Zooey Deschanel Divorce
Zooey Deschanel Divorce, New Girl star Zooey Deschanel is officially free of her old life. On Wednesday, Dec. 12, nearly a year after she filed for divorce from Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard, the 32-year-old actress finalized her split with the musician.According to Los Angeles Superior Court documents, Deschanel cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for ending her marriage. Neither she nor her ex-husband has spoken much about the breakup since, but just a few months before their separation, Gibbard gushed to New York magazine about meeting his wife for the first time.
"I'd seen her movies and obviously I thought she was very beautiful," he said of the She and Him singer. "I was just awestruck that she was even talking to me."
Alas, the New Girl already has a New Guy. In recent months, Deschanel has been stepping out with screenwriter Jamie Linden, who's behind the scripts for films including 10 Years, Dear John, and We Are Marshall.
"Jamie's a really nice guy," a source told Us Weekly earlier this year. "He's funny, and little geeky...he's into her!"
