Former Saturday Night Live actor Chris Kattan, 37, was dating his wife, model Sunshine Tutt, 31, for three years before they tied the knot two months ago. They were engaged for two out of those three years and seemed destined for a lifetime of happiness together - or at least a handful of years of wedding bliss. It may not happen for them, though, they’ve split up after just eight weeks together. Their rep confirms the news to US Weekly but says they’re not planning to divorce yet:
No joke: After just eight weeks of marriage, Saturday Night Live alum Chris Kattan and his wife, model Sunshine Tutt, have split.
“Separated for the moment. No plans for divorce at this time,” his rep tells Usmagazine.com.
Kattan, 37, and Tutt, 31 — who began dating in 2005 after meeting at a birthday party — tied the knot this past June 28 in Yosemite Valley, Calif.
He popped the question at Tutt’s grandmother’s home in Gainesville, Texas, on Christmas Eve 2006. He gift wrapped the ring in a present.
[From US Weekly]
Have any of you known couples that were married and then broke up less than a few months later? I’ve only heard of this happening for celebrity couples, but surely there are plenty of laypeople who break up before the wedding gifts are even opened. Maybe reality sets in quickly for them and they just can’t handle it.

Okay, truth be told when I got married I wanted out by the end of my honeymoon. Sometimes, something just changes. And usually it’s the girl, but it my case it was my husband.
We tried for 3 years until we finally had to admit it was a mistake. I wish I had gotten out at 8 weeks, because I knew it wasn’t going to work.
-
My cousin had a HUGE $20,000 wedding and was divorced 2 months later. I had predicted it would be less than 6 months because he’s a jerk. I think he got married for the presents.
-
Sometimes people change after they get married; as was the case with my cousin who’s husband figured that now that they were married he could start beating her. That marriage was 10 weeks.
Sometimes people reveal their true selves after getting married; as was the case with my sister-in-law who revealed that she never really did want children as she professed, she wanted someone to support her so she could quite her job and try to become a professional actress. That marriage lasted 10 months.
Sometimes people get married and just freak out at the gravity of the situation; as was the case with my friend’s husband who had an affair on their honeymoon. Surprisingly, they are still together 8 years later.
Marriage is a complicated issue.
-
I know a couple just like Roma and her ex. (Sorry to hear that you went through that, Roma!) They got married very quickly, and started feeling miserable with each other within a few weeks, but stuck it out for five years. Now they’ve both moved on and are much happier… but man were those five years tough!
-
Something similiar happened to a sort-of friend - the quick separation and divorce was related to the groom’s honeymoon confession about what exactly happened at the bachelor party.
(Hint: hookers)
-
Oh, and Roma, thanks for sharing your story. My mom new at her honeymoon too that it wasn’t going to work. They stayed married, very unhappily, for 21 years. They became good friends after the split.
Like I said, marriages are complicated. Oh that crazy, crazy love.
-
I had a cousin that got married and was divorced 9 months later. She was afraid that her mother would flip out once all the plans were in place, if she didn’t go through with it. I say better a flip out than a divorce. And did I get the gift back? No. She got married again three years later and…another gift. At least that one has lasted.
But again, with the people who are against gay marriage, how is an 8 week union sanctimonious? Shouldn’t there be members of the church gathering for a stoning or something? If not for this…maybe for Night at the Roxbury?
-
Of course it did not last.
He didn’t even manage to wash his hair for his wedding day!
Imagine how he looks like when he lets himself go….
-
My sister lived with a guy for 10 years, and then they got married, and six months later they were getting a divorce…talk about someone changing
-
I thought he was gay. And who marries someone named Sunshine? Isn’t that a harbinger of doom?
-
And p.s. he looks like he didn’t even shower for his wedding…kinda yucky.
-
Sometimes I wonder if it’s the wedding itself–I hear about this happening often after a big production wedding. Maybe the stress of the wedding brings out the worst in everyone–going through any kind of seriously stressful situation can reveal a great deal about people that you didn’t realize even after a few years.(And anyone who has tried to organize a medium to big wedding knows it IS very stressful–particularly if there is a bridezilla involved)
-
Wif~ I have a cousin who went through almost exactly what yours did…
-
I’ve been with my boyfriend for 7 years, and we’re not married. This is part of the reason why, I’m frightened about what will change. We love each other very much, but I’m scared that the psychological difference will change our relationship.
-
Because he’s GAY!!!
-
Too many focus all their attention on “The Wedding” and not on the reality of the relationship.
-
I know a couple who started cheating on each other straightway. The man before the wedding , the woman after. Now a year and a half later, they are getting a divorce. There is a child whose paternity would be disputed if he did look exactly like the father. I still think he could belong to the husband’s brother but I am not making a bad situation worse so I am keeping mum.
-
I agree sunshine can do better than that weird looking man.
-
This was a blind item not too long ago. It alleged he cheated on her. A commenter hit it right on the head with Kattan because the hint said something like super freshly married. Dont know if he cheated with a girl or a boy though. Hmm.
-
My husband knew his first marriage was a disaster on the honeymoon, however being a good Catholic boy decided to stick it out. Five years later he decided to end it and she got pregnant - he ended up staying married for another 20 years until the two kids were out of HS.
-
oxa: I totally agree. My friend fell victim to the “big wedding” philosophy and in the planning, forgot she was marrying a dud she didn’t love. Needless to say, the union didn’t last.
-
Oh, and I’d like to add that there was no big wedding with us. I wanted something very small and intimate, because I thought it should be about us and not the presents.
I should have went with the presents.
-
I’m getting hitched in November & we are dead set against the “big wedding” mentality. I just can’t fathom a $50,000 wedding when there is so much more we could do with the money. Not that we have $50,000 to begin with… I hear about people who go into massive debt over the one day. I just don’t get it!
-
i was surprised he got married.
my friend said chris k. was hitting on him and all the other men in a bar in NYC mid 90’s. -
Wow, I could have sworn he was gay.
Anyway, a good friend of mine from high school was separated by the time she got back from her honeymoon–he inexplicably refused to touch her the entire time (a week and a half).
They divorced shortly thereafter. I never got the whole story on it.
And my sister in law was divorced within six months of getting married. He was a drug user (she knew that part) and started hitting her after they got married. I really can’t stand her for other reasons, but good on her for getting out.
I think it probably happens a lot.
-
Ok so its pretty unanimous Chris is gay. So logically this is 1) publicity stunt or 2) he’s bi.
I had two years in and a daughter before I had a small JP wedding with my ex husband. We had minor problems going in, but wed been successfully working on them. Soon after, money started disappearing, and so did he. He’d disappear for a week straight, quite frequently. Kicked mama’s boy to the curb.
-
“Laypeople”. That’s hilarious
-
Let me guess, she woke up from the big money euphoric coma, rolled over and realized who she was sleeping with, right ?
-
he looks like Rudolf Nureyevs ugly twin
-
My husband’s marriage to wife number 2 lasted 10 months. He has told me he tried to put a stop to the wedding three weeks before it happened but his fiance got so upset he couldn’t do it.
As I told him if he’d lived with her no one would say anything it was because aside from “I’m sorry it didn’t work out”. He felt really terrible for a long time and when we started dating he was really worried about telling me. His first marriage lasted 16 years…
I don’t have a prob with it. I work to make it work and if it doesn’t down the line well I will know we did our best.
-
Thank you for all the comments above. I have never taken the plunge and now I feel confident that I made the right decision. Very scary stories!
-
There’s plenty of good things about marriage, TP, its just human nature to share horror stories.
If its a good marriage, the friendship, companionship and support are unequalled.
-
To the poster who thinks a $20,000 wedding is”huge”….where, the trailer park? You can’t feed 75 people in a tent for that anymore. Read a book.
-
KelliG~ I assume you are addressing me.
We are having a church service & reception for about 75 people & I think our total budget is still less than $8,000. In Historic Downtown Charleston, SC. With loads of food & booze.
You don’t acctually NEED to spend an astronomical amount of money to have a nice wedding. Not everyone is obsessed with throwing money around & showing off. Don’t be so snotty
-
I SO want to go to your wedding, Bodhi (and I will, online, of course). Sounds to me like you’ve got all the right ingredients for a totally fab day. And blah to uppity posters who are clueless when it comes to what really counts. All about the love and having a blast!
-
Bodhi, I agree with you. My daughter just got married in May, your total is spot on.
KelliG; You’re a very rude child. Take your own advice and read a book……..on etiquette.
-
I knew my first marriage was a mistake before the wedding night was over.
He changed. Something…happened that night. His entire attitude and “aura” changed towards me…and it was never the same again.
Stubborn Aspen took 6 years to leave that marriage. BIG mistake. Kudos to these two for admitting a mistake and getting out of dodge before bringing kids or financial entanglements into the fray.
-
Oh…and Kelli? My wedding cost a total of $5,000, and it was gorgeous, thank you very much.
I don’t live anywhere near a trailer, but I know folks who do, and I’d wager they’re a kinder lot than you.
-
You’d be most welcome Geronimo!
And all the other BADettes, of course!
-
“…but then I saw the alert, like the Bat in the Sky - the word BADettes! ”
I can now leave my computer with a smile on my face, ……….thanks Snowy
Have fun tonight everyone
-
Chris strikes me arrogant and a full of himself — he must think he’s hot stuff when in fact, he looks like a toad. He dated Jennifer Coolidge (Stifler’s Mom!), who noted that it was one of the most dreadful relationships she ever experienced.
I wasn’t there in this marriage, but I’m pointing the finger at Kattan, simply because he’s ugly as hell.
-
It really annoys me when people say “She could do so much better than him” based merely on the fact that she’s better looking. Maybe she’s a pain in the ass. Maybe he’s the most brilliant husband a girl could want. Who knows if she could do better? Sure, she could fine a better looking guy, but is that really “better” if he turns out to be a jerk? Maybe Kattan could do better than her. Who can judge?
-
I knew it!!! I said it won’t last because he didn’t wash his hair for his wedding day.
-
OMG! But she is gorgeous! That’s very true PK, but, its obvious his looks aren’t really what she married him for. Maybe he really is brilliant
Hmmm,ya never know
Oh dear, best of wishes to you Bodhi!
Oh and, snow, that is quite..horrible.
Men. Some can be total jerks. Well…I hope everyone has a good day/night.

She really could do much better, she is too beautiful for him. He is so weird looking,especially when he does like a monkey on SNL.
