Didn’t You Think They’d Last? 7 Surprising Celebrity Breakups

April 11th, 2012 - By Drenna Armstrong

Even though celebrities and real-life acquaintances remind us every day that love (fifty percent of the time) doesn’t last forever, we’re still sad to see couples that we really love break up – especially ones that we believe would’ve made it for the long haul.  For one reason or another, these celeb breakups blindsided us!

Seal & Heidi Klum

I just…don’t know where “we” went wrong here, people.  Of course, not “we” literally but Seal and Heidi just seemed so good together. Yes, they gave us PDA and multiple wedding ceremonies but it was more than that; they just seemed so cool with each other. I still feel some kind of way that it is really over between them.

  • passingtime

  • Rosesister15

    no couple is Unbreakable!

  • Mystique

    Maybe Seal needs to find him a “sistah.”

  • Shortyspice

    Chante was divorced from Kadeem Hardison when she and Kenny started dating and eventually marrying.

    She’s better off!

  • unque43

    She had her divorce lawyer on speed dial day one. She waited the time she did for one reason and we see what that was. Wish them both good luck

  • unque43

    wasn’t she married to some other celebrity and divorced him to get with kenny? So no surprise here.

  • unque43

    Ashton and Demi no surprise there

  • unque43

    Nas and Kelis not a surprise

  • Jsmalls

    “Chante’s got a MAN at home” that was enough foreshadowing for me. Boast much?

  • KickWhitesOutAfrica

    Surprised?  HELL NO!  I don’t bank on ANY celebrity or
    non-celebrity interracial marriage lasting… especially amongst OUR
    people.  I abhor seeing one of our own
    with a foreigner because I know it is our own who is going to end up LOSING practically
    everything while the foreigner walks away unscathed from the illicit and
    therefore ill-fated union.  When these bizarre
    relationships breakdown – which they ALWAYS do, I feel no sympathy for the fool
    who sold out.

      You need to get a grip.

      • KickWhitesOutAfrica

        You need to grow a brain… you’ll need one if you
        wish to have an adult conversation.

    Sorry, I have to disagree with you about Vanessa Bryant.  I do not care how long you are married, there is nothing you do to “deserve” half (or in a lot of cases more then half) of something you had no hand in earning yourself.  Of course, the man should provide alimony to take care of his kids but woman of working age should and can work to provide for themselves.  That is what I will teach my daughters so they will strive to be more than a gold digger so they will have the dignity and wherewithal to take care of themselves without depending on a man to do it for them–and thus, will not tolerate bad behavior from any man hoping to be kept in comfort or hoping for a big payday at the end of it.  That way, the men they encounter will respect them and treat them with respect.  I actually respect prostitutes more than Vanessa Bryant and her ilk.  At least they are honest about who they are.

       well clearly the state of California disagrees with you lol

    • Ifuaskme2

      Typical hater. Kobe apparently WANTED to give her half because he did not think a prenup was necessary. There is no record of her hoeing around so why you mad? Try teaching your daughters what NOT to tolerate from men. and be sure to leave the section about respecting prostitutes out of the discussion. 

  • Chanda

    The reason why these breakups are “shocking” is because they lasted at least 5 years. That’s a long time in Hollyweird. Chante and Kenny, JLo and Marc, Heidi and Seal were the only ones that surprised me. And these aren’t first marriages for most of these celebs.
