A lot 💔💔

[@shirleycameron7718]

Nothing new to go on about.....

[@elnoraanderson9032]

Sadly sometimes people the marriage is long over with before the paper work is filed.. stay together longer than they should have

[@andrewg.sharwood3378]

Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee Furness after 25 years, or Meryl Streep and Don Gummer after 30+ years were HUGE SHOCKS. So was Al and Tipper Gore, Bill and Melinda Gates. I get the pressures on celebrities and raising children together, but these couples had survived for so long and got through all of that... sad.

[@evap.5121]

27 years

[@eleanorek.leslie9818]

People eventually outgrow one another. 😊

[@nancycontreras3856]

For me Hugh Jackman’s was the shocker!!!

[@donnadrane4977]

The most surprising one to me was Meryl Streep.

[@donnahaynes138]

You know the relationship is doomed when the wedding is officiated by Kim Kardashian

[@anthonybirkholz6104]

I was thinking the same exact thing.

[@asandrasg]

omg, probably, Hugh Jackman and Meryl Streep were the most suprising news for me... But still it is pity about every couple, exept were it was domestic violence

[@thereallg4587]

*There were so many break ups and divorces that there’s a top ten and honorable mentions. Like DAMN.*

[@karenhammond7690]

What do you expect? They are all celebrities, ALL CELEBRITIES cheat 😢😮😢

[@karenhammond7690]

Reason why? Well, they have power,they are rich,and they think they can do whatever they. When you are famous you have a lot of money 💵 So,you can do whatever you want

[@HikazePrincess]

Funny thing is Ariana Maddix and Tom Sandoval were both on other reality shows this year (Ariana on DWTS and Tom on The Masked Singer), and both mentioned their breakup.....I don't follow Vanderpump Rules but once I realized the connection, I thought it was kinda mind-blowing a little bit

[@vanessastegall]

@@HikazePrincess Sandoval had to sign a NDA

[@stillwithujk4385]

For me it was Hugh Jackman! Still shocked and hope they can get back together

[@tracytrebilcox]

Hugh Jackman and his wife splitting up??? Where have I been? His devotion to her is one reason he has always been the Sexiest Man! Everyone else is ho-hum, but this duo?

[@trinaq]

I knew that Taylor and Joe would be near the top. Eight months on, and it's still heartbreaking. 💔

[@sugarpoultry]

Still not over Hugh Jackman's split. Insane!!

[@theresaswit1840]

Hugh and Meryl' s break-ups by far and really after all the years together and children...why? They could well afford therapy....so sad

[@sarahrupert5320]

Maybe they tried therapy, I dunno…but sometimes sadly, people just grow apart and aren’t the same as they were when much younger. It is sad though, you’re right.

[@rosariovero259]

I think Shakira and Pique should’ve had a spot on this their break up on top of all celebrity news

[@giancarlofelicianocastaned9316]

2013 was "The Year of Luigi" while 2023 is "The Year of Breakups & Divorces".

[@evap.5121]

I have no idea who 70% of these ppl are but Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee Furness is definitely a shock. I really hope he doesn't appear in 2 mins with a 30 year old girlfriend (also any younger than 30 and he's lost my respect entirely.)

[@jenniferharris1280]

we haven't seen him yet. he appears to be genuinely in shock, keeping his life private, and doing his best to do his job through it all. they were GOALS. :'(

[@introvertsrock9843]

Gage/appleton ....connection to kartrashian should have been a HUGE RED FLAG look at how many divorces she had (and her entire family....failed relationships)

[@sherryelle225]

I've never heard of the couple in the #1 spot. Also, I didn't know that any of these couples had broken up, except for Taylor and Joe and that's because when she moves on, everybody knows.

[@radicalreactions1633]

That's because narcs move on fast, the only reason she dates these people is because of the songs.

[@mpboriqa100]

Sofía Vergara’s 😢😢 sad to hear about her divorce

[@chelseacanales8763]

I wonder how many lawyers are going to get enough money from these divorces

[@sandyl4100]

Rumors are that Hugh Jackman and his costar from the Broadway musical The Music Man, Sutton Foster, were a couple. Time will tell if that is the real reason for the breakup! So sad...💔

[@FairyQueen7]

Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee Furness shocked me.

[@LolaLaRue-sq6jm]

After a long time, people often get to be more like friends than lovers. It's really nothing to be sad about. Just part of life.

[@fakeyamumba3445]

Sophia and Joe was a real shock to me.

[@tonimartin4604]

Hugh Jackman's. And Sofia's

[@Demaad]

Wow, this seems like 2023 is the year of Celebrity break-ups

[@maruchan1936]

Honestly I was waiting for Shakira and Pique to be the number 1. Can’t believe they weren’t even on the list after all the drama. Her break up song was my top song on KZbin Music lol

[@PureSparkles22]

Britney and Sam breakup wasn't shocking

[@radicalreactions1633]

Neither is Taylor and her song subjects.

[@edselgreaves6503]

​@@radicalreactions1633 Taylor's breakups are a side business.

[@IwonaF333]

Any break up in showbusiness is surprising, they break up all the time

[@donnahaynes138]

Drake Bell tried to pull a Gone Girl on his then-wife

[@antoinemouthon6501]

How could you forget Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro ending their engagement? That breakup was truly devastating especially since they released an EP together earlier this year.

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

This list is missing: Cardi B & Offset Lori Harvey & Damson Idris Drew Sidora & Ralph Pittman Iman Shumpert & Teyana Taylor Megan Thee Stallion & Pardison Fontaine Young Jeezy & Jeannie Mai Rosalia & Rauw Alejandro Mariah Carey & Bryan Tanaka

[@sarabennett6295]

Those breakups don't surprise me. Altho I'm surprised Cardi B and Offset lasted as long as they did

[@karenthomas1456]

I must be getting old because apart from Mariah I don't know who any of those people are. x

[@mdccxcii6340]

Alternate title: 40 newly single celebrities

[@ELmayberry]

😂😂😂

[@misodinamosa]

Ryan healed the snake and got bit. It’s very sad, though he’s not alone. There are many who are crying with him. God speed Ryan💜🙏🏻

[@teejae2065]

If you don't need each other financially...most marriages would end.

[@multiverse_media2023]

Guess not every relationship lasts forever.

[@marlonclark-pp9wg]

yep

[@hassanmansour9857]

Seems like no relationship lasts forever💀

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Thanks for this top, Phoebe, it was very interesting. Have a happy saturday afternoon and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@Areniapixie]

9:17 I thought Ricky Martin was married to Nev from catfished for a second there 🫣

[@FeliciaCoddington]

Half way through and I don't even know most of these people. I know who Reese Witherspoon is, but had no idea who she was with or broke up with. Hard to be shocked about these breakups.

[@snoopybluejeans]

Me too. I only know of a few. I'm Ok with that.

[@rebeccaflowerbeck9894]

I’m still devastated about Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee. They seemed so in love and so supportive of each other 💔😿❤️

[@Animeguy300]

This is so heartbreaking to watch

[@NickCC23]

Taylor Swift has moved on...

[@gevorg1989]

from what I heard, it would be surprise if she didn't break up =D

[@jabbarmuhammad8804]

Will and Jada should be on this list

[@kimberlyfamoly1963]

I remember a psychic tell Kyle that her marriage would end up in divorce and she got very upset, guess that psychic was right.

[@dee_dee_dior]

Teyona Tayler & Iman Shumpert was shocking as well

[@elizabethallen4353]

I absolutely love Ricky Martin

[@kathrynaston6841]

Meryl Streeps divorce seemed to come out of nowhere. Same with Hugh Jackman. I thought Joe Jonas would keep it together for a few years considering he has children, but he confuses infatuation with love. It seems to be common with a lot of celebrities and celebrity chasers.

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

Billie Eilish 🎭 Jesse Rutherford

[@ginaluster9207]

Maybe Avril should avoid dating musicians.... lol

[@gevorg1989]

14:58 Jada Smith could take some notes

[@christophergomez7435]

Sadly! It seems quite difficult for a celebrity to focus on being in a relationship. I don't know, if the fact about being inn or seen being with someone inn, is what their development will be while in a relationship, importance! I would believe, it would be better if they had someone that special someone that will not mind being the one to step back and be ok with their partner being the head role of the family which ever. Weather, that person takes a manager, husband, wife role etc. I am one to believe that in every strong relationship there must be a strong structure. I do believe, everyone wants to be loved, in love or too love someone. Sometimes, it's just not trying to be the boss will allow things to works. Trust! Is absolutely one of the biggest issues faced in these busy relationships and that must start with you. Best wishes to all who finds love inn 2024 ❤ Peace of advice, if your willing to accept. Have no expectations off others, that is only in your head. " expectations " can be your worst enemy, remember. " expectations " is inn your head not the others persons head, that's going to be your biggest mistake in your relationship. It's quite simple, but difficult, do you read minds? If you do, remember the other person probably doesn't.

[@LQOTW]

Which one surprised me? Probably Meryl Streep & Don Gummer's primarily because of its longevity. But, life is hard, and maintaining relationships within that life is equally so. Toss in the insanity of Hollyweird or the Music Industry and keeping a relationship (never mind one's sanity) on an even keel must get pretty dicey, sometimes. Good luck to everyone going forward in 2024.

[@jrocsexy]

What?? Tay-Tay broke up with someone???

[@jgw5491]

[@user-er6zk5mt6u]

Some men don’t feel the same about their wives after childbirth, it can be a perilous time, or parenthood. I’ve heard men say they’re not attracted to women who have had a child, even their own.

[@mra2010]

Hugh Jackman and Deborah Lee, Meryl Steep

[@toaster2880]

taylor and joe should have been number one

[@radicalreactions1633]

Why? it's not surprising at all.

[@there4you19]

Do I have to Explain Love Rick Sanchez Style Again?!

[@PerfectlyImperfect93]

wtf I didn’t know Avril and Mod Sun broke up 😭

[@CherylSimser]

The Jackmans.

[@pamakasaka888]

kathniel...

[@bennymora3086]

I can’t believe I’m even watching this list.😒

[@melaniesenf7175]

20 to 8 = lame and not worth noting. But then boom! I’m shocked

[@lisameyer1373]

Not surprises by any of it

[@siddaye]

Jody and joshua's split didnt make the list

[@RealKyndleNance]

Guess love really doesn’t exist in the 21st century. Unless you’re a wrestler. If that’s the case, you’ll be good.

[@louisejohnson6057]

Just because a relationship ends, that doesn't mean that the love didn't really exist, and conversely, a couple can stay married for 4 decades, even if they stopped loving each other after the first 10 years together.

[@leonidasneves7972]

Rosé's fault

[@sibongiseni5993]

most of these people aren't famous enough to be part of a "most shocking" list

[@lauriebriggs9705]

Since when is the break up of any Britney’s relationships a “ shocker?”

[@radicalreactions1633]

You mean Taylor's?

[@lauriebriggs9705]

@@radicalreactions1633No I meant Britney. Taylor has never been married. Britney has been married 3 times.

[@LaTostis]

Bummer. Didn’t know about Hugh, Sophia or Meryl.

[@leonormartinez2812]

Leave Brittany alone

[@user-yw8eg8tm3d]

The least surprising is the one involving Taylor Swift. It’s inevitable. If a guy has a relationship with her it is going to end. It’s a revolving door!

[@horsewithnotail0]

Hugh jackman is good friends w Bryan Singer 🤢
