Jenna Fischer and James Gunn separate after seven years
This is just sad news: Office star Jenna Fischer and her husband of almost seven years, director James Gunn, are separating.
“We are sorry for any pain this causes family and friends,” the two said in a statement on Fischer’s MySpace page. “The enthusiasm we have expressed for each other’s lives, spirits and careers is real – we have been each other’s cheerleader and friend during the past six years and continue to be so now and in the future.”
The couple has no children.
In addition to playing Pam Beasley on The Office, Fischer co-starred in Gunn’s feature film directing debut, Slither, last year.
“We appreciate your support over the years,” the blog continues. “You might be tempted to make one of us ‘feel better’ by putting the other one down in a post. Please don’t – we still have the utmost respect for one another, and we’d have to delete you.
“We aren’t taking questions or doing interviews about this particular aspect of our lives. Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy."
