Johnny has split from his wife

Jackass ringleader Johnny Knocksville has split from Melanie Cates, his wife of 11 years, his rep has confirmed to US magazine In Touch Weekly.
"Yes, Johnny Knoxville is currently separating from his wife," his rep told the magazine, amid reports that the 35-year-old actor and comedian has moved out of the LA home he shared with his wife and 10-year-old daughter Madison.
According the to magazine, Johnny has moved in with another woman, reported to be a waitress he met while staying at New York's trendy Mercer Hotel.
Though Johnny has not gone public with his new relationship, an insider tells the magazine, "They've been living together since the fall and are staying near his wife's home. They're really in love. Johnny only has eyes for her."
The couple, who got married in 1995, have been plagued by split rumours for years, with unconfirmed reports linking the Jackass star to the likes of Kate Moss and his Dukes of Hazzard co-star Jessica Simpson in 2005.

Hugely unsurprising in some ways, very surprising in others. It's a pretty well-known gossip "fact" that Knoxville is a man whore, but I'd heard insinuations that they had an open marriage. Guess not!

After 11 years, fame got to them. It's the Hollywood curse. I bet if Johnny wasn't famous, they would of made it.

well... I doubt it personally. From all accounts, they had a shotgun wedding (i.e. got hitched coz she got pregnant) and he's been rooting all over the world with the rest of the Jackass crew (c.f. all the many, many jokes about shared STDs on Jackass commentaries and interviews)

I guess I'm just a bit cynical about shotgun weddings... my parents did that, and it was 17 years of hell for Ma and I with an abusive drunk who didn't want to be there!

Ok, so I wonder who he hooks up with now. Lindsay? Paris? Nicole? Britney? we'll see.

He's pretty hot.

I hope they can deal with the split in a way that won't affect their daughter.

FINALLY...after all his cheating. what an embarassement he is to his family.

The one thing I've always liked about johnny is he seems to be a pretty good dad to his daughter.

As for his marriage, I agree with the fact that the hollywood curse seemed to have finally claimed them.

i'm surprised they lasted this long.

Wonder if Jessica Simpson will be giving him a call. They can pick up where they left off.

I'm right here Johnny....and I am waiting.

KandyKorn · February 1st, 2007, 09:15 AM

Hell, I didn't know he was married, I don't remember it being mentioned when there were the rumors about him and Jessica.

He's hot but seems like a slut.

It's a curse...my attraction to him - a curse! *shakes fist at sky* I am simultaneously sickened and aroused by this man - I just don't understand it.
