On July 30, 1997 they got seperated and Jeff moved out.
She said about the seperation: "Jeff and I have been together for over six
and a half years, we've been through a lot, and we've learned much from each
other. However, we have come to realize that both of us have some growing
to do, and we need to be on our own for a while. There has always been much
more depth to our relationship than the press or public could see. Jeff and
I love each other very much, and that's going to continue".
In October 1997 she officially filed for divorce. Neve is still single although

Now some facts I found through different websites!!! Neve does not like scary movies! She screams a lot when watching them and gets nightmares afterwards for weeks! But she loves making them! She believes in ghosts and she claims that her old house in Laurel Canyon was haunted. A woman was murdered in it around 1991. Neve was picked on in high school and she had a low self esteem because of that. She uses yoga and meditation to keep her calm and to give her energy. Her dog is a shi-tzu named Buster. She loves to sing, dance, swim and go horseback riding, and she also enjoys rollerblading and listening to classical music. Dancing is still very important to her and she built a dance studio in the basement of her house so it is easier for her to find time to work on it. She also uses it to handle most of her problems or just to escape the busyness of her life. She was nicknamed 'Fog Horn' by her co-stars on "Party of Five". She has a very dark sarchastic sense of humor that a lot of people find a bit offensive, and Neve often has to restrain herself in order to avoid offending too much. She also has a lot of humor and laughs easily and often. She has a hobby of making jewelry for herself. She drives a '97 Porsche 911 Carrera She hates to cook, but loves to invite people over to her home for barbecues. Neve smokes... Marlboro Lights. |
