Alex Young, movie executive and husband to the "Private Practice" star, Kate Walsh, filed for divorce. Young and Walsh separated on November 22, 2008, just a little over a year into the marriage. Young cited irreconcilable differences for the divorce and asked the court not to award Walsh spousal support.

In a statement by Young and Walsh, it read, “Papers have been filed to amicably end the marriage of executive Alex Young, and actress Kate Walsh.” It continues, “The couple remain on friendly terms and sincerely hope the media will respect their privacy during this difficult time.”

The two met in Spring 2007 and got married in September 2007.

In an interview with Best Life magazine published in April 2007, Kate Walsh, talked about how life was similar to her character's life on "Grey's Anatomy" Dr. Addison Shepherd.

“Sometimes I feel like, ‘What am I doing? Am I becoming my character, or is my character becoming me?,’” she said. “I’m starting to get a little superstitious here. I definitely identify with my character in that, romantically at least, this is not where I thought I’d be at 39.”

She also felt torn between wanting to live a full life or to settle down. “I feel torn between having the time of my life and wanting very serious things, like a surplus of love for a family and all that,” the actress said. “But what’s in front of me right now is work. Often, I think it would have been so great if this success had happened when I was 27 or 28, but then again, I wouldn’t have had the maturity then to deal with it and not end up in rehab.”

I guess Kate Walsh chose to live life to the fullest.
