All Celebrity Break-Ups of 2023 So Far That Shook Our Faith in Love

The year 2023 saw too many celebrity couples calling it quits, even the ones we could have never imagined breaking up. Unfortunately, this year isn’t over yet, but we still hope there won’t be any more love victims to add to this list. So grab some tissues and let’s look back at these couples’ love stories together.

1. Britney Spears and Sam Asghari.

Marriage timeline: 2022-2023.
Number of children: 0.

Despite being married for only one year, Britney and Sam had been together since 2016. At the time, Sam was hired to play a role in the pop star’s music video Slumber Party and won over her with his charm. The couple seemed perfect for each other as they were supportive of each other’s aspirations and were practically glued to each other. Unfortunately, in 2023 cracks started to show and Asghari moved out after accusing Spears of infidelity.

2. Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth

Marriage timeline: 2011-2023.
Number of children: 1.

This former couple had a whirlwind romance back in the day: they were reported dating in 2010 and by March 2011 they officially tied the knot. Then, just a year and a half after saying ’I do’, they welcomed their son, Tennessee James.

All signs were pointing to Reese and Jim being soulmates, but no relationship is ever that simple. Witherspoon and Toth announced a mutual separation in March 2023. One rumored reason for the divorce includes Reese saying Jim wasn’t the person she married anymore.

3. Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello.

Marriage timeline: 2015-2023.
Number of children: 0

Sofía was Joe’s dream woman before the couple even got together. His crush became a reality in 2014, and a year later Manganiello officially called Vergara his wife. They seemed to be the ultimate Hollywood couple — they had the looks and the chemistry.

But, the truth came out in 2023 when Joe and Sofía became distant due to having different interests. Vergara is drawn to the lavish Hollywood lifestyle, while Joe enjoys video games and quieter life in general.

4. Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millipied.

Marriage timeline: 2012-2023.
Number of children: 2.

Natalie and Benjamin met in a classic Hollywood fashion — on the set of Black Swan, a movie that brought Portman the Best Actress Oscar. They went on to have two children: son Aleph and daughter Amalia, born in 2011 and 2017, respectively. In summer of 2023, reports came out that Millipied was unfaithful, which led to the separation.

5. Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas

Marriage timeline: 2019-2023.
Number of children: 2.

The Game of Thrones star was only 23 when she got hitched with Joe Jonas, who was 30 at the time. But age didn’t seem to matter as the couple decided to start a family right away. Jonas and Turner share two daughters together, born in 2020 and 2022.

Unfortunately, 2023 brought a highly publicized separation for the couple. Jonas was the one who filed for the divorce, and the reasons are countless, as multiple sources report. It’ll be a while until the dust settles, and we learn what really happened between the two, if ever.

6. Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef

Marriage timeline: 2018-2023
Number of children: 2.

The global superstar found love with painter Jwan Yosef in 2016. The couple quickly clicked and confirmed their marriage in early 2018.

Martin, who was already a father to two twin boys, saw a responsible partner in Yosef and didn’t wait too long to expand their family. Ricky and Jwan revealed they were parents to a girl and a boy in 2019, and it seemed like their unit was complete. Sadly, in 2023, they announced a divorce due to “irreconcilable differences”.

7. Shannen Doherty and Kurt Iswarienko

Marriage timeline: 2011-2023.
Number of children: 0.

Iswarienko became Doherty’s third shot at a marriage. Previously, the Charmed star was married twice: to Ashley Hamilton from 1993 to 1994 and to Rick Salomon from 2002 to 2003. Despite the two other unions lasting less than a year, Shannen and Kurt were going strong and, after they crossed a 10-year line, seemed like this was it for the actress. Allegedly, Iswarienko was unfaithful to Doherty, which forced her to seek divorce.

8. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott

Relationship timeline: 2017-2023.
Number of children: 2.

Though never officially married, Kylie and Travis were always the center of attention as a couple. That was especially after Jenner gave birth to their first daughter in 2018 at the age of 20 and less than a year after getting together. Despite often being on and off, the couple also had a son born in 2022. In January 2023, Kylie and Travis announced their second break-up, which might stick this time, since the reality star is currently involved with movie star Timothée Chalamet.

9. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness

Marriage timeline: 1996-2023.
Number of children: 2.

And now for the couple that shocked us the most. In September 2023, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness revealed that they were getting a divorce to “pursue individual growth.” After being together for 27 and sharing two adopted children, this became a big hit for all their fans.

Nevertheless, we’ll never forget their inspiring love story and, despite the outcome, hope they both find happiness, even without each other.
