Alyssa Explains Brief Marriage

Alyssa Milano , who plays a good witch on TV's Charmed, felt compelled to explain her brief marriage to Cinjun Tate , front man of the L.A.-based band Remy Zero, to Cosmopolitan.

Milano says she met Tate at a Hollywood bash, had an engagement ring four months later, and tied the knot New Year's Day, 1999. "I really liked being the wife and taking care of him," she says. "And believe me, he was a handful, but it was totally worth it."

In December, 1999, she filed for divorce. "It was such a cliche -- an actress who marries a musician and then gets divorced 11 months later. I guess I didn't think it through properly -- it should have grown into a friendship and remained that, period ... I mean he was always on the road."
