2025 is shaping up to be a significant year for celebrity breakups, building on the heartbreaks of 2024. This past year, many notable relationships ended: Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly faced yet another challenge, Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum parted ways, and Lisa Bonet reconciled with Jason Momoa. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s renewed romance fell apart as did the marriage of Britney Spears and Sam Asghari along with Christina Haack’s third marriage.
As 2025 begins, it seems celebrity breakups are on the rise once again, possibly outdoing last year’s losses. Here’s a look at the couples who have already reported separations in this new year.
Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler
The relationship between Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler, a strikingly attractive couple, marked the start of 2025’s breakup news. Reports indicate that they ended their relationship discreetly towards the end of 2024 after three years together. Their split was mostly considered friendly, with speculation suggesting that outside influences, particularly from Kaia’s parents, may have contributed to their decision to part ways. Sources mentioned Butler’s discomfort with parental involvement and Kaia’s disappointment over their interference as potential factors leading to their separation.
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
In another blow to celebrity marriages, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have decided to divorce after nearly 17 years together. Their separation raises questions about the future care of their three children. While the official reason for their split remains unclear, prior hints suggested they had been experiencing an ongoing struggle, with Alba previously describing their relationship more like that of roommates. Warren had spoken fondly about their partnership just months before the news broke, emphasizing the importance of supporting each other within their marriage. However, the hidden tensions were apparent and may have ultimately affected their lasting bond.
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have officially ended their marriage after a decade together. Simpson shared the news with People, stating, “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage.” Despite their separation, they remain dedicated to co-parenting their three children—Maxwell, Birdie Mae, and Ace Knute. She emphasized that their children are their main focus. “We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way,” she added, asking for privacy during this difficult time as they work through their family situation.
This separation isn’t a sudden decision. Reports indicate they have been living apart for several months prior to their announcement. Additionally, sources reveal that Simpson had been secretly creating an album reflecting her experiences surrounding the separation. “It will be about her broken heart, so, yeah, I guess you can call it a revenge, a heartbreak album,” an insider told the Daily Mail. This project, which has been developed over several years, aims to emotionally express her personal struggles. Fans will have to wait for the album’s release to hear more of her story!
