Aaron Sorkin & Kristin Davis split after 2 months of red carpet PDA bliss

Aaron Sorkin Kristin Davis

This will be kind of a depressing story for those of us who delighted to see Kristen Davis and Aaron Sorkin’s red-carpet debut as a couple last month at the premiere of HBO’s “The Newsroom.” They were all over each other with the smooching, the grabbing, and the rubbing. Basically, it was a very unexpected PDA fest, and they seemed like quite the happy new couple — she a gorgeous, underrated actress and he a very intelligent, nerdy-attractive producer (despite whatever sunburn or poorly coordinated fake bake was going on with him at the time). They seemed like a good match, really, but now In Touch reports that it’s all over now. Kristen and Aaron have already broken up and gone their separate ways!

In Touch has exclusively learned that new couple Kristin Davis and Aaron Sorkin have called it quits.

“They’re very different people,” a close friend of the pair tells In Touch. “She’s focused on raising her daughter, Gemma, and he’s working on his show.”

The split comes just two months after the Sex and the City star and Oscar-winning screenwriter showed up as a couple for the premiere of his new HBO series, The Newsroom.

Despite the short-lived romance, the source assures there are no bad feelings. “They’ll definitely remain friends.”

[From In Touch]

I guess it sounds like Kristen and Aaron merely realized they have different goals in life, and Kristen may be very busy raising her newly adopted daughter while Aaron is putting in the long hours in the studio. What a bummer. I don’t suppose there’s any way I can blame this on Olivia Munn, right? Evidently not. Crap.

    I don’t have an opinion on them as a couple (meh) but seriously, she found the fountain of youth. She hasn’t aged at ALL in 20 years.

    Maybe the split has more to do with Aaron Sorkin being the typical white privileged male sexist Hollywood asshole:

    I’m sorry, one person focused on work, the other on raising her daughter still sound like they’re perfect for each other IMO. There’s no drama there. It’s too bad. They look very well matched.

      Hmm, he’s brilliant but likes his drugs and parties. She’s fabulous but seems straight-laced and Charlotte York-y (or maybe that’s my take from watching too many SATC marathons in the 90s).

      She does attract interesting, flawed men (Steve Martin anyone?) but never seems to keep them around for very long.

      I’m sorry but not surprised this didn’t last.

    there was a blind about them, she was probably tired of trying to keep him away from booze and women. that is a 24/7 job.

    he was in rehab for booze and has been known to fall off the wagon and become a raging drunk idiot.

    she can do better.

      ^ This! She already has one kid, she doesn’t need another, man-child, to look after as well.

    • lucy2 says:

      I think this is it too. I get the impression he’s a lot to deal with, and that stuff like that caused problems with him and Chenoweth too.

    • Kristen says:

      Kristin has been open about her own struggles with alcoholism.

  5. Helvetica says:

    Dang, I was rooting for them.

    Oh well. Hopefully they had some great time between the sheets and fun times.

    I think she is so beautiful.

  6. Esmom says:

    I don’t know why but I’ve always gotten the vibe that he’d be exhausting and high-maintenance. Almost like having another child…so maybe Kristen realized she’d have her hands too full with both him and her daughter?

  7. Boodiba says:

    I bet she’s just not that into him.

  8. Mrs. Ari Gold says:

    Noooo!
    I wanted them to work out! I heard he was sober again (and she has been for a long time). Maybe it’s just early relationship drama (everyone goes through that – jeesh) and they will get back together! 🙂

    Maybe they’re trying to break Kim Kardashian’s record?

    Dude. Sunscreen.

    Kristen probably said something fatal like: “I know – because Hollywood tells me – that Paul Ryan (who none of us heard of before last week) is completely evil, idiotic and profane but what ABOUT that $16 trillion dollars of debt he keeps harping about? Should we be concerned?” Sorkin immediately dumped her, banned her from all future White House Press Correspondents Dinners, and had her blackballed in Hollywood.
