00:00I couldn't trust what we had. There was one report that said it was multiple affairs. Do you care to
00:04say anything about that? You know, I think those are questions Bill needs to answer.
00:08Welcome to Ms. Mojo. And today, we're counting down our picks for the most shocking times famous
00:14couples turned their breakups into a he said, she said mess.
00:19So you're fed up talking about that?
00:20It's so boring, honestly. If you want me to fall asleep, if you had a pound of soup, I'd put my
00:24idea. Number 10, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. This couple made fans believe in love. So when
00:33it was revealed in September 2025 that they had gone their separate ways, we were heartbroken.
00:39It soon became clear that their split was far from clean. Kidman was apparently blindsided by
00:44the breakup announcement and filed for divorce because of irreconcilable differences. Sources
00:50claimed the couple wasn't in love and hadn't been for a while. Nicole was previously married and
00:56divorced to Tom Cruise. And to me, it looks like she took the lessons learned from that divorce
01:01and ensured that there'd be no messiness this time around. On the contrary, rumors suggested
01:07Nicole wanted to work things out with Keith. Her on-screen chemistry with younger actors like
01:13Harris Dickinson in Baby Girl allegedly aggravated the situation. Similarly, Keith got caught up in
01:20rumors that he's seeing his guitarist, Maggie Baugh, who's over 30 years his junior. Keith's guitar
01:26player, Maggie Baugh, sharing this clip of the two performing the song. The country singer swapping
01:31out the lyrics, singing, when they're trying to get you, Maggie, I'll be your guitar player. The situation
01:36is still unfolding and we doubt it'll get less messy. Number 9, Kim Kardashian and Chris Humphreys.
01:44This pair's holy matrimony turned into a meme when the reality TV star divorced the former NBA
01:50player after only 72 days of marriage. Kim told ABC News,
01:55After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this
02:00was not an easy decision. I'd hope this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out
02:06as planned. Kim reportedly cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for divorce, though
02:11many speculated that the whole debacle was orchestrated for media attention. The argument
02:16grew legs when Chris reportedly sought an annulment instead of a divorce on grounds of fraud.
02:22An annulment would say that no legal union had in fact taken place. What do you hope
02:27the court will decide with regard to the annulment? Well, I'm not focused on, you know,
02:32I'm really right now I'm focused on basketball and, you know, other things will take care of
02:37themselves. The Skims co-founder later revealed that she got cold feet before their wedding,
02:42but went through with it to avoid being seen as a runaway bride. The All's Fair actress also claimed
02:47that once she started living with Humphreys, she realized he wasn't the one for her.
02:52I can't speak for Chris, but I just want him to be happy and I want us to move on and
02:59that's really what I want is just to move on.
03:02Number 8, Kevin Kosner and Christine Baumgartner.
03:06It was a wedding like anybody else's, you know, it's just, we just chose to do it here.
03:11We tried to make it like recess, you know, like in the fifth grade so it could be fun for everybody.
03:15The Oscar-winning actor was married to the designer for 18 years. Then in May 2023,
03:21she called things off and filed for divorce. Christine reportedly chalked it up to irreconcilable
03:27differences, whereas Kevin's statement mentioned that, quote, circumstances beyond his control
03:32led to their separation. How blindsided was he? He was totally blindsided by this divorce.
03:40He did not see this coming and he was devastated by it.
03:44The divorce proceedings continued until February 2024 and grew contentious. Baumgartner reportedly
03:51demanded a hefty amount in child support and delayed moving out of their shared California home,
03:57which his side argued was against their prenup. After all was said and done,
04:02the Yellowstone star admitted the split was a, quote, crushing moment.
04:06This divorce was all about the prenup, Billy, because remember, Kevin is worth hundreds of
04:11millions of dollars and she got no spousal support in this segment because of the prenup.
04:18Meanwhile, Christine reportedly moved on with a friend and former neighbor, Josh Connor,
04:23marrying him in October 2025.
04:26Number seven, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert.
04:29They were country music's royal couple.
04:40Shelton reportedly fell in love with her while he was married to K-Net Gern.
04:44So he wrapped up that relationship and married Miranda in 2011.
04:49Unfortunately, their marriage did not last long. The couple decided to part ways in 2015.
04:54You know, we try so hard to keep people's focus on what we do and not our marriage. You know,
05:05it's almost impossible to do that.
05:08At first, the split seemed amicable, with sources claiming they would remain friends.
05:14However, as tabloids started digging around for more info, cheating rumors surfaced.
05:19Shelton tweeting about karma and putting out the song,
05:22she's got away with words, with lyrics that were clearly dissing an ex,
05:25didn't exactly quell the rumors.
05:36Both parties stayed mum about the speculation and moved on.
05:40Number six, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner.
05:43These two created a whole new standard for celebrity it couples.
05:47From saying their I do's at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas,
05:51to hosting the official celebrations at a French castle.
05:54Joe and Sophie were iconic.
05:56Your wedding photographer was Diplo, is that right?
05:58Well, we didn't choose him to be our wedding photographer.
06:02We just kind of decided to live stream it.
06:05Okay.
06:06Bernie, what happens in Vegas goes everywhere.
06:08Yeah.
06:09It all came crashing down when the cake by the Ocean Singer filed for divorce.
06:15Official documents reportedly stated their marriage was irretrievably broken.
06:19Sophie, however, posted a joint statement saying they were amicably ending things.
06:24There are many speculative narratives as to why, but truly this is a united decision.
06:30And we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.
06:37Meanwhile, TMZ sources claimed Joe was an unsupportive husband and refused to send their
06:42daughters, Willa and Delphine, to their mother in England, for which Sophie sued him.
06:48There were also rumors about the Game of Thrones star being a party girl and finding Joe controlling.
06:54Talk about messy.
06:55Everyone had theories.
06:57And I was, I was theorizing for so long.
06:59And then, um, by this point, I'm like, I just, I'm over it.
07:03Yeah, yeah, exactly.
07:04Number five, Madonna and Guy Ritchie.
07:07The queen of pop and the award-winning English filmmaker married in 2000.
07:11However, their relationship slowly unraveled and culminated in a painful divorce in 2008.
07:17What's at stake now?
07:19Where the couple's children will live and with whom?
07:22And who gets what out of their considerable fortune?
07:25All the untidy and unhappy business of ending a marriage.
07:28According to insiders who claimed to have knowledge about the situation, Madonna's alleged
07:33closeness with MLB star Alex Rodriguez contributed to their separation.
07:38However, it was seemingly not the only cause.
07:41The gentleman director allegedly didn't share the musician's dedication to Kabbalah and couldn't
07:47keep up with her glossy life.
07:49They apparently had differing opinions about adopting son David, too.
07:52Madonna and Ritchie are said to have quarreled over her desire to adopt another child from
07:57Africa and her continuing enthusiasm for the mysticism of the Kabbalah.
08:01He's quoted as saying their marriage had become a three-ring circus.
08:05A nasty legal battle over their other son, Rocco's custody, devastated Madonna to the point
08:11that she contemplated ending her life.
08:13The divorce was concluded with an almost $100 million settlement from the material girl
08:18songstress.
08:19Even recently, Madonna said that Rocco really embodies the rebel heart.
08:24He's independent.
08:25He's growing up.
08:26And it's hard to raise a teenager, but it's especially hard under the microscope.
08:29Number four.
08:31Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates.
08:33Everyone thought this couple had an unshakable relationship.
08:37However, 27 years of marriage and three kids later, they parted ways in 2021, claiming they
08:43couldn't, quote, grow together as a couple anymore.
08:45It wasn't one moment or one specific thing that happened.
08:49There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn't
08:54healthy and I couldn't trust what we had.
08:56The pair claimed that they put a lot of work into making things work, but ultimately decided
09:01to call it quits.
09:02Around this time, it became widely known that the Microsoft co-founder had been unfaithful
09:07to Melinda.
09:08I certainly made mistakes and I take responsibility.
09:12I don't think delving into the particulars at this point is constructive.
09:16But yes, I caused pain and I feel terrible about that.
09:23The philanthropist reportedly wrote in her book, The Next Day, Transitions, Change, and Moving
09:28Forward, that there were, quote, betrayals in their marriage.
09:32She also shared on CBS Mornings that there were multiple unhealthy factors that led her
09:37to the decision of leaving Bill.
09:39I mean, this is painful stuff.
09:41And at the end of the day, though, I started on this journey of healing and I feel like I'm
09:47starting to get to the other side.
09:48Meanwhile, the billionaire called their separation his, quote, biggest regret.
09:53Number three, John Gosselin and Kate Gosselin.
09:57This couple rose to fame publicizing their life with eight children.
10:00The titular pair from John and Kate Plus Eight even had their breakup announced on the show.
10:05I try to contemplate and think about it and would it be better for us.
10:08It's just not good for our kids for us to be arguing in front of our kids.
10:12And it just, we can't be cordial with one another.
10:15Then we decide to separate.
10:17The divorce that followed was acrimonious, to say the least.
10:21Both faced cheating allegations, which they denied.
10:24Although they each went on to date the people they were accused of having affairs with.
10:28John's relationship with the alleged other woman, Haley Glassman, was short-lived.
10:33I mean, you're telling me out there that you love me and you want to be with me and then you...
10:38I do love you and you tell me you love me.
10:40We love each other and we want to be with each other, but it's not healthy.
10:43However, a source claimed that Kate may be thinking about marrying the man
10:47she was thought to have stepped out on John with, Steve Neild, who used to be her bodyguard.
10:52Reacting to the news, John said on social media that it was Kate who ruined their marriage.
10:57A claim their son Colin backed.
10:59What about when we'd go on vacation and you made me sleep on the hotel cot while you and Steve were together?
11:06You've been with him.
11:07You told me I broke our family when you couldn't stay true to my dad.
11:12The legendary musician's relationship with the model and activist was tabloid fodder from the start.
11:20So when they decided to separate, it was inevitably highly publicized.
11:25The Beatles member tied the knot with Heather in 2002, but their marriage broke down in 2006.
11:30I found out a telephone number, like you do.
11:34Yeah.
11:34And I rang her up and said, you know, we should talk about some charity stuff.
11:38I like what you're doing.
11:40Mills claimed Stella McCartney, Paul's daughter with his ex-wife Linda McCartney,
11:45was to blame for their split because she was allegedly jealous.
11:48She further accused the Grammy winner of domestic violence
11:51and claimed his alcohol and substance use contributed to their discord.
11:55I was in the papers every day, even though I didn't do anything except walk down the street and keep my head down.
12:01So now I've just thought, okay, I better get back on my soapbox and start putting the issues out there.
12:07After filing for divorce, she reportedly represented herself in court.
12:12The judge noted that she was, quote, inconsistent, inaccurate, and less than candid,
12:17while the Hey Jude crooner was, quote, consistent, accurate, and honest.
12:22It took two years to finalize their divorce.
12:24Um, it's not a sweet subject at all.
12:27It's bittersweet.
12:28It's, you know, it's both.

12:46Number 1.
12:47Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
12:49This couple's divorce wasn't as messy as everything that came afterwards.
12:53Heard, who married Depp in 2015, filed for divorce in 2016.
12:58She claimed she suffered abuse at his hands and requested a temporary restraining order against him.
13:04To prove up a permanent restraining order, she has to establish that Johnny hit her or stalked her, harassed her, things like that.
13:16After their divorce was settled, the pair announced that their time together was, quote,
13:20intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love.
13:25This statement seemed absurd when the Pirates of the Caribbean star sued Amber for defamation over a Washington Post op-ed where she claimed to be a victim of abuse.
13:35Johnny Depp is suing for $50 million in damage.
13:39Amber Heard countersuing for $100 million.
13:42The trial in Fairfax County, Virginia, because that's where the Washington Post is printed.
13:47Heard countersued, and during the live-streamed trial, both parties alleged abuse.
13:53The court reportedly found Amber guilty, awarding Johnny millions in damages, while her side proved one out of three of her defamation claims.
14:01Both were found liable of defamation.
14:05Depp was awarded $15 million in damages.
14:09Heard was also awarded $2 million.
