Kerry Washington's marriage to Nnamdi Asomugha, a former American football player on three NFL teams, has always been a little bit different. Even the most private of celebrity couples are usually spotted on the red carpet together occasionally, but not these two. Even during awards season last year, when Washington's hit show Scandal was in contention, Asomugha was never with her for support. When Washington celebrated her birthday last winter, her husband was on the opposite coast for a Super Bowl party. The birth of baby Isabelle last May has not made the couple closer either, it seems, and now many are wondering if a split could be near.
In the past, Washington made the mistake of allowing her personal life to read like an open book and it burned her, so it makes sense she would now fiercely guard her family's privacy. Back in the October 2013 issue of Glamour, Washington defended her right to silence, saying:
"I'm walking around in the world with my ring. And when people say congratulations, I say thank you. But I'm going to continue to not talk about it and just let it unfold."
While Washington makes not talking about things sound like her decision, you have to wonder how much there really is to discuss when she and Asomugha seem to rarely spend any time together. Some media sites have asserted the notion that Washington and Asomugha's marriage has been more of an arrangement and that they use each other to hide their real personal lives from the general public.
Do you believe Washington is living her own version of happily-ever-after with her husband and baby, or are things as shaky or non-existent as they would seem to appear? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
