00:00Oh my god, this is, this is not right, you know?
00:03You said I can't be with him.
00:04Yeah, yeah.
00:05Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:07And today we're counting down our picks for the most unexpected celebrity breakups of 2024
00:12that left us all stunned.
00:14Wait, what? What happened?
00:17Wow.
00:20Number 20.
00:21Zach Bryan and Brianna Chicken Fry LaPaglia.
00:24Shortly after country music star Bryan and BFF's podcast host LaPaglia met in May 2023
00:29at the Academy of Country Music Awards, the singer split with his partner.
00:33A couple of months later, the duo began officially dating.
00:36However, in October 2024, Bryan posted on Instagram stories that he had decided to end
00:42it with LaPaglia.
00:43She did not expect the announcement and was reportedly blocked by Bryan on social media.
00:48I just get the, I can't do this anymore.
00:51I need you.
00:52And it was like, like, what?
00:57We, what?
01:00Where is this coming from?
01:01A month later, the podcaster and her friends released a diss track against Bryan.
01:06However, his team moved quickly to scrub its existence.
01:09Soon after, she went public with accusations that she sustained abuse from the musician.
01:14LaPaglia stated that she was offered $12 million by Bryan's team to sign an NDA.
01:19I didn't take the money because I'm not signing away my experiences and what I went through
01:24to protect someone that hurt me.
01:26And I'm a lot stronger than a weak man.
01:29Number 19.
01:30Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Page
01:33Veteran TV host Ryan Seacrest went public with his relationship with model Aubrey Page
01:37in May 2021.
01:39I remember when Alfred came to Mark's birthday party.
01:42Aubrey.
01:43We can say Aubrey.
01:44The two were first seen together celebrating Memorial Day over in the Hamptons.
01:48While they mostly kept things out of the public eye, Seacrest and Page still made
01:52occasional public appearances together, and frequently gushed about each other on social
01:56media.
01:57Alongside a series of PDA pics, the model writes,
02:00Loving you has been the adventure of a lifetime.
02:02Cheers to many more laughs, sunrises, meals, and spontaneous adventures.
02:07Blessed to have the honor of loving you.
02:09After nearly three years together, the couple announced their split in April 2024.
02:14However, according to a source close to them, they plan to remain friends and support each
02:19other.
02:20Seacrest has had a lot to distract him from the breakup, as he took over hosting Wheel
02:24of Fortune from Pat Sajak in September.
02:26The game works.
02:29All you want to do is walk in and say, good evening, grab your devices, and here's the
02:32first puzzle.
02:33Number 18.
02:34Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr.
02:37After her high-profile relationship with comedian Pete Davidson ended in August 2022,
02:42Kim Kardashian was rumored to be involved with multiple famous figures, including Tom
02:47Brady.
02:47Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were,
02:52and I'd never say if we did or not.
02:54I just released the tape.
02:56But the only relationship that seemed to have been confirmed was with NFL player Odell Beckham
03:01Jr.
03:01In September 2023, a source close to the pair revealed that they were seeing each other,
03:06though it didn't seem serious.
03:07These claims were further supported by their appearances at various events, where they
03:11seemed to spend a lot of time together.
03:13In February, it appeared that the pair turned the Super Bowl into a date night, as they
03:17were spotted together in the lobby of Las Vegas' Wynn Hotel, one day before the big
03:22game.
03:22However, any potential spark between Kardashian and Beckham apparently fizzled out quickly.
03:27By April 2024, the two were reported to have gone their separate ways.
03:32I truly think someone is such a solid person when they have really grounded relationships.
03:37Number 17.
03:38Andrew Garfield and Kate Thomas.
03:40While he typically likes to keep his private life, well, private, in April 2024, Andrew
03:46Garfield accidentally gave the world a peek behind the curtain.
03:49I'm not sure if there's any, like, mistruths out there.
03:52I try not to worry about that.
03:53There's no records that I need to set straight in this moment.
03:56I feel quite seen.
03:58The actor was spotted holding hands with Dr. Kate Thomas, a spiritual advisor, as they
04:02double dated with Bo Burnham and Phoebe Bridgers in Malibu, California.
04:06The couple was spotted publicly together several times, including during the tennis
04:10tournament Wimbledon.
04:11However, in October 2024, Thomas confirmed on Instagram that they had broken up months
04:17before.
04:18Days after this announcement, it was confirmed that Garfield was set to appear on Chicken
04:22Shop Date, hosted by Emilia de Moldenberg.
04:25For years, fans have been shipping the two after they demonstrated their sky-high chemistry
04:30during interviews.
04:31We'll have to wait and see if anything more develops.
04:33You have my number.
04:35Do I?
04:36Yes, you asked for my number at party.
04:39I did.
04:41I feel like this is just, like, should be a practice round.
04:44I think we should do it again, actually, and better.
04:49In January 2022, Bailey and DDG set the internet ablaze with rumors after they were spotted
04:55being cozy at an Usher concert.
04:57A couple of months later, they went social media official.
05:00Their love for each other was clear to see when the actor was featured in the rapper's
05:04music video for If I Want You.
05:07However, speculation of infidelity regularly plagued the relationship.
05:16In January 2024, the couple went public with the birth of their son, Halo.
05:20Yet by October, the duo announced their split, clarifying they'll remain best friends.
05:26While the former couple have had disagreements, such as Bailey disliking DDG taking their
05:30son on Kysonat's stream, the rapper has stated he wants another baby with his ex.
05:35And so you're working on your second one now, right?
05:38No, not right now.
05:40That was a trap.
05:41Number 15.
05:42Ellie Goulding and Casper Jopling
05:52As fairytale marriages go, they don't come much more realistic than these two.
05:57After announcing their engagement in 2018, musician Goulding and art dealer Jopling
06:02had their nuptials at York Minster in York, England, filled with famous guests, including
06:07members of the country's royal family.
06:09In 2021, their family grew after the birth of their son, Arthur.
06:13However, by 2023, their relationship began to struggle as they spent time apart before
06:18reconciling to remain a family unit.
06:21In February 2024, Goulding announced on Instagram Stories that she and Jopling had split up
06:26and had been separated for a while.
06:28In the weeks after, Goulding referenced her sadness about the relationship's collapse
06:32before enjoying a brief fling with a surfer.
06:44Number 14.
06:45Martine McCutcheon and Jack McManus
06:48After making her name on the UK soap opera EastEnders, McCutcheon balances a music career
06:53and acting on top of becoming a part of a lot of people's Christmas tradition with her
06:56work in 2003's Love Actually.
06:58And this is Natalie, who's my, um, who's my, um, catering manager.
07:04Hi.
07:05Catering manager.
07:06Watch out, he keeps his hands off you.
07:08Twenty years ago, you'd have been just his type.
07:10I'll be very careful.
07:11Don't try something, sir, just because it's Christmas.
07:13In 2009, she began dating musician McManus.
07:17By 2012, they had tied the knot and celebrated the birth of their son, Rafferty, in 2015.
07:23McCutcheon has spoken about marriage being hard work, but the couple still renewed their
07:27vows in 2022.
07:29However, in August 2024, McCutcheon announced that she and McManus had broken up, and seemingly,
07:35the decision was not mutual.
07:37Via Instagram, the actor mentioned it was her husband's decision to end things.
07:41According to reports, the announcement even took McManus' family by surprise.
07:46Like if you set your heart on tic-tac, cause you're too far gone, this time you're gonna-
07:54Number 13.
07:55Leah Remini and Angelo Pagan
07:57This acting couple has been through a lot.
08:00From meeting in 1996 to getting married in 2003 while still involved in Scientology,
08:05having a daughter in 2004, to all of them escaping the group in 2013 and dealing with the fallout.
08:10Remini and Pagan even opened up their lives for reality shows, documentaries, and memoirs.
08:16Supporting each other through the chaos.
08:18Do what you do, baby. Drive people crazy. Give them hell.
08:22Another big change was their daughter Sophia moving back to college in the early 2020s.
08:27However, in August 2024, the duo announced on social media that due to growing apart
08:33and finding themselves, quote,
08:34"...playing roles," they were splitting up after 28 years together.
08:38In October, they finalized their uncontested divorce,
08:42drawing a line in the sand of their epic romance.
08:44You're just never prepared for it.
08:46I wanted to wait a minute and see what I wanted to do,
08:50and I wanted to do something different.
08:51Number 12.
08:52Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott
08:54Actors Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott crossed paths while filming the 2005
08:59Lifetime movie Mind Over Murder.
09:01I thought you went home.
09:04After my kiss.
09:06Both were married to other people at the time,
09:08but they began an affair and left their respective partners to be together.
09:11Their marriage frequently made headlines,
09:14not only for financial troubles, but also for McDermott's infidelity in 2013.
09:19What do I need to do?
09:22Do something right.
09:23Although the couple managed to work through those challenges,
09:26things reached a breaking point in June 2023 during a heated argument.
09:30Shortly after, McDermott announced their separation on his Instagram,
09:34ending their 18-year relationship.
09:36E.T. obtained the court docs, which lists irreconcilable differences.
09:39In March 2024, Spelling officially filed for divorce
09:43and requested sole physical custody of their five children.
09:47Number 11.
09:48Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson
09:50The horrifying true story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard's upbringing,
09:54her subsequent trial, and release from prison in 2023 have all thrust her into the public eye,
09:59particularly due to film and television adaptations of her life.
10:03What was your mindset under your mother's control?
10:07Um, you know, my mindset was very, um, very submissive. I always wanted to please my mom.
10:13In 2022, Blanchard and Anderson married as she served her sentence. This was only two years
10:19after they had begun communicating via letters, and a year after they had first met.
10:23I am amazed every day that I'm with this woman right here.
10:27But only three months after she had been released, the two announced their split.
10:31Blanchard announced the breakup on social media,
10:33stating that she needs to make some time to work on herself.
10:36Right now I need time to let myself find who I am.
10:40One month after the announcement of her split with Anderson,
10:43news broke of Blanchard getting back together with Ken Urker.
10:46The two are expecting a child in January 2025.
10:49Number 10.
10:50Portia Williams and Simon Gwabadia
10:53In May 2021, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star Portia Williams publicly
10:58announced her relationship with Nigerian-born businessman Simon Gwabadia.
11:02So, what are you thinking?
11:03You don't seem like you're gonna look around this house anymore.
11:05This revelation was particularly surprising,
11:08as Gwabadia was the estranged husband of her co-star Fallon Pina at the time.
11:12Despite the controversy, the pair claimed to have found happiness in each other,
11:16and proceeded to tie the knot in a lavish two-day ceremony in November 2022.
11:21Ever since they announced their engagement in May of 2021 after one month of dating,
11:25Williams said she knew she wanted to honor Gwabadia's culture at their wedding.
11:29But things between the two, it seems, were not meant to last.
11:32In February 2024, just 15 months after their wedding,
11:36Williams filed for divorce from Gwabadia,
11:39stating that their union was, quote,
11:40"...irretrievably broken."
11:42I love Portia and I know Portia.
11:44Number 9.
11:44Anderson .Paak and Jalyn Chang
11:47Throughout his career, Grammy-winning musician Anderson .Paak
11:50has largely kept his personal life private.
11:52I feel like some people are just built for more things than others.
11:56Were you stronger than you thought you were?
11:58Yeah, for sure.
11:59In 2010, long before his rise to fame,
12:02Paak married gospel singer Jalyn Chang,
12:04whom he met at a music school in Los Angeles and welcomed two sons with her.
12:09Chang, who is originally from South Korea,
12:11helped Paak connect more with his own Korean heritage.
12:14However, 2024 started on a difficult note for the family.
12:18In January, Paak filed for divorce from Chang after 13 years of marriage,
12:22requesting joint custody of their children.
12:25Anderson .Paak isn't wasting any time,
12:27just days after filing for divorce from his wife of 13 years.
12:31Since then, the divorce proceedings have been kept mostly private,
12:34with neither party making any public statements about it.
12:37Number 8.
12:38Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson
12:40Amid his divorce, the former NFL player met singer and actor Simpson,
12:44and the two began dating in 2010.
12:47Within a few months, they announced their engagement,
12:49eventually tying the knot in 2014.
12:52Marriage has changed us in a lot of ways.
12:55In what ways?
12:57I just think we're a little bit more addicted to each other.
13:00There's nothing wrong with that.
13:01No, I mean, I just think that there is like a level of love that has just,
13:06it's just reached the highest of highs.
13:09During their 14-year relationship,
13:10the icing on the cake was having three children together.
13:13However, in November 2024, rumors began to swirl that the once-happy couple
13:18was going their separate ways.
13:19Reports claimed they were living separate lives and had contacted divorce lawyers.
13:24Adding fuel to the speculation fire was Johnson being photographed without his wedding ring.
13:28Simpson's sister Ashley was asked about the rumors,
13:31only to seemingly reject them.
13:33As of mid-November 2024,
13:35neither Simpson nor Johnson has confirmed their split.
13:38Because normally I would ask people,
13:39it was hard to share personal stories,
13:41but I feel like we might be similar and it's almost cathartic.
13:44You're such a, you have no filter.
13:45I have no filter.
13:47I don't either.
13:47I've never had a filter.
13:49Number 7.
13:50Cardi B and Offset
13:51There's a lot of drama between you and your beautiful wife, Cardi B.
13:57Let's talk about some music.
13:59There might not be a more turbulent celeb relationship than these two.
14:03However, after everything they've been through and remain together,
14:06their end still surprised many.
14:08After beginning dating and getting engaged in 2017,
14:12then announcing their first pregnancy the next year,
14:14it was discovered Cardi B and Offset had secretly married the same year they got engaged.
14:19In 2020, the rapping relationship hit the rocks when Cardi B filed for divorce,
14:24adding there were, quote,
14:25prospects for a reconciliation.
14:27A month later, they were back together.
14:29In December 2023, Cardi B announced via Instagram that the two had split up.
14:34However, as the duo continued working together,
14:37there was a belief they were still together.
14:39In July 2024, as well as announcing their third pregnancy,
14:44Cardi B also filed for divorce from Offset.
14:47I'm too much woman for you.
14:48You know what I'm saying?
14:49I'm too much of a boss bitch for you.
14:51And I always been too good for you.
14:53Number 6.
14:54Harry Styles and Taylor Russell.
14:56The relationship between singer Harry Styles and actress Taylor Russell
15:00began privately and pretty much ended the same way.
15:03That's the singer out in London with the actress,
15:05holding hands while on a coffee run.
15:07Rumors of a relationship between the two emerged in June 2023
15:11after they were seen on a date in London.
15:13Although they never publicly acknowledged their relationship,
15:16Styles and Russell were photographed together multiple times after.
15:19You want a date normally, but then you also want to protect it so that it can be normal.
15:26Russell attended some of his tour dates in Austria and Italy,
15:29and Styles returned the favor by showing up for her play The Effect in London.
15:33I feel like I'm learning so much every single day.
15:37However, after roughly one year, the couple decided to call it quits in May 2024.
15:43According to a source, with Styles in America and Russell in London,
15:47long distance may have played a role in their breakup.
15:50Number 5.
15:51Brian Abasolo and Rachel Lindsay.
15:53In 2017, Rachel Lindsay made history as the first African-American lead
15:58in The Bachelor franchise when she starred in the 13th season of The Bachelorette.
16:03So today has been fun, but I know you guys didn't think
16:06that was all we were going to do today, right?
16:07The season ended with Lindsay saying yes to Brian Abasolo's proposal.
16:11You are everything I could ever want in a woman.
16:15Two years later, they exchanged vows at a ceremony in Cancun, Mexico.
16:19However, over time, their relationship appeared to grow strained,
16:23with Lindsay expressing that they led, quote, totally different lives.
16:27They also faced challenges in starting a family.
16:30All of these likely contributed to their announcement in January 2024
16:34that they were getting divorced.
16:35As one of the few success stories from The Bachelor franchise,
16:38this announcement came as a surprise to many fans.
16:44Number 4.
16:45Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley
16:47The love story between Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley began in 2003
16:51when they met as kids at an office party.
16:54And they were doing a Destiny's Child dance, and I saw her and I was like,
17:01I like what I see.
17:02They didn't start dating until about a decade later,
17:04and in 2015, they welcomed their first child together.
17:08In March 2019, the couple exchanged vows in a ceremony
17:12that was attended by several high-profile guests.
17:15Yeah, we've been married since March 9th.
17:17Sorry, we got married last year in December.
17:20We had our wedding March 9th.
17:22After spending five years together and welcoming another child,
17:25Chance and Corley decided to part ways.
17:27In April 2024, the couple announced their separation,
17:31asking fans for privacy and respect.
17:33Heard already, Chance the Rapper and his wife Kirsten Corley are calling it quits.
17:37The announcement came nearly one year after speculation arose about marital troubles
17:41when a video surfaced showing Chance dancing with another woman at his birthday party.
17:46Number three, Channing Tatum and Zoey Kravitz.
17:49In early 2021, shortly after filing for divorce from Karl Glussman,
17:53rumors began to emerge that Kravitz and Tatum were seeing each other.
17:57That speculation grew after Tatum was cast in Kravitz's directorial debut for Blink Twice,
18:02followed by them being seen together in public and for events.
18:05Just for, you know, it's not every day that a woman has her fiancé.
18:12We ain't doing that today. That's not what's happening.
18:15Get this off of me. I don't know how to get out of this.
18:18It wasn't until 2022 that the acting powerhouse couple publicly confirmed their relationship.
18:23In 2023, after Kravitz was spotted wearing a ring at Kendall Jenner's Halloween party,
18:28it was confirmed they had gotten engaged.
18:31However, a couple of months after attending the U.S. premiere of their film together,
18:35reports came out that Tatum and Kravitz had broken up.
18:38I'm just like, huh? Like, what?
18:43I mean, I think just completely ignoring them is the best thing.
18:47Number 2. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
18:50After working together on the 2003 film Gigli, romance brewed between the two,
18:55leading to them getting engaged and becoming one of the most famous celebrity couples around.
19:00However, the massive amount of publicity contributed to them splitting in 2004.
19:05I really felt like, you know, I had found somebody great,
19:08and he had found somebody great, and we thought we could make it work,
19:11and it was like outside things really played into that relationship in a way
19:15that I could have never expected.
19:17While Affleck married Jennifer Garner and Lopez did the same with Marc Anthony,
19:20they both got divorced in 2018 and 2014, respectively.
19:25In 2021, Bennifer Shippers celebrated when it was reported that the singer-slash-actress
19:30and actor were dating again. The following year, after announcing their engagement,
19:35they finally got married. However, in 2024,
19:38rumors about the demise of Bennifer took the internet by storm.
19:42In August, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck,
19:45seemingly putting to bed their decades-long connection for good.
19:48Yeah, and of course, things have been going on for a while. I just wasn't ready to
19:54deal with the fact that it could be over. You know, I didn't want — that was like
19:58the worst thing in the world for me, the one thing that I would never have wanted to happen.

20:26Hence, it came as a shock to many when actors Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher announced
20:34their decision to call it quits in April of 2024. The couple first met back in 2001
20:39at a party in Sydney, Australia, and formed an instant connection.
