Posted on Dec 21, 2025All Of The Celebrity Couples Who Shockingly (Or Not So Shockingly) Broke Up In 2025This year was a ROUGH one for celeb couples.by Alanna MarshallBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestLink Every year, there are a handful of celebrity breakups that feel like something of a personal loss (or, for certain couples, a long time coming) once they are announced to the public. In 2024, this came in the form of couples including Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan, and Cardi B and Offset, to name a few. Thestewartofny / Getty Images, Kevin Mazur / Getty Images, Gotham / Getty Images 2025 was no different, as we saw quite the mixed bag when it came to famous couple splits this year. While some were devastating (Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's separation is a notable highlight), others seemed like they were for the best, to say the least - but we'll let you decide that for yourselves. Here are all the celebrity couples who decided to part ways in 2025: 1. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Taylor Hill / Getty Images After 18 years of marriage, Nicole officially filed for divorce from Keith in September 2025, although it had been reported that the two had been living separately for several months prior. Even still, Nicole had "been fighting to save the marriage," a source told People. The two have since agreed to a parenting plan for their daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, which names Nicole as the primary residential parent and does not include spousal or child support payments. The split was cited as due to "irreconcilable differences," but their official parenting plan states: "They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent. They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families," according to E! News. 2. Lily Allen and David Harbour Sean Zanni / Getty Images After four years of marriage, the singer and Stranger Things star's split was confirmed in February 2025, although rumors of their breakup had started circulating back in December 2024, when a profile for Lily was spotted on the dating app Raya.
Lily's newest album, West End Girl, released in October 2025, reveals more of the story behind their doomed relationship as she alludes to having an open marriage and sings about a woman named "Madeline" who she suspects slept with her partner. 3. Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini Unique Nicole / Getty Images A representative of Ballerini's confirmed the couple's breakup on September 14, 2025, following three years of dating. Sources who were close to the couple at the time told People: "They're two adults who gave it their all and tried to do everything they could to make it work, but ultimately couldn't. It happens."However, the two were then spotted holding hands at dinner in Croatia on November 7, 2025, and a source told People that "After they got up, they walked together hand in hand towards Old Town." Following this, though, Chase posted an Instagram story on November 20, 2025, in which he wrote, "Don't believe the media. I'm blocked, I did nothing wrong. Sorry ❤️ I tried." 4. Nina Dobrev and Shaun White Arnold Jerocki / Getty Images It was announced that The Vampire Diaries star and former Olympic snowboarder and professional skateboarder ended their five-year-long relationship in September 2025, less than a year after getting engaged in October 2024. A source close to the couple said that the breakup was a "mutual decision, and wasn't an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another." Neither of the two has directly addressed the breakup, but fan theories about the reason behind the breakup started spreading following a TikTok video Nina posted on September 5, 2025. 5. Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade Giannulli Manuel Velasquez / Getty Images, Thestewartofny / Getty Images Having been in an on-again, off-again relationship for four years, Jacob and Olivia Jade reportedly split for good in October 2025. They initially broke up in August 2025, then reportedly got back together briefly in September. This was also around the time of Olivia's mother's divorce from Mossimo Giannulli (more on that below), and a source told People that she was more upset about what was going on there than her own breakup at the time. 6. Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin Stefanie Keenan / Getty Images, Alexandre Schneider / Getty Images After having an on-and-off relationship since 2017, the Materialists actor and Coldplay frontman reportedly called things off for good in June 2025. A source told People, "It feels final this time." Although neither the former couple nor their representatives has publicly commented on the split, a source said that Dakota was holding up well after the news broke. The same source said that "the split wasn't exactly a shock," and the couple's relationship "had the same issues for a while." 7. Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino Thestewartofny / Getty I
