Kate , you never believe what's happened .   What do you mean ?   Masha and Hero are getting divorced .   You are kidding . What happened ?   Well , I don't really know , but I heard that they are having a separation for 2 months , and filed for divorce .   That's really surprising . I always thought they are well matched . What about the kids ? Who get custody ?   Masha , it seems quiet and makable , no quarrelling about who get the house and stock and then contesting the divorce with other details worked out .   That's the change from all the back stepping we usually hear about . Well , I still can't believe it , Masha and Hero , the perfect couple . When would they divorce be final ?   Early in the New Year I guess .
