Why are so many celebrity couples breaking up?

We don’t want to get dramatic, but 2023 is making us lose faith in love: many celebrity couples we thought were consolidated are breaking up.

If Shakira and Piqué‘s controversial breakup was the most talked about of 2022, Rosalía and Rauw’s has been the one of 2023, leaving us with the best reactions on social networks- . Although many have stopped believing in love after learning about this breakup, wait because there are some more that have surprised us as Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez, Dominic Fike and Hunter Schafer, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, Britney Spears and Sam Ashgari, Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone and much more.

Breakup expert and founder of Renew Breakup Bootcamp, Amy Chan, has some theories as to why there have been so many breakups this past season. “The time period leading up to the holidays can see a spike in breakups. Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas involve a lot of family and social gatherings,” which can trigger underlying thoughts that were once ignored.

For celebrities, there is an added strain on the relationship because of their lifestyle, Chan reports. “When it comes to celebrity breakups, it’s important to remember that these people are often productised, branded and sold.” No matter how much you love your partner, “there are downsides” for celebrities “as they can feel an external pressure and sense of living for the audience that can affect the dynamics of the relationship”.

Chan also suspects that the avoidance of attachment is causing many break-ups. Identifying the different types of attachment has been a recurring theme in recent years. According to Chan, this translates into being more alert “to someone getting too close, smothering you, controlling you or taking away your freedom and autonomy…. This style of attachment can wreak havoc on relationship satisfaction, leading to more break-ups and divorces”.

Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro

The most iconic artist couple of the moment put an end to their relationship. Sources from their entourage assured that both agreed to end their engagement despite the love and respect that existed between them.

Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman

“They were very much in love, but the relationship eventually ran its own course and they decided to call it quits,” a source said of their break-up, calling it “amicable”.

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gómez

They were already in crisis when she moved to London (for work reasons, of course), but the distance made things even more complicated. A relationship as discreet as the break-up, about which neither of them have spoken out.

Dominic Fike and Hunter Schafer

The reasons for the break-up of this couple who met through the series Euphoria are not known, but recently in an interview Dominic File spoke of Hunter as a past relationship.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott

They called it quits in 2019 after the birth of their daughter Stormi and resumed their relationship in 2020. In 2022 their second child was born and, once again, they put an end to the relationship. Will it be the definitive one? We think so because the businesswoman has already made public her new relationship with actor Timothée Chalamet.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner

Joe Jonas filed for divorce from Sophie Turner this year after four years of marriage.

Tini Stoessel and Rodrigo de Paul

They were together for a year and a half but in the end it didn’t work out. The reason? The distance that separates them (he lives in Spain and she travels all over the world with her world tours).

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari

Only a year after their marriage, their cohabitation deteriorated to such an extent that Asghari decided to file for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied

They were one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples, but after 11 years of marriage they separated. In June, images of him with another girl were made public and due to the infidelity Portman put an end to the relationship.

Becky G and Sebastian Lletget

They had wedding plans, but did not make it to the altar because he was unfaithful. They were together for six years.

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn

And, unsurprisingly, the British actor also has a song dedicated to him, ‘All The Girls You Loved Before’. The reasons are unknown but there were rumours that they were engaged.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone

It seems that the actor’s curse continues. After five years with the model, when she turned 25 they ended their relationship.
