The famous actress Ashley Judd is now considered a free woman. On the eve of the Hollywood star and her husband Dario Franchitti (Dario Franchitti) officially announced their separation. What caused the collapse of a fairly harmonious union is still anyone's guess.

“By mutual agreement, we decided to end our marriage,” the couple said in a statement. “But we will forever remain a family and will preserve our relationship based on special love and respect, which we have always greatly appreciated.”

Ashley and Dario, a Scottish race car driver of Italian descent, were married in 2001. Ashley later said that it was love almost at first sight. And Judd is an experienced woman in these matters - at one time they talked about her whirlwind romances with such Hollywood beauties as Robert De Niro and Matthew McConaughey.

In general, Ashley has always had a lot of fans and contenders for the hand and heart. Another thing is that the actress was very capricious. According to rumors, she arranged a kind of test for potential suitors: the guy had to go through an interview with a psychoanalyst, during which he had to tell about his innermost. And it was Franchitti who passed the "test" brilliantly.

For more than ten years (as secular observers joke, by Hollywood standards, 10 years is all 50), the couple enjoyed harmony in family life. Curiously, the names of the spouses rarely flashed in the yellow press - no scandals, betrayals and other troubles. And when asked by journalists how they manage to stay in touch, Judd once remarked: "We just appreciate every day we spend together."

So it comes as no surprise that the news of the couple's separation came as an unpleasant surprise to both the public and the press.
