In Hollywood, sometimes the celebrity breakups are even juicier than the hookups, though we are occasionally legit sad about a divorce. For a refresher on the many ways a relationship can end, check out the splits of 2023. Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’s shockingly messy split and subsequent custody battle, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright throwing us for a loop, Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton’s quick romance and even quicker split, and poor Britney Spears and Sam Asghari! If 2023 wasn’t hard enough, 2024 will surely have splits galore in store.
Former Bach success story Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo kicked things off at the beginning of January, landing at the top of the surprise celebrity breakups list. “After more than four years of marriage, Rachel and I have made the difficult decision to part ways and start anew…sometimes loving yourself and your partner means you must let go,” the man known as Dr. Abs wrote on Instagram, providing a basic template for all the announcements to follow. Attention, future divorcees of Hollywood: You must use the words respect, privacy, mutual, and difficult decision in your announcement or else, legally, the State of California will not finalize your divorce. (We kid.)
