    No more She and Him.

    The New Girl actress, 31, and Death Cab for Cutie frontman, 35, got married near Seattle, Wash. in late September 2009.

    In Deschanel's September cover story in New York magazine, Gibbard gushed about meeting and pursuing the star, who also fronts the band She and Him. "I'd seen her movies and obviously I thought she was very beautiful," Gibbard explained.

    When their mutual music manager finally introduced them three years ago, "I was just awestruck that she was even talking to me."

    Deschanel told iVillage that it was "definitely hard" being apart from her indie rocker guy when he was away on tour. "He's really good at calling. He's probably better than I am. He's a very conscientious person."

      She is and always has been such a cutie! Loved her in Elf. Her sister is great in Bones too.

      I'm actually surprised about this one, even though Hollywood doesn't last long. At least they lasted longer than Kim Kardashian.

      That's sad. I thought maybe they'd hang in there since they're more of a low profile couple who didn't milk their relationship for fame.

      Something about her makes me want to go out and kill a sabre toothed tiger and woolly mammoth and just lay the carcasses in front of her cave for her to approve of.

      Us guys love Zooey for many reasons and the list is too long for here so I'll just put it in a nutshell... she is the anti-Kardashian (hope you're paying attention to this, single ladies).

      This is funny, cuz I recently had a dream that her and I were going out and she was breaking up with me.

      Why do these Hollywood people even bother with marriage? They have no intention of honoring the vows. So sad to see people treat marriage like a throw away dish!

      Ben is one of my favorite lyricists! I guess he's about to channel his feelings into writing and make more amazing music. That's the only bright side to this, I suppose.

      This is why i don't want to get married. So many people end in divorce. I have been with my man for 20 years with no plans of getting married.
