Breakups are hard no matter who they happen to. And while I truly empathize with each and every one of the following celebrities, let’s admit it…we all love a juicy breakup story…the how’s, the when’s, the why’s. And that’s why I’m here…to bring to you some of the greatest breakup stories of our times…some recent, some from the pages of history, some scandalous, some sad and some just plain unexpected….
1. Anne Hathaway- Rafaello Follieri …
Together for: Four years
Best known for: Rafello’s business scandals
The Breakup: Rafaello’s charity organisation, Follieri Foundation that funded vaccination programmes in developing countries, came under the radar of the New York State Attorney General’s Office when a cheque for a huge amount (read: $215000) bounced.
Long story short, Anne tired of the lies and afraid all the drama would hurt her career. So she dumped Rafaello and moved back to L.A. It’s always tragic when a love story doesn’t work out but Anne is a gorgeous woman and I have no doubt that she will find a man much more worthy of her love.
2. Blake Fielder- Amy Winehouse …
Together for: A year and a half
Best known for: Their mutual love for drugs.
The Breakup: Talk about weird and weirder. These two were strangely perfect for each other. Probably too perfect. All the drugs, the rehabs, the physical abuse simply had to come to an end sooner or later…. especially considering that Amy believed that the only thing holding them together was great sex.
3. Mel Gibson- Robyn Moore …
Together for: 28 years!
Best known for: Almost making it
The Breakup: It’s really sad that a couple cannot sort out their differences 28 years into the marriage and seven children later. The couple, who have been separated for 3 years now, signed their divorce papers one day before Good Friday this year citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the divorce.
Mel is now with Oksana Grigorieva, a 39 year old Russian singer who is also reportedly pregnant with his child. Oh well, atleast it wasn’t an ugly divorce, the most expensive in Hollywood history yes but definitely not ugly!
4. Lindsay Lohan- Samantha Ronson …
Together for: A couple of months
Best known for: Lindsay’s gay now??
The Breakup: I’m all for gays rights and relationships but somehow these two just seemed wrong together. Two troubled souls might find solace in each other for a while but eventually they’ve got to go their own separate ways. And that’s just what happened. Their ever volatile relationship ended leaving a very heartbroken Lindsay. Here’s Lindsay pouring her heart out on The Ellen Degeneres Show:
5. Jennifer Aniston- John Mayer …
Together for: About a year.
Best known for: Multiple breakups.
The Breakup: They might have had their share of “breaks” but looks like its finally over for this couple. Seems like Jen truly is unlucky in love. And it’s sad because she seems like a lovely woman. As for the breakup, sorry but there are no juicy scandals here. They just were “not right for each other”. Jen wanted commitment. John couldn’t give her what she wanted. They decided to call it quits. Simple and sad. I hope Jen can find true love someday.

6. Hayden Panettiere- Milo Ventimiglia …
Together for: About a year.
Best known for: Their age difference.
The Breakup: She’s young, loves her friends, loves to party and live it up! He’s older, mature and ummm… not so social. Put those two together and you know that it’s not going to work out ….not for long anyway. A 12 year age difference is massive to say the very least and a definite recipe for disaster. I thought they were kinda cute together even though it was a tad bit icky that he played her uncle in the hit TV series Heroes. :D
7. Rihanna- Chris Brown …
Together for: About a year
Best known for: Pre grammy domestic violence fiasco.
The Breakup: Until recently there was much speculation about whether these two were still together after the pre grammy incident. Some sources claimed that they were simply taking a break and that Rihanna has decided to forgive Chris. I’m sorry but I don’t think I could give a second chance to someone who did this to me. Recent stories however claim that Rihanna has indeed moved on and has been seen partying all around town with her girlfriends and may even be involved with an ex boyfriend from Barbados. Good for her!
8. Bridget Moynahan- Tom Brady …
Together for: Three years
Best known for: Ex sex
The Breakup: While the breakup itself was amicable, what brings them to this list is the baby they had together AFTER the breakup. I mean here you are giving birth while the father of the child is busy frolicking around town with supermodel Gisele Bundchen. Highly uncomfortable for everyone I would think.
Tom and Gisele also apparently got married at the St. Monica Catholic Church where neither of them are parishioners but Bridget is. That’s just rude.

I def felt bad for Anne Hathaway…she is such a sweet girl she did deserve that. And same for Jennifer Aniston being cheated on like that by Brad Pitt. Great list…but I do hope the Gosselin family will be knocked off this list…we have watched the show since the start and you cant really know just by watching the show or seeing whats on the entertainment shows about them what is really going on. But I think they should stop the show for the sake of their marriage and their kids.
PS…I meant that Anne didn’t deserve that!! Spell Check!
I so agree with you Diana, Anne is such a sweet person! But I hope she finds a great man now who will be perfect for her.
Jennifer Aniston should stop dating people in show business..look for a great businessman,Dr.., etc. who wont compete with her celebrity or who doesn’t have such a giant ego..a confident manly man.
I totally agree with you Mary!
Jen is such a sweet person, I totally love her. And since now she heasn’t yet found a man who deserve her.
Lets see again how things go with John Mayer!
Good Luck and Fingers Crossed Jen!!
Hey Xannyy,
I don’t think they’re together anymore! Although the lates buzz is that they might be….Well who knows. I would love to have a singer boyfriend!
Thinking about it they make a very cute pair. And the last tabloids I read where that they’re seeing each other lately. Well who knows!
Theses celebrities surely don’t lead a quiet life!!
Xannyyy,
I guess it’s part of the package of being a celebrity! I think I would tear my hair out if people constantly watched my every move and took pics and posted them for the world to see!
Yeah me too, cause we are normal category!! :P But that’s a commitment they take when being one!
Yeah Xannyy, I guess so. No one said being a celebrity was easy :p
