14. DIANE KRUGER AND JOSHUA JACKSON
As we near the end of 2016, it was a brutal year for celebrity romance. We've seen broken vows, broken hearts, and the permanent splits of long-term marriages and newer relationships.
Find out which Hollywood couples called it quits this year. Yep, 2016 was a painful year for the following celebrities.
The chic German actress and her former teen-heartthrob beau spent 10 years together, serving as an excellent Hollywood example of a couple who felt no need to get married to validate their relationship. Sadly, it still came to an end over the summer.
13. ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT
The upside: This might mean Pacey and Joey finally have a chance. (We're looking at you, Katie Holmes.)
The celebrity couple to end all celebrity couples, these two gave us the archetypal couple nickname, Brangelina. It was rare to hear any gossip about their relationship, making it even more shocking when Jolie filed for divorce in September.
12. TAYLOR SWIFT AND CALVIN HARRIS
An FBI investigation into claims that Brad may have abused their six children drew even more attention to the split, as TMZ reported.
These two seemed like a match made in blond-musician heaven, from publicly supporting each other's careers to actually writing songs together. Alas, they broke up after after around a year-and-a-half of dating.
11. LADY GAGA AND TAYLOR KINNEY
Cue the Taylor-Swift-always-writes-about-her-exes joke here.
Taylor proposed with a giant, heart-shaped diamond ring in 2015 after four years of dating, but sadly it looks like the couple won't be making to the altar. "Taylor and I have always believed we are soulmates," Gaga said in an Instagram caption announcing the breakup.
10. NAOMI WATTS AND LIEV SCHREIBER
"Please root us on. We're just like everybody else and we really love each other."
The low-key couple was married for 11 years before announcing their breakup in September. They have two sons together.
9. AMBER HEARD AND JOHNNY DEPP
"You know, we're parents together so we'll be together for the rest of our lives no matter what," Liev said in an interview on CBS This Morning.
The disasterous union between Johnny and the 23-years-younger Amber lasted only a year—but that's probably for the best. It ended in a truly awful divorce, with Amber accusing Johnny of physical abuse, E!
8. MALAAK COMPTON-ROCK AND CHRIS ROCK
News reported.
The Rocks finalized their divorce in 2016 after 20 years and two daughters together. TMZ noted there were further complications related to a third child from South Africa that neither formally adopted but were raising together...
7. ANGIE HARMON AND JASON SEHORN
because nothing in Hollywood can be simple.
"It's a lot of work, really" Angie once told YourTango of her marriage, and apparently that work became too much in 2016.
6. DREW BARRYMORE AND WILL KOPELMAN
She and Jason (who proposed on live TV in 1998) separated after 13 years and three daughters together.
The third marriage was unfortunately not the charm for Drew.
5. DEMI LOVATO AND WILMER VALDERRAMA
"Divorce might make one feel like a failure, but eventually you start to find grace in the idea that life goes on," she said in a statement to People announcing her split from Kopelman, an art dealer.
Will has romanced a few of Hollywood's leading ladies—from Lindsay Lohan to Minka Kelly to Mandy Moore—but his romance with Lovato lasted for nearly six years.
4. MARY J. BLIGE AND KENDU ISAACS
Their breakup announcement on Instagram came as a major shock to fans of Demi, who were used to her lovey PDA-filled posts with the actor.
After nearly 13 years of marriage, the legendary R&B singer called it quits with husband Kendu.
3. KATE BECKINSALE AND LEN WISEMAN
Her ex then made headlines when he requested $129,000 per month in spousal support to cover items such a private chef and personal trainer, per Page Six.
They seemed like an unstoppable Hollywood pair: Len directed his wife in the Underworld film series.
2. HUMA ABEDIN AND ANTHONY WEINER
But after 12 years of marriage, the couple cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their divorce when they filed this fall, according to TMZ.
After multiple sex scandals in which the New York congressman was caught sending inappropriate photos to other women, Huma finally announced their split this year after six years of marriage.
