Balthazar Getty officially separates from wife


Married man Balthazar Getty has been pictured a few times over the last fortnight with a topless Sienna Miller. Not just in the same vicinity as a topless Sienna, but actually touching her in a way that his wife probably doesn’t approve of. Link NSFW.

Balthazar has suddenly remembered that he has a wife and four children, and that he might have hurt their feelings even if they already know that daddy is away on vacation with another woman. He has released this statement.

“The breakdown of a marriage is a very difficult and painful experience especially when children are involved,” he said in a statement released Monday. “In light of the fact that many pictures have surfaced in print and on the Internet which has caused myself and my family great embarrassment, I felt it necessary to at least acknowledge publicly that yes indeed my wife and I have separated and I will not be commenting any further.”

People

Reports suggest that Balthazar and wife Rosetta have been apart for some time, but if you aren’t actually officially divorcing and children are involved the polite thing to do would to keep your sex life confined to a bedroom.

There are also some reports circulating that Sienna and Balthy are planning on moving in together, which is probably true. After all, I don’t think he’s going to be welcomed home by his wife after his time with Sienna is over.

Update by Celebitchy: This story previously featured a photo of Balthazar Getty with Anna Getty, who was mistakenly identified as his wife. Anna is Balthazar’s 34 year-old half sister, and we assumed she was his wife due to their same last name and the way they were shown posing at several events together. We are sorry for the misunderstanding.

Here is Balthazar Getty with his wife in January, 2008.

    sienna’s a slut. but not as much as anglina “i spread my legs for my costars (both male and female)” jolie

    He is a sleaze. She is much better off without him. I hope she takes him to the cleaners, though!

    people have the right to love someone else if things aren’t working out with the present partner. he can do what he wants, just like his soon-to-be-ex-wife can. Yes, the manner in which he did this was tasteless, and I’m pretty sure that he’s feeling like an assh*le right now. Yes, he’s in the public eye, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live his life like anyone else. I know a couple where something similar happened . . . the tryst ended – wife found someone waaay better and he ended up losing the most in the end. i am a firm believer in karma, trust me – this *will* catch up with him one day . . . like when none of his children want him to show up at graduation. These are his choices . . .

    PIECE OF CRAP! He’s probably the kind of guy who, in a few years, is going to say that his ex turned the kids against him. For Sienna (evrybody’s had a piece) Miller no less. Maybe something really bad happened to Balthazar because hittin Sienna is like hitting rock bottom. WTF kinda name is Balthazar anyway?

  5. Lauri says:

    Balthazar was the name of one of the 3 wise men that visited Jesus upon his birth. This clown certainly does not live up to his name!

    What a total ass.

  7. Deb says:

    Scumbag, go back to your wife and kids. 😡

    ZOMG HOMEWRECKER

    Blah. I hear the producers are already re-editing “G.I. Joe” so Sienna’s role is nominal to non-existent.

  9. Samantha says:

    Sienna made it clear she doesn’t want a serious relationship…I hope a few months of sexual pleasure will cover a lifetime of resentment from his family, because that is about how long I predict she will be frolicking topless with him.

    I don’t believe for a second that he is embarrassed. It is obvious that Sienna and Balthazar were flaunting their ho-fest in those topless photos.
    I bet that he is just worried about his show’s ratings now that his true colors have come to light.
    They deserve each other.

    Sienna’s a homewrecker. Jude law was still married to Sadie Frost,and with a brand new baby even less than 8 months old when she moved in on him. I sense a pattern here. Her PR people played it off in the press that Jude and Sadie were already separated. But they were not.

    In those pics circulating of Sienna and Bathlazar (the ones on the boat) SIenna’s Mom Jo is one of the people on the boat. The blonde lady who has sunglasses on (not the one who was taking pics.) Whenever Sienna is moving on some major money, the mom supports her and accompanies the lovers to many dates. Its just kind of sick IMO.

    I feel so sorry for this woman.Getty really is a douche, I mean ok you’ve separated from your wife( she doesn’t know it’s 100% over, but hey that’s life :|) and you wanna have a nice time with a prostitute aka slutty siena (stage name), but dude do it inside of a room, close the damn windows , show an ounce of respect for a woman you loved once and more important for your 4, I repeat 4 kids..fu, getty!

  13. vdantev says:

    I hope she reams him in divorce court.

  14. princess says:

    It might have been a nice thing to actually apologize for embarrassing his family… he admits it but doesn’t actually say it. He couldn’t bring himself to do that one small thing. What an incredibly selfish human being.

  15. katherine says:

    that is not his wife in the photo

  16. KPC says:

    Yep, not his wife. His wife has darker hair and eyebrows and a totally different facial structure.

    You know, I’ve been married to a wonderful man for 13 years (neither or us were married before) and have 2 beautiful children and he’s a great husband and father. So why do I want to go balistic every time I read about this piece of s**t and his piece of a*s? I feel the same way about Tom Brady, who dumped his girlfriend while she was pregnant with his child so he could have the ego-boosting-supermodel-arm candy. I CHEERED whenever that jerk got sacked on the field.
    Maybe it’s something about the fact that the woman is the one (9 times out of 10) who has to cope with being a single parent, while daddy is boffing his latest blonde on the beach.
    About leaving your family when your child is only a baby.
    That men feel free to walk out–people consider Blatherer a bad father for “embarassing” his children with his affair, but nobody is saying he’s a bad father just for leaving.
    But imagine if HE were at home with the kids and it was his wife out publicly boffing some hot young stud?
    She would be vilified as an atrocious mother who abandoned her kids.
    The double standard makes me furious.

  18. Lola says:

    The public flaunting of this relationship was tasteless. Never should have happened.

    But who was inside of the Getty marriage? Who knows what was going on? I am not going to cast stones from my glass house. I don’t blame him for leaving, but I do take issue with the insensitivity he has appeared to have over the feelings of his ex. Keep it under wraps.

    I don’t think a man is bad for leaving when there are children involved. In fact, I think it is pathetic when 2 people stay married and make themselves and everyone around them miserable “for the sake of the kids.” I grew up in a family like that – no love. I would rather my parent’s have had the courage to move on and find happiness.

    That being said – Balthazar did not go about leaving in the right way, from what we know. Best to have dated on the “DL” until filing for divorce.

  19. czarina says:

    Lola; I certainly would never say that people should never divorce no matter the circumstances.
    What I am pointing out is that it is, proportionately, the woman who is left with the majority of responsibility for the children.
    That there is definately a double standard about what is acceptable behaviour for a man as a father and a woman as a mother.
    And, that it is all too easy for the guy to walk away–and have a good time–while the woman is left to pick up the pieces.
