It was too good to be true. We invested too much, too soon, and today we cope the cold reality of this world: Michelle Williams and her husband, Phil Elverum of the band Mount Eerie, have separated. The Hollywood Reporter relayed the news. It was just last summer that Williams, making the very rare decision to open up about her personal life, confirmed she and Elverum got married in a mostly secret ceremony in the Adirondacks. Our hearts were healed by her candor with Vanity Fair.

But according to an unnamed source, Williams and Elverum made the “amicable” decision to separate earlier this year. Nothing is good, and we hope you all send your best thoughts to all parties involved at this time. And don’t be afraid to cry it out in that specific office bathroom you do all your private crying in.
