I laughed at this sentence from an AP report about their split: "He was born in Salt Lake City and is the sister of New York City Ballet star Megan Fairchild, who starred on Broadway in "On the Town.""
No, I don't think they are hinting at a reason for the split. I think it's just a mistake, and it did make me laugh, but I have to ask: where have all the copy editors gone?
I'd forgotten that they danced together in the recent "Carousel." He gave four years to "American in Paris," as he noted on Twitter when he finished the show. A grueling challenge, and as widely reported, one that required enormous stamina, discipline, and placing the show in the absolute center of his life.

Their NYT wedding spread was kind of strange, they talked about breaking up and crappy things they did to each other. Then a year later, they did another spread about how the first year had been difficult and they had hardly seen each other and his communication skills sucked. So, not surprised. Pretty uncomfortable in rehearsals I would think right now.

Ballet is a small and incestuous world. It's really not uncommon to work with your ex(es).
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I'm very sorry for your loss, and your friends. That is so horrible. I lost my friend, Luis Vielma, in the Pulse shooting last year. My thoughts are with you, even though we don't know each other.
