Split!
Filed under: Australiastic
Australian sweethearts Natalie Imbruglia and Daniel Johns are getting divorced.
Sad.
The couple just released the following statement, announcing their split.
"While we are very sad that our marriage has ended, we want to make it clear that our parting is amicable and we remain friends. This mutual decision has not been taken lightly or quickly.
However, our career demands and our lives in different parts of the world have brought us to the point where unfortunately this difficult decision was necessary for both of us.
We have simply grown apart through not being able to spend enough time together.
We have issued this statement to set the record straight and to eliminate any need for speculation.
We will not be making any further public statements whatsoever in regard to this very private matter and politely ask that people respect our sincere wishes in this regard."

She made herself look like a chipmunk with all those surgeries on her eyes and cheeks - Daniel will hopefully pull through and be far better off!
Now about those Spring tour dates, silverchair…

She made herself look like a chipmunk with all that surgery anyway. Daniel's better off! She ran away when he had problems years ago and now she's running off again.
Yeah right. Like anyones interested in these two whilst Britney's having a meltdown.

Sad, but I knew from day one when they go together, that they will end up parting they'r ways.
I always thought that Daniel was the one who got changed by Natalie…But now, Im not so sure anymore. I wonder wich way it is? Daniel changed her or?
Now that's how you release a public statement…at least it's not the generic "we still remain the best of friends" blah blah blah bullshit…
Re: Nancy –
Nancy - He is the singer/guitarist for silverchair, she is the singer of "Torn" from 1996 and not a damn think since that in America.
oh yes baby!!!! danny is all mine
All of you people who are that pathetic that you have to comment on things by saying "First" really need to go back to your cashier jobs at McDonald's. They appreciate your intelligence there…
omg! i thought that was johnny depp! lol
Daniel Johns is weird!!!
too bad. i bet they got into a really huge fight over who would get to keep the purse collection.
Aw!!! I am sad =( But atleast it wasnt a bad split… bitter… you know, the ugly stuff =(
perez u dumb shit this is OLLLLLLDDDD
They never really matched anyway. Hate that they are splitting, though.
Don't really care about a 1-hit wonder singer from over a decade ago.
Its well known here in Australia that Daniel is actually
GAY!!!
I reckon it wont be long till he comes out the closet
Sad ..but DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daniel Johns is so fucking hot!!
Re: torn –
Yeah…you're reading Perez Hilton do you really think this is the time to argue intelligence? Re: torn –
Feck! i thought that was Kevin Federfacethingy then with Nat imburgas! I Was gona say…he's moved up in the babe market stakes…nope, come back down Fedders!
One hit wonder my arse, open your eyes (and ears!) sweetheart! And, it is nice to hear news from another part of the world.
GOOD! Maybe silverchair will go back to making Rock N Roll, not sappy love bull shit.
Daniel I love you suga!
No surprise there. Saw a pic of them together over Christmas and was surprised they were still in that sham of a marriage. They saw each other like 3 weeks a year! He's so gay, and very weird (ala Michael Jackson) he needs to come out of the closet.
Holy shit!!! I read this and now I'm going to be depressed all day. I loved them as a couple. Now I'm vowing to never get married (or at least spend forever with someone before I do). lol Oh well, at least I guess this means Daniel's back on the market….assuming I can drug him so he'll forget his prior memories of me, right?
Re: Ashley –
I don't think his getting married has anything to do with what he writes. And very little of it is sappy love bullshit. Most of it still has nothing to do with love. Plus, I love the new stuff anyways, I love every new album.
If any of you knew Daniel, you'd know that he is not weird. He is about as normal as they come and is very committed to his friends and family. He is not about the celebrity bullshit and would prefer to hang out with his friends instead of vying for a photo-op. So far as the gay rumors… they are as true or false as any celebrity out there. I think every damn one of them has experimented with all kinds of things as they are ARTISTS. So far as the average person's need to label someone's sexuality…. whatever makes you feel safe, folks.
awesome!!!!
now i have a shot at natalie and now silverchair can maybe get back to making good records instead of crap
Re: DD –
What makes him weird to you? He's a very normal guy now, of course he had is odd moments as a teenager but what the hell makes him anything comparable to Michael Jackson?![re=1180354]
Awww. That's sad. Now, remind me…. WHO THE HELL ARE THEY AGAIN?!!
it's so sad, because they made a great couple. it's a shame. oh well, maybe now i can have a shot with daniel, rofl. (in my dreams xD)
silverchair doesn't write "sappy love shit". perhaps you should listen to the lyrics.
Hey guys he is not gay I mean he was married and then again so was Elton John and he is straight ….right
Daniel Johns is a hot bitch! I'm so glad he finally ditched that stupid one hit wonder. This is the best news I've heard in a long time!!
darn. guess he will have to marry me then
First, i have to say that i'm the one who thinks to get married at any point.
But, i do agree with all the people who say some people totally trivializes that kind of agreement, and more reading something so stupid like "our career demands and our lives in different parts of the world have brought us to the point where unfortunately this difficult decision was necessary for both of us." They knew that beforehand!!! They had those lives before, it's not like they were common people like you and me working 8 hours a day and coming back home at a certain time etc. People like this better keep their mouth shut for stuff nobody cares about (they are not that super famous anyway) and do themselves the favor to not sound like complete immature morons they are…
Re: jimena – First, i have to say that i'm NOT the one who thinks to get married at any point.
called it!
daniel
They were far apart for too long, at too many times, for alot of the year during Silverchair's tours and I saw Natalie hanging out backstage with other band members at the Reading festival in the UK a couple of years ago and Daniel was nowhere in sight. I actually thought they had split ages ago, because Natalie was always hanging out in London and not with her husband, which was odd. Now we all know why. They were such a hot couple and had been together for years, so it's hard for both of them.
Re: ally –
you fucking idiot they have been touring the US with their new record and it's a top 40 hit and on the radio all the time
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I WAS SO SHOCKED WHEN I GOT THE EMAIL.
THIS WAS THE CUTEST COUPLE EVERRRRRRRR.
Man this totally sucks, I'm so sad. I'm a hugggggge Daniel Johns fan and I like Nat.. i just thought they wouldn't end up like all celebrity couples.
:'(
no more commentssssss!
:(
p.s:
:)
absolutely love silverchair.
I just hope Dan's happy. Single!
And how many times was Nat seen with other men? being wined and dined?
Re: Holly S –
HAHA!
Silverchair '08… and single!
Here we come!
Whoa, I hadn't seen Daniel Johns in a while, he does not look good.
Awww. That is kind of sad. I love daniel, but maybe now he will finally come out.
I always thought he could do better… I thought they were quite the odd match… Daniel's looking pretty damn good these days isn't he? Not really into the new Silverchair stuff though… love the old stuff.
I'm so sorry for these guys. They were so good together.
I know it's not going to happen but I hope people give them some space to get over this.
This doesn't look like Natalie it looks like Selma Blair!
Re: Miss Bitch –
Are you serious?! He is all toned and buff, gorgeous as hell now. He is healthy and FAR better mentally than he ever has been in his fame. You may not like his look but he is doing fantastic. Google some images from the 2007 tour.
Re: Holly S – Reading Perez Hilton doesn't show a lack of intelligence - instead it shows an obsession with pop culture that most of society has. However, these complete idiots who have to "first" comment on every single one of the posts…Explain that to me? When you try to compare someone reading versus someone leaving ridiculous comments, it shows that you, my dear…Well, you may just be lacking intelligence too.
Yea! I have been waiting for this! Just two days ago, I was joking around and saying to my sister, "Daniel is leaving Natalie for me." (Ha ha ha!) Now I can make my mooove!!! (I LOVE DANIEL JOHNS!!!
who didnt see this coming….for like…years….
they didnt even live on the same floor when they both lived in england….
now he can come out…do it do it!!!!
Re: torn –
They are having fun with it, calm down. You don't have to read the comments if they make you angry. Please do not speak to me about intelligence on a pop culture message board, as I can edit the heck out of your previous post to me. Poor grammar skills are common among the population that is so quick to be mean to others online, it's very amusing. Now is the time you start posting your numerous degrees, job experience, etc. I do not care, just don't bother to be rude to other posters.
Finally, don't take my first post to you so seriously, come on this is Perez Hilton's website for crying out loud. It is not about your brain power it's about getting the dirt on people we don't even know.
Re: Ange – haha yeh because the whole world cares about britney spears… she admits it in "her" own music - every day theres another headline - WHO FUCKING CARES!
sad but you didnt see nat making any sacrifices for the good of their marriage did you?
and for those that say 'it's because he's gay', are you twelve? - dan's been linked to a number of other 'female celebs' in the last couple of months anyways
so sad silverchair is my fave band and I got the news early this morning on myspace….he deserves someone a bit more committed to him honestly.
OMG Perez, you totally just made my day!! I for one am totally over Britney, but I totally love Silverchair and Daniel. Hearts for him indeed. Thank you for taking a second out of your Britney-filled day to give me the greatest news of the new year!!
Now he show off his love for Paul Mac to the entire world…
YES! He's all mine now!!
I've had claim on him for 10 years.
Daniel! You are free!!!! Wanna go out? I'll divorce my husband for you! You hot sexy sensitive Aussie!!!! YUM. Sad though.
Why would you pick your career ovre a happy marriage?
hELL YeAH fuck loCita Brit-bRIT…i'M
Sad for Natalie, Not for Daniel and me…Hello Divorce and Hello Australia cuz here I come. he's much tooo hot
For the last year, they both have been sporadically wearing their wedding rings. She bases herself in the UK but never seems to actually do anything with her music career. She is always photographed with either Daniel, looking miserable and moody at him, or with some new guy on her arm (apparently always just a friend). He is mostly in Australia actually making music and touring. I noticed her wasn't wearing his wedding ring at the Aria awards a few months back and thought it was a bit odd he'd be a focal point of the evening, but not worry about the speculation it would cause if he didn't wear it. Go Daniel, she is not good enough for you. Somebody that doesn't mind living on the other side of the world rather than be in her home country with her husband has something seriously wrong with her
For all you music philistines, Danial is the lead singer/songwriter/producer of silverchair ans
d Natalie is an ex soap star who had one successful album and has done very little commercially since.
If she didn't have time to be with him as his career continues to grow it's because she really didn't want to. Even here in Australia they were hardly ever seen together and she very rarely accompanied him to awards etc. Although he did thank her at the recent ARIAs'.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, the game is ON danny boi! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
the poor mans posh and becks.
she was a lezzie
Shame - Nice couple. Down to earth - not in to the whole pap thing - hope it all works out for them. Shame to hear that part of the reason was cause of their careers. He's hot, she's hot, both nice - sure they will be fine…..

i loved them together, but i think its for the best. they've been together so long that it might be time for a change, especially for dan. i mean…together since 1999…or seomthing liek that, yeah that doesn't seem that long but when you look at how old they were? must have been what…18, 19 for dan?
i'll love them both regardless
they would have had some damn good looking kids though aha
