But... why?

There are some celebrity breakups that really tug at our heartstrings. Let's look at yesterday's and today's unforgettable splits... and yes, the couple in this picture is on the list. Of course. What happened to them?

Demi and Bruce

With Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, it was one of the first times we mourned a celebrity couple's love. We still think they were the perfect match.

Sofía and Joe

After seven years, Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello ended their marriage, shattering our hopes of a mature-age fairytale romance. If even they, looking so fabulous, couldn't make it, what hope do us mere mortals have beyond Tinder?

Jason and Lisa

When Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet, one of Hollywood's most solid couples, split after 16 years, our hearts shattered. She was 'Aquaman's' childhood crush, but then one day, she wasn't.

Brad and Jennifer

Yes, Brad Pitt had a life before Angelina Jolie, with Jennifer Aniston. And boy, did it make us cry when he left Jennifer for Angelina. Though everyone saw it coming, we all felt a bit like Jennifer back then. Their good chemistry is evident in this picture of a 2023 reunion.

Uma and Ethan

Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke fell in love while filming 'Gattaca' in 1997, quickly becoming a Hollywood favorite. After 7 years of marriage and two kids, their split left fans heartbroken.

Ellen and Anne

Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche were the couple that pioneered diversity in Hollywood. Their split hurt, but the pain deepened when Anne Heche tragically lost her life in a car accident in 2022.

Kristen and Robert

Nothing thrilled 'Twilight' fans more than seeing its stars fall in love in real life. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were together from 2009 to 2013, until Kristen's affair with the director of 'Snow White and the Huntsman' broke our hearts.

Antonio and Melanie

Another Hollywood pairing was Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith. We still remember Melanie's 'Antonio' heart tattoo and can almost hear her saying his name...

Heidi and Seal

The fairytale couple of supermodel Heidi Klum and singer Seal had us dreaming. A dream that lasted 10 years and included 3 kids, but waking up from it was tough.

Kristen and Stella

It also hurt when Kristen Stewart split from Stella Maxwell, forming a fabulous duo, both radiating that unique charisma.

Ryan and Rachel

The Notebook' gave us one of the greatest love stories, and Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams became a real-life couple. Their romance lasted just 2 years, but the movie remains to remind us...

'Brangelina'

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were so joined at the hip they were a single entity to the press: 'Brangelina'. We're still trying to get over their breakup and the slew of mutual accusations.

Johnny and Vanessa

Oh, Johnny Depp, if only he listened to us, his millions of motherly fans, warning him against leaving Vanessa Paradis for Amber Heard. So many tears could have been spared.

Johnny and Winona

Yes, Johnny's a repeat heartbreaker. We were crushed when his young love with Winona Ryder, his co-star in 'Edward Scissorhands,' ended.

Johnny and Kate

And a 'three-peater' at that. Johnny Depp again makes headlines with an unforgettable story... we still remember the great couple he made with Kate Moss.

Luke Evans and Jon Kortajarena

RIt was mesmerizing to witness such a perfect, luxuriously beautiful couple. But that's life. That relationship, too, came to an end.

Tim and Helena

If we had to pick a perfect partner for director Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter would be the top choice. Both so wonderfully quirky... Yet, it didn't last.

Cara and Ashley

Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson were caught in this embrace in September 2019. They seemed like the perfect match, but alas, there was a limit to their love.

Britney and Justin

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were America's sweethearts from 1998 to 2002. Perhaps the 'Pop Princess’s' life would've been different had it lasted with Justin. We'll never know.

Rosalía and Raw

The recent split that still has us in tears is between the Latin singers Rosalía and Raw Alejandro. Soon after announcing their engagement, they called it quits. Their paths didn't cross again until the 'Latin Grammy Awards 2023,' where their song lyrics emotionally intertwined, creating the biggest buzz of Fall 2023.

Taylor and Taylor

We're still hurt that the duo of singer Taylor Swift and 'Twilight's' 'Jacob,' Taylor Lautner, didn't last...

Zac and Vanessa

All of us who were fans of the 'High School Musical' phenomenon rejoiced while its stars, Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron, were a couple. The magic lasted from 2005 to 2011.

Selena and Justin

The split between Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, after a decade-long relationship, still stings. Selena even had to ask her fans to stop bullying Hayley Bieber, Justin's current wife.

Ricky and Jwan

Let's take a moment to mourn the 2023 summer split of Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef. They looked so perfect together.

Shakira and Piqué

Another breakup that's been the talk of the town, quite literally. We're still reeling from the shift from 'Rolex' to 'Casio.' But what we clearly understand is the mantra, "Women don't cry, they invoice."
