Happy, awkward holidays for Debra Messing and Daniel Zelman in the Big Apple.
Us Weekly broke news on Tuesday that the Smash actress, 43, and the actor-TV producer, 44, had separated after over ten years of marriage. "The decision was mutual," Messing's rep told Us in a statement. "They remain supportive of one another and committed to raising their son as a family."

How committed? A source told Us that the former couple "have been separated the better part of the year but continue to live together in New York for Roman," their 7-year-old son.
The family recently relocated from Los Angeles to NYC (where Messing and Zelman first met as NYU students), where she's been filming Smash, the buzzed-about new NBC series due in February.

The split is "very amicable," the source added.
Despite their secret separation, Messing and Zelman attended Bette Midler's Halloween bash in matching costumes -- and the former Will and Grace actress gushed in November to LilSugar about her family's holiday plans in NYC.

"We love to go skating at Wolman rink, and go see plays . . . Looking forward to putting on the snowsuit and stomping through Central Park."

10I am thinking this is bogus. It's not like either of them is poor and have to stay together. And, I know of only idiots who stay together for the sake of kids, who KNOW there is something wrong. Only option left is, this is bogus.
Wow, I didn't see this coming at all. Debra had such a smash hit with WILL AND GRACE and hasn't had anything really click since then. But sharing your residence with your signifigent other would be very taxing!
Try doing that in a 3-rm apartment. Yeah, the rich sure ARE different.
LMAO at the audacity of "Her Jewness" Pack you belongings and GTFO you lazy wench! sick
Putting your kid(s) first, that's how it's supposed to be. i have deep respect for them; they both handle the situation with greatness.
I don't know how I can go on living.
Who cares. She's not had any good movies in a long time.
my friend's sister-in-law makes $79 hourly on the computer. She has been out of a job for 9 months but last month her income was $7670 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read more here... http://1a98.ulinks.net
I thought I'd seen her without her wedding ring lately - and I thought something was up. And I was right, sad to say.
Wow- no tension in that household.
