We’re a little past the halfway point of 2024 and celebrities have definitely kept busy by breaking up. Honestly, if the dramatic 12 months that constituted 2023 are anything to go on, we are in for a real roller coaster as the rest of the year unfolds.
Last year, no less than 45 (I repeat: 45!!!!) celebrity couples ended their relationships—from Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn to Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner to Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval. The latter of whom’s breakup caused the most random people in my contacts list (hi, Grandma) to text demanding a full recap of everything that’s ever happened on Vanderpump Rules. So yeah, this list is small for now, but expect it to grow bigger and messier as the months go on.
Before we get into it, please be advised that in 2023, the month of July came in first with the most breakups of the year. A total of eight couples parted ways—including Adam Smith and Billy Porter, Dominic Fike and Hunter Schafer, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez, Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello, Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman, Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro, Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson, and Bebe Rexha and Keyan Safyari. Guess there’s something about the summer?
Point is: Expect this list to be updated. A lot. Especially as the weather gets warmer. Let’s get into it!
