Celebrity Breakups of 2024 Include Kim Kardashian, Odell Beckham Jnr & More

Kim Kardashian & Odell Beckham Jnr.

After being first linked in September 2023, Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jnr.’s romance “fizzled out” by April 30, 2024. They were spotted leaving Vanity Fair‘s Oscars party in March, with a source telling People at the time that they were “hanging out pretty much all night once he got there.”

The insider added: “There wasn’t a ton of PDA like some of the other couples, but there was a lot of touching, and they were right near each other the entire time. They were careful about not being too all over each other, but there was lots of chemistry, and they left together.”

TMZ reported on November 8, 2023, that Kim attended Odell’s birthday party in New York after her appearance at the CFDA Awards. The event boasted a star-studded guest list, including the likes of Lil Baby, Saquon Barkley, Saweetie, Stefon Diggs, James Harden, Ashley Graham, and Justine Skye. An insider revealed to Page Six at the time that Kim and Odell spent the evening chatting with Fanatics mogul Michael Rubin. However, the source insisted that the interaction didn’t appear flirtatious.

While some sources claimed the two were merely “hanging out,” others suggested a deeper connection. Entertainment Tonight reported in September 2023 that Kim and Odell have known each other for a while and have been spending more time together, emphasizing their common circle of friends. A source close to Kim shared with the site at the time, “She’s not seriously dating anyone at the moment but is open to finding love again if she meets the right person.” The insider added, “Right now, her main focus is on her kids and her businesses.”

Ryan Seacrest & Aubrey Paige

Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Paige were confirmed to have broken up on April 24, 2024. “After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways,” a source close to the couple told People. “They plan to stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors.”

After news of the breakup was reported, many sources came forward about the reason behind the split. Sources revealed to Radar Online that Seacrest felt “pressure” to propose to Paige and start a family. Aubrey was “clear from day one that she’s not just interested in getting married. She wants a guarantee the deal will include having children.” They further claimed that “she wants kids, and she wants them with Ryan.” However, his busy schedule averted him from the plan. “He’s always on the run, and can’t even imagine how he’d handle all his projects if he was kept awake by the cries of a newborn,” the source said.

A day after the news broke, Aubrey went on her Instagram to respond to those who questioned the relationship. “S/O to my haters, this one’s for you 💋,” the model wrote alongside an Instagram video of herself in a pool on Wednesday, April 25. “Happy #winewednesday.”

The Golden Bachelor‘s Gerry Turner & Theresa Nist

Speaking during an appearance on Good Morning America on April 12, 2024, just three months after their nuptials, The Golden Bachelor‘s Gerry and Theresa made the sad announcement their relationship was over.

“Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth—and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage,” Gerry said. “We looked at homes in South Carolina, we considered New Jersey, and we just looked at home after home, but we never got to the point where we made that decision,” Theresa added.

“I still love this person,” Turner said. “There’s no doubt in my mind, I still am in love with her. I root for her every day.” The feeling is mutual, said Theresa. “Yeah, I still love him. … We have received so much love and support from so many people who watched The Golden Bachelor, and I don’t think we can tell you how many people told us that it gave them so much hope,” Theresa said. “We want none of that to change for anybody.”

Sadly, we could have predicted this was coming. TMZ reported on April 1 that the couple was living apart because of how close they are with their own families. “Theresa’s still working in NJ and has yet to decide what she’s going to do about her job as a compliance officer. Also, Gerry and Theresa are super close to their own families, and our sources say moving away from either would be difficult for them,” the outlet reported. They’re also “still madly in love and want to make the marriage work.”

Sacha Baron Cohen & Isla Fisher

On April 5, news broke that it was all over between comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher, who’d been married for 14 years—and that it had been for some time. “After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down,” read a joint Instagram statement. “In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”

Baron Cohen and Fisher met in 2001 at a party in Sydney, Australia, well before they gained fame for their hit movies, 2006’s Borat and 2005’s Wedding Crashers, respectively. “She was hilarious. We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party,” Baron Cohen recalled of their first meeting in a 2020 interview with The New York Times. “I knew instantly. I don’t know if she did.”

Gypsy Rose Blanchard & Ryan Scott Anderson

The victim of Munchausen Syndrome by proxy—a rare form of abuse in which a caregiver exaggerates or induces illness in a person under their care to gain sympathy and attention—Blanchard murdered her mother to escape years of abuse and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and served a 10-year prison sentence; released on December 28, 2023.

Blanchard’s future husband, Ryan Scott Anderson, sent her a letter in 2020 and said that he never expected to hear back from her, but by May 2020, they were regularly corresponding. In 2022, Anderson and Blanchard obtained a marriage license in Chillicothe, Missouri. It wouldn’t last, however, because People discovered the couple split on March 28, 2024.

A very subtle detail in Gypsy Rose’s divorce post hints that the couple grew apart. “People have been asking what is going on in my life. Unfortunately, my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou,” she wrote in a statement obtained by People from her private Facebook account. “I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now I need time to let myself find… who I am.”

On April 3, TMZ reported sources close to the couple knew exactly why the couple split. “Gypsy has been telling family and friends that her estranged hubby, Ryan Anderson, had become super argumentative post-prison release and was constantly making her feel like she couldn’t do anything right,” the tabloid said.

Natalie Portman & Benjamin Millepied

On March 8, 2024, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied finalized their divorce after separating in 2023. Reports of infidelity loomed over the couple after Millepied was rumored to have an affair during the marriage. Multiple outlets like People and Page Six confirmed Portman and Millepied officially divorced in February 2024. The two filed for divorce in France, where they live with their two children.

The couple met in 2010 on the set of the critically acclaimed Black Swan and were married on August 4, 2012. They share two children, son Aleph, born June 17, 2011, and daughter Amalia, born February 2, 2017. On their 10th wedding anniversary, Portman shared a tribute to her husband on Instagram, writing in the caption: “Ten years today @benjaminmillepied, and it keeps getting better…” On his own Instagram Story, Millepied shared another photo and wrote, “10 years today!” with a wedding ring emoji.

After Black Swan, Portman and Millepied collaborated again on her 2018 film Vox Lux. She told People at the time: “It was really fun because I think he knows me so well, and what my strengths and weaknesses are in dancing, that he was really able to create choreography very seamlessly and quickly because we had very little time,” she said.

“So it was very convenient that he knew me so well and that he’s as talented as he is.” She continued, “It was fun to get to watch him create because I don’t often watch him in the studio. Just to see the ease and the expertise that he has, and of course with different kinds of dance too, was really, really stunning.”
