Yes, he's been married to her since 1992. They have three kids.

Those pics are great with Simon and Fisher. They are indeed adorable and I think they're both short. ;-)

Yeah, that was totally what I meant when I said they were cute. I'm sure they were cute in other ways, but I know neither of them nor their relationship personally, so I'm looking purely at aesthetics. It's cute how he's short and small and she's shorter and smaller. It looks balanced.lol! Edie Brickell is very cool, but she towers over him and I've never considered her attractive, or at least she isn't as attractive as Carrie to me. But that's hardly here or there...

I also had no idea they dated even after there divorce. Strange how "marriage" affects couples. Are they still friends?

Yup. I kind of fudged the dates, but this is from Carrie's bio: "Paul and I dated for six years, were married for two, divorced for one, and then we dated again. We were together for more than 12 years (off and on) and we traveled a lot."

They are still good friends. Ok, in her bio she talks about everything but never once does she say anything negative about him. I mean, aside from the normal stuff about them having disagreements, she doesn't say anything demeaning to his character and appears to have utmost respect for him. I read another interview with her and Penny Marshall (I think) and she said he was the best ex-husband or something along those lines. I know she was close to his son, because he was living at her house for some time when he was younger...

But I like what she says here: "The last place we went to was the Amazon, which I recommend if you like mosquitoes.

When we got back, Paul wrote an album called The Rhythm Of The Saints - and on this album is the last song he ever wrote about me - and it's called She Moves On (an ironic title).

Anyway, one of the lyrics of the song goes like this: 'She is like a top / She cannot stop.' So yeah, he knew me. But the lyric I really wanted to tell you about was this: 'And I'm afraid that I'll be taken / Abandoned and forsaken / In her cold coffee eyes ...'

Yep, I'm a bitch. Poor Paul. He had to put up with a lot."

I've always really liked her, without the PS association. She's interesting, funny, and candid. Plus, she has bipolar and has gone through quite a lot. I have a close friend with bipolar and it's inspirational to her when she hears about other people's stories...so I kind of got into Carrie partly from her and partly from "Star Wars." lol!
