Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard Split Up

This isn't a good time to be part of a famous indie-rock couple: Just weeks after Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore announced they were separating, She & Him's Zooey Deschanel and Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard have split up, too.
Us Weekly reports the dissolution of the rock'n'roll union was "mutual and amicable," and a source told the magazine, "There was no third party involved." The pair got engaged in December 2008 and married in September 2009 near Seattle. Just a year ago, the two enjoyed the baseball postseason together; last week Deschanel returned to the MLB to sing the National Anthem solo.
