Zoe Saldana Back on the Market After 11 Years

November 14th, 2011 - By Brande Victorian

A rep for Zoe Saldana has confirmed that the actress and her fiance, Keith Britton, have “amicably separated after 11 years.”

Saldana and Britton’s engagement became public in June 2010, and at the time Saldana was said to be “thrilled.” Other reports in Us magazine painted a different picture though, remarking that “[Zoe] doesn’t even introduce him as her fiance. She will just say, ‘This is Keith.’ She likes to keep her personal life to herself and wants people to focus on her as an actress.”

There’s no word on why the couple decided to call it quits, but their joint business ventures are expected to stay intact.

“[They] remain committed business partners as co-founders of fashion resource MyFDB.com,” Saldana’s rep said. “Respect of their privacy is appreciated during this time.”

Do you think the split could be a result of Saldana’s increasing fame or just a result of the relationship running its course?

    Good luck to them. I hope people actually listen and respect their privacy.

    That’s way too long to be with someone without being married. At least a bunch of kids didn’t come out of the relationship so that was smart.

  • Jimmy Swaggered

    Wait? So getting a white man WASN’T the key to her everlasting happiness!?!!?  God dammit Madame Noire, get your pro-whiteman propaganda straight!  You’re confusing people…

    • Ssljc

      thats the best response yet

    • Darkesthourglass

      She’ll be alright and no getting a white man doesn’t equate everlasting happiness (unless he’s your soulmate). He’s still just a man.

      She’ll find another one..I think you’re just jealous because she prefers White guys!

      • Jimmy Swaggered

        You’re right.  I am jealous.  The thing is, you have to understand that I was Zoe’s boyfriend 12 years ago and she left me for the white guy 11 years ago.  I frequently lie awake at night, clutching my pillow, as I ponder what might have been… and cry…

    The relationship ran its course. But I could never be with one man for 11 yrs!! Nope.

      Agreed – not 11 years without a ring. That’s for sure. How long does it take to figure out if you want to get married. IMO – two years (if not less) should do it. After that, what’s the point. You’re just wasting time. All these people that claim that they wanted to get through the “infatuation stage” are jokesters. No matter how long you date, once you get married, it’s a whole different story. If you don’t know the person you are with after 1 year, then you will most likely not know that person after 10 years. The things people break up for after 10 years were usually visible in the person during the first two years of dating. They just thought they could live with it and it took them 10 years to finally decide that they couldn’t. I think it all just goes back to knowing yourself. Hopefully, they are both doing well. Wish them the best.

    Engaged for 11 years? Seriously? Like why would you put up with that? If you’re engaged past 2 years, its because he’s not sure if you are “The One” and he’s still checking out his options. 

    • Darlene

    • Prissy
