00:00 I still love this person.
00:01 Yeah, I still love him.
00:02 There's no doubt in my mind.
00:03 Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:05 And today we're counting down our picks for the biggest celebrity split so far in 2024
00:10 that caught us completely off guard.
00:12 Um, you know, I think it's all about communication.
00:14 Number 10.
00:15 Portia Williams and Simon Gwabadia.
00:18 In May 2021, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star Portia Williams publicly announced her
00:24 relationship with Nigerian-born businessman Simon Gwabadia.
00:27 So, what are you thinking?
00:29 You don't seem like you're gonna look around this house anymore.
00:31 This revelation was particularly surprising as Gwabadia was the estranged husband of her
00:35 co-star Fallon Pina at the time.
00:37 Despite the controversy, the pair claimed to have found happiness in each other and
00:41 proceeded to tie the knot in a lavish two-day ceremony in November 2022.
00:46 Ever since they announced their engagement in May of 2021 after one month of dating,
00:50 Williams said she knew she wanted to honor Gwabadia's culture at their wedding.
00:54 But things between the two, it seems, were not meant to last.
00:58 In February 2024, just 15 months after their wedding, Williams filed for divorce from Gwabadia,
01:04 stating that their union was quote "irretrievably broken."
01:07 I love Portia and I know Portia.
01:09 Number 9.
01:10 Anderson .Paak and Jalyn Chang.
01:13 Throughout his career, Grammy-winning musician Anderson .Paak has largely kept his personal
01:17 life private.
01:18 I feel like some people are just built for more things than others.
01:21 And um...
01:22 Were you stronger than you thought you were?
01:23 Yeah, for sure.
01:25 In 2010, long before his rise to fame, Paak married gospel singer Jalyn Chang, whom he
01:30 met at a music school in Los Angeles, and welcomed two sons with her.
01:34 Chang, who is originally from South Korea, helped Paak connect more with his own Korean
01:38 heritage.
01:39 Hey, um, what's "Hongjibae"?
01:41 Hongjibae.
01:42 However, 2024 started on a difficult note for the family.
01:47 In January, Paak filed for divorce from Chang after 13 years of marriage, requesting joint
01:53 custody of their children.
01:54 Anderson Paak isn't wasting any time, just days after filing for divorce from his wife
01:59 of 13 years.
02:00 Since then, the divorce proceedings have been kept mostly private, with neither party making
02:05 any public statements about it.
02:07 Number 8.
02:08 Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Page.
02:11 Veteran TV host Ryan Seacrest went public with his relationship with model Aubrey Page
02:15 in May 2021.
02:16 I remember when Alfred came to Mark's birthday party.
02:20 Aubrey.
02:21 We can say Aubrey.
02:22 They were first seen together celebrating Memorial Day over in the Hamptons.
02:25 While they mostly kept things out of the public eye, Seacrest and Page still made occasional
02:30 public appearances together, and frequently gushed about each other on social media.
02:35 Alongside a series of PDA pics, the model writes, "Loving you has been the adventure
02:39 of a lifetime.
02:40 Cheers to many more laughs, sunrises, meals, and spontaneous adventures.
02:45 Blessed to have the honor of loving you."
02:47 After nearly three years together, the couple announced their split in April 2024.
02:52 However, according to a source close to them, they plan to remain friends and support each
02:57 other.
02:58 Seacrest will have a lot to distract him from the breakup, as he's set to take over hosting
03:02 Wheel of Fortune in September.
03:11 Number 7.
03:12 Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr.
03:14 After her high-profile relationship with comedian Pete Davidson ended in August 2022, Kim Kardashian
03:20 was rumored to be involved with multiple famous figures, including Tom Brady.
03:33 But the only relationship that seemed to have been confirmed was with NFL player Odell Beckham
03:38 Jr.
03:39 In September 2023, a source close to the pair revealed that they were seeing each other,
03:43 though it didn't seem serious.
03:45 These claims were further supported by their appearances at various events, where they
03:48 seemed to spend a lot of time together.
03:50 In February, it appeared that the pair turned the Super Bowl into a date night, as they
03:54 were spotted together in the lobby of Las Vegas' Wynn Hotel, one day before the big
03:59 game.
04:00 However, any potential spark between Kardashian and Beckham apparently fizzled out quickly.
04:04 By April 2024, the two were reported to have gone their separate ways.
04:09 I truly think someone is such a solid person when they have really grounded relationships.
04:14 Number 6.
04:15 Harry Styles and Taylor Russell
04:18 The relationship between singer Harry Styles and actress Taylor Russell began privately,
04:22 and pretty much ended the same way.
04:24 That's the singer out in London with the actress, holding hands while on a coffee run.
04:29 Rumors of a relationship between the two emerged in June 2023, after they were seen on a date
04:34 in London.
04:35 Although they never publicly acknowledged their relationship, Styles and Russell were
04:38 photographed together multiple times after.
04:48 Russell attended some of his tour dates in Austria and Italy, and Styles returned the
04:52 favor by showing up for her play The Effect in London.
04:56 However, after roughly one year, the couple decided to call it quits in May 2024.
05:04 According to a source, with Styles in America and Russell in London, long distance may have
05:09 played a role in their breakup.
05:11 Number 5.
05:12 Brian Abasolo and Rachel Lindsay
05:15 In 2017, Rachel Lindsay made history as the first African-American lead in The Bachelor
05:20 franchise when she starred in the 13th season of The Bachelorette.
05:29 The season ended with Lindsay saying yes to Brian Abasolo's proposal.
05:37 Two years later, they exchanged vows at a ceremony in Cancun, Mexico.
05:41 However, over time, their relationship appeared to grow strained, with Lindsay expressing
05:46 that they led "totally different lives."
05:49 They also faced challenges in starting a family.
05:51 All of these likely contributed to their announcement in January 2024 that they were getting divorced.
05:56 As one of the few success stories from The Bachelor franchise, this announcement came
06:01 as a surprise to many fans.
06:05 Number 4.
06:06 Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley
06:09 The love story between Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley began in 2003 when they met
06:13 as kids at an office party.
06:23 They didn't start dating until about a decade later, and in 2015, they welcomed their first
06:28 child together.
06:29 In March 2019, the couple exchanged vows in a ceremony that was attended by several high-profile
06:35 guests.
06:43 After spending five years together and welcoming another child, Chance and Corley decided to
06:48 part ways.
06:49 In April 2024, the couple announced their separation, asking fans for privacy and respect.
06:58 The announcement came nearly one year after speculation arose about marital troubles when
07:02 a video surfaced showing Chance dancing with another woman at his birthday party.
07:07 Number 3.
07:08 Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott
07:10 Actors Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott crossed paths while filming the 2005 Lifetime movie
07:15 Mind Over Murder.
07:23 Both were married to other people at the time, but they began an affair and left their respective
07:27 partners to be together.
07:29 Their marriage frequently made headlines, not only for financial troubles but also for
07:33 McDermott's infidelity in 2013.
07:40 Although the couple managed to work through those challenges, things reached a breaking
07:44 point in June 2023 during a heated argument.
07:47 Shortly after, McDermott announced their separation on his Instagram, ending their 18-year relationship.
07:56 In March 2024, Spelling officially filed for divorce and requested sole physical custody
08:02 of their five children.
08:04 Number 2.
08:05 Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson
08:08 The horrifying true story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard's upbringing, her subsequent trial, and release
08:13 from prison in 2023 have all thrust her into the public eye, particularly due to film and
08:18 television adaptations of her life.
08:30 In 2022, Blanchard and Anderson married as she served her sentence.
08:35 This was only two years after they had begun communicating via letters, and a year after
08:39 they had first met.
08:44 But only three months after she had been released, the two announced their split.
08:48 Blanchard announced the breakup on social media, stating that she needs to make some
08:52 time to work on herself.

09:14 Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher
09:15 They were once considered one of Hollywood's most enduring couples.
09:23 Hence it came as a shock to many when actors Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher announced
09:28 their decision to call it quits in April of 2024.
09:31 The couple first met back in 2001 at a party in Sydney, Australia, and formed an instant
09:36 connection.
09:43 They got engaged three years later, but didn't officially tie the knot until March 2010.
09:48 Their union seemed to wax stronger over the years, and produced three children.

09:56 to end their marriage in 2023, bringing an end to their over 20-year relationship.
