Source: AP A COUPLE who hooked up via Facebook then married because they have the same name have divorced. Kelly Carl Hildebrandt and Kelly Karina Hildebrandt have decided to pull the plug on their three-year marriage after learning that having identical names doesn't necessarily mean a marriage made in heaven. "We gave it our best shot," husband Kelly Carl Hildebrandt, told US TV network NBC. The pair, whose improbable Facebook romance captured worldwide attention in 2009, have filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences." "She's a Florida girl, and I'm a Texas guy," Kelly Carl Hildebrandt of Lubbock, Texas, said. We really did come from pretty different worlds. "I'm from Texas and she's from Florida," said Kelly Carl Hildebrandt, pictured here with Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt when they met in 2008. The couple are divorcing. Their modern romance was a match made in cyberspace. Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt was curious and bored one night in 2008, so she plugged her name into Facebook just to see if anyone shared it. At the time, Kelly Carl Hildebrandt, of Lubbock, Texas, was the only match. So she sent him a message. She said 'Hi. We had the same name. Thought it was cool,'" Kelly Carl Hildebrandt said. I thought she was pretty cute. But there were also concerns. "I thought, man, we've got to be related or something," he said. For the next three months the two exchanged e-mails. Before he knew it, occasional phone calls turned into daily chats, sometimes lasting hours. He visited her in Florida after a few months and "fell head over heels." "I thought it was fun," he said of that first online encounter. I had no idea that it would lead to this. They married in 2009.
