Page Six released some meager excerpts from Balthazar and Rosetta Getty’s Harper’s Bazaar profile early this morning, and now Bazaar sent us the complete piece, with the above photo. Balthy looks… Jesus. It all seems so weak and staged and dumb. I don’t know why Rosetta is bothering me so much – she just seems so cocky, like she won some big prize by letting her husband come back after he spent more than a year publicly f-cking Sienna Miller. The full interview is here, and here are the highlights:
Balthy: “Here’s the bottom line: It was a very challenging time for everybody involved,” says Balthazar, 35, “but I loved and missed my family too much not to make it work. Rosetta is understanding enough and spiritual enough to let us try. In a way it—I don’t know …I feel like we’re better than we’ve ever been.”
Rosetta: “I’m open to talking about it because I believe we go through things in a public way to help other people get through it. I’d love to talk about it more with people when I’m clearer about it,” she says. “I’m going to have to explain this to my daughters one day. I chose not to act from ego because I just felt like it would be too crushing for my children.”
Balthazar: “You can do two things in life when an obstacle comes your way: You can tackle it, or you can allow it to break you down.”
Balthy: “I wouldn’t say I had an easy childhood, but I always felt loved. My mom didn’t pressure me to win. I didn’t need to be the best at anything,” he says. “Our culture is so focused on competition right now: who’s the best singer or the best designer. That’s not something we want to enforce in this house.”
Rosetta: “I was raised in sort of a commune,” Rosetta starts in her slow, thoughtful way. “An extended spiritual family they called a brotherhood. We were all named by the same guru. I’m not going to say the word cult, but …” she trails off and starts laughing. “My parents were full-on hippies in the ’70s. I was raised by artists, and there weren’t any boundaries.”
Rosetta: “I chose this. I love my kids and I love my work. I’m so grateful to have this. It’s a big life and it’s exhausting, but I wouldn’t trade it.”
Balthazar: “I’m not so good with early, so that’s Rosetta’s thing,” he says. “She’s up and gets them where they need to go, but I’m usually the last person they see at night before they go to sleep.”
Rosetta: “We’ll always have to love each other through our ups and downs,” says Rosetta. “We have to support each other.”
Rosetta: “Who wears the pants?” asks Rosetta with a sly smile. “I think we all know who really wears the pants in any family. And we can leave it at that.”

Rosetta… what are you doing? God knows what sort of international STDs Balthy brought home, and now the whole world knows… what? That you think it’s fine to allow your husband to f-ck another woman – very publicly, mind you – for more than a year? Granted, we don’t know how Rosetta made Balthy “pay” and we only get to see this very staged and ridiculous photo shoot and interview. Maybe it’s not all roses, and maybe she’s not really that f-cking smug. Perhaps part of Balthy’s apology to her was this sh-t-eating interview. But now I’m mad at both of them! I know that’s wrong – after all, Rosetta is probably just thinking about her family, and she and Balthy really do seem pretty strong in this interview. But it also seems like Balthy now knows what he can get away with and how far he can go and his wife will still take him back. And judging from the photo shoot, it also seems like Rosetta’s main concern is that they now look like this big happy family. Am I wrong for thinking that Rosetta is partially aiming these photos at Sienna, like “Look at this, whore, you didn’t break us up”? Meanwhile, Sienna completely forgot she ever f-cked Balthy. She’s all “who?”
