The stunning split comes just three weeks after the couple and their two children traveled to Hawaii for the wedding of their close friend, Eddie Vedder.  The Pearl Jam frontman and model Jill McCormick married September 18, and the Dern-Harper family joined other celebs including Jack Johnson and Sean Penn for an almost week-long celebration in Honolulu.

Laura and Ben seemed the picture of happiness at the time.

What comes around goes around. You lose em as you get em. Sadly Dern is a compulsive serial homewrecker. She's probably already picked out her next victim who no doubt is currently wearing a wedding ring.

Ben's wife was pregnant, at the time he got with Dern. She also got BBT when he was married. She has a history of homewrecking, and as they say-KARMA'S A B&TCH Dern.

In fact, the Publicist was the one who announced Dern and BBT's split; before he married Jolie. But, on the subject on Dern; she has homewrecked TWICE. She got Ben Harper from his VERY-MARRIED and VERY-PREGNANT wife.

To allygirl11 and others, the rumour about BBT marrying Angelina whilst still with Dern - is BS! They were over long before he married Angelina; Dern's OWN PUBLICIST came out and said so.

Sad for Laura. Similar thing happened w/ Billy Bob. She came home from weekend to find him MARRIED to Angelina Jolie. No warning. They hadn't even broken up! Now this w/ Ben. Sounds like Ben found someone else.

I'm guessing that at the wedding they realized that they were missing that spark. Unhappy couples shouldn't go to weddings.

Disco me--> You seem to be either Ben Harper OR a close associate of his. It's extremely obvious you hate Laura and have a very one sided view here.

LOL I don't know Harper or his friends. I just said verifiable truths that you can check out. And I don't like or dislike Dern because I don't know her either. That is just common sense.

How nice that he didn't tell her he was filing for divorce. She had no clue. He's just a jerk. She's better off!

Wow, just in;

Brad and Jolie have just pulled the plug on ALL pictures of them on the property of the home in Budapest on Saturday.

They’ve shut down all media/blogs/papers and mags on those pictures…question is why?
