Share

2025 has seen a lot of celebrities breakups, whether it was longtime marriages of high-profile couples, couples that have been engaged for years, or short-term relationships that ended quietly. Here are some of the most talked-about breakups so far, what went down, and what fans are speculating.

Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom

One of the biggest shockers, after nearly a decade together and being engaged since 2019. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom officially split in June 2025. This couple has been together, sometimes on and off, for almost a decade. Sources say their split was amicable, with distance most likely caused by Perry’s recent tour putting stress on their relationship, causing it to end. At the moment, their main focus is co-parenting their daughter, Daisy. 

Even with the recent breakup, Katy Perry has begun a new relationship with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, shocking many fans.

Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin

This year, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin ended their eight-year relationship for good. They were engaged for six of their eight years together, with sources claiming that they were in “no rush to get married.” While their relationship has been on and off in the past, inside sources have claimed that this time felt more serious than other times. Fans even claimed that Martin had been more emotional during his concerts when singing certain songs that were about relationships. 

Sydney Sweeney & Jonathan Davino

This very private couple called off their long-time engagement earlier this year. Speculation of the couple’s split began during the filming/press tour of Sweeney’s movie, Anyone But You. The couple continued to deny claims of their split. Fans began asking questions when Sweeney appeared at several events without her ring. This led to the confirmation of the couple’s breakup.

Lily Allen & David Harbour

After months of speculation and public distance, Lily Allen and David Harbour officially ended their four-year marriage. Their busy schedules and time apart were cited as major factors.

Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban

One of the most heartbreaking splits of 2025 was the end of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s nearly two-decade marriage. The pair, long admired as one of Hollywood’s most stable couples, shocked fans when they announced their separation early this year. While they kept details private, sources close to the couple suggested that demanding travel schedules and long stretches apart had taken a toll.

Despite the breakup, both emphasized their love and respect for one another, especially as co-parents to their two daughters. Their joint statement focused on gratitude rather than conflict, making their split feel like the end of a meaningful chapter rather than a scandal. For many fans, this was the celebrity breakup that truly marked the end of an era.

Amaya Espinal & Bryan Arenales

While they coupled up late on Love Island, they were the fan-favorites who ended up winning it all. Even though they seemed like they really cared about each other on the show, their relationship was very short-lived. Viewers of the show began speculating what happened, but fans never got a clear response. The couple only stated that they still cared about each other deeply and needed some space to grow as individuals. Their split may have been amicable, but fans started questioning whether or not they should have won the show, especially since some of the other couples are still together. 

Kelsea Ballerini & Chase Stokes

Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini split earlier this year, making a lot of fans upset. This was a couple that was highly adored and publicized, and many fans were rooting for them to work out. Fans were confused because there was speculation of their split right after Stokes had posted for Ballerini’s birthday. At first, many fans were unsure if the rumors were true, but eventually the couple confirmed their split. Sources say filming commitments and Ballerini’s tour caused the couple to struggle and eventually call it quits. 

Olivia Jade & Jacob Elordi

This on-again, off-again relationship ended for good this year. Their relationship and split-up were private for the most part. A few sources have shared that their influence and acting so much that they were unable to make time for each other. 

Maggie Thurman & Benson Boone

Benson Boone became a breakout musician in the last couple of years, and his girlfriend Maggie Thurman had been through it all with him. They began dating early on in his music career and made many red carpet appearances throughout his rise in popularity. The couple quietly separated, with fans wondering why. Maggie reposted and commented on a TikTok with many fans speculating that he may have cheated, but nothing has been confirmed.  

Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson

Eric Johnson and Jessica Simpson were one of the more shocking splits of the year, especially since they had been married for 14 years. They have kept the details of their split very private, but sources said the split was a mutual decision made based on changing priorities and different lifestyles. 

JaNa Craig & Kenny Rodriguez

This breakup shook the internet. After watching them fall in love on Love Island and seeing their years together posted on social media, fans were shocked to hear of their split. After the couple ended things, everyone began speculating about what happened, as the cast from their season of Love Island began unfollowing Kenny. This led to rumors and cryptic posts about whether Kenny had cheated on JaNa. Viewers and followers began taking sides after leaks of text messages from Kenny saying awful things about JaNa surfaced. Safe to say it was messy.

Nina Dobrev & Shaun White

The actress and Olympic gold medalist quietly ended their relationship after several years together. The breakup was low-drama and mutual. Both wished each other well as they focused on their separate careers and travel-heavy schedules.
