sweet couple. I wish her all the best for the next time.

[Grace]

I thought I didn't look right, too. Then I thought it might be something stupid like the "sexy texts" or something. BUt still can't believe it cause that seems so suddenly and so rushed. Aww I'm still sad and in kinda of a weird mood. Poor poor Kate :(

[xAddieRocksx]

Wow! That's a huge schock! They seems like such a happy couple. I hope both Kate and Alex are doing okay.... It really sucks that it happened during the holiday season too :(

Poor Kate! *Hugs fellow Walshies*

[mspivey2]

I find it really rushed too. Such a shame, but I am sure Kate will power on. She is a strong women.

[saci]

OMG.
I'm in shock. Seriously. OMG.
This is so sad, I feel so bad for her. I just can't believe it, really, I can't.
I didn't see that coming at all.
I hope Kate is okay and has her friends and family around her. This has to be so hard. We have to support her.
It's just so sad.

[Lyl]

I'm pretty sure she will find her McDreamy who will absolutely adore her! she is strong woman and it seems like they are friendly to each other so Kate you're my hero I hope she is not sad

[Addyette]

aww I just watched the Leno and Kimmel vids from November (that was like a few days before the actual divorce...) and I just can't believe it... it's like there are two world. Maybe that because I don't want to believe it. I was thinking the whole day about it now... so sad :(
but like some of you already said she's a strong woman and sure finds her Mr Right sometime!

[Daisy_Petal]

I can't believe it! Poor Kate and poor Alex :( I hope they can both get through this, divorces are never easy.

:(

[kimmy1987]

I re-watched Leno and Kimmel too...and ... it's all so surreal...
I mean...in the Leno one they even joked about being kept up at night to watch the cats and the dogs as a cause of divorce...
and...I remember I laughed so much when I saw it the first time...now it seems terrible!

[katewalshfan92]

i really wish i knew what happened, honestly because this has made me so sick. i actually thought they would last or at least more than a year. ahhhhh. they were so cute together too.

[addiekatefan]

^ They did last more than a year.

[Teelke]

I just googled it all again and now there show so many German articles up on the search its so crazy, i haven´t watched Tv today but it really is everywhere =/

[HelterSkelter]

Eric Dane's reaction when asked about it last night by ET (http://www.etonline.com/news/2008/12/68818/index.html)

"That's terrible," Eric says about the news. "No I haven't seen her. I've got to call her. Thanks for reminding me that I need to call her and say… that's terrible."

[addiekatefan]

I saw this in the morning, Eric is nice, thanks for posting :)

[AddisonsAnatomy]

I am still like wtf? This is all I thought about last night and today. I feel so sorry of Kate. *is still in shock*

[sexysassy971]

thanks for posting that. Eric is sweet!

[Grace]

I saw that, too and his reaction really was sweet.
That's what I meant with it felt so suddenly because she talked about their marriage like normal, I would have thought if there might be something going on she wouldn't have talked about anything concerning them both...
But Kate is great and she'll make it through this, I mean we already saw photos post Nov 22 and she looked okay, I mean nobody noticed something, so I guess she'll be able to handle it well and keep her privacy.

[AddisonLove]

Thanks Jen that was very sweet.

[satinestar]

Aw, they just did a segment on them on Entertainment Tonight and they showed a new "old" interview with them from last year's Emmys. They were so cute :( They kept saying how cool it was to say husband and wife. Wah.

Thanks for the Eric reaction. His reaction was very genuine and sweet. Aw.

[AddisonLove]

^Im gonna cry again.

[vballluv01]

OMG!!!!!
I can't believe it.
It actually brought tears to my eyes.
That's SO sad.
I feel so bad for her!!!!
Aw, poor Kate.

OMG!
I didn't even think about the picture of them at Tao as being the last picture of them!
I just cut that out about 20 minutes before I read about this!

Okay, so I know this is my third time replying, but it's just insane to think about. I was on youtube watching a video of them when I saw the comment someone had posted. I thought it was just some jerk making stuff up, but when I typed it in to google I was really upset. I just wish there was something I could do to help Kate.

I'm definitely praying for her.

[katewalshfan92]

^ They did last more than a year.

well about a year and three months i know.
but it's still so :( and i was really :mad: when i found out, plus all my friends were telling me about it like i didn't already know.

[Kateislove]

Yeah, the same thing keeps happening to me. I've gotten so many texts today from friends and previous coworkers that are like did you know that Kate Walsh is getting a divorce. And I'm like YES! I've known about it, since they came out with it.

And truthfully, I've been thinking about it and all and I wonder if something happened in Las Vegas, because that was really the last time we saw them together. And then he filed shortly after that. Perhaps, it had something to do with the racy text messages he was sending to someone and perhaps there was a little affair or whatever go down in Las Vegas?

Maybe, I have overly thinked that, and I could be completely wrong. I just wonder...

[greekbeth]

Omg! I suspected something because lately she wasn't wearing her rings, but it's so sad.
I'm wishing her my best.

[addiekatefan]

Ok people let's not speculate as to why Alex and Kate divorced please. We should respect their privacy and not be guessing about the potential causes.

[Teelke]

Yeah I totally agree with Brittany we shouldnt write about it until we know if, if we will ever know.
As they already said they want to keep it private and we should respect that!

[saci]

What Eric said is really sweet, thanks for posting.

[amandaplease]

Aw, they just did a segment on them on Entertainment Tonight and they showed a new "old" interview with them from last year's Emmys. They were so cute :( They kept saying how cool it was to say husband and wife. Wah.

So I was in my patient's room and she was watching ET & I saw the preview that said the segment was coming up and totally made up excuses to stay in the room longer so I could watch it. And then it was super sad and I kind of wished I hadn't. And then my patient's mom said "They were only married for 10 months" and I had to say "NO 15!!" But everyone in the room was in agreement about Kate's awesomeness.

[Kateislove]

Yeah, and I do respect the privacy that they want. I was just making a statement because it's just what I was thinking considering everything.

[AddisonLove]

I saw the ET thing as well. It was so sad. Poor Kate.

[katewalshfan92]

i'm constantly looking back over this thread, hoping there would be a post that say's it was all a rumor!gahhhhh cries.

[AddisonsAnatomy]

Aww Eric is such a sweetheart. I started to cry while I was watching ET last night. I'm so sad. I will to definatly pray for Kate.

[Mien84]

Aww, Eric is really nice I read it yesterday on imdb, too.

It's even all over the German press. Usually they don't write a lot about Kate. But it's even in our local newspaper. I'm so pissed! When something bad happens everyone wants a piece of it.

[Teelke]

Yeah I know I was annoyed by it to its litteraly everywhere I am glad that It wasnt on Tv but I have to say I barely watched Tv today

[AddisonLove]

Yes we need to keep her in our prayers.

[Lyl]

I read that also T.R., Justin, Keisha, Katie, Josh, Chandra, James, Shonda supported her, that's nice.

I'm still sad for her but I hope everything will be ok, she 's Addison! she will go thru this

[kimmy1987]

Yeah...It's nice of them to support Kate! It's important in moment like this to have people that support you!
I still find difficult to believe this is actually happening, and maybe I can't even imagine how hard this must be for her.
We are with you Kate

[AddisonLove]

read that also T.R., Justin, Keisha, Katie, Josh, Chandra, James, Shonda supported her, that's nice.
Really? I wanna read it.

[emily121]

.And truthfully, I've been thinking about it and all and I wonder if something happened in Las Vegas, because that was really the last time we saw them together. And then he filed shortly after that. Perhaps, it had something to do with the racy text messages he was sending to someone and perhaps there was a little affair or whatever go down in Las Vegas?

Maybe, I have overly thinked that, and I could be completely wrong. I just wonder...

The sexy texts thing is very likely untrue. And I highly doubt something significant happened between now and Vegas. Their lives exist outside of the pictures we see and I would imagine things have been strained for quite a while now, not just since Vegas. I don't think this is something that happened all of a sudden.

Affair suggesting is speculation regardless of whether it is what you think and it is disrespectful to their privacy.

[Peppermill Thief]

Seriously, seriously, thought it was a rumor.

I'm with Kim on the whole recent interviews bit. It all seemed cute, like it was still new. Silly things like watching the cats, but it's like the 'joke' was a subliminal message released from her subconscious, almost like she felt inclined to say something but felt she should, so she halfed it. Oh, Kate.

<3

[AddisonLove]

I agree with Emily, I don't think we need to throw rumors around about "affairs" etc.

All we need to do is what Kate asked of us "to respect their privacy".

If they remain friends, who knows maybe they can even work some things out. Reconciling does happen.

So lets just keep them both in our prayers.

[BabyWonder7]

I can't stop thinking about all of this. I thought maybe I'd go away by now, you know the shock, confusion, disbelief etc. I'm just waiting for someone or something to pop out and scream "JUST KIDDING!" Every time I think about it I cry. Every. Single. Time. I think it's mainly the shock. I wasn't prepared for this. After seeing the TAO and other pictures I thought that they were perfectly fine. Like cute, teenage, summer love type of love. The whole head over heels in love thing. The interviews really didn't show much of a sign either. So when I was hit with this it was a genuine wtf moment. I still can't believe it. It's ironic that something can seem so perfect on the outside, but be anything but on the inside.

Oh, and to top it off... I was looking at Kalex pictures on my phone while I was downstairs because we're having a party and right there we have our friends singing and playing the guitar. He started singing the song he wrote right before he and his wife got divorced and I had to run up here so I wouldn't cry in front of everyone. I never thought Kalex would be anything but forever. They always looked so fairy-tale-happy-ending. So yeah, I get to listen to sad, unhappy, depressing, divorce songs. And think about the idea of no more Kalex.

[chloe_luvbug]

OMFG!!!!!
I'm beyond shocked,I always thought they'd beat that whole celebrity short marriage thing!!!!
On the et video of Eric at the marley and me premiere it seemed as though he didn't know..that's how shocking it is!!!

[princessbean]

its sad to think that two people who, as far as we know, were so in love and happy to have found each other and gonna share their life together are now simply "on friendly terms" at best. how does that happen so quickly? Now she has to start all over?:(

[katewalshfan92]

I'm totally with you on this! It's hard on me too.

[addisons_whore]

I haven't been able to be online earlier this weekend because of my prom. I am crying atm. My two favourite celebrities (Kate Walsh and Marg Helgenberger) both divorce from their husband (Marg and her husband's divorce was published last week).


I just didn't see it coming. I always thought that they were REALLY happy together and yeah I know that Kate is an actress but the other day I asked my boyfriend whether he thinks it's weird that Kate kisses guys on Private Practice with tongue. I was like "What does Alex really think when he sees that?" Okay, I am 100% sure this is not the reason for divorcing, because as an executive producer Alex does know what actors do for a living.

No I don't want to know why. All I want to do is to turn back time when they were a happy couple. What will Kate do alone? I don't want to know. I just want her to be back together with Alex.

And... what happened to that they wanted a baby SOOO badly??? *pout*

[saci]

I still can't believe it.
It's like I'm sitting here, watching TV, doing school stuff, whatever, and suddenly it crosses my mind: Kate and Alex are getting divorced. And I'm just like OMG. I'm still shocked and I just can't believe it, I can't. I guess it's because I just didn't see it coming at all. They seemed so happy and it makes me so sad, so so sad, when I think about the times when they were so happy and in love and so thrilled about the fact that they found each other, just like some of you already mentioned, and to me it just seemed like this is really the real thing for them. How could that happen? It's just so sad.

[Heffalump]

That thought crosses me all the time too... it sucks. and as usual I'm reading Addek fic, and that just not a good combo because I can't stop thinking about kalex then

[Lyl]

I feel really like a terrible person because I don't cry about it. I don't cry and i don't feel sad am I really so bad?

I was sad and shocked when I read it but now.....I just think it's happening, they were happy, they were, and they spent brilliant time together, they were wonderful and they had beautiful wedding. and don't take me wrong I wished them all the best when they got married. and I know split is always hard thing but you know maybe they just decided that they want different things in life and they just said sweet nice friendly goodbye, wished all the best to each other and they're starting a new chapter of their life. why does it always mean that it is a so big tragedy? maybe it isn't

I'm pretty sure that they loved each other but they are two brilliant people and when they decided that they can't make this marriage work so they decided to end it because Kate wants Alex to be happy and he wants Kate to be happy.

I hope they're doing well.

I just wanted to write something more optimistic so maybe I'm just stupid :D and I take thing in different ways I don't know. hope nobody is mad at me because of it

[emily121]

^I haven't cried either. I think it's sad for them and it is sad as divorce often is. But they are both adults and it might be what they both wanted we don't know.

I hope they are both okay and I am sure they will be, it will just be a tricky time the same way divorce is for everyone.

[swedish]

This is so sad , really is such a chock hope they are not to sad they way ended.

[Teelke]

I´m sad too and I didnt cry either so you are not a bad person I just think that some people react more sensible about it than others and I think its not us or our parents who are getting divorced its a celebrity who we love and thats certainly something different.

I can understand it if someone crys about this but I think its okay too if you dont.

[mizumi]

I'm confused. shocked and not shocked.
Shocked 'cos they seemed perfect for each other and they seemed not to be another hollywood couple...
And not shocked 'cos they got married so quickly after getting to know each other.

[AddisonsAnatomy]

You are not a horrible person not to cry about something like this. People just react to things differently. With me i either laugh or cry. This time I cried. I never thought that Kate and Alex would be like the typical hollywood couple. Divorced in a year?? Never thought this would happen. As much as we want to know what happend between Kalex, we should respect their privacy. Since we all love Kate that's exactly what we should do. And Kate is in my prayers.

[Stormira]

Oh.
Wow.
That was definately a huge shock. Who would have thought?
Just another reason for me too feel down. Great.
But now I have a predicament. I was going to see X-Men Origins because of him, but since he's not with Kate anymore, I don't know if I should even bother.
Yeah, that's my biggest worry. What a loser.

But OMG! It is really sad. I just....yeah. Speechless.

But all that stuff she said when they gt married, about true love and everything- makes you wonder in the end, eh.

[princessbean]

there are a couple new pics at Just Jared, she is still wearing her LOVE bracelet:(

[BabyWonder7]

there are a couple new pics at Just Jared, she is still wearing her LOVE bracelet:(
Wait was the love bracelet the one from Alex?

[Stormira]

Speaking of Just Jared. You know how he kept going on about Kate wearing Alex's jeans....yeah well, I'm starting to doubt that they were his. Unless it was a kind of 'remembering' thing, but Kate doesn' really seem like the typ of person to do that- to me anyway. But those pics of her on the beach with Rosie and Lucy kind of have a new meaning to them now- as in not quite so happy and slightly depressing.

[AddisonLove]

Wait was the love bracelet the one from Alex?
Yes:(

[eldotti]

I was very shocked to hear about the demise of Kate's marriage to Alex!

I still remember reading a comment that Kate made about changing her name - when asked if she would change to Kate Young she said she would keep Walsh but she would be forever Young! And i thought oohh, you two are perfect together.

But all i can say is take some time and make yourself happy again - then come down to Aus have a holiday and maybe pick up a local - we have some lovely men and i'm sure they would not turn Kate down!

[BabyWonder7]

Yes:(
Oh. :( So... yeah I dunno what to say or suggest when it comes to why she's wearing it.

[Holly]

I still can't believe it.. it'S too sad.. Specially since in November when Kate was on Kimmel and Leno everything seemes alright.. and don't forget those lovely pics we got in November.. :(

[crazychica]

I don't think her wearing the Love bracelet suggests a thing, she just likes to wear it, so what?

I am over being sad/shocked etc, they ended it, it is over, and in my head there is no more need to dwell on it really.

[emily121]

I don't think her wearing the Love bracelet suggests a thing, she just likes to wear it, so what?

I agree. She has so much jewellry and other stuff from Alex that she would have to stop using a lot of things. If it doesn't bother her to still wear stuff and use stuff, then it shouldn't bother us.

[Carrie1982]

I didn't follow Kate's marriage too much, I've never really gotten in to actor's personal lives, but I'm sad to hear about the divorce. Regardless of the reasons, divorce is never an easy thing to go through and I wish Kate the best.

[addisons_whore]

I love how JJ point out every meaningless thing. -.- They should just keep it shut, even these days.

But those pics of her on the beach with Rosie and Lucy kind of have a new meaning to them now- as in not quite so happy and slightly depressing.That was exactly what I thought too! I was wondering why Alex wasn't there but now I know :(

The thing that made me TOTALLY cry is a picture from a Hungarian magazine that I never scanned. It's Kate kissing Alex, the pic is from The Emmys 2007. They looked so happy together.
And another thing... Christmas is coming up... and I hope that Kate won't spend it alone... I would die if she did. I just don't want her to be alone.

[mspivey2]

^Walshies trip to LA anyone? :)

[crazychica]

And another thing... Christmas is coming up... and I hope that Kate won't spend it alone... I would die if she did. I just don't want her to be alone.

Kate is not going to be spending it alone, do you think Kate's life revolved all around Alex? She did have other people in it besides for him (sorry if that came off as rude but yeah JMO). Kate has like the best posse of friends ever, she has insanely supportive family, if there is one thing you do not have to worry about, it is Kate spending Xmas alone.

[emily121]

^Exactly. If she spends it alone it would be her choice. She has a lot of friends and her family seems close. If she doesn't spend christmas them it would be her decision.

[addisons_whore]

^All I can say is, I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT. And yeah, she's not that type of person who'd rather spend it alone.

^Walshies trip to LA anyone? :)
I'm in! :D

There's something I don't get: why did they say the wanted a baby so badly and then filed for divorce a week after? I just don't get it.

[emily121]

They didn't. It was a tabloid story, not an interview with Kate and Alex. You have to take most of those with a pinch of salt and this just shows that.

[crazychica]

National Enquirer = 90% lies. Nuff said.

[addisons_whore]

^Okay I thought it was serious O.O Thanks Emily.

You have to take most of those with a pinch of salt and this just shows that.
You're right, ITA with you 100%, but they did know when they had got married that things like this would happen because they're both famous. It MAY look like I'm looking for a reason for the divorce, but I don't. I don't want to know, I only want this not to happen. When they got married, I thought they would stay together forever because Kate always seems to know what to do and how to do the right thing, I love her self-confidence and this is weird but all these things make me question my own self-confidence.

K, you guys may not get me. That's okay. I'm quite upset.

[Grace]

^ I think you're right about her. But I think she knows what she's doing now and she knew what she was doing when she married Alex. You never know how long love lasts. And IMO there's no difference between 15 months or 15 years. So yeah, don't question your self-confidence!

[emmafdz88]

im very sad too, she appear en Ellen said that tyer are fine but
really its a big new and sad it unexplain
becase she looked very in love I dont undestard why
but we need to demostred that we are with her and always suported her!

Im hope that they have a second chance but well if they decided that its ok!

Kate we love you!!


im so sad

[addisons_whore]

I actually don't think they have a second chance. They wouldn't divorce if they wanted a second chance, they would just split up or go on a break. This is more serious than that. I don't think they'll ever get together again.

[saci]

When they got married, I thought they would stay together forever because Kate always seems to know what to do and how to do the right thing, I love her self-confidence and this is weird but all these things make me question my own self-confidence.

K, you guys may not get me. That's okay. I'm quite upset.

I think I know what you mean. It's kinda like that for me too. They were so sure when they got married, the whole "You know it when you know it" thing and everything. And I kinda do believe in these kind of things but now it's like I'm wondering if you can ever be really sure. Seems like that's not the case.
But anyway, I'm glad that I'm over being sad. Divorce will always be a very sad thing IMO, but they had a great time together and it just didn't work out the way they wanted it to. Sadly that happens all the time.

[emily121]

^ Of course you can't ever be sure. It's the same with anything in life. The majority of people don't get married thinking they aren't with people they will spend the rest of their lives with (although I am sure a couple do). But it's the same with all relationships, when you are in the relationship you don't see it ending, most of the time and that person to you is amazing but when you are out of the relationship you look back at it with an entirely different perspective. It's just life. Alex and Kate weren't the perfect relationship either.

[AddisonLove]

Well the shit has hit the fan and now it will blow off the ceiling.
Here we go.....buckle your seatbelts...when are in for a lonnnnggg ride.

Trash Story Number 1 (http://www.starmagazine.com/kate_walsh_david_sutcliffe/news/14989)

Do not believe this shit. Lets defend Kate's honor.

[Carrie1982]

Divorces are never interesting if a couple just grows apart. Of course the tabloids are going to go with the trashy stories, it's how they sell their magazines. It's Star Magazine, they are even worse than the National Enquirer.

[crazychica]

Star is just as bad as NE. I must say though, I kinda saw this story coming.

Anyways, I know some people have problems with the Star site, so I am posting in here what is on the site.

As they held each other at Katherine Heigl's 30th birthday party, no one could have thought anything was wrong between Kate Walsh and her husband of 14 months. "They were dancing up a storm, having a really good time together," one partygoer tells Star. "There were no signs that there was any trouble in paradise."

Yet just a week after Katherine's Nov. 15 bash at her mother's L.A. house, Kate and hubby Alex Young called it quits, according to divorce papers he filed in Los Angeles. So what went wrong in such a short time between the Private Practice star and her studio exec husband? We have the scoop in our Dec. 29 issue — on sale now!

Friends say one of the main reasons her marriage has gone south has been Kate's growing closeness with David Sutcliffe, the divorced hunk who plays her love interest on her Grey's Anatomy spin-off. As Kate's Dr. Addison Montgomery and David's character, cop Kevin Nelson, have grown closer since he turned up at her practice for a physical, so have the actors.

"Kate really likes David, and knowing that didn't help Alex's fragile ego," a friend of the actress says. "Kate and David had a real connection playing lovers on the show, and she didn't seem to have that with her own husband."

Pick up the new Star today to read about Kate and David's 16-hour days on the set (they spend a lot of time in his trailer!) as well as Kate's need for "constant male attention."

[AddisonLove]

1. Her and David dont have many scenes together. So he is not on set long at all.
2. Umm..he is not a regular cast member so David doesnt have trailler.
3. David is working on another project now and has been for awhile.

Srsly if Star wanted juicy story they should have said Kate and Kadee hooked up.

[Daisy_Petal]

Grrr :mad: it just makes me so ANGRY to read stories like that...HOW DARE THEY!!

Kate is going through a hard enought time as it is, a divorce is always difficult and no one needs bull like this published. Do these people have no shame? Do people take pleasure in reading rumours about someone who is going through a difficult time? It's sick!

Sorry, things like this really get me riled up...poor Kate, you're in my prayers and good luck. xxx

[HelterSkelter]

I must say though, I kinda saw this story coming.

Same here. It's an easy tabloid story to explain a breakup - working long hours on a set with a single male co-star. I feel for Kate (& David), but there are worse stories they could have invented, so whilst it's embarrassing, it's nothing out of the ordinary. They could have run a similar story a couple of months back.

[AddisonLove]

Sorry, things like this really get me riled up...poor Kate, you're in my prayers and good luck. xxx
Oh dont worry it does me too. Its sick people taking pleasure and well money from people's pain and difficult times.

It is BullShit.

However, if Star goes to far, Kate will take their money.

[sexysassy971]

"Tcchhhiiiiipppppp"

Aww gossips mag= Liars.

[crazychica]

However, if Star goes to far, Kate will take their money.

I highly doubt she has any sort of grounds for defamation in this case, rumored affairs are in the tabloids every week. Now if they had run that other story that would have been grounds for defamation (and probably would have been something that she would have threatened taking action on because of how much worse it is than this).

Even if Kate knows about this/is going to find about this, she will just shrug it off. What else is she supposed to do? She sues them or issues a statement saying it is not true then it it draws way more attention to it (and I am pretty sure her publicist was called and asked for comment before they ran the story and of course gave them the obligatory "no comment"), and then she has to go to Court and prove this is not true (not saying that it is, but we can only assume it is false). JMO.

[hangfire]

That just points to Alex watching 2.06, the episode that aired just before Nov. 22, and doing a big scene. I even more convinced she kicked him out, after that, and he filed for divorce to get the upper hand.

Kate deserves an Emmy for 2.06.

[mspivey2]

Yup I saw this one coming too. I really doubt that Kate will do anything except shrug it off. I don't really see her as the suing mad type but who knows. Its just a stupid story.

[AddisonLove]

So are you saying you believe this trash? LOL. Because that is what you are implying. Bashing Alex is not going to help this situation. Kate asked for respect for both of them. As her fans we should do that.

WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. PERIOD.

We also need to stay out of it and not make things worse. Trashing will not help.

[katewalshfan92]

I'm shrugging this one completely off. Totally false, I don't see Kate as the type of person that would commit adultery. I like reading magazines but I hate Star, it's so childish&false it actually makes me laugh. Anyways, kate&alex are still in my prayers.

[kimmy1987]

Yeah...this story actually make me laugh too...it's so made up!
And the "friend" thing ...c'mon...it would have been more believable if they had written a source...none of her friends would tell things like that!

[Addiekate]

"Kate really likes David, and knowing that didn't help Alex's fragile ego," a friend of the actress says. "Kate and David had a real connection playing lovers on the show, and she didn't seem to have that with her own husband."

yeah right a friend of kate is gonna say that crap!!!???
This is bullshit!

[AddisonsAnatomy]

^I totally agree with Angie. It's a bunch of Bullshit.

[kimmy1987]

I've just found this...http://jezebel.com/5112554/this-week-in-tabloids-jilted-wives-jingle-bells--the-return-of-jlo
Moving on: Life & Style talks with Kate Walsh of Grey's Anatomy fame about her divorce from Alex Young, her husband of 15 months. Here's the "exclusive interview" in its entirety: "At the moment, for obvious reasons, I don't want to talk about my relationship with Alex or our divorce."

I don't understand if there is an actual interview on the mag and this is just her statement about the divorce or if there's no interview and just the statement...

[crazychica]

They probably called her publicist and asked for a comment and got told that. It is pretty much Kate's way of saying no comment.

[kimmy1987]

yeah I get that... I just thought that maybe there was an actual interview in it (about Kate,,,not about the divorce of course)and the comment was just part of it...

[hangfire]

No Jamie I don't believe this thrash, and you of all people know it.
From that article the only 2 verifiable pieces of information is that article are
1) they were together at KH's party
2) he was out a week later.

That the article has one serious flaw, I don't see a guest having his own trailer when they don't even give the regulars at GA their own trailers...

Another piece we know looking at a schedule is that 2.06 aired in between.

What you don't know is my track record with abusive relationships. I know that it does not need to be true for a guy bent on having a fight to believe it and start one.

[crazychica]

Update: A rep for Walsh exclusively tells PerezHilton.com, "There is no truth to this at all. The Star never called us for comment."

LOL, funny.

[emily121]

Kate would know this kind of thing would be coming out. She is a big girl. At least it's not the AA stuff that would cause her family more troubles, at least it's just about her and Alex (well and David Sutcliffe) but by far better than bringing out loads of personal issues.

That 'interview' with Kate will just be that comment. She says it all there, she isn't going to talk about it. Which of course she wouldn't anyway. Especially while it is still going through the courts.

I don't really understand why abusive relationships are being brought up. Thats totally irrelevant. Nothing, not even rumours have implied anything to do with that.

[AddisonLove]

I don't really understand why abusive relationships are being brought up. Thats totally irrelevant. Nothing, not even rumours have implied anything to do with that.
Agreed.

[BabyWonder7]

Star = Bullshit... which has already been stated so I really don't need to comment anymore. This is round one of all of the crap that's going to be coming, just be prepared and make sure you stick up for our girl. Just try to do it without drawing attention to it all. :)

[Stormira]

Lol, that's pretty funny.

Constant Male Attention


I guess the lesbians who dig her are out then....

But it would be so sad if anyone actually believed that crap.

[Mien84]

I actually don't really feel like commenting on that crap. We know it's just rumours and the people who actually do believe that shit... well, it's their own problem.

I'm sure Kate is standing above all of this.

[saci]

God that's just so freaking stupid, I can't believe it. But it was clear that the tabloids would start writing these kind of stories sooner or later.

[Grace]

Yup, and seriously how often do you hear rumors about 2 actors who play a love couple becoming a real couple?! I mean they always write that and now it was even more obvious that they would write it because of the divorce... *yawn* old story... adn I'm sure Kate won't care about this cause she's got enough going on dealing with her real life and not the stupid stuff these magazines make up...

[AddisonLove]

Yup, and seriously how often do you hear rumors about 2 actors who play a love couple becoming a real couple?!
Word. Because sadly people can not separate fiction from reality.

[katewalshfan92]

okay, so i went to walgreens today because i needed to get a few things. Kate&Alex were like a side thing on Star. So I read it and it was just a bunch of crap. Saying that kate liked david, and that alex had a weak ego. I started laughing. All this is a bunch of crap.

[crazychica]

^ We know, this is what we have been discussing for the last 4 pages.

[Carrie1982]

I got my People Magazine in the mail today. They had a one page article about Kate's divorce. It basically just said that the split came as a surprise and there was no word as to why the split. It also mentioned that she was working on the Grey's set December 12 and 13. It was a nice respectful article that reported the news, but didn't go into the trashy rumors.

[crazychica]

Thanks.

People is not a trashy tabloid, I would have expected as much from them :)

[emily121]

Thank you. Good to know they just went with the standard story :)

[katewalshfan92]

Yeah, I love People they are always telling the true story, and decide not to tell rumors.

[Erin]

It also mentioned that she was working on the Grey's set December 12 and 13

Ooooh, are they shooting the crossovers already?

[AddisonLove]

Thanks Carrie. I knew People would be nice.

I will have a full magazine report tom on all of it.

[Lyl]

thanks you
finally some magazine about stars where they don't write another stupid rumors. I read People online sometimes so I'm glad that they are not so rude

hoho thanks for GA news

[princessbean]

Us weekly has a page write up too. I don't know about them, kinda somewhere between people and star i guess. Anyways it says that those "close" to them aren't suprised and that they dhave been on the rocks for a very long time, they bicker constantly, but is was never about anything. They were more suprised by their decision to get married in the first place, It was never happy and blissful for them; their personalities are very different, she's mellow and down-to-earth and he's very moody. It goes on to say that another "confidant" says kate has been a total mess the last few weeks, she was fighting to keep them together, but he just wanted out, and she has been breaking down and making everyone on set miserable. now that it's official she's relieved now that it's just done.


-if that is at all true, why would they have gotten married if they were never blissful and happy and always bickered??? they seemed happy, no obligation to get married right?

discuss!

[emily121]

If you take out that surprised they got married in the first place line, I wouldn't find the rest of it unbelivable. I think they definitely have different personalities for sure, thats always been obvious. I think it actually seems pretty likely.

[crazychica]

They seemed happy because that was the image they presented, outward appearances mean nothing IMO, we don't live in their house so we really don't know. Honestly, I think they just rushed into this thing way too fast when they were still in the clouded by new love state, and once that settled it turned out they weren't so compatible really (they always struck me as complete opposites).

I buy some of it (cuz it does say some things which I thought), not all of it, US is not flat out trash, they tend to be more in the middle.

[emily121]

^ITA I truely believe you can't know someone in less than a year, and I think their problem was they just rushed into it before the annoying things would become annoying.

[addiekatefan]

This article doesn't surprise me. It's true they just seem like total opposites and that once all the hoopla and fuss of the wedding was over they just realized they weren't right for each other.

[Carrie1982]

I buy some of it (cuz it does say some things which I thought), not all of it, US is not flat out trash, they tend to be more in the middle.
I agree. For the most part, Us tends to be correct on things. Not that they don't do their share of spinning things, but I'm sure that is probably close to the truth.

[Kateislove]

I agree, I believe some of that, US is normally in between People and Star with the truth but still, you never really know. I kind of saw Kate and Alex as complete opposites myself, but still some opposites do attract.

[Heffalump]

What suprises me the most that almost no one said before that they thought they were rushing things, now everybody seems to think they did...
That they have diffrent personalites is kinda obvious, Kate is an actress and Alex is a producer. and the fact Alex is a producer makes me believe that they really were happy those time they had interviews together. Playing and pretendning that everything is all rainbows when it's not is hard, unless you're a actor/actress.

[emily121]

^People said it all the time. If you go back and look at the blogs people made a big point about how quickly they were doing it all and they were even asked about it in their interview. They rarely gave interviews together, I am sure they were happy on their wedding day and shortly after when the interviews were given. Their personalities are different not just because of their jobs, you can tell in their mannerisms.

[crazychica]

Playing and pretendning that everything is all rainbows when it's not is hard, unless you're a actor/actress.

Very subjective opinion, it comes easily to some people, and not so easily to others. I am very good at hiding my feelings when need be.

[AddisonLove]

I have the full report. I will scan later.

[Kateislove]

Agreed. I think the only time Kate said something about someone asking her if she was sure about marrying Alex was in the Wedding spread for OK magazine. But that was the only time I ever heard her say anything about someone doubting it. And that's not even really a doubtful comment about their relationship it was more less a concerned one? I don't know how to explain it. But I do think they truly do love one another and they tried to make it work but considering both of their personalities are different and they both work two completely different schedules, it can really strain a relationship.

I agree with Amanda. I myself can hide my feelings extremely well too. Kate's one of those people as well.

[princessbean]

true, i'm sure they tried, in a perfect world maybe it would have lasted, some blogger who writes things in relation to death said they leave behind two cats and two dogs with their names, and said too bad we never would have seen what they named their children, probably penelope cruz and antonio banderas!!! b/c lou diamond phillips and rosie perez (the dogs) ha! they would have had beautiful babies. ok i am going back to the real world now:)

http://candykirby.com/2008/12/11/relationship-obituaries-kate-walsh-and-alex-young/

[AddisonLove]

Ok I having problems with my scanner so I will type it up and hopefully get the scan up later.

From US Weekly

Kate Walsh Sudden Spilt

After Only 15 months, Kate Walsh's marriage has flatlined. The Private Practice star's husband, film exec Alex Young, 37, filed for divorce on December 9, citing irrececonilable differences. "The couple remain on friendly terms," the duo said in a joint statement three days later. Perhaps, but those close to the actress, 41, aren't surprised by the news. "They have been on the rocks for a long time," a Walsh source tells Us. "They bicker constantly, but it was never about anything." The insider says that the pals of the pair who separated November 22 were shocked by their decision to get hitched in the first place than by the current news. (The execs said "I do" in September 2007 with a lavish fete in Ojai, California, after a whirlwind courtship.) "It was never happy and blissful for them, their personalities are very different," says the source, "She's mellow and down-to-earth, he's very moody."

How she's coping. So far, Walsh, who once called Young "the most amazing man I've ever met," has been taking the break up pretty hard says another confidant. "She's been a total mess the last few weeks. She was fighting to keep them together, but he just wanted out," says the pal, adding that it's even affecting her work on ABC drama. "She's been breaking down and making everyone on the Practice set miserable." Now, with the split official, friends hope Walsh will begin the healing process. Says the friend, "She's relieved now that it's just done."

Caption: "The last few months has been awlful" the insider says of the star)

I think they loved each other obviously. I think they still do. I also think that Kate's work and his work did not help and was probaly the main cause.

All the mags say pretty much the same thing about the split and that Kate is pretty devastated (expected). The Star magazine was the only trashing of her.

The NE did a sad report about the breakup and the shows falling ratings. Very sad.

Ill try to get other scans up later.

[amandaplease]

I put the People & Us articles in the mag scans thread (http://katewalshaholics.com/showpost.php?p=23164&postcount=394).

[Lyl]

oh god I didn't know it was so bad. Now I feel more sorry for them :(. poor Kate, she has been always so fun-loving, kind and now she makes people feel bad on PrP set? I hope it's going to be ok.

[kimmy1987]

I think it's normal for Kate to be not ok...and even devasted...and maybe to still love him even knowing they can't be together...and the same for him...it's not like you can stop loving a person from one day to another...
Anyway...the most important thing is that Kate has people that will help her....and that she'll be ok eventually.

[addisons_whore]

Oh no that was so sad to read that. I thought that she was like "alright just do it" or something like that when Alex told her he wanted to divorce. I didn't think she was fighting for their relationship. Glad to read that she's relieved now. I want my crazy Kate back!

[Kateislove]

Aw, that's so sad that she was really fighting for them to stay together it's clear that she really did love Alex and still does. Of course, a part of Kate will always love him and I'm sure the same goes for Alex. Everytime I saw them together I could see how much they both loved one another.

I can't imagine how she feels right now knowing that they can't be anything more than just friends, its got to be horrible. They had such great chemistry, at least that's what I thought.

[AddisonsAnatomy]

Thank you! Oh wow they are already shooting the crossover episodes? Very cool.

[passion]

.___. Whenever I think of their divorce, the flashback scene from Grey's with Addison and Derek pops into my head.

[katewalshfan92]

.___. Whenever I think of their divorce, the flashback scene from Grey's with Addison and Derek pops into my head.

:wonky: yeah

[saci]

Thanks for the article.
That makes me so sad. :(

[addisons_whore]

Well I don't think they'll be friends. I mean, that's just stupid. I've never heard that a couple who divorced could actually remain a friendship because:
1. One of them hates the other person
2. One of them is still in love with the other person

You can't just end a marriage and say hi like the person never meant anything to you. JMO.

[addiekatefan]

I think that opinion is very subjective. There could be many more divorce case situations that don't fall under either of those two premises. And personally, I think that we don't even know Kate and Alex so we can't really say if they if they are/will be friends or not.

[addisons_whore]

Yeah I know that. I only replied to someone's post above. And I'm not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE to be friends after a divorce, but I've just never met anyone who could actually done it. But it doesn't mean that it NEVER EVER happens.

[Teelke]

Yeah I agree, well sure sometimes it can totally be like you said Sophie but on the other hands there are lots of other cases where people still love them but they aren´t in love anymore and I belive that most of the time when it comes to a divorce it takes two.

Even my parents okay my mom fell in love with another guy sure my dad was pretty mad at her or whatever but they still talk to eachother and I don´t belive that they hate eachother.
I still like to belive that you will always love a person you might not be in love but you will still love the person.

[addisons_whore]

Yeah I agree with you, Teelke. All I can say is, I hope they won't hate each other. That would suck big time :(

[crazychica]

Well I don't think they'll be friends. I mean, that's just stupid. I've never heard that a couple who divorced could actually remain a friendship because:
1. One of them hates the other person
2. One of them is still in love with the other person

You can't just end a marriage and say hi like the person never meant anything to you. JMO.

Very subjective opinion. IMO none of us know Kate and Alex and have no clue why the marriage ended aside from the rumors we have read in the mags, so really I don't think you can make such assumptions when none of us know anything about what their relationship was like, or on what note it ended.

[Addiekate]

I do know couples that get divorced and then after some time they stay as friends.
My aunt and his ex as an example.

So much Word.

We don't know Kate and Alex. We don't know what their relationship was like. We don't know the reasons for the split. For that matter, we don't even know Kate. Period.

[satinestar]

^ ITA with the bunches of you above me. I definitely know people who are actually better off as friends than as married couples and they get along just fine. But who knows if that's the case with Kate and Alex, and frankly it's not really our business as much as we adore one or the other.

[emily121]

Well I don't think they'll be friends. I mean, that's just stupid. I've never heard that a couple who divorced could actually remain a friendship because:
1. One of them hates the other person
2. One of them is still in love with the other person

You can't just end a marriage and say hi like the person never meant anything to you. JMO.

Yeah I know that. I only replied to someone's post above. And I'm not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE to be friends after a divorce, but I've just never met anyone who could actually done it. But it doesn't mean that it NEVER EVER happens

The thing that confuses me is that is almost exactly what you did say, you say you have never heard of it and you think it is stupid and then you backtrack to say it's not impossible, but that is exactly what you implied.

Anger and hate are 2 entirely different emotions, barely any break up or divorce is as clear cut as the 2 points you gave, and I highly doubt this one is. Look at the affection that was there at time, there is clearly some love still there from both parties regardless of who filed for what. They may be angry at each other but thats a far cry from hating someone. And I don't know about you but my friends mean something to me, friendship isn't a case of saying hi and it not meaning anything. I doubt Kate and Alex will be the best of friends, well at least not right now, but I imagine they will always care for each other in some ways and thus will remain 'friends' of sorts. But at the same time we have no idea either way and why should we, and I doubt at this time Kate and Alex have any idea either.

Why is it stupid for them to be friends?
I think that a friendship with someone you were once married to isn't going to be quite the same as your best friend you've known since grade school, but it's definitely possible.

Also, I agree with Emily-- a friendship hardly means the person never meant/means anything to you. My friends are extremely important to me, and while it's different from a romantic thing, it's hardly nothing.

[kwfanrox]

oh mi god! i can't believe it! i'm shock:eek:, i was with my sister all this week coz i'm a new aunt! :pajaja so i didn't know it! poor kate i just hope:( she has all her family and friends arround her, i support kate, we love you kate! cheer up.:)

[Heffalump]

it's very possible for ex's to be friends... my dad is friends with almost all his exes, my parents are also friends and me,my mom and my step dad celebrate most holidays and eat dinner with my step brothers mom and her boyfriend pretty often. and go on vaccation with them.

Edit: Also I think being not atleast on speaking terms with your exes, unless someone cheated or you like hated eachother, is a really bad trait. cause just because you don't are together, you loved that person and were friends with the, you don't need to hate them. So don't back talk your exes unless they were a-holes.

So there was a small article in WHO Magazine, January 5, 2009.


THE SPLIT: Kate Walsh and her husband of just over a year, Alex Young, were all smiles as they arrived for a night of dinner and dancing at Tao Las Vegas nightclub on Nov. 8. Asked how married life was treating her, Walsh, 41, replied without hesitation: “It’s been fantastic!” One month later, the fantasy ended. On Dec. 9, Young, 37, filed for divorce from the Private Practice star, claiming they separated two weeks after that Vegas evening.
THE AFTERMATH: “The couple remain on friendly terms,” Walsh’s rep said in a statement, but no-one’s saying why the whirlwind romance went bust. Introduced to Walsh in February 2007, Young popped the question in May and they married on Sept. 1 in the Californian town of Ojai, with many of her Grey’s Anatomy co-stars as guests. So it was fitting that on Dec. 12 and 13, Walsh was back at work on the Grey’s set, filming crossover episodes – and perhaps leaning on those very same co-stars for some support.


Accompanied by a Photo of the pair. (The one with Kate in a brown leather jacket with her engagement ring hand on Alex's chest.)

Anna aka kimmy1987 pointed out to me that there might be some confusion about what happened in this thread this morning.

Someone posted about a blog entry which was about the divorce on myspace saying that it is Kate´s myspace but it was a fake just like so many other ( it was using a press picture and there were alot of language errors in it )

I didn´t want that post to turn into a discussion about wheather or not Kate has a myspace so I deleleted it.

PS: I hope that it is more clear now

[mägggi]

uhm i didnt quite get that teelke but i suppose it doesnt matter;)
soooo i just bought the german "in touch" because it has a little picture of kate looking sad on the first page and a big article about many stars like paris hilton and kate being alone on christmas
they're pretty much pulling the same crap as american magazines that kate is devastated and that friends say that they married too fast and that alex noticed that he didnt know his wife and she needed too much attention and likes to be in the spotlight
unfortunately i dont have a scanner so i cant post it maybe some of the other germans around here can
there is a foto of a van leaving the house(with alexes stuff) and the one of kate with the red bog flower and another one
but she looks pretty sad on all of them

Thanks for taking care of that Teelke. As if Kate would make a myspace, have it public, and make a blog entry about her divorce, Puh-fucking-lease. Whoever made that fake myspace is one sad individual who needs to get a life.

End of discussion.

[addisons_whore]

^LOL, how could that person think that fans will actually believe that's Kate's myspace? Some people just have too much free time. POUT.

[AddisonLove]

Kate has filed (http://www.tmz.com/2008/12/24/kate-walsh-it-was-over-before-you-thought/)

She is saying the date of separation is Nov 17th. Ok.

[emily121]

Interesting. She obviously wasn't happy with what he said. Doesn't look like it's going to be a simple divorce. Christmas Eve too, he must have pissed her off.

[addiekatefan]

That's strange..

[mspivey2]

^ I thought the same thing Emily!
I wonder what difference it makes though. Anyone know why it would be important for her to change the date of separation?

[Carrie1982]

I know it's none of our business, so I'll just ask as a general question and not relating to Kate. Why would both people file for divorce? I always thought one filed and they both just had to agree on the terms.

[satinestar]

Man, I hope this doesn't get ugly, but it sounds like it might.

[AddisonLove]

I think it is strange too. Is she counter suing? Or whatever it is called.

[emily121]

Well I know in England if someone disagrees or they want to accuse someone of something, they can counter sue, so they can file to be the petitioner and not the respondent, but in England even when you say irreconciable differences you have to prove one of five points I think it is regarding these differences. However in California it is different in that there is a no fault divorce, so you basically just say irreconcilable differences and the court does not consider whose fault it is regardless of who files for divorce. So the only difference in this seems to be the separation date. She seems to have taken issue with that?

It seems like this divorce is going to get very ugly.

[princessbean]

it's all very upsetting, it may have been naive for me to hope the would reconcile especially because of christmas and work it out but at least have it be a civil divorce, what went so wrong???!!! sad, sad news:(

[AddisonLove]

it may have been naive for me to hope the would reconcile especially because of christmas
me too.

[dana]

That puts the date of separation like right before the Kimmel(& Ellen?) interview. (Unless they film those way in advance..?) Ouch. I know she's an actress, but she just seemed so totally normal and put together. Oh, Kate :(

[emily121]

Ellen was done before the separation, Kimmel 2 days after. Yep she does hold herself together pretty well, but I think most people would in that kind of situation. Definitely a tricky time to have interviews though, in terms of them asking about Alex.

[crazychica]

Man this is so her final fuck you to Alex, waiting until Xmas Eve? Jese he sure did piss her off. This is so not amicable.....gah I love her.

She is counter sueing, and contesting the date of separation, well now she has to prove to the Court that her date is right, and his is not. Looks this divorce is probably gonna get ugly.

[sexysassy971]

Kate has filed (http://www.tmz.com/2008/12/24/kate-walsh-it-was-over-before-you-thought/)

She is saying the date of separation is Nov 17th. Ok.


W.H.A.T.????:confused:

[princessbean]

if you notice in the kimmel interview the only thing she says about him is that he didn't mind or whatever in regards to the pin up book. i am really wondering what happened, seems like they are both trying to hurt eachother/get back at one another which is sad, but is indifference worse??? i like them together:( say it ain't so!

In addition! what a crappy christmas even if it's better that they are apart! how miserable and unenjoyable even if you have family and trying to make the best of it. poor kate:( and alex:( just remember how happy and in love you were and fight for your marriage!!!

[kimmy1987]

OMG! I didn't expect this...it seems like it wont' be simple...

[Grace]

Man this is so her final fuck you to Alex, waiting until Xmas Eve? Jese he sure did piss her off. This is so not amicable.....gah I love her.

That's what I thought, too. And I so don't blame her. I mean falling in love, marrying, having a great time, probably having a crap time and then divorce... all within a small amount of time... that's a lot of emotions, too within that little time, so I guess being all reasonable and friendly does not always work out. I wouldn't be surprised if it would get "ugly" but for me that's kinda understandable...

[Carrie1982]

He must have really pissed her off for her to file like that on Christmas Eve. Gotta love Kate!

[BabyWonder7]

Interesting... that's all I'm gonna say. (For now)

Looks like it's definitely going to get a little ugly.

[Addyette]

uh ok... that's weird!
I so wished it was an amicable divorce :( but seems like Alex really pissed her off if she demands the date of separation to be another one... sad

[princessbean]

the latest rumors are that he is gay and left her for his college roommate?! so we have 1) she cheater w/ her co-star 2) he cheated/sexy texts 3) the got married too soon/different personaities 4) shes gay 5) he's gay 6) both are gay the marriage was just a cover

thats just about everything i have heard so far... ridiculous

[emily121]

^ Latest rumours link (http://perezhilton.com/2008-12-26-kate-ends-it-sooner)

Can't call it ridiculous yet who knows if its true. The sham marriage rumours have been about for ages, so thats nothing new. The new rumous are pretty damn funny though.

[sexysassy971]

:lol: That's so ridiculous! :lol:

I prefer wait kate talk about that, so I don't believe it, but damn!!!:lol: That's folk!!!:lol:

[kimmy1987]

yeah...these rumors are pretty funny!!!

[Addiekate]

OMG hahaha this is getting so interesting!
Lol to the part of the title : he likes musicals hahaha

[princessbean]

yeah it's just ridiculous there are so many different ones, who knows what the truth is? or which rumor is the real deal!? still sucks for her though

[Carrie1982]

Sometimes I think if I were a celeb I'd totally go public with the exact reason I divorced just to shut people up! And Kate does not seem like the person that would hide that she is gay.

[Addiekate]

I dont think she would hide it either.
She is very open minded.

[addisons_whore]

1) she cheater w/ her co-star 2) he cheated/sexy texts 3) the got married too soon/different personaities 4) shes gay 5) he's gay 6) both are gay the marriage was just a cover
LOL I was laughing so hard while reading that! :lol:


I've got a question. Don't shoot me, but...
Why did the mysterious friend say that Kate was fighting to make them stay together if she was the one who filed first?

That just makes no sense at all. And looks like people didn't like the rumours with Kate getting too close with David, they didn't go "oh, really?!", most of them said "oh okay fiiine, that's just someone's imagination. It didn't work. So they've come up with Alex being gay. Cheap tricks.

[emily121]

I've got a question. Don't shoot me, but...

One thing about tabloids and these rumours to be fair, they are not facts. The 'friends' aren't 'friends', thats a load of shit that tabloids use. When they say 'friends' just subsititute it for another word because they are not friends. Kate did not file first either. Alex filed first. Kate counterfiled. So she filed after contesting (disputing) the separation date, she thinks it was different she put in her own papers, afterwards. And she may have been fighting for the marriage and therefore she did this as revenge cos she was pissed off. Or that part of the tabloids was a load of crap.

[addisons_whore]

Yeah I was 100% sure Kate didn't file first. That's the total opposite of what we've heard so far.
It sucks that we don't know what to believe and what not to. Not like I want to know the truth about the divorce, I don't really care. It happened, still horrible, but life goes on. People should just drop this. And IF it's true, I understand that she put her own papers too. No it's not right but that's how our minds work.

[crazychica]

And Kate does not seem like the person that would hide that she is gay.

As sad as it is to say, I don't think Kate would come out if she was indeed a lesbian, why? It is not a matter of being ashamed, it is a matter of her not wanting to deal with all the judgy judgers out there who would judge her, and probably end up ruining her career.

Let's face it in Hollywood if you are lesbian it is a lot harder than if you are a gay man IMO (even though it is still hard for Gay men, just look at how long TR hid the fact that he was gay). Women tend to play the wife or mother roles, and if they out themselves it is harder for them to get said roles because it is hard for people to differentiate between who they are in their personal lives, and the character they are playing. JMO.
