Kanye and kim

[@angelnyambio5704]

Zac and Vanessa along with Ryan and Rachel

[@DatingDisaster]

Honestly, I’m unbothered by anything in this world as long as Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are together…

[@lisamorrison214]

Don’t jinx it! 😂

[@romanbullard1630]

I literally never heard of her until I started seeing her with ryan

[@josipag2185]

And Mila&Ashton

[@Francesca-ov2tb]

For me is Sarah Michelle and Freddie Prinze :)

[@sarahrupert5320]

Agreed!! And please, knock on wood before it’s jinxed! 😉

[@davislundrigan1100]

Ultimately nobody knows what goes on in a relationship except the people who are in it.

[@jeffreylindahl5895]

So true. And when you are a celebrity you don't get that privacy.

[@jessrosefawkes2721]

Exactly xx

[@icysnow57cold64]

I don't think the romantic type of love is special, and I think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other. I think humans should just ditch concepts like dating, marriage, and pair bonding. I feel like this world would be a much better place without romance than it is with it. In my opinion, romantic love should not be on the highest pedestal. In my opinion, parents and siblings' family love is the strongest. Family knows who you are. Romance is fake for lots of people, put on a false persona and romance on most parts gets ugly real fast. For the reality of romance is no Disney love story. Parents and siblings' family love is one of the strongest types of love there is. If romantic love is actually real, it would be one of the weakest types of love there is.

[@marieangels6]

Channing and Jenna seriously shocked me! They were like couple goals.

[@stingrey1571]

I’ve been married 20 years. No celebrity breakup is shocking to me. Relationships are hard, famous or not. I can’t tell how many of our married friends are no longer married. Hell it almost happened to us.

[@cmock810]

Agreed. When I meet people that have been married 30, 40, 50 years, I am always in awe because I can only imagine how challenging the journey had to be at one time. I'm 21 years in and there have been multiple times that I considered throwing in the towel.

[@darkangel_1978]

I'm 45, and on my second marriage. My first marriage I took seriously, but my ex didn't. We both had fault in the relationship going South, and in hindsight, I am glad we went our separate ways. I'm fast approaching 10 years with my husband and I am so much happier, and I have learned so much. My parents were married for over 40 years and were miserable. Sometimes marriages work out, and sometimes they don't. People change, things change. It's not for the faint of heart.

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

Demi Moore & Bruce Willis

[@voxangelaemortis]

Personally would have switched out Cruise+Holmes for Cruise+Kidman.

[@CarlDillynson]

None of us really thought that Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were going to end up together forever? Right? Gosh. I always felt that that relationship was doomed from the beginning.

[@janehopke878]

Exactly. You’d have to be a complete idiot to not see that it was doomed from the start.

[@jgonz741]

Right?! Not sure why this one was on the list. She acted like a pod person when she was with him. It was good when she got out!

[@CarlDillynson]

@@jgonz741 so glad she got out!

[@saramarshall2957]

Same with Britney and Justin and Zac and Vanessa

[@meganfox6912]

I was more surprised when Tom and Nicole split

[@ClaudiaS_]

I can’t believe y’all forgot Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield! 😲

[@DanGamingFan2846]

Ryan and Rachel seemed like a perfect couple with no real problems. It's such a shame that their professions got in the way.

[@shonda79able]

They used to argue all the time.

[@IOAFan]

No Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins? THAT was a shocking break-up! The one that still breaks my heart to this day is Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield. 😢

[@trash4913]

People thought Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey were gonna make it?!

[@coco2.2]

hahahahah same for Tom and Katie IMO lol

[@erinmclenon5072]

He wanted to keep it together! Mariah wanted out…if I remember correctly.

[@bluetwinkiesaregood]

@@coco2.2I thought Tom and Katie would. But nick and Mariah? Nah.

[@angelnyambio5704]

hahaha ikr, she was waaaay tooo goood for Nick.

[@tiffprendergast]

@@angelnyambio5704yup

[@emeliestrandberg5841]

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt, Courtney Cox and David Arquette, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, Fergie and Josh Duhamel. So many were heartbreaking but all is okay in the world as long as Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively and Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prinze Jr stay together. If they split I won't believe in love anymore 😢

[@kkabbess]

Excuse me MsMojo, what about Amy Poehler and Will Arnett? I was rooting for them!!

[@xtina6569]

First i'm hearing of this one ending

[@thereallg4587]

*Channing and Jenna😭.* *Edit: ok after just watching this i didn’t know they would be No.1*

[@shaldana]

C'mon - Tim Robbins & Susan Sarandon? That one rocked us and should be mentioned somewhere along the way.

[@tiffprendergast]

Blah

[@SSSd617]

Johnny depp and Vanessa Paradis

[@jenhurd7253]

Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins.

[@user-ci6ib3jr1l]

Shock for me was the split of Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef.Those 2 made me believe in love and now made doubt it.They claim they divorcing in good ways,but it’s still heartbreaking.

[@sharona829]

i know they weren't in the video but andrew garfield and emma stone broke me

[@RajaReign78]

Add Sofia and Joe to the list 💔

[@jessrosefawkes2721]

Tim burton and Helena have split up?? Omg I didn’t no that, I thought they would be together forever. I’m shocked honestly xx

[@trinaq]

I thought that Reese and Ryan were so cute together in "Cruel Intentions", shame that there was so much turmoil behind the scenes.

[@laura-maejames3424]

Never did I think Justin + Britney, Mariah + Nick, Justin + Selina, and especially Tom and Katie were gonna make it. I thought Angenlina dn Brad's union would've been short but they went some distance. Plus I'm patiently awaiting part 2 of Jen (Lopez that is) and Ben. Channing and Jenna were super cute and really thought they would've made it.

[@emilyseger1421]

I’m surprised Seal and Heidi Klum weren’t mentioned.

[@JoaquinsMomma]

Laurence Fishburne and Gina Torres has me in tears.

[@gallopingbeansfoster]

I remember being heartbroken when Demi Moore and Bruce Willis divorced. 💔

[@siddaye]

How come seal and heidi klum aren't on this list ?

[@chelseacanales8763]

Idina and Taye 😢😢😢😢😢

[@coco2.2]

❤

[@MichaelaEvans]

Channing and Jenna was definitely the one for me. but what about Miley and Liam? I really thought they were gonna make it!

[@JS-mg1mk]

She's way too unstable for a serious relationship

[@megandoktor9911]

I honestly was more sad when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broke up other than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I was also very devastated when Vanessa Hudgens & Zac Efron, also Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams didn’t make it.

[@christianhines666]

You left out Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone from their days on The Amazing Spider-Man film series.

[@thereallg4587]

*Most of these break ups were tough. Selena and Justin, brad and Angelina, Ben and Jennifer, Zac and Vanessa, etc😩*

[@kriscynical]

I was hoping Katie Holmes would be able to get away from Tom Cruise and take her daughter with her. That "religion" is nuts.

[@tiffprendergast]

She did

[@kriscynical]

@@tiffprendergast I know she did. I meant back when they were still together I always hoped she'd eventually be able to.

[@JEshwari5]

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt 💔

[@janehopke878]

She’s better off without him and his insane “Christian” beliefs. 🙄

[@shannongeier8155]

How could you forget Amy Poehler and Will Arnett? I thought they would be together forever!

[@carastone3473]

No TSwift breakup is surprising…

[@roserocks1979]

fr

[@angelnyambio5704]

that's true, plus I never really liked her and joe a-something together

[@thejenmath]

We thought Tom and Katie were going to last? Really? I was devastated by Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s split, though. And Taylor and Joe.

[@tiffprendergast]

Nope

[@natalier1821]

Many of these, No one believed they'd last.

[@marieangels6]

Never thought Brittany and Justin would last

[@LeonardoKlotz]

The bigger the expectation The bigger the disappointment

[@lindsey5365]

Ben was too immature for Jennifer Garner. She took care of him with his alcohol problems. She did what she could. They are two different people. Then Ben had his rebound of Jennifer Lopez. Garner is better off without him.

[@tiffprendergast]

Duh 😊

[@gabrielafonseca4034]

We thought Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were going to make it?

[@sophiagosteva1652]

What about Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel? Johnny and Vanessa?

[@lonellfletcher]

Definitely agree with #1 and it still hurts my heart

[@PureSparkles22]

Brangelina for me

[@marieangels6]

Never thought Selena and Justin would last either

[@shonda79able]

Ben Affleck is Jennifer López's problem now.

[@basic_CeceRae]

It’s so bizarre to me… if there is till mutual respect end friendship then romance and such can be added in and the marriage can be saved. People have sex with strangers with no emotions but give up on marriage when the romance and sex goes. They still have the truly good stuff though. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@sykadelik459]

Goddamn Jennifer Garner is so beautiful. Affleck didn't deserve her anyway. Hes more than lucky enough to have gotten J-Lo. Even she's way out of his league. But J-Garner is light years ahead of J-Lo's league.

[@10RAS]

This list made me chuckle

[@kevindagame]

I usually don't see couples with huge age gaps stay together long term

[@katherinereyes9010]

where’s miley and liam 😭

[@frayhua9716]

How about Burt Reynolds and Sally Field they meet on Smokey and the Bandit they had chemistry until they part ways in the early 80s they was the Bennifer back in the day.

[@gr81747]

Heidi Klum and Seal :*(

[@pixxelina1472]

Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morrisette.

[@willedpower3291]

I loved Ryan and Reese ❤❤

[@nairilee]

Why are you shocked that teenagers didn't stay together? Some of the couples on this list are ridiculous.

[@dannohawaii50fan]

1: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes WAS arranged by Scientology. Katie should of ran for the hills before she married him. I wouldn't want to marry to Tom Cruise. He Cray Cray 2: Nick Cannon with her name that will not be mentioned, I don't know how it didn't end so quickly. 3: I've seen somewhere on tv that Ben Affleck blamed Jennifer Garner for his drinking problem because she 'nagged' him, but the only thing was that she wanted to help him. He shouldn't have blamed her for his problems. 4: Well Rachel MacAdams deserves better since they were on and off

[@tiffprendergast]

Yup

[@melmiller]

Not a single one was a surprise, especially the teen star couples. Like really?

[@MTmbt]

Some of these people were young when they got together, you couldn't be seriously thinking that they would make it at such you ages. Lol

[@padmefoster1543]

Still hoping for Zac and Vanessa actually. But I love that she's happy, just like all of the other celebrities on this list

[@angelnyambio5704]

Top 10(Ben and Jennifer G), 19(Zanessa), 16(Tom and Katie), 7(Jelena), and 5(Jason and Lisa) definitely shocked me, like I was really hoping they could make it work, especially with Ben and Jennifer G. But I honestly believe out of all everybody, the other couples(probably Fergie and Josh, Tim and Helena, and Reese and Ryan)were just much better off as friends and they weren't really exactly meant to be together(Tim and Helena, maybe Justney, I guess McGosling, Gwen and Chris, Zanessa, I guess Tom and Katie, and Taylor and Joe). Though Britney and Justin will probably always be my favorite couple, and honestly they had a chance to rekindle, especially during Britney's Circus era, they sadly weren't meant to be together. Zac and Vanessa along with Jelena were definitely one of those teen celeb couples I really thought were going to make it, plus they were one of my favorite couples growing up. But, I think that maybe they were meant to be, just the timing wasn't right, at least, with Jelena. Also, Zanessa had a chance to rekindle, just didn't happen

[@geneziogenezio3299]

THE FIRST TWO COUPLES SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS LIST BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST KIDS TEENS CHILDREN...

[@AgnessaMo]

I don't think many people thought Justin & Selena were going to last... how many teenage couples do? Plus the on & off periods were not a good sign

[@angelnyambio5704]

McGosling, Justney, Bennifer(the 2nd one), Zanessa, and Jelena are forever my favorite couples.

[@josipag2185]

13. Whole Barcelona and Spain knew he was a cheater, but this time, he didn't want to leave his girlfriend and it went worldwide so Shakira had no other option then end that sharade. Other thing, Justina and Selena, Britney and Justin (other), Mariah and Nick, Zac and Vanesa- like is there really anyone that belived they ended up together, they were kids. But what broke my heart were Kim and Thurston. Like, they really broke hearts of all indie (grunge and more genre) music lovers.

[@kudrashka9]

Top 3 was on my mind immediately.

[@clarajays]

Zac and Vanessa hit different. I add Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson

[@coco2.2]

Tom and Katie, Mariah and Nick, Anna and Chris… mmm nope lol the rest I get it! would’ve put Emma and Andrew here (and Jennifer with Brad) ❤

[@dylanbarlow8077]

Cole Sprouse and lili rainhart

[@LaurenKaminski]

Well if you have an affair to be with them to get into the relationship then you don’t usually last!

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Dang it!

[@bluetwinkiesaregood]

I loved fergie and josh together! I didn’t want them to break up.

[@madmartagan100]

half of these not so much. Seriously, why any of the Disney channel couples made it on there, it's like why? They were kids who's lives haven't even been formed yet, and their managers probably introduced them. Me personally, I thought Bill and Melinda Gates would make it, but no. By the way props to Jeff Bridges and his wife, for being married for longer than I've been alive.

[@saramarshall2957]

I definitely did not think most of these couples would make it LOL

[@MsMojo]

[@matthewescudero4287]

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone for me. Also, in spite of it being a Hollywood marriage, I thought Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman would make it.

[@Poppomatic64]

I met Fergie and Josh when they were together, man what a day

[@ianlaidlaw9983]

Justin & Selena were one of the worst couples & I don’t think that Jen & Ben will last.

[@censorshipsucks9493]

6:24 I thought this would last not because I, or anyone knows anything about these, or other celebs from their shows, or movies, but because I read her book Instant Mom.

[@Chechab]

To be honest I had no expectations on many of the Coples on this list

[@bennymora3086]

[@thefamouspeople1960]

I loved Jolie and Pitt ❤

[@dalehoward3704]

Vadalas and Gomez 😢😢😢

[@siddaye]

As for mariah and nick people knew from day 1 it wasnt going y To last shes traditional and hes a womanizer so no it wasnt going to last and every knew it and saw it

[@JOVONO]

This title is dumb A lot of these couple were too young to think that it would turn into a lifetime of romance for example Zac Efron and Venessa Hudgens I think the only one that was sad was Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner but it’s probably not a shock it didn’t last but Jennifer Lopez just seems like a horrible lady

[@siddaye]

Tom cruise and katie was out of left field and scientology was gonna break them up everyone knew this so its not surprising

[@stingrey1571]

It was a fake relationship. Several top named actresses auditioned to be Tom cruise’s girlfriend. It was revealed in the going clear documentary.

[@tiffprendergast]

Yup

[@Jackiedyk]

[@brendykay5243]

Kinda surprised nick lachey and Jessica simpson isn't on here. They were a pretty it couple in their era and a shock when they split.

[@101shadeira]

But celebrities needs to stop saying they need privacy when divorcing because no one asked y'all to us that you are divorcing lol 😂

[@AlliandoX]

Shawn and camila and ned and Ariel

[@idkalan00]

I always thought the reason Zach and Vanessa broke up was because of the hack of Zach's phone which lead to the leak of some NSFW pictures she sent to Zach.

[@hippiechic6772]

An old favorite of mine goes way back.... I thought Madonna and Sean Penn were a great match . They both had their similarities and differences that made them feel like a great fit . The differences could not mend any vows that were broken and sadly they ended almost as soon as they started . In your list here I would have thought that Ryan and Rachel would have not ever called it quits but the press it rages on rather for or against couples and Hollywood is fickle . I will always be a fan of both though together or apart . I am very keen on Emily Blunt with John Krasinski together with their little girls Hazel and Violet..... they impress me

[@annafowdy]

Thought Anthony and Jasmine would be here. Then again, they probably weren't famous enough when they split. Even I didn't give Anthony that much regard until I saw him in The Bad Guys.

[@Wowgoogle3]

Who?

[@annafowdy]

@@Wowgoogle3 Anthony Ramos and Jasmine Cephas Jones were both in Hamilton. They were together for about six years (getting engaged in 2018), but quietly called it quits in November 2021. Though, they couldn't be quiet for that long. Afterwards, people saw Anthony with this other girl and accused him of cheating.
