You know the hot guy from those “Mummy” movies? I don’t know if it was just the lure of the sexy leather bracelet he wore or that he pretend scored with Rachel Weisz. Either way he is back on the bachelor market. He and his real life wife have confirmed that they are splitting up via Fraser’s rep.

“They continue to maintain a close and caring friendship,” the actor’s publicist, Ina Treciokas, said Wednesday in a statement.

The couple has been married for 9 years. They also had three kids, which kinda makes me feel bad for circling like a vulture. He and soon to be wife Afton met at a barbeque hosted by Winona Ryder. They then fell in love and married in 1998. Currently reasons behind the parting are still a secret.

I am guessing it his obsession with his male pattern baldness. He had a full thick head of hair in his heart throb days following his “Mummy” movies success. But in 2003 his hair tragically vanished only to reappear last month for the new installment of his claim to fame, “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.”

I bet he went the route of Nicholas Cage. He went and got himself some wicked hair plugs and willed himself back to hotness.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Brendan Fraser and his wife Afton Smith and 2/3 of their kids (the last one wasn’t born yet) are shown at the Halloween Carnival at Universal Studios on 10/23/05. Brendan and Afton are also shown at the Critics Choice Awards on 1/10/06 when Afton was pregnant. They have three boys, Griffin Arthur, 5, Holden Fletcher, 3, and Leland, 20 months.
