In 2007, Kerry Washington broke up with her fiancé of three years, David Moscow, whom she admits to having left in order to find herself – and her fame apparently. By the time Kerry dropped him, she had become widely recognized (and highly compensated) for her roles in award-winning movies like Ray and The Last King of Scotland.
Jennifer Lopez
In 1997, Jennifer Lopez married model Ojani Noa but divorced him right after the successful launch of her acting and music careers. Right after that she began dating Puff Daddy, and of course the rest is history.

Megan Fox
Before the pouty lips and Transformers movies, Megan Fox was just a struggling actress looking for a break. She lucked up in 2003 when she met and began dating 7th Heaven star David Gallagher who frequently brought her along to Hollywood parties and Lakers games. But though David is probably responsible for Megan’s come-up, she dumped him upon landing her first film role, then shacked up with Beverly Hills 90210 star Brian Austin Green shortly after.

Mo’Nique
Mo’Nique wasn’t always in a ridiculous-sounding open marriage with Sidney Hicks. While she was still just a comedienne on the come-up, she met and married Mark Davis Jackson, the father of her 23-year old son, but dumped him around the time her role as Nikki on The Parkers began garnering her big time fame.

Mila Kunis
Before becoming a fixture on the Maxim Hot 100 List, Mila Kunis was just the ditzy girl from That ’70s Show who dated co-star Danny Masterson. But upon scoring mainstream fame and eventually big time movie roles, Mila dumped Danny like a hot potato, ultimately opting for her more A-list co-star, Ashton Kutcher.

Nene Leakes
Ok, ok so Nene has now remarried Greg. But remember how quick she was to dump his behind just as soon as she landed that Glee acting gig and all those magazine covers? Very quick.
