2019 was a roller coaster in love for everyone. With so many changes in the world of A-list
courtship, us regular folk were busy living for the goss, giving our two cents on every
breakup, make-up, and newfound budding romance. These are the most devastating celebrity breakups
of 2019. Nobody expected a breakup from Miley Cyrus
and Liam Hemsworth in August 2019. The couple went back a full decade, having
met on the set of the Nicholas Sparks-adapted tearjerker, The Last Song, in 2009. The two were on-again, off-again for years
until they finally got engaged in 2012 – only to call off the engagement the following year. Giving us all a break from the guessing game
for a few years, the pair was seen together yet again in early 2016. In December 2018, the former co-stars filled
all our inner-teenage hearts with glee when they announced their marriage. Marital bliss didn't last long, however, as
the couple announced their split eight months later. It turned out the split wasn't exactly mutual,
as Hemsworth reportedly found out about his divorce in the cruelest way possible — through
social media. To make matters worse, hours after Cyrus announced
the split, photos of her kissing now-ex girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter began surfacing. Naturally, Hemsworth filed for divorce. As a source told Us Weekly, the Hunger Games
star was hoping for a reconciliation until the photos surfaced, which were a total nail
in the coffin. Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk's relationship
came to a close in 2019 — only months after the actor-director's flick, A Star Is Born,
was released. Cooper and his model missus were first linked
together in August 2015, when they were snapped frolicking in Capri. By 2017, the couple welcomed their daughter,
Lea, into the world. For the most part, the duo remained pretty
private about their personal life. However, rumors were flying about Cooper's
alleged romance with his A Star is Born co-star, Lady Gaga. The height of speculation happened during
the co-stars' Oscars performance of their hit song, "Shallow." The goss was so intense, in fact, it actually
caused Gaga to address the rumors and deny them on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Nevertheless, be it because of Gaga or not,
Shayk and Cooper announced their breakup in June 2019. Perhaps the most devastating part of Christina
Hendricks and Geoffrey Arend's breakup is the fact that there weren't any rumors — simply
put, they drifted apart. The once-happy couple met through Hendricks'
Mad Men co-star, Vincent Kartheiser, in 2007, according to The Guardian. To make the final outcome even more heartbreaking,
the former pair walked the red carpet together countless times and couldn't help but praise
one another constantly. In October 2019, Hendricks posted an adorable
throwback photo of the couple on Instagram, writing, "My proudest costume moment to date. [...] Ladies and Gentlemen, Nosferatu and
wolf man." But fans didn't have time to coo for long,
as less than a full 24 hours later, the couple mutually announced that they were splitting
up — after ten years of marriage. Longtime loves Solange Knowles and Alan Ferguson
called it quits in 2019, after almost five years of marriage. Their marriage itself in 2014 was something
for the Instagram history books, with perfect decor and the singer's whole family in tow. In an email to Vogue, Knowles gushed, "Everyone I worked with on the wedding are
friends who I love. Everything was a labor of love." While their wedding was truly idyllic, Knowles
sadly announced their split in November 2019 — although they'd allegedly been separated
for months. Posting a long but heartfelt note on her Instagram,
the crooner explained, "The past 2 years have brought me more physical
and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before my body left me with no choice
but to listen. [...] 11 years ago I met a phenomenal man
who changed every existence of my life. early this year we separated and parted ways." When Todd Palin filed for divorce from his
wife, Sarah Palin, in September 2019, the world was shook. After all, the couple had been together for
a whopping 31 years, having initially been high school sweethearts. As revealed by People, Todd decided to say
goodbye to the former Alaska Governor on his birthday, citing, quote, an "incompatibility
of temperament […] they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife." Yikes. "Funny. Ha ha. Not. Funny." While some were under the impression that
things were fine between the once-happy couple, others claimed there indeed were problems. Levi Johnston, the father of their grandson
and ex-fiance of daughter Bristol, claimed to Radar Online back in 2009 that the marriage
was actually rocky from day one. Nevertheless, Sarah had hope, telling Christian
broadcaster James Dobson that her relationship with Todd wasn't, quote, "over, over." Only time will tell. You can always count on the Kardashians to
deliver the hottest goss of the year — usually giving them enough fodder for a new season
of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, too. When news broke that Khloé Kardashian's longtime
boyfriend, NBA star Tristan Thompson, was caught allegedly cheating on her with none
other than Kylie Jenner's then-BFF, Jordyn Woods, in February 2019, everyone had something
to say. TMZ broke the news that Kardashian dumped
Thompson, with a source telling the gossip rag that "she has had enough." Thompson denied the reports in a since-deleted
tweet, while Woods went on Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table Talk series to share her side of
the story. Kardashian certainly wasn't convinced, taking
to her own Twitter to put Woods on full blast, writing, "Why are you lying @jordynwoods [...] BTW,
You ARE the reason my family broke up!" Talk about brutal. With Woods becoming Kardashian Enemy No. 1,
it all made for great TV. By September, the dust had settled, and the
former couple decided to keep things cordial for the sake of their daughter, True. Incredibly enough, by October, a source told
People the reality TV starlet had been "toying" with the idea of getting back together with
Thompson. Emma Roberts and Evan Peters' relationship
has had more twists and turns than a season of American Horror Story — a show which
sees the duo sharing the screen. The pair began dating in 2012, with things
seemingly going well until July 2013 — when the starlet was arrested for alleged domestic
abuse. In what turned out to be its own relationship
horror story, TMZ reported that Peters had a bloody nose and bite marks — enough reason
to haul Roberts away. Surprisingly enough, the actor didn't press
charges, and by July, he had instead proposed to her. Lo and behold, a year later, they called off
the engagement, but started dating yet again by August 2016. The following year, in September 2017, news
broke that another celeb couple, Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen, had called it quits. Things got super messy when a source dished
to Us Weekly that The O.C. actress reportedly found "inappropriate texts" between her beau
and Roberts, causing her to end things immediately. You'd think this would be the last straw for
Peters, yet, as an insider revealed to Us Weekly, he and Roberts were "very much together." The whole ordeal came to a close after another
engagement in March 2019, which saw Roberts dumping Peters one last time, and moving on
to her next man, Garrett Hedlund. Once Ariana Grande said "Thank U, Next" to
Pete Davidson, the general public wasn't necessarily kind — with the pop starlet's fans resorting
to online bullying. It got so bad, in fact, that even Grande herself
had to go on her Instagram story to defend her ex-beau. All was suddenly well at the start of the
New Year in 2019, however, with the tabs spotting the comedian flirting with Kate Beckinsale
at the Golden Globes. Only a few days later, the Underworld actress
was seen in attendance at Davidson's stand-up show, where he very tellingly confirmed the
two as a couple. After a month of the duo dating, even Grande
gave her seal of approval, telling TMZ that she thought the couple was "so cute" together. Beckinsale even took Davidson out to meet
the parents that March, clearly solidifying that the pair was moving fast — as Davidson
is known to do. Unfortunately for the comedian, by April,
his fling was over. It's probably due to her highly-publicized
relationship with Tom Cruise that Katie Holmes decided to keep things so under-the-radar
with Jamie Foxx for such a long time. The duo was rumored to be dating since 2013,
although they went kind of extreme to keep things private — even resorting to disguises
in public. "I don't know how Katie and Jamie can be happy,
unless they're, like, Teflon." Finally, in 2019, the Dawson's Creek alum
pulled the plug on her relationship. Perhaps it had something to do with the couple
being too private? As a source told Us Weekly, "They keep it private. [...] Jamie rarely has her over to his house
and they mostly hang out separately from their kids." Kind of bizarre, considering they were reportedly
together for six whole years. Foxx appeared to add insult to injury when
he moved on pretty quickly. According to the Daily Mail, the actor was
spotted dating Sela Vave — a singer who's only a few years older than his daughter. Yet another KarJenner-involved breakup makes
our list, except this one nobody wanted to happen — considering the two are absolutely
adorable parents together. Ever since Kylie Jenner surprised the world
by giving birth to her daughter, Stormi, with now-ex beau Travis Scott in 2018, they were
a total "It" couple. After having nearly their every move followed
since the birth of their little girl, the couple suddenly called it quits in October
2019. According to a source cited by TMZ, the pair
simply "fell out of love." As with most things related to the Kardashian-Jenner
clan, drama immediately followed the breakup, with fans noticing that the reality TV starlet
was spending time with her ex, Tyga. Jenner quickly shut down those rumors, however,
taking to Twitter to share her side of the story: "The internet makes everything 100 times more
dramatic than what it really is. There was no 2am date with Tyga. [...] Travis and i are on great terms and
our main focus right now is Stormi‼️ our friendship and our daughter is priority." Adele was never one for splashy relationships. Unless she's wearing her heart on her sleeve
while crooning post-breakup, the songstress has maintained a low profile when it comes
to her love life. Case in point? Nobody really knows when she started dating
her now ex-hubby, Simon Konecki. According to Today, the "Rumor Has It" singer
casually revealed to her audience at a concert in Brisbane in 2017 that she was a married
woman! Raising their son, Angelo, the couple flew
under the radar for years, with Adele maintaining that her family came first. However, as the Mirror pointed out, the British
starlet mentioned a very different creative process in 2011, saying, "When I'm happy, I ain't writing songs. […] If I ever get married, it'll be, 'Darling,
I need a divorce. […] I've got a record to write.'" Sure enough, the couple announced they'd filed
for divorce in April 2019. With fans already predicting her breakup album,
a source confirmed to the Mirror what we all expected: Adele's been writing new music. We'll sit pretty and await her next tear-jerking
hit. Much like her own talk show, Wendy Williams'
marriage to her hubby of over 20 years, Kevin Hunter, was as unfiltered as they come. Although her decision to dissolve the marriage
in April 2019 came as devastating news — were any of us really surprised? 2017 saw the couple's marital issues take
center stage when it was revealed that Hunter was allegedly having an affair. Miraculously enough, Williams maintained a
brave face, even telling her audience on The Wendy Williams Show that she stands by him. "I stand by my guy." In March 2019, Hunter's alleged mistress suddenly
gave birth. It looked like the news was the final nail
in the coffin. Williams eventually revealed on Andy Cohen's
SiriusXM show that she stayed with him for the sake of their son, saying, "I knew a lot of things for years. I'm not going to grab [my son's] hand and
flee the scene and move zip codes. You know, now he has to move high schools. [...] So now he's away in college, and the
person I am now is very single because he's not living with me." Of course, the divorce process was definitely
messy. According to documents obtained by Page Six,
Williams had to, quote, "pay Hunter $250,000 so that he can 'secure new living arrangements.'" Talk about rough. Check out one of our newest videos right here! Plus, even more Nicki Swift videos about your
