Below is a look at the year’s most talked about separations, focusing on what was confirmed and when. You will find the key timeline details, how the news surfaced, and any official notes from reps or court documents. No speculation here, just the facts that marked the end of these relationships.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
The couple ended their engagement in 2025 after nearly a decade together and one child. Soon after the news broke, Bloom addressed the split publicly in July and spoke about mutual respect and their focus on family, which gave fans the first clear acknowledgment from either side.
The relationship began in 2016, included a brief break, and moved to an engagement in 2019 followed by the birth of their daughter in 2020. Through 2025 both continued work and appearances separately while keeping updates about arrangements and co parenting limited to short public comments.
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
Alba filed for divorce on February 7 in Los Angeles and cited irreconcilable differences. The filing listed a late December 2024 separation date and requested joint custody of their three children as well as the restoration of her legal name.
The pair married in 2008 after meeting on a film set and spent sixteen years together. Their split became public in January 2025 through social media before the court filing confirmed next steps and outlined custody details moving forward.
Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber
News of their breakup surfaced in early January 2025 after more than three years of dating. A source confirmed the split in the first week of the new year, following months of private low profile appearances to close out 2024.
The two first sparked dating talk in late 2021 and made red carpet appearances together in 2022 and 2023. After the split, they each returned to individual projects and public outings, with follow up reporting noting that neither side offered further comment.
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin
Multiple outlets confirmed in early June that Johnson and Martin ended their nearly eight year relationship. Reports described the breakup as final this time, and both kept public comments to a minimum while continuing separate schedules.
The pair were last seen together in May before confirmation arrived in June. Subsequent coverage documented each person’s separate appearances and noted that family connections remained cordial, including mentions of friendly ties within their extended circle.
Nina Dobrev and Shaun White
The couple called off their engagement in September after five years together. Confirmation arrived on September 11, followed by a brief television appearance from White that avoided specifics while acknowledging a new chapter.
Reports noted the pair were photographed together at the end of August, with signs of a split becoming clear during early September events. Follow up stories outlined a respectful separation and pointed to differing plans as background without formal statements from either.
Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes
A rep confirmed in mid September that Ballerini and Stokes had ended their relationship after nearly three years. Sources close to the pair emphasized that both tried to make it work and ultimately decided to part on good terms.
They first drew attention as a couple in early 2023 and attended several high profile events together through 2025. Coverage of the breakup included a brief look back at how they managed distance and schedules during their time together.
Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci
In September the director and actress announced their split in a joint statement shared with a wire service and then reported widely. The statement highlighted respect and care and confirmed the end of a two year relationship.
The two first reconnected publicly in 2022 and stepped out together at festivals in 2023. Reporting also noted Bellucci’s role in a 2024 Burton project, with both now moving forward privately after the announcement.
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson
Simpson shared in January that she and Johnson were ending their marriage, and later interviews described the period as deeply difficult. The update arrived through social posts that asked for privacy and focused on family.
The couple married in 2014 and share three children. Public coverage through 2025 tracked the initial announcement and noted that further legal details were kept private as both continued to prioritize co parenting and work.
Lily Allen and David Harbour
Court filings in February confirmed that Allen filed to end the marriage. Documents cited irreconcilable differences and set out the procedural steps as both parties moved to resolve matters formally.
The pair married in 2020 and split after several years living between the United States and the United Kingdom. Reporting focused on the filing itself and on the couple’s plans to handle the process without extensive public comment.
Naomi Osaka and Cordae
Osaka shared in early January that she and Cordae had separated. The announcement came shortly after her return to competition and set the record straight on her personal life while she balanced the start of a new season.
The two were first linked in 2019 and welcomed a daughter in 2023. After the January update, coverage noted that both kept attention on family and individual careers with no additional details beyond the initial confirmation.
Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade Giannulli
In August a source confirmed that Elordi and Giannulli had broken up after an on and off relationship that began in 2021. She later showed support at a festival premiere, and new reports in September said they were seeing each other again after the split.
Their timeline included a 2023 rekindling and several low key trips. Public updates in 2025 followed the August breakup note with separate appearances and then a September sighting that suggested a renewed connection.
Dermot Mulroney and Prima Apollinaare
Mulroney filed for divorce in June after fifteen years of marriage. Court documents requested joint legal and physical custody of their two children and laid out the initial terms for the case.

Phypers filed for divorce on July 7 and listed a July 4 separation date. Subsequent filings from both sides detailed requests regarding support and property and documented an increasingly contentious legal process through late summer.
