Celebrity breakups have always been the main news that catches people's attention, especially with several celebrity breakups that have left their fans in shock. Picture-perfect relationships that always looked like they were meant to be, like those of Zoe Kravitz, Lupita Nyong'o, Halle Bailey, and Jennifer Lopez, among others, end up not being what everyone expected.
From red-carpet appearances to flexing social media posts, these celebrity couples once showed great promise but later faced emotional battles in the public eye. Despite their fame and fortune, these stars remind us that celebrities having relationships in the spotlight comes with pressures, where every decision and disagreement risks becoming headline news.
Closer look at celebrity couples whose breakups broke hearts
1) Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum
Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum were seen in the limelight for the first time in August 2021. The celebrity couple first sparked dating rumors while working on the set of Pussy Island, a film Kravitz directed. However, in 2024, reports confirmed their breakup, leaving fans shocked. Sources close to the pair cited busy schedules and conflicting priorities as the primary reasons for the split.
Both Kravitz and Tatum have thriving careers, and balancing their personal life with professional obligations probably proved quite a challenge. Though no evidence of dating has surfaced since the breakup, Kravitz is currently working on new acting roles, and Tatum is still active in the film industry, having recently done a cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine.
2) Lupita Nyong'o and Joshua Jackson
In early 2019, in a surprise move, came the blossoming relationship between Lupita Nyong'o and Joshua Jackson—they quickly rose to fame. It is, however, a fairly private relationship. By 2021, the celebrity couple drew more attention, seemingly serious in their relationship, as Nyong'o took to social media to flex her beau.
Their seemingly perfect relationship ended unexpectedly in late 2024. Neither Nyong'o nor Jackson publicly commented on the split, although the former did insinuate an October 2024 interview with Harper's Bazaar UK.
3) Halle Bailey and DDG
Halle Bailey and DDG started dating in early 2022 and often shared glimpses of their relationship on social media. Bailey, fresh off her breakout role in The Little Mermaid, seemed to find comfort and joy in her relationship with DDG, a rapper and YouTube star. They also have a son, Halo, born on December 22, 2023.
Their breakup in 2024 was rather unexpected, given how they were seen everywhere showing their love for one another. Bailey and DDG's separation is one of the most memorable moments for young couples in Hollywood. DDG confirmed their split through an Instagram story, saying:
"After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways. The decision was not easy, but we believe it's the best part forward for both of us. I cherish the time we've spent together and the love we shared."
4) Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first met in 2002 during the filming of Gigli, and by November of that year, they were engaged. However, their wedding was postponed in 2003, and they eventually ended things in January 2004.
They'd returned to each other in April 2021 after several other partners and having their own families. In 2022, the two proposed yet again and got married in Las Vegas in July of that same year. Lopez filed for divorce after several months in August 2024.
5) Cardi B and Offset
Cardi B and Offset's relationship has been full of ups and downs. They married in 2017, gaining attention for their passionate connection. Despite facing public scrutiny, reconciliations, and drama, they remained a strong couple, especially in parenting.
In August 2024, the celebrity couple announced their separation for various reasons, including trust issues and disagreements. This further complicated the already complicated relationship this celebrity couple had, and many wonder if they will ever get back together.
6) Madelyn Cline and Pete Davidson
Madelyn Cline and Pete Davidson's romance became a media sensation in July 2024 after they were seen together on several outings. The celebrity couple quickly attracted attention for their fun and easygoing chemistry.
However, the couple's relationship ended just a few months later, shocking many fans. Neither Cline nor Davidson has spoken out publicly about the reasons for their breakup, but rumors circulated that their tight schedules and different ways of living could have been a factor in the breakup. Even with its short duration, it was one of the most talked-about celebrity breakups of the year.
7) Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr.
Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr. have been rumored to be dating since late 2023. Their connection gained attention through public appearances, including at the Super Bowl and Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in early 2024.
Their breakup was announced to the world in March 2024, and fans were quite disappointed. While the real reason for their breakup is unknown, there are many who say that their busy schedules and different priorities were the cause of the end of this short-lived relationship.
The world of celebrity couple breakups is always full of surprises, heartbreaks, and headlines. Tales of quiet breakups, such as Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum, to extremely short romances, such as Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr., show the many ways that relationships can be complicated when a person is under the watchful eye of the public.
