Is Debra Messing getting divorced because she’s dating her “Smash” costar?

Last week, we discussed the impending divorce between Debra Messing and her husband of ten years, television producer Daniel Zelman. In response, many of you brought up the Coke Mom blind items as a possible reason for the split. Of course, no one entirely knows exactly what’s going on in that regard, but there’s another complicating factor for the equation. Us Weekly has exclusively revealed that Debra is now dating fellow actor Will Chase, who is a Broadway veteran and whose IMDb profile reveals several short stints on various television programs including “Pan Am,” “Rescue Me,” and “One Life to Live.” Apparently, Debra and Will have fallen very hard for each other on the set of their upcoming show, “Smash.” Here’s a photo of Will, who I don’t think is nearly as attractive as Daniel, but what do I know?

Debra Messing is moving on.

The actress, 43, who announced exclusively to Us Weekly on Dec. 20 that she and her producer husband of 10 years Daniel Zelman had split earlier this year, has already found love again.

An insider tells Us that Messing has fallen for actor Will Chase, her costar (their characters share a romantic past!) on the NBC musical drama Smash.

“Debra and Will have been together for about six weeks,” says the insider. “She is completely smitten with him.” And while the relationship is still new, it’s already serious.

According to the source, Chase 41, has left his wife of two years, stage actress Stephanie Gibson (Chase has two tween daughters, Gracie and Daisy, from a previous marriage).

“Will didn’t break up Debra and Daniel. It was over before she met Will,” the source clarifies of Messing and Zelman, 44, who amicably share son Roman, 7, and will “continue to live together with their son, then gradually transition into a new living situation,” they explained to Us in a statement.

Last time, I expressed a wish that celebrity (or any) couples would stop referring to their splits as entirely “amicable” because even if one party isn’t all torn up about a divorce, the other most certainly carries some degree of animosity. Certainly, a ten-year marriage can’t end amicably if one party was, say, sleeping around with someone else, which would almost certainly lead to the end of the prior relationship. And if the “Coke Mom” blinds really are true, I truly hope Daniel fights for full custody of he and Debra’s son.
