Must have been love, but it’s over now

From the rumour mill comes word (and plenty of schadenfreude) that the union of tv personality Star Jones and Al Reynolds has come undone:

Nearly three and half years after they swapped “I dos” at their corporate-sponsored wedding, Star Jones and Al Reynolds are calling it quits. The National Enquirer reports the legal diva sent Al his walking papers a month ago.

A rep for Jones says the report is false, but the Enquirer goes on to say, “They hadn’t been seeing eye to eye for months and had already spent a great deal of time apart,” a friend of the couple told the Enquirer. “Finally, Star decided it was over. She told Al at the end of January that he had 30 days to get his act together or ‘get out.’”…

The Enquirer spoke to another insider who confirmed the breakup and revealed Star’s intention to make it permanent. “Star is planning to divorce Al.” As for reason behind the split, the source added, “I think Star felt Al had spent their marriage riding her success while she did all the heavy lifting. She resented it. Deep down, Star is a very old-fashioned woman who believes a man should support her emotionally, physically and financially. She now believes Al failed her.”

I must admit that this split did not hit me as hard as say, the sudden disintegration of Eddie Murphy’s “symbolic” marriage.  Despite reading about their intoxicatingly sexual connection, I’ve always had the feeling that this couple were mismatched in more ways than one.
