13 Celeb Couples Who Didn't Make It Halfway Through 2016
It's a sad day when Hollywood couples announce that after all the fun and romantic moments, usually caught by the paps of course, they're splitting up. Even though you don't know these people, you tend to care about celeb break ups. Well, maybe you care about some more than others, of course, since you can't love every celebrity under the sun. But celebrity break ups are pretty rough on everyone, including the fans and the media, since journalists have to tread lightly and ask questions about where it all went wrong… all without offending the actresses and actors who, let's face it, can sometimes act like more diva than artist. Although it may only be April 2016, there are a few celeb couples that haven't made it until the end of the year. Okay, more than a few. Here are 13 celeb couples that have already said goodbye to each other this year.
13 Marisa And Dean Zanuck
Unless you're a Real Housewives superfan (and, well, you should be), you wouldn't recognize these names, but the couple appeared on the Beverly Hills version of the popular reality franchise. Marisa kept saying that she wasn't all that into him and he wasn't the kind of guy she normally dated… which apparently didn't work out all that well for either of them, since now they're getting divorced.
12 Lea Michele And Matthew Paetz
The world is basically still mourning the death of Lea's former Glee co-star and boyfriend Corey Monteith, and so this celebrity break up seems even more tragic since we all thought that she had found love again. We just really wanted her to be okay, since getting over the death of your boyfriend/BFF/soulmate is really not all that pleasant. Lea and Matthew have been together since he was in a music video of hers back in 2014, but this is one love story that just didn't have a happily ever after.
11 Khloe Kardashian And James Harden
Apparently Khloe has joined the ranks of the single and hopeful and has an online dating profile on the website OkCupid. We really wonder what her Inbox looks like. She broke up with James Harden a few months ago in February and they had been together since last summer, so that was a pretty good chunk of time. Apparently they were both just super, super slammed with work… but she's not too busy to check out OkCupid. So there's that.
10 Khloe Kardashian And Lamar Odom
Yup, Khloe again. Well, she never technically divorced Lamar, and so this one definitely deserves a mention. According to sources, Khloe wants to finally divorce him now because she's not into his lifestyle. Of course, as everyone knows, she decided to hold off on the official split last fall when he got into some serious trouble and almost died. There was definitely some serious speculation that this meant they would get back together, but now we seem to finally know that a happy ending isn't in the cards for them.
9 Frances Bean Cobain And Isaiah Silva
Did you know that Frances Bean Cobain (aka the daughter of Nirvana grunge heartthrob Kurt) was married? Well, you do now… because she's getting divorced. They hadn't even been together for two full years and last month they announced that they're splitting up. That seems even more tragic considering Frances' difficult childhood and life so far, not to mention the fact that she has a pretty fraught relationship with rocker mom Courtney Love.
8 Liza Weil And Paul Adelstein
Liza, aka Bonnie on How To Get Away With Murder and more obviously Paris from Gilmore Girls, is divorcing Paul, who you might know from shows like Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce and Private Practice. Apparently the Shonda Rhimes connection was not enough to keep the couple together. They've got a five-year-0ld daughter but Liza is keeping things super reasonable and wants joint custody.
7 Kirstin Dunst And Garret Hedlund
Was this the most attractive celeb couple ever? Well, maybe not since celebrities are generally super attractive, but they were definitely pretty cute. You know Kirstin Dunst as a 2000s star in several rom-coms and you probably best know this hunk from the cheesy yet tragic musical film Country Strong.
6 Casey Affleck And Summer Phoenix
Talk about a super celeb couple: Casey, Ben Affleck's brother, and Summer, Joaquin's sister, were married for a decade. But no more. They had been together even longer, since the year 2000, which really feels like a lifetime ago. Maybe that was just too many Hollywood connections for one couple?
5 Suki Waterhouse And Bradley Cooper
She's a model and actress, he's a buff movie star who can take on the craziest of action film roles as well as star in more sensitive fare like Silver Linings Playbook. Things didn't end so well for the attractive, famous pair -- in March, they said they're breaking up.
4 Steve O And Kat Von D
They were all hot and heavy… for about three months. Now it's over. Pretty crazy but we guess that's just how it goes sometimes for these Hollywood people. Of course, he's known for being part of Sum-41 and she's a tattoo artist, and the two made a pretty interesting, unique couple. Apparently they each did a huge social media clean of their respective accounts to make sure there was no online trace of the other person. Famous people are just like us! You always get rid of photos of your most recent ex on Facebook.
3 Jaimie Alexander And Peter Facinelli
Looks like another relationship is on the rocks for Peter, who you probably know from a little film franchise called Twilight. He was married to former 90210 star Jennie Garth and the two split up back in 2013. He has been dating Blindspot actress Jaimie but back in February they said they were no longer together. Apparently they were even going to get married. Oh well! Maybe the third time will be the charm?
2 Nina Dobrev And Austin Stowell
Things seemed super hopeful for Nina last fall when she debuted her new boyfriend, Austin. They were a couple for seven months, which is not a ton of time when you're a mere mortal but is probably more like seven years when you're famous. She, of course, decided to leave her show The Vampire Diaries after starring on it for a few years, but like Khloe and James, apparently the couple was just too busy working. Maybe saying you're working too much is the celebrity version of "It's not you, it's me?"
1 Drew Barrymore And Will Kopelman
Poor Drew. She's had tons of success in her life -- she's appeared in countless movies and has her own production company, Flowers Films -- but that success has never translated to marriage. She's now getting divorced from her husband of four years, Will, which is super sad because she always told the media that he was the kind of person she needed (he was stable, apparently) and she had chosen correctly this time. Oops. Let's hope that her next marriage is for the long haul.
