Buckle up, pop culture addicts—2025 has been a soap opera in the lives of celebrities when it comes to their love lives. Last year’s breakups were hardly surprising, but the 2025 roster of heartbreaks has had announcements of jaw-dropping proportions, tears-stained releases, and more Hollywood drama than an entire season of reality TV can contain. From power couples breaking up to fan favorites saying goodbye, here are the 10 most newsworthy celebrity divorces and breakups of 2025—counting down to the most shocking of them all.
10. Jessica Alba & Cash Warren
After almost 20 years together, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have ended their marriage. The Honey actress shared the news on Instagram, reflecting on the couple’s journey since tying the knot in 2008 while pregnant with their first child. Alba emphasized that their kids remain the focus as they move forward separately. For fans who grew up rooting for this relationship, the announcement was a gut punch.
9. Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin
The Fifty Shades actress and Coldplay lead singer maintained their romance intimately private for almost eight years. But sources claim their most recent breakup is “for real this time.” Although the pair were seldom in the news throughout their relationship, the split has followers wondering what went wrong behind the scenes of Hollywood’s most unobtrusive love story.
8. Nina Dobrev & Shaun White
Dating 2024 and apparently happier than ever, Nina Dobrev and Olympic snowboarder Shaun White stunned fans when they announced they’d decided to break up. Both emphasized that the breakup was amicable and made in love and respect, but for fans who adored their sporty, loving couple persona, the split still hurt.
7. Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban
One of Hollywood’s longest-lasting marriages ended this year when Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban announced their break-up after 19 years. They were reported to have lived apart since the early summer, with Kidman trying to fix the marriage before eventually concentrating on bringing up their two daughters. The break-up took followers by surprise—it was one of the year’s most shocking.
6. Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt
The Brangelina saga finally came to an end in 2025. After years of court fights, custody wars, and even vineyard soap operas, Jolie and Pitt completed their divorce. Though the agreement settled spousal maintenance, lingering disagreements over their French vineyard are just one of many reasons the tale is not fully told. Nevertheless, for Hollywood’s former golden couple, it is the conclusion to a long and messy book.
5. Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson
Following over a decade of marriage, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson quietly broke up. Simpson revealed that the two had been living separately for some time, calling it a painful experience, but committed to safeguarding their children. A week later, she listed her Los Angeles property for sale—yet another distinct indicator of times changing.
4. Scott & Kelley Wolf
Party of Five alumnus Scott Wolf and his wife, Kelley Wolf, dissolved their 21-year marriage. In a touching post, Kelley complimented Scott as an amazing partner and dad, emphasizing the couple’s resolve to co-parent. Their breakup was one of the year’s most harmonious, but the fans who admired their long-term union still felt the pain.
3. Fortune Feimster & Jacquelyn Smith
Comedian Fortune Feimster and her wife, Jacelyn Smith, filed for divorce after four years of marriage. Blaming irreconcilable differences and family health issues, the pair posted a joint Instagram statement wishing each other happiness while marking their decade-long relationship. Fans of Feimster’s stand-up and sitcom career mourned her loss but praised the couple for being open.
2. Naomi Osaka & Cordae
Tennis sensation Naomi Osaka and rapper Cordae announced their breakup at the beginning of the year. Osaka posted on Instagram to assure fans that the break-up was drama-free, complimenting Cordae as a person and as a father to daughter Shai. It was one of the breakups of 2025, though fans are grieving the demise of the athlete-rapper couple.
1. Grant Ellis & Juliana Pasquarosa
Bachelor viewers were left aghast when Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa broke up barely three months after his on-air proposal. Both released touching messages on giving the relationship their all, but eventually coming to the conclusion that they weren’t the right pair to last the distance. For viewers who watched each rose ceremony, this was the year’s most dramatic and tearful breakup.
From long-standing marriages disintegrating to reality TV romances fizzling out quickly, 2025 has shown that celebrity love affairs, too, aren’t meant to last a lifetime. Whether mourning the official dissolution of Brangelina or still holding out hope for Dakota and Chris to get back together, this much is sure: Hollywood breakups might shatter hearts, but they will never cease to fascinate us.
