Zoe Buckman and David Schwimmer met in 2006 in London while Schwimmer was present in London for the making of his directorial debut Run Fatboy Run. Zoe Buckman was an artist and a photographer.  David was mesmerized by Zoe at the first meet. They had already been dating for 2months when news about their romance broke out.
                    

David Schwimmer wanted to be with Zoe, he stayed in London with her even after the shooting was finished. Zoe too decided to move to America from England indicating the seriousness in their relationship. Moving in is a big step in a relationship, at the same time it also shows how serious the relationship has grown with which comes added responsibilities. Learning about the developments in their relationship, fans are awestruck by how fast the relationship is moving. The couple had become the most talked-about celebrities within no time.

While most of the celebrities prefer to have lavish theme-based weddings, David and Zoe kept their marriage a secret. It was kept a secret for months and no one doubted their relationship. The issue first became public in 2010 when People reported about the secret wedding.

The couple didn’t take a long time to decide on getting married. They dated each other for only three years before they finally got married. And the other wow factor in their controversial wedding is their age difference. Zoe was 24 while David was 43. Maybe this prompted them to keep the wedding a low key affair.

While David has already become a household name with the fame brought by his role, Ross from FRIENDS, Zoe was an internationally recognized feminist artist. Zoe has been active in addressing abuse, women’s rights, and the reproductive health of women. Although their career paths are contrasting, their working lives and core beliefs do have some overlapping elements. Zoe was vocal for the rights of sexual abuse survivors while David was supportive of the need to end sexual harassment.

In 2017, the couple revealed their separation. But the split wasn’t a bitter one. They admitted they are separating for the good of their own and their daughter. Their daughter’s happiness and well being is the top priority for them. They also admitted that they would co-parent their daughter while remaining friends with each other.

The couple had at least 19-years age gap while they were still dating in 2007. But post their separation they acted most maturely and extended their admiration and respect for each other. After being together for 10 years they finally decided to part their ways in 2017 and shifted their focus on co-parenting their daughter while continuing their respective professions.

Getting separated after 10 years of emotional bonding is not a pleasant experience but Zoe and David acted the most mature way possible. By co-parenting their daughter to maintaining their friendship they have kept everything a peace deal.

After going through the pain for almost two years, the ex-couple seems to have embraced the change and moving forward in their lives on a positive note.
