00:00We're told he felt Nicole wasn't showing up for him emotionally and felt that it was time to walk
00:05away. Welcome to Ms. Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the most notable celebrity
00:12breakups that took us by surprise and those that we easily could have predicted. The 26-year-old
00:18rapper says he and the Little Mermaid star will focus on our individual journeys and our roles
00:23as co-parents. Number 5. Saw It Coming. Britney Spears and Sam Asghari. When her relationship
00:32with Sam Asghari ended in 2023, Britney Spears admitted she was quote a little shocked but
00:39honestly she might have been the only one. The couple first met in 2016 on the set of
00:44Spears' Slumber Party music video and began dating soon after.
00:55Many fans questioned Asghari's motives from the start especially considering their age gap.
01:02For a while though he seemed like the perfect boyfriend standing by Spears through her
01:07conservatorship battle. He's been going above and beyond for his girlfriend and feels so proud
01:12she finally got this moment. Quote, it's her liberation and it's a long time coming. The two
01:16finally tied the knot in 2022 after Spears regained her freedom. But things didn't last long. Within a
01:24year, Asghari had filed for divorce. He reportedly claimed that Spears was abusive towards him but many
01:30fans saw the breakup as confirmation of what they'd suspected all along. Their arguments have led them
01:35to become unhappy at times in their relationship. They are also on different pages when it comes to
01:40their future as a couple which has been a point of contention. Number five. Shocked Us. Hugh Jackman
01:47and Deborah Lee Furness. In Hollywood, a marriage that stays out of the headlines is often a sign of
01:53stability. And for many years, that was the case with Hugh Jackman and Deborah Lee Furness. After meeting in
01:591995 on the set of the Australian TV show Corelli, the two got married one year later, long before
02:06Jackman became an international star. Despite the 13-year age difference, Jackman and Furness seemed to
02:23share a loving bond and often spoke affectionately about each other. For nearly three decades,
02:29their relationship remained free of scandal, which made it all the more shocking when,
02:33in September 2023, they announced their separation after 27 years of marriage.
02:39We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful,
02:44loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our
02:49individual growth. Although the exact reason behind their split remains unclear,
02:54Furness had described feeling, quote, betrayed by Jackman.
02:57Now, after that statement hit the press, we've seen on Hugh Jackman's Instagram,
03:02he's posted a video of himself skipping to the song Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC with the caption,
03:08finally. Whether that is a coincidence or a pointed message, we do not know.
03:12Number four, sidecoming, Taylor Swift and Maddie Healy.
03:17Dating rumors between Taylor Swift and Maddie Healy first surfaced in 2014,
03:21but they were never confirmed. The two reconnected in 2023, shortly after Swift's breakup with her
03:27longtime boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, and they began dating. The sighting comes after Taylor performed
03:33to a packed crowd for the second night, where Maddie was spotted having the time of his life.
03:39The timing left many fans feeling that this was nothing more than a rebound. Things unfolded rather,
03:45well, swiftly. Public displays of affection, surprise appearances at each other's shows,
03:50and relentless paparazzi coverage, all within a few weeks.
03:54A couple was spotted leaving a recording studio in Manhattan in the wee hours of the morning.
03:59Taylor sporting an NYU sweatshirt, and her new rocker boyfriend, Maddie Healy,
04:04is wearing the same outfit he was spotted in earlier in the day leaving Taylor's apartment.
04:08To some, it even seemed like Healy was using the relationship to rehabilitate his image
04:13after a string of past controversies. In the end, neither the supposed rebound nor the PR effect
04:19worked, and they split after about a month. Fans were not surprised. In fact, in many ways,
04:26they were relieved. A source tells ET Taylor and Maddie broke up. They're both extremely busy and
04:31realized they're not compatible with each other. Number four, shocked us, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris.
04:38Although he's now known for his blockbuster and superhero roles,
04:42Chris Pratt's rise to fame actually began in comedy.
04:45Honey, can you just clean up a little bit?
04:48I'll try. Don't expect much.
04:51Okay, I'll do it when I get her.
04:54You will?
04:54His goofy energy felt perfectly in sync with that of Anna Faris, a comedic powerhouse in her own right.
05:00So when the two began dating and later tied the knot in 2009,
05:04it seemed like a match made in comedy heaven.
05:06And I'm thrilled to be here with him and by his side. And I just, you know, I can't believe that
05:13my sweet husband is a movie star.
05:18On the surface, there were no public signs of trouble. No scandals or affairs splashed across
05:23the headlines. So when they announced their separation in 2017, the news stunned fans.
05:28In a joint statement, they explained, quote,
05:31we are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time and were really
05:36disappointed. We still love each other and will always cherish our time together.
05:42However, Pratt and Faris seemed to handle the breakup quite well.
05:45They went on to marry other people and have kept things friendly while co-parenting their son,
05:50Jack. Number three, saw it coming. Halle Bailey and DDG. There were several warning signs throughout
05:57Halle Bailey and DDG's relationship that suggested it was built on shaky ground. Their romance had
06:04blossomed quickly. After meeting in 2022, they began dating and welcomed a son the following year.
06:10The pair have kept their romance mainly out of spotlight, including never confirming they were
06:15expecting a baby together. Although Bailey was already a rising star, her fame skyrocketed in
06:212023 with her lead role in The Little Mermaid. Around that time, DDG released a song titled Famous,
06:28which appeared to criticize Bailey for getting too close to her co-stars during the film's press tour.
06:33I'm trying to figure out what we gonna do. How we gonna get to the top. Filming the movie,
06:38now you kissing dudes. You know I love you a lot.
06:40Then in April 2024, the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking breakup rumors.
06:47Those rumors were confirmed in October when DDG announced their split. Adding,
06:52the decision was not easy, but we believe it's the best path forward for both of us.
06:57I cherish the time we've spent together and the love we shared. Since then, the situation has worsened,
07:04with both parties accusing each other of abuse and filing restraining orders.
07:08Number 3. Shocked Us. Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli.
07:13The actress's rep telling the outlet,
07:16They are living apart and taking a break from their marriage. Adding,
07:20There is no legal proceedings at this time.
07:23Full house actor Lori Loughlin married fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli in 1997,
07:29two years after first meeting him. For many years, the couple maintained a low-profile,
07:34scandal-free life. That all changed in 2019, when they became embroiled in one of the biggest
07:39celebrity controversies of the year. Loughlin and Giannulli were accused of paying $500,000 in bribes
07:46to secure their daughter's admission to the University of Southern California.
07:50They've been quietly going about their lives, awaiting their next court date set for January 17th.
07:56But according to a Loughlin source who spoke to People magazine, the new charge has left them
08:01panicked. They ultimately pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud,
08:06and were sentenced to varying prison terms. The scandal cost them several jobs and business
08:11opportunities, but they seemed to weather the storm together. However, in October 2025,
08:17after nearly 28 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation.
08:21As for how Lori and Mossimo's daughters, Bella and Olivia, are doing,
08:26our source says they're growing up and want to start fresh.
08:29Number 2. Saw It Coming. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
08:33These Hollywood superstars always looked like the picture-perfect couple.
08:38They began dating in 2004, after growing close on the sets of Pearl Harbor and Daredevil.
08:43Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a second. Take it easy.
08:47I don't like being touched.
08:51Why don't you tell me what you do like, and we'll start there.
08:54They ultimately tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2005, and welcomed three children together.
09:00But behind the smiles and red carpet moments, their relationship often sounded exhausting.
09:05Affleck once described their marriage as, quote,
09:08work, which wasn't the most romantic choice of words.
09:11I had gone on and said, like, how much we respect each other,
09:14and cared about each other, and cared about our kids,
09:16and put them first, and went through our stuff.
09:18And they said that I had blamed my ex-wife for my alcoholism,
09:22and that I was trapped in this marriage.
09:24And then came the infidelity rumors.
09:27Affleck was alleged to have had an affair with his children's nanny,
09:30which he denied repeatedly.
09:32By this time, the writing was already on the wall.
09:35In 2015, the couple announced that they were going their separate ways,
09:38and their divorce was finalized three years later.
09:41In the nearly two years since the split,
09:44Ben continued to celebrate holidays like Halloween and Christmas with his kids.
09:48Number two.
09:49Shocked us.
09:50Bill and Melinda Gates.
09:52For years, Bill and Melinda Gates seemed like the ultimate power couple.
09:56Married for nearly three decades,
09:58they built a family of three children,
10:00and co-founded the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
10:03one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the world.
10:06First of all, we agree on the broad goals of where we're going as a couple with this foundation.
10:11So that's first and foremost.
10:13We always have that in mind.
10:14But I don't think either of us is afraid of a little bit of grist in the conversation.
10:19By all indications, their relationship seemed rock solid,
10:22which made their divorce announcement in 2021 all the more shocking.
10:26It wasn't one moment or one specific thing that happened.
10:30There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn't healthy,
10:35and I couldn't trust what we had.
10:37At the time, they explained that they simply could no longer, quote,
10:40grow together as a couple.
10:42Although Melinda later cited deeper issues, such as the lack of trust,
10:46intimacy, and discomfort over Bill's association with Jeffrey Epstein.
10:50I also met Jeffrey Epstein exactly one time.
10:54Did you?
10:54Yes, because I wanted to see who this man was.
10:57And I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door.
11:02Even after the split, they promised to keep working together on their foundation.
11:06Although Melinda quietly stepped down as co-chair in 2024.
11:11Number one.
11:12Saw it coming.
11:13Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.
11:15The only shocking thing about Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries split was how quickly it happened.
11:20Just 72 days after saying I do in front of 10 million viewers on the E! Kardashian wedding special,
11:27it's over.
11:29Otherwise, most people saw the divorce coming from a mile away, even before they said I do.
11:34The pair tied the knot in a lavish wedding in August 2011, which later aired as a two-part E! special.
11:41But it was clear that they were mismatched from the start.
11:43Their on-screen interactions often appeared forced, and they had about as much chemistry as oil and water.
11:49We can just start pumping out babies.
11:55I think the reason I fell in love with you is because you could handle my career.
12:00And my career wasn't an issue for you.
12:02Public skepticism ran so deep that one online card company joked that they hoped,
12:08quote,
12:08Kim Kardashian's marriage lasts until her wedding special airs in October.
12:13Technically, it did.
12:14But on October 31st, only three weeks after the special was broadcast, Kardashian filed for divorce.
12:21Just hours before announcing her divorce with no sense of impending heartbreak,
12:25Kim took to Twitter to promote the family's new clothing store.
12:29Kardashian chaos has arrived.
12:31Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
12:35Saw It Coming, Giselle Bündchen and Tom Brady.
12:38Brady's decision to un-retire from the NFL was the final nail in the coffin.
12:42Sometimes you grow together, sometimes you grow apart.
12:46I mean, he's the father of my kids, you know, so I always wish him the best.
12:49And I, I mean, I'm so grateful that he gave me wonderful children.
12:57Shocked us.
12:58Jerry Turner and Teresa Nist.
13:00This golden bachelor wedding only lasted a baffling three months.
13:04And we've kind of come to the conclusion mutually
13:06that it's probably time for us to, um, dissolve our marriage.
13:13Get a divorce.
13:15Yes.
13:16Yes.
13:16Three months after getting married.
13:19Yes.
13:19Yes.
13:20Saw It Coming, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello.
13:24Manganiello's absence from Vergara's birthday trip already hinted at the split.
13:28The duo, who have been married for seven years, have been growing apart for some time now
13:33and tried to resolve things, but they are focused on different areas of their lives.
13:37A second source adding, they had differences in how their lives should go forward and it
13:42caused stress.
13:43Shocked us.
13:44Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn.
13:46Before it ended, this was the most private and seemingly stable relationship in Swift's life.
13:51She has nothing but respect for Joe and really loved and enjoyed all the time and memories
13:57they shared.
13:58They had a deep connection and she appreciated that.
14:01She hopes they can be friendly in the future.

14:20Number 1.
14:21Shocked Us.
14:22Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.
14:24You know, you could fall into the Marilyn Monroe camp or the Grace Kelly camp, right?
14:28My mom was the Grace Kelly camp.
14:30She was part of the Grace Kelly camp.
14:32I like that.
14:32I'd say you, well, what are you?
14:35Uh, the U camp?
14:37Yeah.
14:38Great answer.
14:39After her tumultuous divorce from Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman seemed to find lasting happiness
14:44with country music star Keith Urban.
14:47The pair met in 2005 at an event celebrating Australians in America and got married the following year.
14:53Over time, they faced their share of ups and downs, which only seemed to strengthen their bond.
14:59I want to wish you an early congratulations on your 10th anniversary.
15:01Thank you so much.
15:02Do you have plans for the day?
15:05The year.
15:06The year.
15:06We actually said we're going to celebrate.
15:08We have to think of it more at the end of the year.
15:09Yeah, exactly.
15:10No, we just feel incredibly lucky.
15:12In June 2025, they celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary.
15:17With Kidman posting a cozy photo of them together on Instagram.
15:20To the public, their relationship looked solid.
15:23However, that turned out not to be the case.
15:26Just three months later, news broke that Kidman had filed for divorce.
15:30Nicole signed the doc yesterday and cites irreconcilable differences.
15:34The actress was granted primary custody of their two teenage daughters.
15:38Apparently, the couple had been living apart since the summer.
15:41And Kidman had unsuccessfully tried to salvage the relationship.
15:46What other celebrity breakups left you completely stunned?
