Everyone has relationship issues at some point in their life. Celebrities are no different. They go through the same relationship ups and downs as the rest of us, only they get to do so publicly. Society’s obsession with celebrity and celebrity culture has created a demand for near-constant coverage of what our favorite celebrities are wearing, doing, and eating for lunch. Imagine living life under that kind of non-stop scrutiny! Of course, some celebrities face more scrutiny than others. This is largely based on a celebrity’s social media presence and how open they choose to be with their lives. But we all know the paparazzi have been known to get a bit pushy with even the most secretive celebrities.

Celebrity relationships are a common focus of the media because this is one facet of life us normal everyday folks can relate to. We may not be eating at the most exclusive restaurants or partying until 4 o’clock in the morning, but we have certainly dealt with our fair share of relationship issues. That is why whether happy or sad, we simply must know what our favorite celebrities are getting up to romantically. Sometimes the news is scandalous: rumors of affairs, public fights, and explosive custody battles. And sometimes there’s no news at all.

Sometimes our favorite celebrities seem to have things all figured out in the romance department. That only makes it more soul-crushing when our favorite couples split. Just like in our own lives, it’s always harder when no one sees it coming! Here are 15 perfect celeb couples destined for divorce.

16 Beyoncé And Jay-Z - Trust Issues 

The most powerful couple in music, Beyoncé and Jay-Z certainly seem to have everything going for them. The couple has been together since 2002 and were married in a private ceremony in 2008. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are known for keeping their relationship private. There was zero press surrounding their wedding until after it happened. Beyoncé also famously stayed out of the public eye after the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy, and the more recent birth of her twins, Rumi and Sir.

Typically, this secrecy would be a great sign that the relationship is going to last, but in this case, we have to wonder what they are hiding. It is no secret that Jay-Z had been rumored to be a bit of a philanderer. There were those early rumors that Jay-Z had been stepping out on Beyoncé with Rhianna, who was newly signed to his label. While the couple countered those rumors with their own that suggested the cheating rumors were merely a stunt to generate interest in Rhianna, there has been no shortage of these rumors in recent years either. The couple famously makes and addresses accusations of Jay-Z’s infidelity in their music. Something about that just doesn’t seem healthy.

15 Kim Kardashian West And Kanye West - Superficial Love 

Perhaps one of the most famous celebrities of our time, many people allege that Kim Kardashian West is famous for doing absolutely nothing. Sure, she is not involved in the music industry and she has no acting talent to speak of, but even we have to admit that it takes skill to remain so relevant for so long. In-between selfies and appearances Kim is patiently waiting for the arrival of Baby #3 with her husband, Kanye West.

Not a day goes by without the Kardashians appearing in the news. There’s constant speculation about every aspect of their lives. The Kardashian’s love being the center of attention, in fact, their whole brand depends on it. Kanye West, on the other hand, is like a fish out of water in this family. Though he’s a performer, he is also famously shy and would rather not be the center of attention. Unless he’s the center of attention. It’s complicated! It makes us wonder how long a quiet and shy person can possibly last in this family.

14 Jennifer Aniston And Justin Theroux - So Much Scrutiny 

The country has never gotten over the epic demise of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s marriage. For a over a decade now the media has been clamouring for justice for Jen. Proponents of Team Aniston won’t rest until the see justice! Except that Jennifer has happily moved on. She’s remarried, to The Leftovers star Justin Theroux, who is nothing if no dreamy. Jennifer is living her best life and she is not here for the continued outcry over her divorce and her childlessness.

While the two seem entirely smitten with each other, we cannot help but wonder if the constant media scrutiny and comparisons is going to wear on Justin. It must be hard being constantly compared to one of the most iconic relationships in Hollywood history, but he must know what he signed up for. Of course, there are also the near constant stories about how unhappy Jennifer is, and how a divorce is imminent. There’s only so much of that a person can listen to before it becomes internalized. We certainly hope these two kids can make it last!

12 Jada And Will Smith - Swingers' Lifestyle 

Jada and Will first met on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1994. She had auditioned to play his girlfriend, but the producers thought that she was too short to be paired with Will Smith. Proving all those height detractors wrong, the couple started dating in 1995 and have been together ever since. They wed in 1997 and have two children, Jaden and Willow.

The couple is no strangers to rumors about their relationship. Rumors of infidelity, an open marriage, and a swinger lifestyle have all hit the couple at one point or another. Last year Will Smith opened-up about attending “a lot” of couple’s therapy over the years. Which could be a sign of the couple confronting their issues before they get too big to solve. Or it could be a looming portent of doom for the couple, especially when all the rumors that surround them are considered.

11 Tori Spelling And Dean McDermott - Having Babies To Fix The Marriage 

Sometimes when a relationship gets off on the wrong foot it can be a sign of trouble to come. That very well may be the case for Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott who met while they were both married to other people. The couple met while filming a movie in Ottawa and reportedly began an affair that very night. Tori and Dean both speedily divorced their respective spouses and the couple married in May 2006.

Given the way, their relationship began it should come as no surprise that rumors of infidelity continue to haunt the couple to this day. And sure enough, it was revealed in 2013 that McDermott had a short affair with another woman. In the years since then, the couple claims to have tackled their marital issues head-on. They even added another child to their brood in early 2017. Though we’re not entirely sure that’s a good sign. When has having a baby ever fixed a marriage?

10 LeAnn Rimes And Eddie Cibrian - Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian have a story that should sound awfully familiar. They met on the set of a movie, while they were both married to other people! Didn’t we just do this? Eddie and LeAnn began having an affair, and LeAnn was lambasted in the press for breaking up Eddie’s marriage to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville.

As with many relationships that begin with affairs, this one has also been plagued by reports of infidelity. In fact, not a month goes by where Brandi, LeAnn, or Eddie aren’t in the press attacking each other or defending themselves. Not exactly the behavior of mature adults. LeAnn claims that the key to her happy marriage is respect, and for now at least the two seem pretty happy together. Brandi, on the other hand, insists that Cibrian will kick LeAnn to the curb in the next few years, and looks forward to never having to see her again. Wow! That kind of makes us hope these two crazy kids make it.

9 Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban - Rehab Relapse 

Before Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban got married, Nicole was married to fellow Hollywood A-lister Tom Cruise. The couple were married for eleven years and have two adopted children together. They divorced in 2001, and there have been rumors ever since that Cruise’s commitment to The Church of Scientology was a contributing factor in the divorce. Kidman and Urban met in 2005 and married the very next year, which is a bit quick and as Kidman herself as pointed out the couple didn’t really get to know each other until they were married.

While that does not necessarily sound like a recipe for success, the couple is still going strong eleven years later. Things didn’t get off to the smoothest start, however, because just four years after they got married Urban checked himself into rehab. Not exactly the best start to a marriage! The couple had since talked about how difficult this time was for them. With a history like that, there could very well be more turbulent times ahead!

8 Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi - $400 Million Dollar Divorce 

Ellen DeGeneres is the reigning queen of daytime television. Her talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, has been on the air since 2003 has produced more than 2500 episodes. Ellen and Portia began dating in 2004. After gay marriage was legalized the California is 2008, the couple were married in a ceremony at their home.

Ellen credits the success of their marriage to the fact that they just understand each other, something that she says is more profound even than love. Of course, the couple often finds themselves of the receiving end of rumors about an impending divorce. Just this year there were allegations that the couple was heading towards a $400 million divorce! Each time these rumors surface the couple is quick to denounce them as false, appearing together at events and lambasting the accusations in the press. We can’t help but wonder why these rumors keep surfacing if there’s really nothing to them.

7 Pink And Carey Hart - Deep Rooted Issues 

Pink is a pop star most well-known these days for her high-flying acrobatics during her performances. Pink and Carey met in 2001 at the Summer X Games and they began dating later that year. The couple has had their fair share of break-ups and make-ups over the course of the sixteen years since they first met. They first broke-up in 2003 after just two years of dating. By 2005 not only were they back together but Pink had proposed to Carey. The couple married the next year.

The marriage has not been without its challenges. In 2008 Pink announced that the couple had separated after two years of marriage, only to announce that the two had reconciled in 2009. They have since had two children, Willow and Jameson. The couple has been open about their use of marriage counseling to help them confront their issues. Recently, Pink revealed that the couple had gone a full year without having sex. We’re not sure if that’s a good thing, or not!

6 Megan Fox And Brian Austin Green - On And Off Again 

Megan Fox is a Hollywood starlet best known for her roles in Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Brian Austen Green made a name for himself on the original incarnation of Beverly Hills, 90201. Like many of the couples on this list, Fox and Green got together after meeting on the job, the set of Hope & Faith to be specific. Despite the large age difference between the two, the couple got engaged in 2006. This engagement ended just three years later.

The couple reportedly got engaged in 2010, though Fox maintains that they were engaged the entire time. If that is true, then why did the couple report that they had broken up in 2006? A bit of revisionist history perhaps? In any case, the couple married in 2010 and had two children before announcing their intentions to divorce in 2015. Perhaps unsurprisingly the famously fickle couple called off the divorce and welcomed a third child in 2016. We wouldn’t be surprised if this couple continues to be on-and-off again before finally breaking up for good.

5 Heidi Montag And Spencer Pratt - Both Trainwrecks 

Ah, Speidi! The notorious couple first made names for themselves on the MTV reality series The Hills which gave viewers insight into the lives of the young and disgustingly wealthy in Orange County. Heidi and Spencer met on the show and decided to begin dating during the second season of the show and reportedly have been together ever since. We say reportedly because there was a memorable moment several years ago when Heidi was photographed dramatically filing for divorce.

The couple came out just a few years ago to say that the divorce had been a publicity stunt. They had, in fact, been together all along and were currently living with family. The couple famously struggles with money issues, reportedly due to Spencer’s slightly odd obsession with purchasing crystals. Their shared love of self-promotion might be enough to keep these two crazy kids together, but we’re just not sure that staging a fake divorce sends the best message about a relationship!

4 Kristen Bell And Dax Shepard - Too Good To Be True

The perfect couple in all of the coupledom, Kristen Bell, and Dax Shepard, began dating in 2007 after meeting at a birthday party. The two got engaged in 2010 but, like many celebrities, they announced they would not get married until gay marriage was legal. Kristen and Dax were married in 2013 at a super low-key ceremony at the County Clerk’s Office. The couple has two adorable daughters born in 2013 and 2014.

Though she is currently starring on the NBC comedy The Good Place, Kristen is an avid poster on social media. She often uses her posts to highlight the mundane aspects of parenthood such as being forced to dress up as Elsa for Halloween, or her daughters making an absolute mess of the house. The couple is famously open about how they have been in couple’s therapy since the beginning so that they can tackle any issues in their relationship before they get out of hand. Which seems like a good idea, but could it be a sign of trouble to come?

3 Tom Brady And Gisele Bündchen - Began With Infidelity 

Gisele Bündchen is a Brazilian supermodel who first made a splash in the United States in the 1990s. She began dating NFL player Tom Brady in December of 2006, but there was a catch. Brady was still dating Bridget Moynahan at the time. In fact, Moynahan would announce that she was expecting their first child around that same time. This controversy caused many celebrity watchers to brand Bündchen a homewrecker.

As we’ve seen so far, many celebrity couples begin with infidelity. It should come as no surprise when we hear of another couple who started out this way. Despite their unorthodox beginning, Gisele and Tom are still going strong. The two married in 2009 and have two young children together. Despite their seemingly strong relationship, we would not be surprised if they still have issues stemming from the initial infidelity. Can a cheater ever really be trusted?

2 Nikki Reed And Ian Somerhalder - Weird Behavior 

Ian Somerhalder is most well-known for starring on The Vampire Diaries as immortal brother Damon Salvatore. Nikki is likely most recognized, by a certain demographic, for her portrayal of Rosalie Hale in The Twilight Saga. Their relationship, while currently going strong, is another one that got off to a questionable start. Reed and Somerhalder began dating in 2014, around the time she separated from her husband Paul McDonald. The couple got married just a month after the divorce was finalized.

More recently the couple has been in the news for the birth of their first child, Bodhi. The birth itself was kept relatively out of the press, but what did grab everyone’s attention was Somerhalder’s far too cavalier attitude about his wife’s contraceptives. Reportedly the couple decided to start a family when they were out of the country and Somerhalder threw out all of Reed’s birth control pills! Talk about overstepping boundaries! This kind of behavior is definitely not healthy, no matter how they try to spin it.

1 Hillary And Bill Clinton

Hillary and Bill Clinton have been a staple of American politics since the 1970s. During their time in the public eye, they raised one daughter and are now proud grandparents of two. Their work has taken them from Arkansas, to Washington DC, to New York. And through it all, they have remained devoted to each other and their family. Hillary famously stuck by her husband after the Monica Lewinsky scandal in the 1990s.

Today we are seeing an awakening of sorts in this country. Women everywhere, in all industries, are starting to stand up and demand and end to sexual abuse and harassment. Though this movement starts in Hollywood with the Weinstein scandal, it is quickly spreading across the nation, and now beginning to affect our elected representatives. Some internet commentators are suggesting that all things being equal, it is time to start taking all the allegations about Bill Clinton seriously. If this were to happen, we can’t help but wonder if it would spell the end of the Hillary and Bill romance.
