Ethan Hawke Weds Again

Ethan Hawke and Ryan Shawhughes

Ethan Hawke has married his girlfriend Ryan Shawhughes.

“They were married last month in NYC," his rep says. "No further details are available."

In January, Hawke's rep confirmed that he and Shawhughes were expecting their first child together.

"They're thrilled!" the rep said.

Hawke met Shawhughes after she began working as a nanny for Hawke's two children, Maya, 10, and Levon, 6, whom he has with his ex, actress Uma Thurman.

Thurman — who is now engaged to multimillionaire Arpad "Arki" Busson — filed for divorce in 2004 after reports surfaced that he cheated on her.

"It's unfair when one person's career is taking off, and the other is really suffering," he said of their split last year.

"What happens, it's not that they're jealous of each other. It's that the person you share your life with isn't in the mood to support. You want to have a pity party for yourself, but they're off to the Golden Globes, and you don't want to go, because everyone is going to think you are jealous."

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher's wedding on hold

Sacha Baron Cohen and fiancee Isla Fisher have been forced to postpone their wedding over religious issues.

The Hollywood-based couple, who welcomed a daughter last year, originally planned to tie the knot later this summer.

But they have decided to delay the nuptials because Isla, 32, has yet to convert to the Ali G star's faith of Judaism.

A source said: 'Isla was supposed to spend her time after giving birth hard at work on her Torah studies, and that's gone far slower than expected.

'It's very much frustrated her future in-laws, especially Sacha's parents, who were really hoping for a wedding this summer.'

For Isla's part, the actress is said to be looking forward to becoming a Cohen.

The source said: 'No matter what Sacha's mother throws at her, Isla isn't going to be scared away from the relationship or the family.

'You really get the sense that her devotion to Sacha is total, even if she's stalled a little bit on her Jewish studies. She loves sharing her life with this guy.'
