Zooey Deschanel is filing for divorce from Ben Gibbard, her husband of 2 years.

At this year's Emmys, Zooey and her Death Cab for Cutie husband look blissful.

A source close to the couple said the break up was amicable and mutual. There was no third party involved. The couple's representative also confirmed the split.

The couple was introduced to each other by their music manager and married in September 2009.

Zooey’s great-grandfather was former French President Paul Deschanel. Zooey went to high school in Santa Monica, California, where she was friends with Kate Hudson and Jake Gyllenhall.

Zooey has said many times that she prefers singing to acting. In 2008, she and folk artist M. Ward formed the musical duo She and Him.
