As the saying goes, “‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved than never to have loved at all.” And even though Mad Men star Christina Hendricks and (500) Days of Summer actor Geoffrey Arend have called it quits after 10 years of marriage (via The Hollywood Reporter), it appears as though that’s the attitude the two have in regards to their relationship.
In October 2019, Hendricks posted to her Instagram account a short statement written by both her and Arend, saying in part, We joined our two amazing families, had countless laughs, made wonderful friends, and were blessed with incredible opportunities. Today we take our next step together but on separate paths. We will always be grateful for the love we’ve shared and will always work together to raise our two beautiful dogs.”
Arend shared the statement on his account as well. On what would have been the pair’s anniversary, Arend posted a picture of himself with the couple’s two dogs, at his shoulder and feet, respectively. He paired it with a caption that read, “Anytime you’re feeling low, bookend yourself in dogs. Can’t recommend it enough” (via Vulture).
