And you thought they wouldn't last. Actually, you probably haven't thought about them at all, but Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride star Brendan Fraser, and his wife, Afton Smith ("Ursala's Friend" in George of the Jungle) are splitting after nine years. Nine years of marriage. In Hollywood years, that's like not getting divorced at all. People reports:

Brendan Fraser and his wife Afton, married since 1998, are going their separate ways.
The Mummy star, 39, announced through his publicist Wednesday that the couple are ending their marriage.

"They continue to maintain a close and caring friendship," representative Ina Treciokas said in a statement, the Associated Press reports.

The Frasers have three children: Griffin, Holden and Leland.

The Frasers also have five dogs: Centaur, Viking, Dumbledore, Shaemus O'Shanter, and The Guy At The End Of A Perfect Day For Bananafish Who Blows His Brains Out, The Dog Version. Flowers and condolences should be sent to the various trailers where the towering Canuck will be conducting his "Pounding 30 Starlets in 30 Days" tour.

So, does this mean she's not a beard? Or he's coming out? Beards don't divorce, do they? (Not that I ever heard gay rumors about him but I always thought he was too perfect to be straight.)

My question is - why does this need to be announced at all?
