After eleven years of marriage, Gwyneth and Chris Martin’s decision to split has left not just die hard fans in shock, but HollyWord, too! Is love even real? Since this devastating separation, one can only wonder. So, the question on the table is: what other celebrity couples have called a quits this year?
GWYNETH PALTROW AND CHRIS MARTIN- Front man for the band, ColdPlay, and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, decided mutually that it was time to end their eleven year marriage on March 25. They publicly announced it via Paltrow’s website, Goop. The pair decided to split shortly after purchasing a $14 million John Lautner-designed home in Malibu, California. The two are asking for privacy at this time in order to cope as a family, but we all know celebrities are never granted that privilege. Stalking just comes with the territory!
KHLOE AND LAMAR- Khloe and Lamar officially split in December 2013, but the drama has only begun. After four years of marriage, Khloe knew she had to file the papers, since Lamar has been on and off some hardcore drugs for a few years now. Following the divorce, Khloe has been filmed on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” talking about her relationship and how it all fell apart. Who else was betting Kourtney and Scott would end it before the seemingly perfect, Khloe and Lamar? Hey, she may have ended it after four years, but that’s a lot longer than Kris and Kim’s infamous 72-day marriage.
JOHN MAYER AND KATY PERRY- The adorable HollyWood couple ended their relationship abruptly the week after Valentine’s Day. The two dueted on the hit single “Who You Love” which appeared on John Mayer’s album in August 2013. The lyrics — “You can’t make yourself stop dreaming who you’re dreaming of” — can only mean one of them had a nightmare! When sources saw workers loading boxes into a move away truck in front of Perry’s house, it was clear that they split. The Who You Love video, featuring John and Katy, just recently hit 16 million views on YouTube. They aren’t the only ones feeling nostalgic!
HILARY DUFF AND MIKE COMRIE- Hilary and Mike mutually decided it was time to end their relationship, and they told the world in January — promising they will surely remain friends. With their two year old son, Luca, the family has been spotted on the streets of Los Angeles as a family. We can’t imagine a divorce being what Hilary’s dreams are made of, but maybe her everlasting love for Gordo is what caused this after all.
ROBIN THICKE AND PAULA PATTON-The question is, does anyone even care? Robin Thicke is a known cheater, so it’s about time they end it. After seeing him perform on the VMA stage with Miley Cyrus, America could only wonder why he even had a wife. Sorry, Robin, but twerking on stage with Hannah Montana isn’t exactly in the book of vows. Paula Patton broke it off with the “Blurred Lines” singer after nine years. Paparazzi pictures have been seen of Thicke smiling on the streets. Why so happy, Robin?
