Late 2025 and early 2026 saw several high‑profile celebrity breakups that dominated entertainment news cycles. Some couples walked away from decades of marriage, while others dissolved rapidly‑developing relationships. Below, we break down the most notable splits — when they happened, why they happened (as reported), and what’s next for the stars involved.
Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre
Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre appeared deeply connected when they made their relationship public in 2025. The romance reportedly started through creative collaboration, and fans admired their artistic synergy.
By December 2025, sources reported the couple ended their relationship amicably, citing conflicting schedules and time apart as core factors. Both focused on their careers at year’s end, and neither publicly addressed the split, preserving privacy and mutual respect.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
After nearly two decades of marriage, the couple ended their relationship peacefully. Kidman filed for divorce in September 2025, and the court finalized it in early January 2026. They agreed to an equal division of assets and a detailed parenting plan, with no spousal support or child support exchanged. Reports indicate both stars wanted to move forward independently while co‑parenting their children with respect.
This split shocked fans because Kidman and Urban had long projected stability, but growing professional and personal differences reportedly made separation inevitable.
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas sparked headlines when they started dating during pre‑production for the film Deeper. The relationship lasted around nine months, during which both actors balanced demanding professional schedules.
According to insiders, the split happened because de Armas wanted to slow down the relationship, while Cruise pursued a faster pace toward commitment. Sources described Cruise’s approach as intense, and some said the couple’s age gap and differing lifestyles contributed to the breakup. Neither actor has publicly commented, but entertainment outlets note that de Armas has reportedly moved on while Cruise explores new connections.
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren ended their marriage after 16 years, emphasizing that they shared mutual respect and prioritized co‑parenting. The couple first made headlines with their family‑focused life, and their decision to separate drew widespread attention as an example of an amicable Hollywood divorce.
Reports suggest their split happened because both pursued individual personal and professional paths, leading them to grow apart over time rather than due to sudden conflict.
Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula
Reality stars Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula had been one of Summer House’s most featured couples since their 2021 marriage. Their breakup announcement in late 2025 reverberated through reality TV fandoms.
Insiders point to ongoing communication challenges and lifestyle differences as central to the split. With their relationship heavily documented on television, fans saw the signs emerge before the official confirmation.
Kristy and Desmond Scott
In January 2026, social media influencers Kristy Scott (formerly Kristy Sarah Small) and Desmond Scott confirmed the end of their marriage, bringing to a close more than 11 years together as spouses and nearly 15 years as a couple. Court documents show that Kristy filed for divorce on December 30, 2025, in Harris County, Texas, citing infidelity as the cause of the marital breakdown and stating that reconciliation was no longer possible.
The split quickly became a subject of public discussion after Desmond issued a statement on January 10, 2026, in which he apologized and acknowledged making “choices that I am not proud of” following conversations about separation late in 2025. Public attention intensified further when a video circulated online showing Desmond with a model, adding momentum to the scrutiny surrounding the divorce.
