Theirs was a love story made in cyberspace.

It took a simple Facebook message from one Kelly Hildebrandt to another Kelly Hildebrandt to get the wheels of love turning.

When the virtual relationship blossomed despite geographical differences — she was from Florida, he from Texas — they became instant celebrities, their real-life relationship capturing the hearts of romantics around the world and their wedding pictures making it into the pages of People magazine.

But it seems the two are no longer Facebook friends. The young couple filed for divorce in July, according Broward County, Fl., court records. The case is still pending.

“How do they term it at the courthouse? Irreconcilable differences, that is what I would say,” the male Hildebrandt recently told NBC news. “We gave it our best shot.”

He did not respond to a request from the Star for comment. It is believed his ex-wife is no longer on Facebook.

But back in the 2009, the lovebirds were eager to talk to the Star about their burgeoning romance — and why their story had resonated with the public.

“Everybody likes a good love story,” said male Kelly. The relationship had started he had received a private message from female Kelly saying hello, and remarking on their common name. He replied back, and the two soon began chatting online.

After a whirlwind of visits, the two got engaged. The couple married in October of 2009 and male Kelly moved to Florida where he planned to continue working as a financial advisor. But even back then, he was nervous about the move: “It’s hard to get a cowboy out of Texas,” he said.

According to his Facebook page, he has moved back to his hometown.
