16 Celeb Couples That Shocked People When They Broke Up
We recently asked BuzzFeed Community members to share the celeb couple breakups that surprised them the most, and depending on your age, you might feel super nostalgic or shocked that these celebs dated each other in the first place: "Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. I wouldn't say I was shocked, but more sad. I think he really needs her and still does. It just sucks that he can't also be what SHE needs. I'm glad they can still co-parent and be friends, though." —cupcakekrystle "Chris Pratt and Anna Faris. They seemed so sweet and supportive of each other to the public. Anna's story about showing him her bug collection on a date and his sweet reaction to it was just precious. But found out more about Christ Pratt." —rsmith8235 "Jerry Ferrara and Jamie-Lynn Sigler was an unexpected and awesome couple that I celebrated for being so unexpected and awesome. They met on Entourage and were great together, but they split due to their work schedules. Oh, the what-ifs..." —dukerigali "Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton. My childhood died that day." —dizzycloud563 "Courtney Cox and David Arquette." —edgycat84 "Kim and Kanye were so in love for so long and clicked so well when they first met. I mean, by the time they broke up, I wasn't too shocked because he seemed totally wild. But part of me thought and hoped that all the stuff he was doing was just for media attention, and that he was mostly normal at home with his friends and family. So, I don't know, their divorce made me sad for them. And to have so many kids just breaks my heart a little." —furryship428 "Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone." —kaliiiiiuchiisssssfannnn "I was sad when Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter split. They worked together on Dexter. As someone who thinks their characters are awesome and has respect for the actors, it was easy to root for them, so it was sad when they split." —savannahg4e56476eb "Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. They were an OG celeb couple in the early 2000s, and everyone knew them as 'Bennifer.' Like, they were THE power couple. They were totally iconic, had that whole movie-star-romance vibe, then *poof* — they split for years, leaving everyone shook. And when they reunited in 2021?! That was a whole mood switch-up that no one saw coming! It was like the ultimate 'will they or won't they' scenario that actually came full circle." —sharpwolf3045 "Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon." —rae_zhee "This might be a weird one, but I thought Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra seemed super compatible. Even after their divorce, they still posted kind things about each other. I think this is one couple that would've succeeded if not for the fame component. Fame is a messed up thing." —originalknight396 "Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. They were together from the 1970s until the 2010s. However, they are still amicable and spend time together." —brandistea "Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan." —artisticorca74 "Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet. It still feels weird." —alice_follows_the_white_rabbit "Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, divorcing after being married for 27 years. It always makes me sad to see a couple divorce after being together for so long, and I truly never thought that they would." —ronswansonn And, for the giggles of it all: "Trump and Elon." —dogsandmashedpotatoes Which celebrity couple breakup surprised you the most?
