We're taking a look back at the celeb couples who called it quits in 2023 — or whose breakups came to light this year…
Barely a month after Taylor Swift and The 1975 frontman Matty Healy were confirmed to be dating in the wake of her April breakup from actor Joe Alwyn, the musicians' nascent romance ended, TMZ reported on June 5. According to the webloid, a friend close to the situation confirmed that Taylor was "single" again, though didn't explain why the pair — who were spotted together on her "Eras" tour as well as in Nashville and New York City during May — had ended things. People magazine also confirmed a split. "She had fun with him, but it was always casual," a source told the magazine. "They are no longer romantically involved."
A source told "Entertainment Tonight" that the pair were simply both "extremely busy" and said they "realized they're not really compatible with each other," adding that "Taylor's friends want what's best for her and aren't shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship."
Page Six, meanwhile, reported that Taylor's brief romance with Matty was simply her way of having some fun following her "stifling" relationship with Joe. "She's allowed to let off some steam and [sow] her oats afterwards without people claiming first that she's 'head over heels' and then that she's 'breaking up' with the guy. It's not a breakup. It's a natural evolution of a fun little thing whose moment is over," said an insider, who further claimed, "She will not be writing albums about this one. It was a summertime thing. Does everyone have amnesia about [her whirlwind summer 2016 fling with] Tom Hiddleston? Jesus Christ."
Throwing a wrench in all the reporting, however, was Instagram gossip account Deux Moi, which in the wake of split reports claimed the pair were not over and would likely spend time together again once their "logistical problems" — Taylor was continuing to tour in America while The 1975 had tour obligations in Europe — came to their natural conclusions.

It's over for "Selling Sunset" boss Jason Oppenheim and model Marie Lou Nurk after 10 months of dating. On May 31, the founder of luxury real estate brokerage The Oppenheim Group announced on his Instagram Story that "while we still love and care about each other very much the distance between us has proven to be too great a challenge to overcome. We remain close friends and continue to talk often and support each other and we want the very best for one another. We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship."
Marie had moved back to Paris, where she works, and was splitting time between the City of Light and Los Angeles, where she and the Netflix star had recently moved into a home together. The former couple met while vacationing in Greece in the summer of 2022.

Country music singer Jimmie Allen made two major announcements on April 21: He and wife Alexis Gale called it quits — and they're expecting their third child together amid their split. The former couple — who married in 2020 — were already parents to toddlers Naomi and Zara at the time they shared their breakup news. "After much thought and reflection in recent months, Lex & I have made the decision to separate," Jimmie wrote on Instagram. "As we navigate this life change, we can also share that we will be welcoming another child together later this year."
In May — hours after Jimmie' former day-to-day manager filed a civil lawsuit against him for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, sex trafficking and emotional distress that allegedly occurred between 2020 and 2022 (he's denied the claims, insisting it was consensual) — it was confirmed that the singer and his estranged wife both filed for divorce on April 28, which they also cited as their separation date. Jimmie asked for joint custody of their girls while Alexis asked that the children primarily live with her; she also requested alimony.
Days later on May 18, Jimmie took to Instagram with a public mea culpa to his pregnant wife. "I want to publicly apologize to my wife Alexis for humiliating her with my affair. I'm embarrassed that my choices have brought shame on her. That's something that she did not deserve at all," he began, adding, "I also want to apologize to my children for being a poor example of a man and a father. I'm working on becoming a better person that my kids can be proud of. My goal is to be better than the generation before me." He ended his post, "The business takes so much from you. It's full of temptations that can cripple you and ruin everything you've built. I'm ashamed that I wasn't strong enough to withstand them. I will no longer be a victim of my weaknesses. I challenge everyone to seek help when they need it. Do not be afraid of your weakness, surround yourself with people that WILL help you. Be Blessed."

On May 16, Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert announced that her 18-year marriage is over. "It is with a heavy weight on my heart that I have filed for divorce from my husband," Jayson Boebert, the Republican lawmaker said in a statement, as reported by the Colorado Sun. "I am grateful for our years of marriage together and for our [four] beautiful children, all of whom deserve privacy and love as we work through this process. I've always been faithful in my marriage, and I believe strongly in marriage, which makes this announcement that much more difficult," she continued, adding, "This is truly about irreconcilable differences. I do not intend to discuss this matter any further in public out of respect for our children, and will continue to work hard to represent the people of Colorado's 3rd Congressional District."
More headline-making details then emerged. DailyMail.com reported that Lauren, who cited April 25 as their date of separation, is asking for primary custody of their sons — one of whom is expecting a baby with his girlfriend — as well as spousal and child support from Jayson. The outlet also reported that the politician attempted to have her husband served with divorce papers at their home but that he refused to take them from a process server, who in court docs stated that upon approaching Jayson, he observed "that he was drinking a tall glass of beer and cleaning a gun that was sitting on a table." According to the process server, "Once he learned that he was being served with Dissolution of Marriage papers he was extremely angry. I tried to hand him the documents but [he] did not take them. He started yelling and using profanities and told me that I was trespassing and that he was calling the Sheriff's Office. I told him I was leaving the documents on the chair outside the door, he closed the door then let the dogs out."
Jayson responded to DailyMail.com, saying in a text to the outlet, "I am torn by this a very sad thing. A horrible moment in my life. I love her too much to say anything bad about her. She is the mother of my children and my partner for the last 20 years. Please just let me have some peace."
The former couple met in 2003 when Lauren was 16 and working at a Burger King where Jayson, then 22, came for lunch. They wed in 2006.

Page Six reported on May 17 that scandalized "Vanderpump Rules" duo Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss officially called it quits just two months after their affair sent shockwaves through the Bravoverse. "Raquel dipped out. Sandoval is not the one for her," a source said. It's Tom's second big breakup this year: In early March, Ariana Madix gave him the boot following a decade of coupledom after she caught him cheating with her then-bestie. On the May 17 episode of "Watch What Happens Live," Ariana said she didn't believe the Tom-Raquel breakup report. "I don't buy that at all. [Raquel] was sending letters to my house [that Tom co-owns] like four days ago."

It's over for former Bravo star Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her retired NFL player husband, Kroy Biermann, after 11 years of marriage and four kids together. On May 8, TMZ reported that the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum filed for divorce because their marriage is "irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation." She listed April 30 as their date of separation and asked the court for spousal support and sole physical custody with visitation for Kroy. TMZ later obtained Kroy's divorce petition, which further indicated things were nasty: He's asking for sole legal and physical custody as well as for possession of their Alpharetta, Georgia, home — which went into foreclosure in February — and for Kim to vacate the property. He also wants her to maintain all financial documents including income records, tax records, expense records and more, which TMZ reported suggests a deep conflict over who's responsible for their financial problems.
Those money issues are significant: TMZ broke the news that Kim and Kroy owe the IRS $1.1 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties from 2013, 2017, and 2018 as well as another $15,000 to the state of Georgia for unpaid taxes from 2018.
After the breakup news broke, a friend of Kim's told People magazine that the reality TV star had been planning to end her marriage for "a long time," however, Kim "had not told anyone, not even family," the friend added. "Even [her] friends were kept in the dark." The pal further confirmed that "the money [problem] has been a huge issue. The million-dollar tax [payment] was just way too much pressure on them." A different source told People that there were other issues as well. "There's no cheating on either side. The money has a lot to do with the split, but there were other factors [too]," said the source. "[Kroy]'s been managing [the family] for a long time, so he technically did have a job. They're not on good terms right now."

She and Kevin both asked the court for joint custody of their three children. Christine did not ask for spousal support in her filing; Kevin's lawyer, Laura Wasser, indicated in the "Yellowstone" actor's divorce response that support would be paid according to the terms of their prenup.
The actor's rep issued a cryptic statement when the split news broke, saying, "It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action. We ask that his, Christine's and their children's privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time."

Shannen Doherty is ending her 11-year marriage to her third husband, photographer Kurt Iswarienko — and it's incredibly acrimonious. On April 21, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Charmed" actress — who has stage 4 breast cancer — filed for divorce in Los Angeles with the help of famed attorney Laura Wasser. According to TMZ, the former couple — who split in January — do not have a prenup; Shannen is asking for Kurt to pay spousal support but does not want a judge to award him any spousal support.
"Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted. Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option," the actress's publicist, Leslie Sloane, told TMZ, pointedly adding some context to the breakup, "You can contact Kurt's agent, Collier Grimm at PICTUREKID as she is intimately involved."

On April 8, "Entertainment Tonight" confirmed that Taylor Swift and her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn, quietly called it quits sometime a few weeks earlier. "It was not dramatic. … The relationship had just run its course. It's why [he] hasn't been spotted at any shows," a source said, referencing the pop star's The Eras Tour, which launched in mid-March. (People magazine also confirmed the breakup news.) The duo were rumored to be either engaged or secretly married, but Page Six reported that they had not, in fact, tied the knot.
So what went wrong? The breakup was largely caused by "differences in their personalities," a source close to the former couple told People, explaining that "the differences in their personalities [became] harder to ignore after years together. They've grown apart." Taylor's enormous stardom was also a factor, the source added: "Joe has struggled with Taylor's level of fame and the attention from the public." Taylor and Joe "had rough patches before and always worked things out, so friends thought they would take some time apart but eventually come back together," the source told People, but "ultimately," the singer and the actor "weren't the right fit for one another."

"Our children remain our biggest priority and the eight and half years we have spent together will always be cherished. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time."
Michael issued a statement of his own after Eva filed, telling theJasmineBRAND, "I am not going to lose my wife. I am going to fight for her with every fiber in my being. I love her and I plan to show her how much I love her and that our love is strong enough to get to the other side."
They share sons Michael Jr., 4, and Maverick, 3. Eva is also a mom to daughter Marley Rae McCall from a previous relationship.

A source later told People magazine the former collaborators "have been on and off for the past two months, but are no longer together as a couple." Avril's rep confirmed the breakup news to multiple media outlets but Mod Sun's rep insisted "they were together and engaged as of three days ago when he left for tour so if anything has changed, that's news to him." Speculation that cheating was involved emerged after Avril was photographed hugging musician Tyga on Feb. 19, but it's not accurate, a source told People, insisting, "There was absolutely no third party involved in the split."
On Feb. 28, Mod Sun broke his silence, writing on Instagram, "In 1 week my entire life completely changed…I just know there's a plan for it all. I'll keep my head up + always listen to my heart, even when it feels broken Being surrounded by love every night on tour has been an absolute blessing.

Miguel, meanwhile, wrote in his own statement on Instagram that while he and Lindy "tried to be the person each other needed," they "could never quite rise to the occasion in a way that was sustainable" for them both. "It's a devastatingly hard pill to swallow when you deeply care about someone but equally deeply know that you're not right for each other," he wrote, adding in the caption that "divorce feels like you'll never quite smile the same way again" and that "it's a sorrow that just lingers."

The People insider went on to shed some light on what went wrong: "Kylie is very focused on her kids and her business. She is not a big partier. Travis is the opposite. He likes to party. They definitely have different focuses. They always did. … There is a reason that they never got married. It's always been very up and down. And they have never even lived together. They have always had separate homes," the source said, adding that it's "never been an easy relationship" and that the mother of two "flips out" whenever rumors surface alleging that Travis has been unfaithful — which isn't exactly a rare occurrence. The latest round of infidelity allegations surfaced in October 2022.

I was hopeful this was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I wanted it to work out. I've never loved anyone like I've loved John. But clearly, he didn't feel the same way," she said. John, meanwhile, told People that ending the relationship was "super hard" for him: "I love Shannon very much. I have loved her more deeply than any woman in my life. … We have a connection that's unlike anything I've ever had. And I know that for as long as I live, I'll never meet anyone like her again. But that doesn't mean we're right for each other for the rest of our lives," he said, calling the decision to go their separate ways "the right thing for the both of us."

On the Jan. 8 episode of her "Intimate Knowledge" podcast, Meghan King revealed that she's no longer seeing the mystery man she codenamed Kenny late last year. "[He] played me like a fiddle and I'm not happy about it," she said, explaining that she found out from "random people" on Instagram that Kenny "had a girlfriend the whole time" they were together. Initially, the "Real Housewives of Orange County" alum didn't believe the rumors about Kenny, but she broke up with him anyway in December when she "had this realization that this is not going to work between us." Two weeks later, Kenny's "devastated" girlfriend contacted her directly to reveal that they were together after he spent Thanksgiving with Meghan and her family. The mother of three went on to say that there were "signs looking back" that Kenny was shady, but she "didn't really like him enough to care to look at these signs."
