Wow! It’s not often we are this taken aback by a celebrity relationship update, but… yeah, wow. In case you missed the shocking news, last month Michelle Branch was arrested for domestic assault against her husband Patrick Carney after allegedly slapping him across the face.

We quickly learned she had struck the Black Keys drummer during a fight over his cheating! We learned this from Michelle herself as the Everywhere singer tweeted then deleted allegations specifically accusing him of cheating with a co-worker while she was at home with their 6-month-old baby. (Apparently prosecutors figured the same that we did — no jury would convict the pop star after hearing that! — because they dropped the charges less than two weeks later.)

The real surprise came now, almost exactly a month later, when we learned the couple are NOT splitting up after all! Or at least, they’re going to try.

In legal docs filed in Tennessee on Tuesday, People discovered the couple are suspending their divorce and giving their marriage another chance!
