A source close to the NFL star similarly told People magazine, "It was an amicable split; it just wasn't working. They're very different people with busy careers and there were obstacles that they couldn't surmount. They will remain friendly; there's no bad blood and no drama. It just didn't work out for them." But in the days that followed, Aaron seemed to hint that they might be back on.

We have decided to separate," she told Bravo's The Daily Dish. "We are aware that there will be many speculative views as to why we have made this decision. People will be quick to assume that the causes were too much intrusion by reality TV into the most personal parts of our lives, age gap issues, cultural problems, or child-rearing differences." Ashley continued, "Pieces of all these may have affected our pure love for each other, but no one reason is the root cause of our mutual decision to go our separate ways. We are now both at very different stages in our lives and have different goals for our futures. We both want the other to achieve true happiness and fulfillment and feel that we cannot do this together." The pair share two sons, Dean and Dylan.

We love each other just about as much as two people can love each other and we're still talking all the time, but Freddy doesn't like a swimming pool.

I care deeply about Bobby and have nothing but love and respect for him. I want how we separate from each other to represent that." Bobby added in a post of his own, "If there is one thing I can say about both of us, it's that we both gave everything we absolutely could to make this work.

After nearly five years of marriage, country music star Sam Hunt's wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, filed for divorce in Tennessee on Feb. 18, TMZ reported on Feb. 21. The reason? Court papers revealed Hannah claimed Sam was "guilty of inappropriate marital conduct" and "guilty of adultery." On top of the shocking split, court papers further revealed that Hannah was pregnant and due in May (the pair had not previously shared that they were expecting a child). Hannah asked the court to award her alimony, primary custody of their baby and child support. Days later, it was revealed that she withdrew her divorce petition just a few hours after filing it. TMZ later clarified, however, that she simply filed for divorce in the wrong county, so her lawyers remedied the situation by refiling in the correct jurisdiction. TMZ later reported that in April, Hannah asked the court to dismiss the divorce case and that a judge had signed off on it. The webloid further reported that the singer and the nurse had been spotted walking their dog together in Franklin, Tennessee, and that Sam had started wearing his wedding ring again, pointing to a reconciliation.

The rumors were true: On Jan. 24, People magazine published a joint statement from Bachelor Nation's Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian — who got engaged on season 7 of "Bachelor in Paradise" in 2021 — confirming they'd recently called it quits. "We have decided to go our separate ways. Never did we imagine this, but we've come to a point where we both need to work on ourselves," they said. It's unclear when exactly they ended their relationship.

On Jan. 24 — about a week after Princess Cristina of Spain's husband of 24 years, Inaki Urdangarin, was photographed holding hands with another woman, Ainhoa Armentia, in France — the royals released a joint statement announcing that "by mutual agreement," they'd "decided to break off our marriage." According to Britain's Express newspaper, Inaki acknowledged the implication of the photos, telling a group of reporters, "These things happen. It is a difficulty that we will manage with the utmost tranquility and together as we have always done." ¡HOLA! reported that Cristina — the younger of King Felipe VI of Spain's two older sisters — "already knew" about her estranged husband's new relationship before the photos hit the Internet (see them here).

On Jan. 21, People magazine reported that Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund had ended their nearly three-year romance a few weeks earlier following a few rough months. "It's sad, and they are trying their best to co-parent. It's been hard," said an insider of the former couple, who welcomed son Rhodes in December 2020. A source shared a similar sentiment with "Entertainment Tonight," saying the relationship "has been rocky for a long time and the situation is really sad right now." Two days after the breakup news made headlines, Garrett was arrested for public intoxication in Franklin County, Tennessee.

On Jan. 20, Rolling Stone broke the news that Pamela Anderson and her husband of about a year, Dan Hayhurst, quietly called it quits. A source described the relationship as a "pandemic whirlwind" romance that simply ran its course. (Pam's rep later confirmed the news to People magazine.) Us Weekly's sources said the pair hadn't "been getting along" and ultimately decided to take some "time apart." Explained one insider, "Pamela rushed into [the] marriage. … She saw the marriage as a fresh start, but the spark has faded." While the actress was "having regrets" about the union, her estranged husband "really wants to make the marriage work," said the insider. A second Us Weekly source said that "Pam left Dan … without a single goodbye" after the holidays. An E! news source, meanwhile, said "there was no straw that broke the camel's back" but rather that Dan "is not the man she hoped he was." The "Baywatch" beauty has been married six times to five different men: Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, Rick Salomon, Jon Peters and Dan. Pam maintains her 2020 union with Jon was never legally binding, and she married Rick Salomon twice — first in 2007 and then in late 2013 or early 2014.

On Jan. 12, Jason Momoa took to Instagram to announce that he and Lisa Bonet were "parting ways in marriage" after more than four years as husband and wife and more than 15 years as a couple. "The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other to be who we are learning to become," he wrote. An E! News source later shed some light on what went wrong: Amid a big boom in the "Aquaman" star's career, he and the former teen idol realized they "wanted different things" in life and ultimately "drifted apart." (Lisa reportedly prefers a quieter lifestyle focused on health and wellness at her home in Los Angeles, while Jason is "very focused on his career and wants to work.")

On Jan. 9, Bachelor Nation's Katie Morton — who competed for Colton Underwood's heart on season 23 of "The Bachelor" in 2019 — announced on YouTube that she and English professional soccer player James Rowe called it quits in August 2021 following about a year of coupledom after he failed to sign with an American team. "There were a lot of things that came into play that put a lot of pressure on us, and ultimately we separated at the end of August," she said, adding that at the time, they didn't know when they'd see each other again. "This might be a bad timing thing. We still love each other. It's not going how we had wanted it to," she continued. "We both individually had things that we wanted to work on, and they weren't lining up so ultimately it just wasn't working out for us. … So anyway, we separated, and I would say it was a decently amicable split." She also implied that her ex is suffering an "identity crisis" as his career as a professional athlete winds down — which he'll need to navigate on his own.
