00:00 "Yeah, y'all look like a cute couple."
00:01 "Thank you."
00:02 Welcome to Ms Mojo, and today we're looking at the most talked about
00:07 and notorious celeb divorces of all time.
00:11 "Did you have affairs with all of them?"
00:14 "I wouldn't believe everything you read in tabloids."
00:17 Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner
00:22 In 2023, the world of pop culture was shaken when news broke of Joe Jonas
00:28 and Sophie Turner's unexpected divorce.
00:31 The couple, who took their romance public in 2016, left fans shocked
00:36 when the Camp Rock star filed for divorce from the Game of Thrones actress.
00:41 "I won't leave you without her."
00:43 "You will."
00:44 Only a month prior, Turner had wished her soon-to-be ex-husband
00:48 a happy birthday on social media.
00:51 Things seemed to be fine for the couple back in August of 2023,
00:55 with the Game of Thrones alum posting a pic of her and Joe
00:58 wearing matching striped pajamas to celebrate his birthday.
01:02 From then on, rumors swirled about the cause of their breakup,
01:06 and it appeared the two were headed into a challenging custody battle
01:10 when Turner sued Jonas over claims that he was refusing to turn over their children's passports.
01:18 Later on, the two chose to keep things under wraps and handle their legal affairs in private.
01:24 "I said when I started acting that I would never date an actor,
01:27 and after I saw Camp Rock 2, I knew it was safe to date Joe."
01:30 Chris Humphries and Kim Kardashian
01:34 Married for a quick 72 days, Kim Kardashian's marriage to basketball star Chris Humphries
01:42 was as tumultuous as it was short.
01:45 "Who's not talking about this? I wish I had the answer."
01:48 The couple began dating in the fall of 2010.
01:51 Only a few months later, Humphries proposed to the reality TV titan,
01:56 and the two were wed in the summer of 2011.
02:00 "I take you to be my wedded husband."
02:02 "I take you to be my wedded husband."
02:04 "To have and to hold from this day forward."
02:07 "To have and to hold from this day forward."
02:09 "Till death do us part."
02:11 "Till death do us part."
02:12 Documented in her family's television show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians,
02:17 the pair was seen frequently disagreeing and arguing.
02:21 So, it wasn't a major shock when the Skims creator filed for divorce two months after their wedding.
02:28 "But I knew, like, honeymoon, it wasn't gonna work out."
02:31 Later, things got even uglier when the retired NBA player attempted to annul the union,
02:37 alleging fraud.
02:39 It took a long time, but the pair were eventually divorced in 2013.
02:44 Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner
02:48 Wedded for 18 years, the marriage of Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner
02:53 came to a close in 2023.
02:56 "Mr. Costner, is there any comment you'd like to give so far with Entertainment Tonight?"
03:00 Costner met Baumgartner while filming his 1996 romantic comedy Tin Cup.
03:07 However, the pair didn't start dating until 1998.
03:12 In 2004, they tied the knot in Aspen, Colorado, and went on to raise a family together.
03:19 In the spring of 2023, the handbag designer filed for divorce from the Yellowstone actor.
03:25 "Well, the whole world's a test, son. Don't ever let it trick you into thinking different."
03:29 Things became heated when she challenged their prenup,
03:33 and Costner requested she cover his legal fees.
03:36 In regard to child support, Baumgartner requested her ex pay $248,000 per month,
03:44 but eventually settled on a still-steep $63,209.
03:50 "We ask that his, Christine's, and their children's privacy be respected
03:56 as they navigate this difficult time."
03:58 John and Kate Gosselin
04:00 Long before their infamous split, John and Kate Gosselin had a lot working against them.
04:06 "You ready?"
04:07 "Yeah."
04:08 "Where are we going? Wake up."
04:10 "Mom, we're going."
04:11 From raising twins plus sex toplets to the pressures of living in the limelight,
04:17 their marriage understandably fell apart as the world watched on.
04:22 "We've been dealing a long time with this."
04:25 Over the course of the reality series John and Kate Plus 8,
04:29 it was clear that things were rocky for a long time.
04:33 Married for a decade, things collapsed in May of 2009.
04:37 "How will this change your day to day with the kids?"
04:40 "Well, I won't be here every day, obviously. I don't have a schedule.
04:46 And I'll miss them a lot."
04:49 At the time, rumours were running rampant that John had cheated, which he denied.
04:54 Even after their official divorce in late 2009, the pair talked negatively about one another in
05:01 the press, fueling fire to an already heated situation.
05:06 "Turn the page. New chapter."
05:07 Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales
05:12 One of the most highly profiled divorces in history, the dissolution of Prince Charles
05:18 and Diana, Princess of Wales' marriage continues to captivate the world nearly 30 years after the fact.
05:26 "But I do think that it was around that period.
05:29 And I think it was largely to do with Charles' onset of the real sort of midlife crisis."
05:39 Engaged in 1981, the pair wed a few months later in a royal wedding,
05:45 which was televised and watched by 750 million people across the world.
05:52 "Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honour and keep him in sickness and in health,
05:57 and forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as you both shall live?"
06:06 After over a decade of marriage and raising their two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry,
06:12 the couple separated. A couple of years later, Charles confirmed he cheated on Diana
06:18 with his future wife Camilla Parker Bowles. Officially divorced in 1996, their marriage
06:25 has been dissected in interviews, documentaries, films, and most famously, the Netflix series
06:32 The Crown.
06:33 "Why would I care about her?"
06:35 "Because I care about her!"
06:36 Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver
06:39 Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver's marriage came apart in the early 2010s.
06:45 Their relationship spanned decades, which saw Schwarzenegger go from one of Hollywood's biggest
06:51 action stars to governor of California.
06:55 "What's your favourite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie?"
06:57 "True Lies."
07:00 However, the union couldn't endure the fallout of Schwarzenegger's extra-marital affair.
07:06 Shortly after they separated in May of 2011, it was revealed that not only did the Terminator
07:12 actor cheat, he also fathered a child with one of the couple's housekeepers.
07:18 "He was born about a week after Christopher Schwarzenegger,
07:22 Schwarzenegger's youngest child with Maria Shriver."
07:24 Ten years after filing for divorce, the couple finalized their things in 2021.
07:31 "When you look at the whole thing, it was just so horrible,
07:34 what it did to the kids and what it did to my wife."
07:38 Despite it all, the former spouses appear to be on good terms, frequently reuniting
07:44 to celebrate family occasions such as birthdays and graduations.
07:48 Jesse James and Sandra Bullock
07:51 As one of the biggest celeb divorces of the 2010s, Sandra Bullock and Jesse James' split
07:57 plagued tabloid and media outlets for months.
08:01 "The headlines say, 'Most Hated Man in America.'"
08:04 "I think it's the most hated man in the world now."
08:07 The Miss Congeniality Actress and Mechanic-Turned-Reality-TV-Personality met in 2003.
08:14 James pursued Bullock, who eventually fell for the Monster Garage star.
08:19 A couple of years later, they wed.
08:21 "I've learned how a transmission works, I've learned how to weld,
08:24 I do the manly stuff around the house while he rests."
08:28 However, in 2010, shortly after winning her first Oscar for The Blind Side,
08:35 Bullock's special moment was soured.
08:38 Reports of James' multiple affairs became public, and the situation was so extreme
08:44 that he enrolled in a rehab program to seek help for compulsive sexual behavior.
08:50 That being said, the damage was already done, and the couple was divorced months later.
08:56 "Everything that happened in our marriage and everything that I said,
08:58 and every good moment for her and for me and for the kids, none of it was bulls**t.
09:05 It was all real."
09:06 Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston
09:09 At one time, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were Hollywood's golden couple.
09:15 "Marriage is an interesting process, ongoing, isn't it?"
09:19 "It's phenomenal."
09:19 "Yeah."
09:20 "It's phenomenal."
09:21 Two of the most famous faces on the planet,
09:24 it was a no-brainer that they would make the picture-perfect couple.
09:28 Set up by their management teams,
09:30 sparks flew between the Friends actress and the Interview With a Vampire actor.
09:36 "Typical!"
09:36 "I'm sorry, what?"
09:40 "I said it was typical. Typical of you, Rachel Green,
09:43 Queen Rachel does whatever she wants in the little Rachel land."
09:48 Married only a couple of years later, they tied the knot and celebrated with a star-studded
09:54 and reportedly million-dollar Malibu wedding.
09:57 Sadly, almost five years after the lavish occasion, they announced their divorce.
10:03 "I think she's still sad as you would be six months after
10:06 ending a seven-year relationship, but hopeful."
10:11 The world was shocked by the news, and the press had a field day speculating about a rumored affair
10:18 between Pitt and his Mr and Mrs Smith co-star and future wife, Angelina Jolie.
10:24 "You want it? It's yours."
10:28 Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
10:32 It was a marriage so nice, they did it twice.
10:35 Well, perhaps "nice" isn't the right word to describe this
10:39 sorried love story of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
10:43 "Everything that I shall ever want to hold or look upon or have or be is here now with you."
10:49 "I must not be sorry for myself."
10:53 While filming the historical epic Cleopatra in 1962, the movie's stars began an affair,
11:00 despite the fact that both parties were married to other people.
11:04 In 1964, they left their marriages to say "I do" to each other.
11:09 The rose-coloured glasses came off rather quickly, and it was no secret that their
11:14 marriage was toxic due to drinking and arguments that made headlines.
11:19 "I think having a fight, an out and out, outrageous,
11:23 ridiculous fight, is one of the greatest exercises in marital togetherness."
11:31 They divorced in 1974 after making 11 films together.
11:36 However, they came back together and married a year later in 1975.
11:43 Things fizzled out shortly thereafter for the final time.

12:09 Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
12:14 Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's volatile relationship played out like a soap opera
12:19 in front of the entire world in 2022.
12:23 "By the time Johnny Depp and Amber Heard fronted up to court in the US in April this year,
12:28 they'd been at war far longer than they'd been in love."
12:33 The exes, who met while filming The Rum Diary, married in 2015.
12:38 But things took a nasty turn in 2016 when Depp filed for divorce.
12:44 "On the day of her filing,
12:46 Johnny attended the Alice Through the Looking Glass premiere alone, looking withdrawn."
12:51 Although the divorce was finalized in 2017, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor later sued
12:58 the Aquaman star for defamation over a piece she wrote for The Washington Post,
13:04 where she claimed her ex was abusive.
13:07 "I would, I actually wasn't thinking of leaving yet, but that would later be going through my
13:13 mind."
13:14 Depp disagreed, claiming Heard was the aggressor.
13:18 "I can't say that I'm embarrassed because I know that I'm doing the right thing."
13:22 The world was glued to the court proceedings, which revealed just how toxic both parties were
13:28 toward one another.
13:29 Depp eventually won his case, but there's no happy outcome for this incredibly sad situation.
13:37 Which one of these divorces do you think is the most infamous? Let us know in the comments.
13:43 "Channing Tatum is dishing about his not-so-magic relationship with ex-wife Jenna Dewan."
