As Emma and Garrett approach co-parenting, the insider shared that they’re doing a great job and that when Garrett doesn’t have too many adult beverages, he’s a great guy and dad.

From feeling depleted to misunderstood, perhaps divorce is what each of these individuals needed in order to feel like themselves again.

Six years ago, when Taylor Swift and Joe Alwin started dating, it was immediately clear that they decided as a couple to have an intimate relationship that was private. Receding from paparazzi and instead using her platform as a way to promote her work, Taylor kept this love a secret.

They were on and off a couple of times after their relationship debuted, and the couple officially split in 2007 but tried to rekindle things in 2008. We’ll always dwell on what could’ve been an epic forever kind of romance, but at least we have The Notebook’s rain scene to dream about.

Although there were rumors of cheating in their relationship, after the breakup, Matthew went on the record saying that no cheating occurred. Relationships end, plain and simple, which is what happened between these two exes.

These two ex-lovebirds were on and off for so long that it feels like we were in the grit and goop of their breakup. Justin and Selena were a frequent topic in the media, and with as much wishy-washy coverage as there was during their relationship, no one ever really knew if they were on or off.

Just over one year after announcing their engagement, Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo announced their split. With opposite schedules and not being able to spend much time together, it was a natural drift with an amicable ending.

Marriage for two years wasn’t enough to keep this couple together… Or maybe two years was too much – that’s just the saddest thing! An inside source shared that Tyler used elements of their personal life in the reality show, Selling the OC. That was the final straw for Brittany.

They shared in a public statement that the mutual decision to split was made with love and respect and that they realized they needed space to ensure they were living their most full and authentic lives. They left things by asking for privacy and time to process. What a hard decision! Not only for them but for their dog too!

Let’s be honest, we were all obsessed to some degree with Zac and Vanessa’s romance. From a screenplay romance on High School Musical to a real-life romance behind the camera, these two had it all. It’s hard to tell where their acted romance stopped and the real one started.

After their breakup in 2015, it was revealed that Vanessa struggled with Zac’s attention from female fans. She also said the couple was no longer on speaking terms. This was an absolutely earth-shattering breakup for anyone alive during the mid-2000s.

The quiet ending to the Lauren-Peter relationship after a decade of being together was heartbreaking on so many levels. Neither Lauren nor Peter has commented on the finale of their relationship. We (and everyone else) are left wondering what happened between these two.

Simply put, because these two enjoyed spending time together just doing daily things, it wasn’t until later that some of their fundamental differences caught up to them. After sharing values and goals, the couple realized that they weren’t compatible in as many ways as they once thought.

This on-and-off again relationship seemed to start up just as quietly as it fizzled out. With small breadcrumbs of dating life together and a few steamy moments in between, these two kept their relationship far from flashy.

As Kendall and Devin are both incredibly busy and in a season of pursuing their careers first, this relationship ended quietly and without any hard feelings. No big fight, no big blow-up, just respectful feelings for one another and pursuing different goals at the moment.

This split still stings when you think about it. The couple met on-set during the filmmaking of Take Me Home Tonight when Anna Faris was still married to Ben Indra. When the two split, Pratt and Faris began dating, and the rest was history.

Chris Pratt shared that he knew they’d end up together in the end. Engaged in 2008, married in 2009, and parents by 2012, this couple had it all! Especially once Guardians of the Galaxy hit the scene, fans fell in love with this devoted, quirky couple. They shocked the world with their split in 2017, and no one really knows what happened.

Fans of Keeping Up With the Kardashians feel like they walked through Kourtney and Scott’s tumultuous relationship alongside them. Between alleged cheating, a battle with dependencies, and the passing of Scott’s parents, Kourtney and Scott were on and off a lot in their relationship.

The thing that always managed to bring them back together, however, was their children. The pair split back in 2015 but are still seen out and about together with their children.
