I personally believe they are married. They took out a marriage license late last year and we have the photos of Heath with a wedding ring.

And I am also holding fast to the thought that they will be able to work things out. Yes, the romance was fast. Yes, they had a baby very quickly. That makes me think that there is a true love there and they will be able to "kiss and make up."

So call me a romantic optimist, I am hoping they get back together.

Aww, Leslie, I love that romantic, optimistic side of yours. And I hope you're right.

I hope you're right too.  God, imagine the papers posting when you and your husband have had a fight.  :(

This is indeed sad news.  I had hoped that Heath and Michelle would be the ones to defy the odds of most Hollywood relationships and have a "happily ever after" one.

I like Leslie's optimism, though.  Maybe some time apart is just what they need to realize they belong together.

All beautifully said, Scott, but it does make me wonder - maybe acting IS honoring the deepest part of Heath's heart.  Maybe that creative drive IS more powerful and important to him.

And if so, I don't think that makes him a lesser man.

Before someone can honor the deepest part of their hearts, they must know what that part is.

I don't believe that the 'deep part' is necessarily a relationship for everyone... for some people, perhaps, but not everyone...

just piping in with my 2 cents!

Leslie, resident romantic optimist, I am just curious - can you think of any celebrity couples that were on and off again, and endured??

I can't off the top of my head, but that doesn't mean all that much lol.

Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, maybe?  When I think of long standing couples I think of Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, and Kirk Russell and Goldie Hawn, and that's about it.

Just a random thought, but the measure of a relationship doesn't necessarily have to be the length of time the relationship endured, fwiw.

 :( in spite of what I have read, I remain a hopeful romantic - maybe they just 'untied the knot', but the bond
and the love are still there??   :'(

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward have been together for ages. Sam Shepard and Jessica Lange.

I think the couples that manage to make it work are the ones who stay out of the limelight. I think Heath and Michelle tried to do that...living in Brooklyn instead of Hollywood, for example. But they are young and certainly part of the reason someone is a "star" is because they want to be famous. And they are young and still in the fame and attention seeking mode.

I think it is a very hard job to find the proper balance.

Mel Brooks and the late Ann Bancroft were together for, what, a couple of decades, until Ann Bancroft died.

I just looked on IMDb.  From August 1964 to June 2005 (her death).  40 years and 10 months.  Wow.

We have a thread here where we talked about really long term couples (not necessarily famous).  Phillip and John are listed.  So are Pete and David.  :)  Does anyone remember where it is?

I remember that conversation. I don't know if it was its own thread, though. Maybe it is hidden somewhere else...like the 1000+ posts club?
