"Hipster heartbreak.\r\nJust two years after tying the knot, Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard have separated, Deschanel&amp;apos;s rep confirms to Us Weekly.\r\n&amp;quot;It was mutual and amicable,&amp;quot; a source adds. &amp;quot;There was no third party involved.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe New Girl actress, 31, and Death Cab for Cutie frontman, 35, got married near Seattle, Wash. in late September 2009.\r\nIn Deschanel&amp;apos;s September cover story in New York magazine, Gibbard gushed about meeting and pursuing the star, who also fronts the band She and Him. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;d seen her movies and obviously I thought she was very beautiful,&amp;quot; Gibbard explained.\r\n\r\nWhen their mutual music manager finally introduced them three years ago, &amp;quot;I was just awestruck that she was even talking to me.&amp;quot;\r\nDeschanel told iVillage that it was &amp;quot;definitely hard&amp;quot; being apart from her indie rocker guy when he was away on tour. &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s really good at calling. He&amp;apos;s probably better than I am. He&amp;apos;s a very conscientious person.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWhat surprised her most about marriage life? &amp;quot;You can&amp;apos;t expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding. It sort of just solidifies your commitment.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
