Sad Birthday for Rhys Ifans

Matthew Rhys: Rhys Ifans must be having the worst 40th birthday - ever.

As recently as March of 2008, Rhys and then-fiancee Sienna Miller were planning a romantic wedding on a private beach in Mexico. Then, all hell seems to have broken loose. The couple started to go through a rough patch, with Sienna claiming that Rhys's "jealous" streak was causing problems. Then it got worse - allegations that Sienna was back with ex-love Matthew Rhys (how's that for irony - Rhys and Rhys?) caused Ifans to break into a jealous rage, and suddenly the wedding was off.

Then came the real humiliation. Just a couple of weeks ago, Sienna and Balthazar Getty, heir to the Getty family oil fortune (his great-grandfather is the late multi-billionaire Jean Paul Getty, founder of the Getty Oil Company, and at one time one of the richest men in the world), were seen cavorting together in the nude on Italy's Amalfi coast, which must have been a crushing blow to Rhys, so soon after the break-up.

And now, to add insult to injury on what should be a happy 40th celebration for the Welsh funnyman, there are rumors flying around that Sienna is planning on moving in with Balthazar Getty, just a day after his reps confirmed that he has indeed separated from his wife , mother to their four children.

Wow, I feel sorry for you Rhys! I hope you make the most of birthday - happy birthday to you. Or, as the Welsh would say it, "Penblwydd Hapus."
