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.

    Speaking on Chante Moore and Kenny Lattimore: Chante also left/ divorced “Different World” actor Kadeem Hardison whom she had a child with, so it doesn’t even phase me that she ONCE again divorced someone else. I think honestly miss Chante just isn’t the type to stay down wit her man… So yes, Chante.. Someone will “take your man” if you don’t want him. LMBO!

    Well, life goes on.  Some things are meant to end.

    I normally don’t comment but this list sucked! I was surprised that Heidi & Seal, Chante & Kenny, and Nas & Kelis broke up. The others, not so much! With the age difference of Demi & Ashton I wasn’t surprised. JLo relationship track record speaks for itself. Really, you’re surprised Kobe & Vanessa didn’t last??? I was surprised they lasted 10 years!

    Marriage for non-celebrities are just as difficult and painful……..and the majority of the time without big money and distractions (groupies, media, getting old/fat).  It’s really tough for these people BECAUSE they go into it as a disposable business………meaning when they get tired of it, they get rid of it a lot quicker than regular working folks.

    Only someone who has never been married would be “surprised” or “shocked” when a marriage ends..I have been married for SEVEN years and it is HARD WORK, it requires a tremendous amount of patience and sacrifice.
     
    Bottom line even in the happiest of marriages where 2 people really like each other, there are still moments where each person is thinking “dang it, I could strangle so&so”.

    There should be more honest discussions before people get married about how tough it is to constantly consider the needs and wants of another person…..

    • Sassynhot

      YOU obviously know the runnings of being married.  It IS  hard work and there must be a lot of give and take or else.  A lot of these persons have never lived with anybody  to know the sacrifice involved in relationships so they can say anything.

    The only surprise for me was Chante Moore and Kenny Lattimore.

  • firstchick

    I knew that wasn’t gonna last cause dude was checking me out at the grocery store.

    Even though he’s not a celebrity, I was surprised when Jill Scott and her husband divorced. Just about every song on her first album was about him.

    most of these celebrity marriages aren’t worth the paper the certificate is printed on.

    • blackninela

       How many times have you been married and how long?

  • stephanie

    I’m just shocked, they were such a beautiful couple.

  • Tchanielle

    Ummm who thought that Ashton and Demi were going to be together for a lifetime…That boy is fine and I’m sure he wants little ones of his own. It was doomed from the start..ijs

  • Michelletabor

    So are you saying Kenny is Gay  with our comment “ how many of you ever thought that Chante (or any other woman for that matter) was Kenny’s type?”  I have heard it before.

  • Sexyniq28

    I was shocked by Kim and Kris lmmfao oh sorry I had to do it!

  • Sammilu1224

    Come on now with this list!  The only one that was maybe slightly shocking was Heidi and Seal..

  • Rachael

    *Wondering if Chante Moore will pen another song like “Just Bitter”.* It is sad to see them on this list because they seemed insanely in love.
    Am I the only one who wasn’t surprised about J.Lo and Marc Anthony???

    • Guest

      I know right. I saw Kenny and Chante perform at Bis Jakes’ church on Valentine’s Day.

    • blackninela

       The song is called “Bitter.”

  • CA Pullen

    Drenna, Drenna, you must couldn ‘t come up with anything else to write for MadameNoire.   Some of these people should even be considered a surprise.    I like to see you write a whole lot more about the celebs who somehow managed to keep their marriage together.  Real couple not some of this foolishenss off reality television.

     To learn to get along without, to realize that what
    the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important
    than what we are entitled to demand of it – this is a hard lesson.

  • Realer

    Chante stay getting divorced for someone who claims she “…got a man at home”. Kadeem, Kenny, to name a few.

    • JusSayin

       So they were married for nine years. That isn’t exactly short. Soooo? I’m confused..

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1019917022 Dollie Linton III

        It’s sad that some of us think 9 years is so long. My parents have been together for 42 years and my grandparents were together for almost 70 years so I guess they were together for a millennium. 

        • Sassynhot

          In today’s world that is an ETERNITY to be married to one person.  Now being married for even 5 years is a long time.  Marriage no longer lasts as long as parents and grandparents.  Just a sign of the times.

    • blackninela

       The song “Chante’s Got A Man” was written while she was married to Kadeem. What she supposed to do… throw a good song away??? The song was a #2 R&B hit and a top 10 Pop charts. Obviously you know song well. You could constantly criticize artist’s song on every album, but it doesn’t mean that particular song was current or about their lives. Example, Usher’s Confessions… he claims it wasn’t about him even though he tried to convince the public he and Chilli were together. So get off your high horse and sit yo butt down somewhere.

     A little tact and wise management may often evade
    resistance, and carry a point, where direct force might be in vain.

    Even though I know that Lisa Wu and Ed Hartwell aren’t necessarily celebrities, but reality stars, I was still taken aback with their divorce announcement.  They seemed all lovey dovey on RHOA and then… no more. 

    • ESHA

       Difficult times can undo that
