59. Zooey Deschanel & Ben Gibbard


Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard’s relationship has long been buried in our collective memories. Let this remind you that there was once a time that they were a thing. In 2008, they began dating and got engaged that same year after nearly a year together. In 2009, they got married, and two years after, they legally separated with the help of their lawyers. The records of their split were made public when their separation was finalized in 2012. The former couple cited irreconcilable differences.

Since their separation, they have both since remarried and moved on with their lives. Gibbard, who is the frontman for the band Death Cab for Cutie, released an album called Kintsugi in 2015. Fans speculated that the album contained songs about the New Girl actress, which he confirmed, though he refused to name which songs were about her.
