Why Rachel & Hayden Are Taking a Breather

When Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen got cozy on the set of 2008’s Jumper, we were all, “Yeah. That makes sense.” And when they announced their engagement in February of the following year, we were all, “Duh. That totally makes even more sense.” And when they announced their separation last week, we were all, ” That totally makes even even more sen—WHOA. Hold The Phone. So….WHAT IN THE WHAT NOW?”

Check out what Moonit had to say about other co-stars.

Sadly, it’s true; Bilson and Christensen are taking some time off. (And yes; that is our lower lip that’s doing the about-to-cry quiver.) Bilson recently posed for the paparazzi at the THQ/Take No Prisoners event, and when asked about the progress of her impending nuptials, she referenced her ring-free hand, saying, “No, no plans…No nothing.” (Okay. We don’t even care if we get red and puffy, because the tears are full-on welling up.) We don’t get it. They were all a-buzz with near-wedded bliss, and now they’re…not? Moonit’s on the scene to find out if this break is a permanent fracture.

According to their birth date analysis, Hayden (born on April 19, 1981) and Rachel (born on August 25, 1981) have the potential for “domestic bliss,” but Moonit warns them to not “let it bore them to tears.” Their romantic assessment says they can, “go for days without arguing, and they rarely fight.”

Wait, that’s good, right? Well, sort of. While their overall agreement level can make for some fun times, we’re going to put them on the spot: “what happened to the spice…the fire…the ripping each other’s clothes off with reckless abandon that they were all about in the very beginning?”

Because these two “generally see eye-to-eye,” it’s easy to “put their relationship on autopilot.” As a result, they’re likely to have “great careers and financial successes,” but it’s only because “there isn’t much ‘action’ to distract them.” Since their relationship is “all about the status quo,” they might be “tempted to stray…before they go looking for love in all the wrong places, they ought to take try injecting a little romance back into their partnership.”

Now that we know about the boredom factor, we hope they’re using this month-long separation as a chance to dust off their libidos. Moonit suggests that they “deep-six any conversation about work, money or family matters, and get…creative.” And the relationship therapy doesn’t stop there: “now’s the time to climb out of your comfort zones and jump into some spontaneity. Sign up for a salsa night and then heat up the massage oil. A little adventure will do you both wonders. You’ll find that the two of you are a lot more compatible in the bedroom than you’re giving yourselves credit for.”

Fingers crossed, you guys.
