Celebrities are always in the public limelight: their actions and behavior are put under the microscope, and don’t you dare to slip up – the media will rip you to pieces in no time. A real mayhem starts when someone famous is getting divorced: the entire fan world splits into two fractions sincerely hating the opponent.
This is exactly what happened with the lingering divorce between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. For several months, the world was witnessing the scandal between the Pirates of the Caribbean star and the Aquaman’s girlfriend-to-be until they finalized their divorce at the beginning of 2017.
The reason for divorce, domestic abuse, so as the litigations were ugly and dispiriting but it looks that it stimulated a few of our readers to call it quits peacefully: “Before this whole story, my ex and I were on fighting terms but then something clicked. We agreed that we could solve our differences out of court and filed for uncontested divorce in Alaska online. We saved a good lot of money, and even managed to stay friends.”
The divorce between Depp and Heard received so much publicity that even four years after it is still fresh. Meanwhile, it was followed by some other loud and unexpected celebrity divorces.
Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum
The actors met back in 2006 when they were acting in a popular dance movie Step up. Three years later, they got married, and in 2013 their daughter was born. Tatum and Dewan seemed destined to last, when in April of 2018 they surprised the public having announced their divorce after almost 9 years of happy marriage. Both didn’t wait long and started new relationships. While the affair with Jessy J didn’t work out for Tatum, Dewan happily married an American actor and singer Steven Kazee. Now the couple have a son together.
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux
We all were devastated when Bradd Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broke up in 2005 – they looked so great together. When she married to Justin Theraux in 2015, it looked like she finally got her happy ending but it just didn’t meant to be. After less than three years of marriage, the couple announced their decision to part ways. Immediately after their divorce, many mass media resources started guessing that the actors were too different to live happily ever after. Whether it’s true or not, we’re happy you were so deeply in love for over two years, Jenn!
Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis
Even if Thirteen wasn’t one of your favorite M.D. House characters, we’re sure you were happy when Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis got engaged, and then welcomed two beautiful kids. How unexpected indeed was their decision to go separate ways! Thankfully, the couple managed to stay friends for the good of their children.
Tracy Morgan and Megan Wollover
It looks like corona crisis didn’t go well for the marriage of American stand-up comedian Tracy Morgan either. In summer of 2020, the couple announced of their decision to file for divorce after five years of marriage.
Truth be told, 2020 was a hard year for many celebrities whose relationships didn’t pass the test of strength. Let’s be real: even more separations are yet to come; however, even more happy endings are out there too.
