Uma. Ethan. Almost Over
The countdown is on for the official end to Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman's long-disintegrating union.
Lawyers for the A-list twosome, who have been uncoupled for nearly two years, appeared in a New York courtroom Wednesday and told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Saralee Evans that Hawke and Thurman were close to amicably finalizing their divorce.
"We're expecting everything to be fully settled by next month," Thurman's lawyer, Robert Stephan Cohen, told the New York Post following the hearing. No further information was divulged.
Hawke, 34, and Thurman, 35, met on the set of the sci-fi thriller Gattaca in 1996 and married in May 1998. It was the first marriage for him, second for her (she was previously wed to her Henry and June costar Gary Oldman).
By 2003, though, things had hit the skids, and their subsequent separation played out publicly in the tabs, with Hawke being linked to a 22-year-old Canadian model named Jennifer Perzow.
But Hawke has persistently denied his indiscretion as being the tipping factor. "The story of us breaking up over infidelity has been an annoying one," he told Details magazine last year. "If our problems were that simple, we'd still be together. Uma and I were having troubles long before the press got ahold of us."
And, in a 2004 interview with ABC's 20/20, Hawke suggested that family life (the couple have two children, Maya Ray, 6, and Levon Roan, 3) and Hollywood were mutually incompatible. "It is very difficult for any couple who are married if both people have--are ambitious," Hawke said. "I don't know if it's just too hard to be married to a woman that wants to be a movie star."
Thurman, who has taken up with hotelier Andre Balazs, 48, since separating from Hawke, echoed her estranged husband's sentiments. Speaking to People earlier this year, she said, "[Hawke] said to me the other day that I clearly was someone who wanted to be a full-time mother and still wanted to be an actress and that I kept insisting I could do it, but I couldn't...I don't know; I really try."
She added that balancing her career and maternal duties "is the big conundrum of my life. I've thought about quitting [acting] and I can't, because I love what I do so much."
In any case, with their marriage all but over for the better part of two years, the divorce proceedings finally began a few months ago.
Although their marriage has tanked, the couple's careers remain on solid footing.
Hawke picked up an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay for 2004's Before Sunset and will star in the action film Lord of War, due in October.
He could be going head-to-head with his ex, whose romantic comedy Prime, costarring Meryl Streep, is also being slated for a fall release. Thurman, who most recently appeared in the Kill Bill franchise and opposite John Travolta in the gangster comedy sequel Be Cool, has been working the big-screen version of Broadway's The Producers as sexy Swedish secretary Ulla (the film will be out Dec. 23). Next up is another romantic comedy, Accidental Husband, and a voice part in the Jerry Seinfeld-masterminded 'toon Bee Movie, due in 2007.
