Celebrity relationships often captivate us, from their whirlwind romances to glamorous engagements. Remember the buzz when Tom Holland and Zendaya announced their engagement in 2024, proudly showcasing that stunning ring at the 2025 Golden Globes? But despite the sparkle, some high-profile romances don’t last, and 2025 saw its fair share of heartbreaking breakups that left fans emotional.
1. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
After nearly two decades together, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban announced their split on September 29, 2025. Reports suggested the couple had been living apart since the summer, and sources revealed that while Kidman had been trying to salvage their marriage, Urban was ready to move on. Insiders told the press that their relationship lost its spark and intimacy over time, possibly affected by Kidman’s demanding filming schedule in 2024, which may have caused a growing distance between them.
2. Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini
Fans were rooting for this couple, especially since their romance began with a casual DM from Ballerini to Stokes, sparking an easy-going relationship. But after three years together, tensions started to build. According to a source from Us Weekly, it was a tough breakup, with Ballerini initiating the split. Their conflicting schedules proved too difficult to manage. The pair had begun dating in 2023 following Ballerini’s divorce from musician Morgan Evans.
3. Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson
The singer and NFL player announced their separation in early 2025 after ten years of marriage and raising three children. On January 13, they shared that they had been living apart for some time and were working through a difficult period. Their statement emphasized that their children remained their top priority. Since then, they have put their Hidden Hills home on the market, signaling a clear break.
4. Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
Alba and Warren’s relationship started on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004, leading to marriage in 2008 and the birth of their first child the same year. However, by 2025, Alba publicly acknowledged their decision to part ways after months of both appearing without wedding rings. Insiders say their bond had transformed more into a friendship. Warren reportedly struggled with jealousy over Alba’s interactions with other men, contributing to their split. Alba described the separation as a new phase of personal growth for both.
5. Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler
The young power couple ended their relationship in January 2025 after three years together, much of it kept private. Their romance became public at the 2022 Oscars afterparty, and they frequently appeared on red carpets like the Met Gala and Vanity Fair’s Oscar event. Although the reasons for their breakup remain undisclosed, speculation points to their decade age gap as a possible factor.
6. Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino
At the start of 2025, Sydney Sweeney and fiancé Jonathan Davino seemed happier than ever, even caught playfully having a snowball fight in New York City. Yet, just days later, rumors of their split surfaced. By spring, Sweeney was seen attending events alone. Having been together since 2018 and engaged in 2022, Sweeney has reportedly chosen to focus on her blossoming career rather than the relationship she once called “the man of my dreams.”
7. Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin
After nearly ten years together, Dakota Johnson and Coldplay’s Chris Martin quietly ended their engagement in 2025. Fans often joked about their prolonged engagement, which lasted years without a wedding date. Sources revealed that Johnson was frustrated by Martin’s hesitation to settle on a date, and some reports suggested they simply wanted different futures—especially regarding having more children.
8. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
In July 2025, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom finalized their separation after years of an on-and-off relationship and co-parenting their child. Their joint statement expressed a commitment to raising their daughter with love and respect despite the split. Behind the scenes, insiders told Us Weekly that tensions had been rising for months, exacerbated by Perry’s busy Lifetimes Tour and lukewarm reception to her latest album. After years of engagement without marriage, the fairy tale finally came to an end.
9. Nina Dobrev and Shaun White
The couple took their relationship public with an engagement in 2024, but by fall 2025, they had mutually decided to part ways. Sources say the decision was made with love and respect, even though Dobrev was reportedly heartbroken. Their breakup stood out as mature and drama-free in comparison to many Hollywood splits—a quiet ending to a relationship that simply ran its course.
10. Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli
After 29 years together, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli chose to live separately, unable to overcome the impact of the 2020 Varsity Blues college admissions scandal. While no official divorce has been announced, insiders say the scandal left wounds too deep to heal. Sometimes even long-lasting love can’t survive public scandal and the strain it brings.
