Kristen Wiig & Fabrezio Moretti have broken up after 18 months: sad?

Kristen Wiig

Aww, I have to admit that this news bums me out just a little bit. For about 18 months, Kristen Wiig and Strokes drummer Fabrezio Moretti were an item, and I thought they seemed really in sync with each other. Certainly, Kristen acted completely smitten with the guy while admitting to Marie Claire, “I’m happier than I’ve ever been, and I feel lucky right now.” Then last July, there were rumors that Kristen and Fabrezio has possibly gotten engaged, but I guess it doesn’t matter now because they’re over. Us Weekly has the exclusive scoop:

It’s officially over! Kristen Wiig and Fabrizio Moretti have called it quits after 18 months of dating, multiple sources exclusively confirm to Us Weekly. The Bridesmaids star, 39, and the Strokes drummer, 33, were first linked in December 2011 after they were spotted making out at a Black Keys’ concert in New York City.

“It was very amicable and they will remain friends,” an insider says of the former couple’s breakup.

Wiig has typically been tight-lipped about her personal life, though she did credit the rocker with enriching her life in an August 2012 Marie Claire cover story. “I’m happier than I’ve ever been and I feel very lucky right now,” she told the magazine.

It’s been a busy summer for the former Saturday Night Live standout: Wiig leant her voice to the No. 1 animated feature Despicable Me 2 and starred in the dramedy Girl Most Likely, both released in July. Moretti, who dated Drew Barrymore from 2002 to 2007, is celebrating the release of The Strokes’ fifth studio album, Comedown Machine.

You know who probably isn’t all torn up about this breakup? Drew Barrymore, who directed Kristen in Whip It and dated Fabrezio for several years before Kristen had even met him. Drew seemed perplexed while talking to Allure about her ex and her friend getting together. Drew described the relationship as “so wacky and incestuous” while also proclaiming that “It seems fitting that they would find each other.” Maybe Drew is tying one on while tye-dying stockings in her kitchen sink in celebration.

    I don’t know why, but she rubs me the wrong way…she seems to be simultaneously tryhard and high maintenance.

    • Liv says:

      And she seems like a bitch.

      Being with the exboyfriend of your best friend is so back-stabbing.

      • Leah says:

        They are not best friends, thats an overstatement. They worked together and became friends but its not like they were life long bff´s.

    • spiderkitty says:

      THIS!! She only knows how to be the funny girl but when you are not funny to begin with I don’t know what you’re supposed to be. She tries too hard to make people laugh and comedy should be, you know, funny.

      Also, getting on with your girlfriend’s ex is just a big NO.

    • anet says:

      I think I know why Kristin Wigg is annoying….she’s unattractive trying to look hot…and she’s not funny while trying to be funny. I could punch her in the face.

    • mrsjennyk says:

      She has got to be the most irritating person ever! every single character is the same. Not cool. I’ve actually never laughed whilst watching her attempt to “act”

  2. Launicaangelina says:

    I think Kristen and Jon Hamm would make a great couple. They have undeniable chemistry.

    • PunkyMomma says:

      Yep. I’ve always caught an intense vibe between Wiig and Hamm. Wouldn’t be surprised one bit if Hamm and Westfeldt split and Wiig moved on Hamm. He’s too delicious.

    • Kaye says:

      Seems like I read that they are already an item and have been for some time.

    • Carolyn says:

      aren’t they heavily rumoured (Lainey?) to have been secretly “on” some time ago?

      I have disliked Wiig since Bridesmaids…unfortunately associate her with her awful character in the movie. Did like Whip It though.

      • Helvetica says:

        Yeah there have been a lot of rumors that John Hamm cheats on/has cheated on his girlfriend Westfeldt with Kristen Wigg

    • anet says:

      Jon Hamm has better taste than that, dear. Then again, forget I just said that.

    • Delilah says:

      +1000 on Hamm & Wiig union. I am a huge Wiig fan & although I understand where some criticize her style as try hard, it works. It takes a lot to commit to characters or roles or looks that are unflattering in a Holly world that places such a premium on sex appeal. I applaud her for not being afraid to break all the boundaries & comforts zones in storytelling/plots/sketches. Just saw her in Girl Most Likely. I was a bit disappointed in that it felt too much like it was an insidious sequel to Bridesmaids. But I laughed. She’s my funny girl.

  3. Shelley says:

    i’m glad it didn’t work out for her. Serves her right for breaking girlfriend code of dating exes.

  4. Esmom says:

    I don’t agree that Drew would be overjoyed by the breakup, based on her comments she seemed supportive to me. And presumably she’s moved on.

    Kristen reminds me of Jennifer Garner in that she’s a natural beauty who can’t seem to find a flattering style for herself. Something almost always looks “off” to me.

    • lucy2 says:

      If she and Kristen are still friends, then I agree she wouldn’t be happy about it.
      Kristen’s style drives me nuts – I think she’s very pretty and has a great figure, but rarely wears flattering styles or colors. I’ve always wished a great stylist would do her up right for some big award show. But I guess she wears what she likes.

    • samab says:

      Garner is not a natural beauty.she may be seen around without make up,but her lips are definitely pumped up!

  5. blue marie says:

    I had forgot they were dating

  6. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Aw bummer. I liked them together. I love her and I think he’s so cute…

    • Leah says:

      I agree, i love his band and i was obsessed with Fab when i was in school and i think she is super talented. I love the strokes for being rock stars who dates interesting accomplished women rather than pick their dates from the victoria secrets back catalogue . Fabrizio is actually good looking unlike cliched modelizers like Adam levine,

  7. PunkyMomma says:

    Hamm and Westfeldt are not married. They’ve been together a long time, but they are not married.

  8. Bianca says:

    I’m pretty sure it’s Fabrizio, not Fabrezio.

  9. Noreen says:

    Is it awful of me to mention–randomly here–that her nose really, really has always bothered me?

  10. Bridget says:

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Wiig wasnt exactly dating a guy that’s going to be settling down any time soon. But then again, I can’t stand the Strokes.

    • A says:

      How can one not stand the strokes!? I love them!
      And didn’t fab say he never wanted to get married hmm

  11. Jules says:

    I would love to see Kristen and Jon Hamm get together. Sorry Westfeldt.

    • c says:

      agreed. although I totally believe the gossip blind items that they’ve been hooking up on the DL. the look that they give each other during snl sketches gives it away. she’s a scumbag for going along with it but eh then again like I said, I think they go well together.

    • Becky1 says:

      I feel bad for Jennifer Westfeldt if it’s true and I’m definitely not condoning cheating but they really do have good chemistry. I can see them as a couple-they seem like they would fit well together.

  12. Bijlee says:

    I always pronounce her boyfriends name as Febreeze. I’ve just renamed him now.

  13. Relli says:

    Drew is probably having a coffee mug full of her self-made wine while she slathers herself in her new Walmart make-up line.

  14. Alarmjaguar says:

    Aw, I like Kristen Wiig.

  15. Suckmyfarts says:

    I am the only one who LOVES her!!!???? Why is it that female comediennes get such a bad rap? Always saying they seem “bitchy”
    I personally find her quirky & pretty damn funny! I loved bridesmaids! It wasn’t Oscar quality but that’s the point.
    I like that she keeps her personal life private or at least attempts too.
    I also do not think her & drew were BFF’s! More like coworkers, so who cares.

    • 4evaRedd says:

      I like her, too, and she’s got great legs!

      • Hannah says:

        I love her she is a fantastic writer and actress, plenty of people like her I don’t know what has gotten into people on this site to be honest. And I really don’t understand why people think drew would have a problem with this? She is married and has a baby now. She doesn’t own fab, he can date whomever he likes.

    • Becky1 says:

      I like her, too! I don’t always find her funny but she’s definitely a very talented person and she comes across as pleasant and low key in interviews. I also don’t get people slamming on her appearance-she’s a pretty lady but she’s not someone who’s career is about her looks or trying to be hot. She wears clothes that show off her legs because she has nice legs-I really don’t get a try hard “look how hot I am” vibe from her.

    • ohiogirl says:

      I think she’s hilarious and naturally beautiful…

  16. skuddles says:

    What is it about the name Fabrezio that sounds so male-slutty? lol

    I love her shoes in that first pic!

  17. stellalovejoydiver says:

    Didn`t Fab say that he only moved on because Drew is happily married now? Seems like he is still hung up on her.

  18. SpaceDonkey says:

    I think she is fabulous and very funny. Love love love.

  19. anet says:

    EVERYONE STOP SAYING THAT HAMM IS BEEN WITH THIS TURKEY!! SHE’S WORSE THAN J WEST. (yes Jennifer Westfelt **has actually become popular for an alias by now). Thanks a lot BACON BIT!
