Kate Walsh: "Heart will go on" even after divorce
The 'Private Practice' star Kate Walsh didn't think she'd end up splitting from Alex Young after just 15 months of marriage.

"I don't think anyone gets married thinking that they will get divorced," Kate Walsh says in the March issue of Redbook. "We certainly did not.
"Alex and I still care for each other, and I wish him nothing but the best," she continues. "The silver lining to this, however, is that I have a wonderful family and a great group of friends who really showed their support and encouragement, and for that I am truly grateful."
Last November, the pair separated due to irreconcilable differences, according to court papers Young filed.
41-year-old Walsh says her friends don't judge her for divorcing so quickly.
"I have gone through ups and down, and it's human nature for someone to judge and say, 'Here's what you need to do,'" she says. "But the most truly useful thing to do is to shut up and listen and tell the person that you're there for them unequivocally."
Kate Walsh is resolved to move forward.
"I have always been the girl who keeps on trying. I try! I try!" she says.
Kate also opens up about being deeply insecure when it comes to dating.
"I second-guess myself all the time. I make a decision and then wonder if I made the wrong choice," she says.
"Sometimes I come off as confident, but really I am a quivering little wharf rat underneath who is radically insecure and deeply in need of love and understanding," she goes on.
