Just as we were on a high note hearing that Michael Douglas and Catherin Zeta Jones were not going to separate, we’re hit with sad divorce news.
According to UsWeekly, Josh Brolin and Diane Lane have decided to end their eight-year marriage. Reps for the couple have confirmed this saying, “Diane Lane and Josh Brolin have decided to end their marriage.”
A source close to the situation adds, “It was a mutual decision. It is very amicable. It’s not ugly, it’s just over.”
Brolin, 45, and Lane, 48, have no children together, so there’s one positive thing out of this news.
I’m guessing this decision just didn’t come out of nowhere, but part of me is thinking that Brolin’s drinking could have played a role in it. Just last month, on New Year’s Day, he was arrested for public intoxication in Santa Monica, though I believe no charges were filed. If you recall, back in 2010 he was arrested for some type of bar fight incident but those charges were dropped, and in 2004, just four months after the couple got married, he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery against Lane, though she never pressed any charges. You want to make a bet and say that alcohol played was also involved somehow when they had that nasty argument in 2004? I guess we’ll see. Sad to see these two split though.
