"Gossip Girl" Kelly Rutherford Files for Divorce
This is not gossip but truth: Kelly Rutherford, who plays scheming Lily van Der Woodsen on the oh-so-hip Gossip Girl, has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Daniel Giersch.
Okay, you have to wonder what is really going on here. What provokes someone to get a divorce when you are three months pregnant? His baby is growing inside you for the next six months — clearly limiting your dating options — and you also have Hermes, your two-year-old son who carries the same man’s genes. Was it that he wiggled into someone else’s jeans and was unfaithful? It has to be pretty bad for Rutherford to want out at this moment of time. She certainly could have waited until she delivers her baby six months from now.
When she filed for divorce, Rutherford cited “irreconcilable differences,” according to TMZ. Some have wondered about the timing of this announcement. After all, her character on the hit series is a serial divorcess.
Will Rutherford now have the same complicated personal life as Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards?
It is so sad when children are involved in divorce — especially at such a young age.
Rutherford, who is 40, can also look on the bright side: at least she will have a sibling for her son Hermes. After a certain age, it is harder to get pregnant, and it’s not as though life partners are as plentiful as Prada sales at Saks. But obviously something has triggered her wanting a divorce from her German entrepreneur husband.
Rutherford is expected to be on the Gossip set in New York on Tuesday.
As we reported, in 2008, celebrity couples who divorced stayed together a year longer than the national average of 7.8 years, despite very brief marriages like Private Practice star Kate Walsh and SNL star Chris Kattan. But so far 2009 is starting out — thanks to Rutherford — with Hollywood couples divorcing without much history accumulated.
