this was cut and pasted after i just read it on aol....

Last spring, Skating with Celebrities star Lloyd Eisler and his wife, Marcia, were happily anticipating the arrival of their second child, with observers describing them as "such a great couple."

That was then. Now Eisler, the former World Champion pairs skater, is with Kristy Swanson, the actress he partnered with on FOX's Skating with Celebrities.

As reported in PEOPLE's new issue, the 42-year-old Eisler – currently separated from the mother of his two children (Seth, 10 weeks, and older brother Ethan, 21 months) – is now openly dating the former Playboy playmate, 36, best known for starring in the 1992 film Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Says their Skating competitor Bruce Jenner, who saw them at a recent press event: "They seem to be very happy."

According to one source on the set of the show (which premiered in January but taped in the fall), the pair's away-from-the-rink relationship was an open secret: "Everyone knew there was something going on. It was obvious they were together."

Well, not to everyone. "I just noticed that they got really good (at skating)," Jenner tells PEOPLE. "I never knew anything until I saw it on the news."

As for Marcia, 31, who visited the L.A. set last fall, she "felt a vibe that things weren't normal," says a friend of Eisler's. Still, Marcia's suspicions weren't confirmed until, she claimed, Swanson forwarded her an e-mail that Eisler had sent her. (Neither Swanson nor Eisler will comment on either the e-mail or their relationship except to say that Eisler's marriage was over before he started seeing Swanson.)

Marcia confronted her husband, and on Nov. 5, Eisler moved out of his and Marcia's home in tiny Bath, Ont. (population 1,000), to an apartment in Kingston, 15 miles away. "We became officially separated Nov. 30," says Marcia, who gave birth to Seth two weeks later.

Although the couple have yet to get a divorce, she's already gone back to her maiden name, Marcia O'Brien, and she's also changed the children's last names to hers.

You know. I haven't been paying attention. Any news on how Demi Moore and Boy toy Ashton Kuetcher (sp?) are doing? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

No news on Demi and Ashton lately...

the big things now is Angelina and Brad...I used to be a big Brad Pitt fan (never like Angelina though)...Now, I can't stand the sight of him...funny how your whole perspective on life changes after DDay...

it's funny - a magazine I had said "They started dating after lloyd offcially seperated from his wife in the wall" Swanson's Rep said.

IMMMEDIATlY I thought hmmm....when did the seperation take place and when did the show start taping..................

I TOTALLY agree!!!! And, it's everywhere!!! My best friend and my sister BOTH are OW. It's very hard to keep my true feelings to myself (and would be hypocritical because I was an OW in the past -- and NEVER would be again).

My best friend was telling me last night that the BS in her relationship is "crazy" and "has lost her mind". What this meant was that the BS is bugging her and her husband's phone, her husband's office and his car. She is calling the OW (my friend), etc., etc. To myself, I thought to the BS, "You go girl!!!" She and her husband have four YOUNG children together and she has always been a SAHM. The A has been going on for 7 years and the WS STILL denies it -- even after BS hearing phone calls, etc. Of course, he is now going to "speed up" the divorce process -- as soon as he's done denying he is having an A.

Ugh....

Chaka,

One of my dear friends is also an OW with a man 20 yrs older than her... This started last summer way before I ever thought I would be here. I didn't support her decision to continue the relationship, but primarily due to the fact that I didn't want her to be hurt, because I felt the man would never leave his wife...well, now I still don't support the relationship, but for different reasons...

I have also heard how the wife is CRAZY, and he has been trying to leave her for years but she is so unstable, blah blah blah...This man has told my friend that he is selling the house and will tell the wife that he has filed for divorce at the closing...nice guy, isn't he? And my friend believes all of this crap...they were meant to be together, you know, they can't live without each other...

My friend is one person who knows about my H's A, and has become very distant from me since finding out about this. I think that she has seen how much pain this has caused me, and it makes her wonder if the WS will really leave his wife...

Yeah, I love my friend and my sister to death, but I do have a hard time sincerely engaging in conversations about their "boyfriends". I used to say "Never say never -- it could happen to ANYBODY." But, one thing I have learned from this experience is that I will NEVER be an OW again and I will NEVER be a wayward spouse/girlfriend.

Peachy I think that by the quickness on witch she kicked him out and not only filed for divorce but she also took back her maiden name and she changed the kids last name too,
that this was not the first time he cheated on her.

Swanson sounds like a nice young lady too, doesn't she? This will be a relationship founded on trust, love, and understanding. They will be soulmates forever...

Trade in your loving wife and two brand-spanking new children for a manipulative sleazebag? Yes please.
