2020 has been a year of heartbreak and tragedy for many. The lockdown orders particularly affected a lot of couples. People that had once thought they loved one another were forced to live in close quarters for a long period of time, and they ended up learning a lot of nasty surprises about each other. While the quarantine did leave a lot of couples feeling closer to one another than ever, it also led to a spike in breakups and divorces.
A shocking amount of celebrity couples also chose to end things in the year 2020, although not all of these breakups and divorces were due to spending more quality time together during quarantine. While even normal people can change partners rather frequently, this is even more obvious in celebrities.
While some celebrities do get together out of genuine love for one another, this isn’t always the case. A lot of celebrities begin dating because they know it will make sensational headlines. And even if they aren’t getting together for the attention, their intentions aren’t always romantic. Love and family aren’t always priorities for celebrities, especially when they’ve got a sea of attractive people to choose from.
Many celebrities also become involved in passionate affairs despite being married already. Hollywood actors are especially notorious for becoming involved in all sorts of scandals. Part of this can be attributed to the sort of loneliness that many celebrities feel. Being so separated from other, “normal” people can make it hard for them to make new connections. As a result, the moment they sense any kind of attraction towards a fellow celebrity, they are often quick to jump into a heated romance.
However, these brief but passionate romances do make sense on another level. Famous actors and musicians have to go on tours or to far away filming locations to keep up with work. This means that a lot of celebrity couples find themselves split apart way too often, and they simply can’t keep up their careers and romance at the same time.
Finally, another common cause of celebrity breakups is the amount of pressure they are subject to. When paparazzi find out about a new celebrity romance, they spend all of their time and energy hunting the couple down for photos and videos. The couple will often begin to feel that their private lives are being violated, and ultimately decide to end their relationship as a result.
In today’s video, we’re going to take a look at the most famous celebrity couples that split up in 2020. Make sure you stick around, because we’re going to reveal the sad reason why Megan Fox ended her marriage of 10 years!
Dr. Dre and Nicole Young
The incredibly talented rapper Dr. Dre had married a beautiful woman named Nicole Young. They had remained together for 24 years and given birth to two children: A son named Truice, who is now 23, and a daughter named Truly, who is 19. However, later on in their marriage, Nicole Young was found to be draining funds from her successful husband’s business account for Record Ones. Reportedly the couple also suffered from a lot of personal differences, which Dr. Dre deemed “irreconcilable.”
Finally, on June 29th, the couple decided to put an end to their 24 years of marriage by filing for divorce.
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green
Megan Fox is an incredibly talented actress who is well known for her roles in films like Transformers, Jennifer’s Body, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She married television actor Brian Austin Green on June 24th, 2010. Together they had three beautiful children: Noah, Bodhi, and Journey. Their marriage was turbulent, however, and they briefly split up in 2015 before finally reconciling in 2016.
Now, however, it looks like they’re ending things for good. Since the end of 2019, Fox and Green have been forced to spend large amounts of time apart due to filming and other career work. Sadly, they are now officially divorcing.
Kacey Musgraves and Ruston Kelly
Kacey Musgraves has won six Grammy Awards for her talent in country singing and songwriting. She married fellow country artist Ruston Kelly in 2016, when they collaborated as songwriters. The two didn’t just connect as musicians, however. They also found a deep romantic attraction for one another. They married in 2017, but after nearly three years of marriage, they announced on July 3rd that they were parting ways. They made a joint statement explaining how they would always be friends, but their marriage simply wasn’t meant to be.
The statement was thoughtfully constructed, saying “We hold no blame, anger, or contempt for each other and we ask for privacy and positive wishes for us both as we learn how to navigate through this.”
Colbie Caillat and Justin Young
Colbie Caillat and Justin Young were a power couple for an entire decade. The two were close for several years after their relationship began in 2009, and they became engaged in 2015. However, they never officially tied the knot, and instead remained fiancees for five more years. Fans of the celebrity couple remained hopeful, but on April 34d, 2020, Colbie Caillat had to make a difficult statement sharing that she and Justin Young had decided to split. However, she explained that she and Young would still collaborate as musicians and artists, and would remain close friends.
Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock
Kelly Clarkson made history when she won the first season of the hit show American Idol. She’s had an incredibly prolific musical career since then, releasing album after album. In 2013, she married Brandon Blackstock, a talent manager who was the former stepson of Reba McEntire. After marrying, Brandon Blackstock became Clarkson’s personal manager. They also had two children together: River and Remington.
However, after seven long and devoted years, Kelly Clarkson officially filed for divorce on June 4th, although the reason why remains a mystery.
While we may never know what prompted Kelly Clarkson to file for divorce from Brandon Blackstock, one recent celebrity breakup is far more apparent. Make sure you stick around until the very end, because we’re going to reveal exactly why the Meital Dohan ended her marriage with legendary actor Al Pacino!
Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters
While many of the celebrities on this list ultimately decided to end things after a long relationship with their spouse or partner, the case is very different for Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters. The actor and producer decided to marry secretly on January 20th, 2020, but less than two weeks after the private ceremony, the couple had second thoughts. By this time, however, the whole world already knew that they had gotten married. On February first, Pamela Anderson issued a statement explaining that she and Jon Peters needed “some time apart to re-evaluate what we want from life and from one another.”
Tracy Morgan and Megan Wollover
Standup comedian and actor Tracy Morgan married the actress and producer Megan Wollover in August of 2015. At the time, Morgan was still recovering from a severe injury due to a car crash on the highway. Megan Wollover, however, was his rock throughout the whole ordeal. The two remained together for nearly five years, but on July 29th, they filed for divorce. The couple did not explain the reason for their divorce, and asked for respect and privacy during such a difficult time in their lives.
Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler
Kristin Cavallari is a talented TV personality, actress, and fashion designer who married the former NFL player Jay Cutler in June of 2013. Together they had three children: Camden, Jaxon, and Saylor. After seven years of marriage, however, they ultimately decided to end things in April 2020. On April 26th, Kristin Cavallari made the official statement, explaining, “This is just the situation of two people growing apart.”
However, she also explained that the two still have love and respect for each other, and the divorce seems to be amicable. Still, it is a challenging time for both of them.
Cardi B and Offset
Rapper, songwriter, and actress Cardi B married rapper Offset in 2017. Together, the two had a gorgeous daughter named Kulture. The two had a turbulent marriage, however. In December of 2018 they briefly separated, although they were able to reconcile a few months later. On September 15th, 2020, however, Cardi B filed for divorce and attempted to win primary physical custody of her daughter, as well as an equitable division of their assets. Surprisingly, the couple was somehow able to reconcile a month later, but it begs the question: How much longer will that marriage last?
Meital Dohan and Al Pacino
Metial Dohan is the starring actress in the television show Weeds. She began dating legendary actor Al Pacino, who is 79. Dohan, meanwhile, is only 43. She recently split up with Pacino, and in an interview with The Times of Israel, she explained that while she tried to ignore the age gap, it was very hard to remain with the actor because of it.
