Giovanni Ribisi & Agyness Deyn divorce after 2 years of marriage: shocking?

Giovanni Ribisi

Sometimes I wonder what’s going on with a couple we haven’t heard about in months or a year. Then things feel uncanny when I hear about said couple divorcing a few days later. It’s like a sixth coupley gossip sense. Or perhaps a sixth divorce sense. Very surreal. I was thinking about Giovanni Ribisi (40) and Agyness Deyn (31) last week. And the results are not either good or bad, depending on how you feel about Scientology.

In June of 2012, Giovanni and Agy surprised the world by eloping at the LA County Registrar’s office. Of course Giovanni is famous not only for his acting but also for his second-generation CO$ status. Agyness isn’t widely known stateside, but she was a big “It-girl” model in England about five years ago. No one even knew these two were dating, and the nuptials seemed very impulsive. I wondered if Agy, who was raised Catholic, even knew what she was wading into. A few months passed, and Star started printing, “Oh crap, I married a hardcore Scientologist” stories. These two stuck it out longer that I thought possible. Much of Agyness’ energies were devoted to retiring from modelling and trying to launch an acting career, so she may have been distracted.

TMZ reports that the grand romance is over, and Giovanni was the one who filed. This was Agyness’ first marriage and Giovanni’s second trip down the aisle. He was formerly married to actress Mariah O’Brien (also a Scientologist). You know, these CO$ members are eventually trained to move Xenu and Earth, but they can’t keep their marriages intact. Just ask Tom Cruise.

Giovanni and Agy separated in late December, which means they stayed married for about 2.5 years. That’s two years longer than I expected. Run, Agyness. Run!
