Last year saw several celebrity breakups that hit us hard. Michelle Williams and Phil Elverum ended their marriage. Lady Gaga and Christian Carino called off an engagement. Solange Knowles and Alan Ferguson split after five years. And Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth concluded a short marriage but a very long relationship.

Sadly for some of us who believe in celebrity love , the disappointments keep coming again in 2020. There’s too much trouble in paradise, or should we say ”CelebVille” and we can’t help but wonder why their relationships cannot be as perfect as their lifestyle.

Check out some of the most heartbreaking breakups we’ve witnessed this year below:

According to Us Weekly, Rihanna and her billionaire boyfriend of three years, Hassan Jameel, have ended their relationship. People later published a report claiming the pair broke up because “they were not a good match.” A source added to the outlet, “Their lives were too different and it was hard to maintain a relationship.” The two were first linked in June 2017, and RiRi kept much of their relationship out of the spotlight. She did, however, open up about Jameel last summer, telling Interview that “of course” she was in love.

Just two months after their surprise wedding, actor and producer Lena Waithe and her wife, movie exec Alana Mayo, have split. “After careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways,” they said in a joint statement to E! on January 22. “We have nothing but support for one another and ask that you respect our privacy during this time.”

Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler have reportedly broken up after almost nine years together. A source confirmed the news to Us Weekly, explaining that Hudgens only recently started sharing the breakup with people close to her. “Vanessa and Austin are officially broken up, and Vanessa has been telling those close to her about their breakup,” the insider said.

The Grammy Award-winning singer has officially filed for divorce from her husband, nearly five months after announcing their split on Sept. 12. The couple called it quits after over seven years together. Adele’s representative issued a statement in April: “Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.” The news of their marriage was confirmed by the singer in March 2017.

The model and the rapper are reportedly taking a break from their relationship after two years of dating, reported People on Oct. 3. Addressing her relationship with Travis on Twitter, Jenner wrote, “Travis and I are on great terms and our main focus right now is Stormi! Our friendship and our daughter is priority.” The couple started dating in April 2017 and are parents to daughter Stormi.

The “Arrow” star filed for divorce from husband on Jan. 8, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason, reported E! News. Cassidy and Rodgers tied the knot at Sunset Key, Florida, U.S., in December 2018.

The actors have parted ways after six years of dating, reported People on Aug. 19. Holmes and Foxx, who sparked romance rumors in 2013, made a major statement as they posed together during the 2019 Met Gala. The news of the couple’s split comes days after Foxx was spotted with singer Sela Vave in Los Angeles, California, U.S.

The couple, who wed in December 2018, split within a year of their marriage, reported People on Aug. 10. “Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time. Ever evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers,” a source told People. A few days after announcing separation, Hemsworth filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. They met in 2009 on the set of “The Last Song” and had an on-off relationship till 2012, when he proposed to her. The couple broke up a year later and reconciled in 2015.

The model and the Grammy Award-winning singer have decided to call it quits, E!News reported on Aug. 6. A source told the publication: “Bella and Abel [his real name] have split. They are in different places right now, physically and mentally.” They were in an on-and-off relationship since 2015.
