While Deschanel and Pechenik have been separated for months, they just went public with their breakup on Sept. 6. “After much discussion and a long period of contemplation we have decided we are better off as friends, business partners and co-parents rather than life partners,” a rep for the couple said in a joint statement. “We remain committed to our business, our values and most of all our children. Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time.”
Before Pechenik, Deschanel was married to the lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Gibbard, while Scott was previously wed to airline crew scheduler Kelsy Ully.
