BREAKING: Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard BREAKUP. Indie Rock's Royal Couple heads 2 SPLITSVILLE


Recently, Kim Kardashian broke up with Kris Humphries. Recently, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore got divorced. It seems like all relationships are ending, which is why no1 is surprised that Deathcab for Cutie frontman Benjamin Gibbard and Zooey Deschanel are 'effing over.' Splitsville. Dunzo. Love WILL NOT keep them 2gether.

Not sure if every1 saw this coming 'from a mile away.' Ben Gibbard's music has admittedly suffered in the Deschanel era. Zooey has become 'obsessed with fame', launching a content farm called Hello Giggles AND a Fox bro-comedy TV series "New Girl." There's no way they had time 2 spend with one another, especially because of the baseball playoffs, which Ben Gibbard enjoys watching. U sorta have to feel bad for the indie bro at Gibbard's heart, but at the same time, u think 'Maybe his songwriting will recover.' I wonder how he feels being in the center of this 'massive celebrity breakup.'

Just two years after tying the knot, Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard have separated, Deschanel's rep confirms to Us Weekly.

"It was mutual and amicable," a source adds. "There was no third party involved."
