Celebrity Couples Who Broke Up In 2025

If you thought 2024 was a banner year for heartbreak, buckle up — 2025 is here to give it a run for its money. Last year, Hollywood saw its fair share of splits: Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly's on-again, off-again relationship hit another snag (but who knows if they will eventually get back together?). Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum ended their engagement, and Kravitz's mom, Lisa Bonet, called it quits with Jason Momoa — officially, this time. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's second chance at love fizzled out (again), Britney Spears and Sam Asghari said their goodbyes on paper, and Christina Haack closed the chapter on her third marriage.

2025 came in hot with its own wave of breakups in its first few weeks alone. The new year wasted no time building its roster of splits, and it might just surpass 2024 as the ultimate year of celebrity heartbreak. Without further ado, here are the celebrity couples who've called it quits in 2025.

When two outrageously good-looking people break up, it feels like a blow to the rest of us mere mortals. And kicking off the 2025 breakup season? Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler. TMZ let it slip that the pair, who got together in 2021, quietly split at the tail end of 2024. The first red flag, apparently, is Butler's conspicuous absence from the Gerber clan's family vacation in Mexico.

Officially, the breakup was considered amicable, and sources chalk it up to the relationship simply fizzling out. After all, three years together in celebrity time is practically forever. Then again, insiders claim the real culprit might be Kaia's famously over-involved parents, Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber. Apparently, they took it upon themselves to grill Butler about his intentions with their daughter.

"What really sealed the deal about the break up is the talk Kaia's parents had with Austin about his relationship with their daughter. He didn't appreciate the fact they butted into their relationship. It rubbed Austin up the wrong way," a source told the Daily Mail, adding that the model was justifiably disappointed over what her parents had done. "She's partly blaming her parents for the talk they had with Austin telling him he could be wasting the best years of Kaia's life because he wasn't making a solid commitment. Kaia's told her parents they had no right to come between them."

On the marriage front, 2025 has already claimed its first big casualty: Jessica Alba and Cash Warren. After nearly 17 years of marriage, the couple is calling it quits, according to a January 2025 report by TMZ. The split leaves one major question mark, though — how they'll juggle custody of their three kids, Honor, Haven, and Hayes. As for the reason? No official word yet as of this writing, but let's just say the red flags have been waving for a while.

Exhibit A: Alba herself once described their dynamic as more "roommates" than romantic partners. On the "Before, During & After Baby" podcast, the "Honey" star told Katherine Schwarzenegger (via People), "It's all rosy for two-and-a-half years. But then after that you become roommates. You're just going through the motions, the responsibilities. It's a lot of like checking the boxes."

Meanwhile, six months before the news dropped that they were headed to Splitsville, Warren got candid about their marriage struggles, although he lauded Alba for being a solid partner at the time. "I think, ultimately, the friendship and support and just knowing that your partner has your back means everything to us," he told Us Weekly. "I think that would be the secret, is just having each other's back. It's hard work, but we roll up our sleeves and we do it. It's wild. It's the longest relationship I could have ever imagined."

As for Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson, the pair announced that they were throwing in the towel after 10 years of marriage. It was Simpson herself who broke the news of their split, telling People in a statement, "Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage," she said, adding that they are still committed to co-parenting their three kids, Maxwell, Birdie Mae, and Ace Knute, and that remains their top priority. "Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family."

This split didn't come from nowhere, though, with sources dishing that they have been living separately for months before the announcement. And apparently, Simpson has long been quietly cooking up an album about the whole messy ordeal. "It will be about her broken heart, so, yeah, I guess you can call it a revenge, a heartbreak album,' an insider told the Daily Mail just shortly after Simpson's revelation, noting that the album has been in the works for years at that point. "When Jessica writes music, she pours her heart into it and has no filter, it's very personal. So the album will really be about the struggles she has been through at home. It is super emotional and shares her side of the story." Guess we'll just have to wait for the album to drop to know all the tea!

It's hardly shocking when couples from reality shows like "The Bachelor" call it quits. After all, the franchise has a track record of whirlwind romances that fizzle out post-final rose. But after meeting on the show's 25th season and briefly splitting, Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell managed to stretch their love story past the usual expiration date. That is, until January 2025, when James shocked fans with news that they had called it quits. "Give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts. Give us a peace about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding," he wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post (via ABC News).

Meanwhile, Kirkconnell had been quiet for a while, but ultimately broke her silence on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, dishing that it was James who pulled the plug when they vacationed in Tokyo. "He said that at the end of the day, there were just qualities about me that he worries about having in a wife. Like at the end of the day ... There are things that we aren't compatible with," she said.

But despite the heartbreak, Kirkconnell told Us Weekly she had started healing and even considers the breakup somewhat of a necessity. "I'm a very firm believer in thinking that it was a blessing in disguise and everything happens for a reason, and that that's just something that needed to happen in my life," she explained. "I'm doing good and things are OK." And don't count her out just yet — Kirkconnell isn't ruling out a big comeback on Bachelor Nation. "Never say never," she told the New York Post. "But I think right now, I would really have to consider if that would be the right move for me."

Lily Allen and David Harbour might have kept their romance relatively under the radar, but their split? Not so subtle — and definitely not painless. The duo reportedly met on the celeb-favorite dating app Raya in 2019; hard-launched their love on the red carpet that October; and by September 2020, they were hitched in true whirlwind fashion: a Vegas wedding, complete with an Elvis impersonator.

Harbour, best known for his role on "Stranger Things," even stepped up to become a father figure to Allen's two daughters, Marnie Rose and Ethel Mary, both of whom he credited for encouraging him to get down on one knee — and he wouldn't have it any other way. "I married a beautiful, incredible woman who I love. I have never met someone who is so deeply kind as her," he gushed to People. "I've never felt so taken care of and cared for by another human being. She really is just a deeply kind individual and I love that about her."

Sadly, by the end of 2024, things weren't looking so rosy, and it started with fans noticing Allen ditching her wedding ring. By February 2025, news finally broke that the pair had officially ended their marriage. The singer apparently found Harbour sneaking around with a secret Raya profile — and yes, this is the very same app where they first met, per the Daily Mail. And while Allen didn't corroborate this rumor, she got candid about how the split had been incredibly tough for her and her kids. "I'm really not in a good place. I know I've been talking about it for months, but I've been spiraling and spiraling and spiraling, and it's got out of control," she confessed on the "Miss Me?" podcast.

Ah, yes — the couple everyone low-key rooted against, only for them to come out stronger ... until they didn't. Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino first got linked in 2018, got engaged in 2022 (still no wedding in sight), and rode out a few good years before finally calling it quits in March 2025. For a while, though, they looked solid — especially after Sweeney shut down "Anyone But You" romance rumors with co-star Glen Powell by saying she and Davino were "teammates" and thriving as film-producing partners. "We're in it together," she told Glamour. "And we want to see each other succeed."

But sources say the breakup had been brewing for a while. "She's exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd," an insider told People. "She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects." Wedding planning reportedly felt off, and according to the same source, Sweeney just wasn't ready. "They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off," they added. "They didn't split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now."

So, does this mean Powell is back on the table? Fans were hopeful when Sweeney showed up to his sister's wedding — but, sorry, she was just there as a very popular guest. "Timing is everything in this world, isn't it? She and Syd are obviously great friends and it was a hell of a wedding," Powell dished in a "Today" interview. "The Powells know how to do it right, so all the people that love her were there."

"Abbott Elementary" star Quinta Brunson has spent years making the public laugh, whether on television or in various internet skits. Unfortunately, it's safe to say Brunson probably isn't having a very happy 2025. According to People, the ABC star filed to divorce her husband, Kevin Anik, in March 2025 after three years of marriage. Brunson filed over "irreconcilable differences" and she also indicated that she wanted Anik to pay for his own legal representation (just as she would).

Her divorce came as a shock to many of her fans, who didn't know she was married due to the ultra-private nature of their relationship. And she would have very much preferred to keep her divorce as private as their relationship. "I remember seeing people be like, 'She announced her divorce,'" Brunson shared with Bustle in June 2025. "I didn't announce anything. I think people have this idea that people in the public eye want the public to know their every move. None of us do. I promise you." Brunson continued, "No one wants [everyone] to know when you buy a house, when you move, when a major change happens in your personal life. It's just that that's public record information."

JoJo Siwa and her ex-girlfriend Kath Ebbs had one of the most talked-about breakups of 2025. While appearing on "Celebrity Big Brother UK," Siwa, who previously identified as a lesbian, met her current partner, Chris Hughes, who was also a contestant on the show. And though both parties have denied it, the internet thinks their relationship started before the former child star broke things off with Ebbs. But that's not even the most dramatic part of Siwa's breakup with Ebbs by a long shot.

Following their breakup, which happened around the time Siwa concluded her time on "CBBUK," the singer-dancer denied that Hughes played a role in her breakup with Ebbs. "Chris does not have absolutely anything to do with it," Siwa said during an appearance on the "Viall Files" podcast (via Independent). "Chris and I are friends, we have a very great friendship. It's a very special bond unlike any friendship I've ever created but my situations are completely unrelated and that kind of got misconstrued."

As for the motivation behind ending her previous relationship? Apparently, they had a fight at Siwa's wrap party for ""Celebrity Big Brother UK." She said, "I'm already having all these crazy thoughts and I need to formulate them." She continued, "All of a sudden we're having it [the conversation] and we're at the wrap party for 'Big Brother,' I'm getting cussed out. I understand why they're coming at me and why they're angry but I also keep reiterating that I'm not in a place to talk." From there, Siwa and Ebbs broke up.

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin ended their nearly decade-long relationship in the summer of 2025. According to People, the actor and the singer, who reportedly were no strangers to breaking up and making up during their eight years together, parted ways for good in June 2025. At least that's what an insider with apparent knowledge of the breakup seems to think. "It feels final this time," they said. With that said, neither party, who worked hard to keep the bulk of their relationship private, has actually formally announced their split, so there could be hope for them yet — at least one day in the future.

Unfortunately for fans who may be rooting for a reconciliation, Johnson is seemingly content with how the relationship dissolved. "Dakota's doing well. The split wasn't exactly a shock" since they "had the same issues for a while," an insider told People in late June. "She wants to live her life very intentionally — she doesn't want to have any regrets," they added. Plus, she has other things to occupy her time. "She loves all her creative projects and is excited about her career," they continued. "She believes there is more to life than work though. She wants a meaningful life on all levels."

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom also announced their breakup during the summer of 2025. However, the longtime pair reportedly broke things off at the top of the year, according to Us Weekly. "Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting," their teams shared in a statement. "They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect." The couple was also reportedly engaged and it's been said that Perry is grateful things ended before divorce was a factor. "It's not contentious at the moment," shared a different source. "Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life."

With that said, they remain committed to co-parenting their daughter, Daisy. In fact, E News! caught the former lovers out and about in July enjoying a little vacation with Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos. And by little vacation we mean a fabulous excursion to Italy, alongside their one and only child. Not long after, Perry basically broke the internet when her brief encounter with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went public. However, their relationship is reportedly not progressing, per People. "Katy isn't looking to date right now," shared an insider. "She's still in the middle of a tour; she's a single mom and navigating some major personal changes."
