Got cucked by Greta Gerwig.


Baumbach met actress Jennifer Jason Leigh in 2001, while she was starring on Broadway in Proof. The couple married on September 2, 2005. They have a son, Rohmer, who was named after French director Éric Rohmer. Leigh filed for divorce from Baumbach on November 15, 2010, in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in September 2013.

Baumbach's romantic and creative collaboration with actress, writer, and director Greta Gerwig began late in 2011, after they met during the production of Greenberg (released in early 2010).


Bloody hell.

Greta is 21 (!) years younger than JJL. There is no way in hell a prime vs prime JJL is getting cucked by Gerwig. Aging is cruel.

Stop saying cucked!!!

How is it "cucking" if JJL filed for divorce from Baumbach two years before Baumbach met Gerwig?

reply

The divorce was filed in late 2010 due to 'irreconcilable differences'. Gerwig and Baumbach met during production of a movie released in early 2010, meaning they met during 2009.

Read between the lines here.


Do you think Baumbach and Gerwig knew each other for 2 years, just as friends, then just decided to get together a year after Leigh filed for divorce? It's clear they hit it of and probably had a fling which ended the Baumbach-Leigh marriage, then once that was out of the way they got together officially.

I don't know, but it's certainly a possibility. They weren't the only two on the whole production - there are hundreds of people involved in any movie.

For all we know, Baumbach may have been porking some other person or persons on the set while married to JJL and not Gerwig, then met up with Gerwig two years later after *that* affair ended.

The point is - we don't know what happened.

Probably a continuation of the task of killing all Germans. Few weapons do more damage than a marriage certificate.
