Jennie Garth's marriage to actor Peter Facinelli is over. Kaput, nada, no more. Despite Jennie's best efforts to keep her 11-year marriage intact, Peter filed for divorce, citing the ever-popular “irreconcilable differences.”
Peter has been best known as the character Dr. Carlisle Cullen, patriarch of the Cullen vampire clan from the “Twilight” series of movies based on the books by Stephenie Meyer. Filming for the four motion pictures took place in Vancouver and that caused a tremendous strain on his marriage to Jennie. Sadly, Jennie and Peter's three daughters, Luca, Lola and Fiona will suffer the collateral damage of yet another Hollywood marriage gone wrong.
The couple had tried therapy, though Jennie sadly admits that she wishes Peter would have tried harder. She does not believe the most recent rumors claiming Facinelli had been cheating on her.
It seems that Peter gave Jennie the opportunity to file for the divorce, allowing her the last dignity typically dictated in high-profile divorces, but Jennie still clung to the hope that she could make things work. Even with divorce papers in hand, she still believes there is a chance at reconciliation.
I like Jennie. She seems like a sweet woman and great mom. To have had an 11-year marriage in Hollywood is nothing short of a miracle and as she approaches her 40th birthday, and the release of a new reality show based on her life, “A Little Bit Country,” no doubt she is devastated.
Some (idiots) claim Jennie's reaction has been carefully staged to garner “sympathy” for her reality show. I believe Peter, whose fame had finally eclipsed that of the woman who had supported him quite well throughout the early years of their relationship, decided he no longer needed her, and wanted the freedom to move on to greener and younger pastures.
Cute picture! Is that a wig?? ;)
