Angelina Jolie Says She Left Brad Pitt "for the Wellbeing of My Family"

It truly felt like the end of an era when Angelina Jolie split from Brad Pitt in September 2016. Having met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2004, while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston, the couple went on to have six children together: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. They got married in August 2014 after almost a decade together.

In an interview with NPR in September of this year, Pitt revealed, "A breakup of a family is certainly an eye-opener that as one—and I'm speaking in general again—but as one needs to understand, I had to understand my own culpability in that, and what can I do better."

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan met on the set of 2006 dance movie Step Up, and their on-screen chemistry was palpable. The costars subsequently got married in a dreamy Malibu wedding in 2009, per People, and welcomed a daughter, Everly Tatum, in May 2013.

However, in April 2018, Tatum and Dewan announced their split, and both have since moved on. In fact, Dewan is now expecting her first child with Steve Kazee.

The world was shocked when Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux announced their split in February 2018, having gotten married in August 2015. In a statement via The Associated Press, the former couple's publicist revealed that the decision to separate "was mutual and lovingly made at the end of [2017]."

Theroux later told The New York Times, "The good news is that was probably the most—I'm choosing my words really carefully—it was kind of the most gentle separation, in that there was no animosity." The exes are still on good terms and recently spent Thanksgiving together.

Before J.Lo's fairy-tale romance with Alex Rodriguez, the singer was married to Marc Anthony for the good part of a decade. After walking down the aisle on June 5, 2004, wearing Vera Wang, Lopez gave birth to twins, Emme and Max, in February 2008.

However, in July 2011, Anthony and Lopez announced their split to the world. In a statement, via the Daily Mail, they said, "This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters."

According to E! News, Ashton Kutcher first met Demi Moore at a dinner in 2003. They would go on to marry in September 2005, but their marriage was hit with rumors of infidelity.

In November 2011, Moore released a statement (via People) that said, "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton. As a woman, a mother, and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life."

Daredevil costars Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's engagement was reported in April 2005, and apparently took place around the time of Garner’s 33rd birthday. Per People, they wed just two months later on June 29 in Turks and Caicos, with Garner expecting the couple's first child.

The Afflecks would go on to have three children together: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel Affleck. In June 2015, the couple announced their split after 10 years of marriage, and their divorce was finalized in late 2018.

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt announced their separation in August 2017 after eight years of marriage. Pratt revealed the split in a Facebook post, writing, "Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we're really disappointed."

Faris and Pratt continue to co-parent their son, Jack Pratt. In June of this year, Pratt moved on when he married Katherine Schwarzenegger, and recent reports suggest that Faris may be engaged to her new partner, Michael Barrett.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's romance once seemed picture-perfect, with the couple marrying in Italy in November 2006.

Holmes reportedly told Cruise she was filing for divorce during a phone call in June 2012, according to People. The publication also noted, "With help from her hard-charging attorney dad, Martin, she engineered a dramatic exit, which included moving apartments, changing cell phones and hiring new security."

Most importantly, Holmes gained primary custody of the couple's daughter, Suri Cruise. Mother and Daughter live in New York.

A little more than a year after her divorce from Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes was spotted dancing with Jamie Foxx at a party in the Hamptons. Years of rumors followed, with occasional photos of Holmes and Foxx spending time with one another leaking to the press. In January 2018, the pair appeared to confirm their relationship when they attended a pre-Grammys gala together.

Holmes and Foxx took their relationship to the next level when they made their Met Gala debut as a couple in May this year, only to announce their split soon after.

One of the biggest breakups of 2019 and the decade in general came as somewhat of a surprise to fans. Having met while making Nicholas Sparks's movie The Last Song, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth embarked upon a decade-long, on-and-off relationship.

The couple married in a secret wedding in December 2018, but less than eight months later, the singer's rep confirmed to People, "Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time." Almost simultaneously, Cyrus was photographed kissing Kaitlynn Carter, but has now moved on with Cody Simpson. Hemsworth officially filed for divorce in August of this year.

The former costars had one of the most magical relationships of the decade, or so Twilight fans thought. Being cast as star-crossed lovers Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in 2008, it's unsurprising that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson reportedly had chemistry from the start. At the time, Stewart was still dating Michael Angarano, per E! News, but once that relationship tailed off in early 2009, the costars became inseparable.

Their relationship first encountered trouble in 2012 when Stewart was photographed kissing movie director Rupert Sanders. Despite a brief reconciliation, Stewart and Pattinson split for good in May 2013. In an interview with Howard Stern in November of this year, Stewart revealed, "We were together for years, that was my first [love]."

Hollywood stars Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber announced their separation in September 2016 after 11 years together. In a joint statement, via The Telegraph, they revealed, "It is with great love, respect and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship."

The couple co-parents two children, Alexander "Sasha" Pete and Samuel "Sammy" Kai. Watts has since started dating Billy Crudup, with whom she costarred in Netflix's Gypsy.

The stars met while shooting the 2003 movie Alfie, while Jude Law was going through a divorce from Sadie Frost, per InStyle. In early 2005, Law's rep revealed that the actor had proposed to Sienna Miller on Christmas Day in 2004, per People. But by July 2005, Law was forced to apologize to his fiancée when it was revealed that he'd had an affair with his children's nanny (Law shares three children, Rafferty, Iris, and Rudy Law, with ex Frost).

However, the high-profile pair revealed they'd reconciled on the Met Gala red carpet in 2010 [pictured], much to the delight of many. But by early 2011, Miller and Law had split for good.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin revealed via a now-unforgettable phrase in the English language that they were "consciously uncoupling" in March 2014.

After 10 years of marriage and welcoming children Apple and Moses Martin, Paltrow and Martin have managed to remain close. Paltrow has since married Brad Falchuk, and Martin is now dating actress Dakota Johnson. The quartet have fast become a blended family.

Emma Stone is now engaged, but some fans of the actress aren't over her relationship with former costar Andrew Garfield, who Stone met while filming The Amazing Spider-Man in 2010.

The year 2015 proved rocky for the couple, when they took a break only to reconcile a few months later. However, in October 2015, a source confirmed to E! News that Stone and Garfield had ended their relationship for good. That hasn't stopped Garfield from looking pretty smitten with his ex on occasion.

When it comes to on-off relationships, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez top the list. Despite breaking up with the singer in 2012, per Us Weekly, Gomez has been repeatedly linked to Bieber over the years ever since. Their most recent reconciliation at the end of 2017 gave fans hope that Jelena may be endgame after all.

However, the two singers took another break in early 2018, and Bieber started dating his now-wife, Hailey Baldwin, soon after. While promoting her new music this year, Gomez hinted that her relationship with Bieber was "toxic."

Fergie reportedly started dating Josh Duhamel after performing with The Black Eyed Peas on the actor's show, Las Vegas, in late 2004. They got engaged in the winter of 2007 and married in January 2009. They later welcomed a son, Axel Jack Duhamel, in August 2013.

In September 2017, Fergie's rep confirmed the split in a statement to E! News: "With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year. To give our family the best opportunity to adjust, we wanted to keep this a private matter before sharing it with the public. We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family." The couple finalized their divorce in November of this year.

The "Roar" singer is now happily engaged to Orlando Bloom, but this won't be her first marriage. Katy Perry met comedian Russell Brand at the MTV VMAs in 2008, and the pair started dating after reconnecting the following year at the VMAs in September 2009. The couple got engaged on New Year's Eve at a tiger sanctuary in India.

Brand and Perry returned to India for their wedding in 2010 but announced their split in late 2011. Perry later revealed in an interview, "He's a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him. Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011." Ouch.

After her split from Russell Brand, Katy Perry found love with John Mayer. Perry and Mayer were photographed on a date in August 2012, soon after the singer's divorce was finalized. Engagement rumors started springing up in 2013, and the couple released the romantic duet, "Who You Love," the same year.

Sadly, by February 2014, it was all over. Mayer even wrote a breakup album about his failed romance, and told The New York Times in 2017, "There were times when tears came out of me, and I went, O.K., John, this is not about an on-again, off-again relationship. This is something more profound."

Forget Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris. The Swift breakup of the decade that really matters (aside from the singer's brief latte-soaked dalliance with Jake Gyllenhaal) involves Tom Hiddleston and a legendary "I ♥ T.S." tank top.

Though Swift and Harris didn't announce their split until June 2016, the pop star danced with Hiddleston at the Met Gala in May, and sparks truly flew. In fact, Swift's song "Getaway Car" appears to hint at an overlap. Alas, their summer romance seemed to fizzle fast, with an Us Weekly source revealing, "Tom wanted the relationship to be more public than she was comfortable with."

The Crown's Princess Margaret and iconic movie director Tim Burton announced their split in December 2014 after 13 years together. Helena Bonham Carter started dating Burton after they worked together on the 2001 movie Planet of the Apes, and they went on to have two children together, Raymond and Elena Burton.

In 2015, she told Vanity Fair, "Sometimes you're not meant to be forever together. Sometimes you have to come to terms with the fact that that was it. But that was a gift, a massive gift. We gave each other children and a lot more else."

Before Kylie Jenner met Travis Scott, she dated Tyga from 2014 to 2017. People reported in April 2017 that the couple was taking a break, but that soon turned into a breakup when Jenner was photographed courtside with her new beau, Scott.

Jenner and Tyga are apparently still friendly, and it was reported in October this year that the pair had been hanging out after the makeup mogul, who shares daughter Stormi Webster with Scott, split from Stormi's dad.

Khloé Kardashian's whirlwind marriage to Lamar Odom seemed like a fairytale at first. The lovebirds wed in September 2009, just a month after meeting (via Entertainment Tonight), and even starred in their own reality show spin-off. However, in December 2013, Kardashian filed for divorce from Odom following reports of infidelity and substance abuse, per ET.

In October 2015, Kardashian called off the divorce after her ex was found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada and ended up in a coma. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was a rock for Odom as he recovered, but the pair didn't rekindle their romance. The couple's divorce was officially finalized in December 2016.

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's entire relationship was documented on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. According to Cosmopolitan, the couple met at Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis's house in Mexico in 2006. They have three children together: Mason, Penelope, and Reign Disick.

In 2015, the couple's romance was hit with rumors of infidelity, and Disick's substance abuse took its toll on his family. In October 2015, Disick and Kardashian split for good, but they remain on good terms as co-parents.

Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kris Humphries was televised, and the couple's marriage lasted a grand total of 72 days. They eventually settled their divorce in April 2013, just two months before Kim Kardashian's first child with now-husband Kanye West, North West, arrived.

This year, Humphries wrote an essay for The Players' Tribune, in which he revealed, "The one thing that really bothers me is whenever people say that my marriage was fake. There's definitely a lot about that world that is not entirely real. But our actual relationship was 100% real. When it was clear that it wasn’t working … what can I say? It sucked."

In August 2015, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale announced their split after 13 years of marriage. The pair released a statement to People that said, "While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment."

In 2016, the No Doubt singer discussed her split with Harper's BAZAAR and revealed the date she found out that her husband had been unfaithful: "February 9 [2015]. I obviously know the date. It was the beginning of hell." Stefani and Rossdale continue to co-parent their three kids, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo Rossdale. The pop star has since moved on with country singer Blake Shelton.

Gigi Hadid's little sister was first linked to The Weeknd when they were spotted hanging out at Coachella in April 2015, per E! News. Bella Hadid and Abel Tesfaye have been on and off ever since.

The couple initially split in November 2016, according to People. Tesfaye started dating Selena Gomez just two months later, but that wasn't the end of his relationship with Hadid. The former couple was photographed kissing at Coachella in 2018 and reignited their spark. Most recently, Hadid and Tesfaye broke up again this past August, but who knows if it's really the end.

Before she got engaged to and split from Christian Carino, Lady Gaga was engaged to actor Taylor Kinney. The A Star Is Born singer was with Kinney for five years, but the couple announced their split in July 2016.

In a heartbreaking Instagram post, Lady Gaga elaborated on the split and wrote, "Taylor and I have always believed we are soulmates. Just like all couples we have ups and downs, and we have been taking a break. We are both ambitious artists, hoping to work through long-distance and complicated schedules to continue the simple love we have always shared. Please root us on. We're just like everybody else and we really love each other."

Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper were one of Hollywood's most glamorous couples until their split in June of this year. Dating rumors about the attractive couple first started in April 2015, and in 2017, the couple welcomed their daughter, Lea de Seine Shayk Cooper, who they continue to co-parent.

Before they split, Shayk supported Cooper throughout awards season, during which the actor's directorial debut, A Star Is Born, was nominated for several awards. Cooper even thanked Shayk at the 2019 BAFTAs: "Most of all I have to thank Irina, for putting up with me for all the music I was trying to make in our basement for a year."

We're still not over Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson's whirlwind romance, which was first reported shortly after the singer split from Mac Miller in May 2018. From their quick engagement to their marriage plans to moving into a $16 million apartment together in New York, the couple's relationship was like a real-life romantic comedy.

However, Grande and Davidson ended their engagement in October 2018, a month after ex-boyfriend Miller sadly passed away. The pop star referenced her ex by name in single "Thank U, Next."

Before she was married to Evan Spiegel, with whom she has two children, Miranda Kerr was married to Orlando Bloom. Kerr began dating the actor in late 2007, according to E! News. The couple pulled off a secret wedding, which was reported in July 2010, and welcomed their son, Flynn Bloom, in January 2011.

In October 2013, Bloom's rep confirmed the actor's split in a statement to E! News: "Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family." Bloom got engaged to Katy Perry on Valentine's Day 2019.

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson were together for 10 years, which is why their July 2016 split hit us all pretty hard.

Kruger has since had a baby with The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus, and it's rumored that Jackson is now married to Queen & Slim actress Jodie Turner-Smith.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey got hitched after just six weeks of dating, per Us Weekly. They reportedly tied the knot in April 2008 on a private island in the Bahamas, where Carey owns an estate. The couple welcomed twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, in April 2011. But in August 2014, Cannon revealed the couple had split, and their divorce was finalized in late 2016.

In a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Cannon revealed, "We have an amazing co-parenting relationship [and] our kids are so happy. It's calm waters—let's just keep it that way. Keep it calm."

Before Ryan Reynolds was married to Blake Lively and Scarlett Johansson was engaged to Colin Jost, there was another Hollywood coupling you may have forgotten about. Reynolds and Johansson started dating in April 2007, and got married in September 2008 on Vancouver Island.

However, the couple announced their separation in December 2010, per People. In November of this year, Johansson told Vanity Fair, "The first time I got married I was 23 years old. I didn't really have an understanding of marriage. Maybe I kind of romanticized it, I think, in a way."

Heidi Klum secretly married musician Tom Kaulitz in February. But before that, the model was married to Seal for seven years, until the couple announced their split in January 2012. Klum and Seal's Halloween couple costumes will go down in history.

When Klum met Seal in 2004, she was already pregnant with daughter Leni, whose father is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore. Klum had three more children during her marriage to Seal⁠—Henry, Johan, and Lou.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd were 2017's It couple until they split in October after a 10-month courtship. After being spotted kissing in January 2017, the couple made their red-carpet debut at the Met Gala later that year in May.

Gomez and The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, even adopted a puppy while they lived in New York together. Their love was not to be, however, and Gomez reunited with Bieber soon after her high-profile split from Tesfaye.

Halle Berry met Olivier Martinez while filming Dark Tide in Cape Town in 2010. They married at Chateau des Conde in France in July 2013, via People, and the couple welcomed their son, Maceo-Robert Martinez, later that year.

More than two years after their wedding, Berry filed for divorce from Martinez. In a joint statement in October 2015, the couple told E! News, "It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce. We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son."

Gossip Girl fans are likely still obsessed with the fact that Penn Badgley and Blake Lively dated in real life, as well as on-screen. While Dan Humphrey and Serena van der Woodsen were endgame, Badgley and Lively were not. Daily Mail reported the couple's split, after three years of dating, in October 2010.

The exes reportedly managed to keep things friendly on set. Executive producer Joshua Safran told Vanity Fair, "They kept the breakup hidden from the crew, which you could never do now. I don't even know how they did it. They kept it from everybody which is a testament to how good they are as actors. Because they did not want their personal drama to relate to the show."

Kate Hudson started dating Muse front man Matt Bellamy in the spring of 2010. The couple announced their engagement in April 2011, and welcomed son Bingham Bellamy months later in July, per Us Weekly. However, in December 2014, it was revealed that the pair had quietly broken up, via E! News.

In October 2015, Hudson told Allure, "If Matt and I had a great relationship, we would still be together, but we chose to move on because we had different visions of how we wanted to live our lives. That doesn't mean, though, that we can't rebuild something that would be the best thing for the kids."

Hudson is now dating Danny Fujikawa, with whom she welcomed daughter Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik remain one of the chicest couples of the decade.

Us Weekly broke the news that the fashionable pair had started dating in November 2015. Several breakups and makeups ensued, and we're still not totally sure that it's over for good between the former couple.

Whether or not Hadid and Malik will officially rekindle their romance in the next decade remains to be seen.
