They got together, the romance fizzled out or something just did not click. Whatever the reasons, these couples decided to part ways, and start afresh. Here’s looking at celebrity break-ups that created a buzz this year.
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp
A messy divorce that got really ugly. Heard filed for divorce from Depp in May after one year of marriage. Heard accused Depp of domestic violence.
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston
This whirlwind romance just fell apart under intense public scrutiny. Swift had just split from her ex DJ/producer Calvin Harris, earlier that month. Swift and Hiddleston were last spotted together on July 27, when they held hands during a dinner date at Hillstone restaurant in Santa Monica, California.
Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt after two years of marriage and things just got ugly with allegations and counter allegations doing the rounds. This break-up shook people’s faith in love.
After all, if one of the most good- looking couples could not make it work, is there any hope that the rest can?
Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart
A source close to the former couple claimed dance choreographer Casper Smart cheated on the 47-year-old superstar. While neither confirmed the split, both hinted at their break-up on social media. “New experiment,” Smart wrote on Instagram. “Gonna try to live old school for a little while. Going back to a time before social media. Gonna focus on personal connections over a type and text existence.” Lopez, meanwhile, offered a statement of her own, “Protect your heart.”
Mariah Carey and James Packer
The duo got engaged only to go their separate ways. The split was an expensive affair and according to sources, prior to their break-up, Carey and Packer had been discussing a prenup. There’s also buzz about a prenup, which was for around $50 million, a claim disputed by another source.
Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman
Reportedly separated since October 2015, the pair officially split in April after nearly four years of marriage. The split wasn’t easy for Barrymore, with a source saying, “Drew is really bummed that it didn’t work out. They really tried hard towards the end to make it work, but they decided going their separate ways was best.”
Justin Bieber and Sofia Richie
Theirs started with a PDA-filled trip to Mexico, but that did not last long. Justin and Sofia broke off their six-week-long relationship in mid-September. A source confirmed to People, “They’re broken up for now.”
Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts
After 11 years together, the duo confirmed their split with a statement that read, “Over the past few months, we’ve come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple. It is with great love, respect and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship. While we appreciate your curiousity and support, we ask the press to be mindful of our children...”
