Hilary Duff Is Getting Divorced

After three years of E! exclusively preening and fawning every waking loving romantic moment of the Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie Hollywood magical marriage, it's over. Up until two days ago, the P.R. shill news outlet was still reporting the incredible love affair between the actress and her retired hockey playing boyfriend:

The 26-year-old beauty was spotted enjoying a romantic day in the park with her husband in Beverly Hills, Calif., where she was seen beaming from ear-to-ear as Comrie presented her with a giant leaf.... Duff appearing happy as ever as she hung with her hunky man.

For the record, Hilary wore a burgundy sweater and trendy tennis shoes. Mike wore the scent of his mistress on his collar. Now, the sad break up news from the couple's P.R. rep unfiltered to the jugheads at E!:

They remain best friends and will continue to be in each other's lives. They are dedicated to loving and parenting their amazing son, and ask for privacy at this time.

Making your life story completely public remains the single best way to ask for privacy. Apparently, the couple merely drifted apart, as is apt to happen two long days since being happy as ever. Three years and one kid remains the average life expectancy of a Hollywood marriage, lesbians included.
