The biggest celebrity breakups of 2025 showed us that relationships can change a lot over the course of a year. They can spark, blossom, bloom and wither in 365 days or less. Some grow and thrive, leading to engagements and weddings, while others can't quite make it to the finish line and end in an amicable split or something a little more dramatic. When you're a celebrity, your relationship isn't just yours — you share it with the world, even when you try to keep details as private as possible. Celebrity relationships are frequently under the microscope and subject to lots of speculation, which can add to the pressure.
The year 2025 was a big one for celebrity splits and shake-ups, with some of our favourite couples parting ways for good. Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler ended their three-year relationship. Tate McRae and the Kid LAROI's split may have led to some musical inspiration for both parties, and Academy Award-winning superstar Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban split after 19 years.
Ahead, revisit some of the most noteworthy celebrity breakups of 2025.
Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber
Oscar-nominated actor Austin Butler and model-actor Kaia Gerber were first linked in 2021 and dated until late 2024, though their split wasn't made public until early 2025. Throughout their time together, they posed on the red carpet as a couple, made their Met Gala debut, and jetted around the world. Since their split, Gerber has been linked to SNL star Marcello Hernandez and actor Lewis Pullman and Butler has been linked to model Emily Ratajkowski, though he said they're just friends.
Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini
The Outer Banks star and country musician began dating in 2023 and even got matching tattoos during their relationship. However, they split in September 2025, then briefly appeared to have reconciled. In late November, Stokes took to social media with a cryptic post about being “blocked,” and People reported that the two were no longer following each other on Instagram.
Tate McRae and the Kid LAROI
Musicians Tate McRae and the Kid LAROI were first linked in 2024 and attended the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party as a couple in 2025, plus a trip to Coachella and a romantic excursion a deux in Paris. While they stepped out for high-profile occasions, they were homebodies. “Sometimes it’s nice to go out and do stuff like that, but most times, we’ll just be like, ‘Yo, should we go out for dinner? Let’s just order something. Let’s make something. Let’s watch something,'" the Kid LAROI said of their relationship. I
n July 2025, though, it was over, and fans speculated that LAROI's song A Cold Play was about McRae and her song Tit for Tat was about him. “We wеre good, I thought we made it through thе ending / I was hearing sh*t I never thought you'd say / Could have picked it up exactly where we left it / Took our future off your plate," McRae sang in Tit for Tat.
JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez
Love Island US season six stars JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, who met on the show and finished in third place, split in late July 2025. Craig confirmed the split on social media, writing, “As you know, Kenny and I are no longer together. Please know that I have seen all the breakup theories and none have matched up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is. Discovering that someone you loved isn't who you thought they were and that the relationship you thought you were building hasn't been genuine since day one has been truly devastating. Thank you for respecting my privacy and please know [that] as a child of God, I will always be okay.” About a month later, she told People, "I don't want to waste my breath on him, if I'm being so honest. I thought it was a good relationship. But it wasn't, and that's fine."
JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs
Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa split from her partner, Kath Ebbs, after Siwa appeared on Big Brother UK; at the time, Ebbs claimed Siwa broke up with them at the afterparty, which Siwa later confirmed. “I’ll be honest, that was not a plan. That was not an intention, that was not supposed to happen like that," Siwa told E! “Initially, I was told that the wrap party was something they didn't want to attend and then about an hour into the wrap party they decided they wanted to. And so I was genuinely just going to have a conversation before and then it just led to another.”
Siwa is now dating her Big Brother costar Chris Hughes.
Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade
Are they or aren't they? That was our question during much of 2025, when actor Jacob Elordi and content creator Olivia Jade appeared to be back on again. But in August, People reported that the pair had “decided to call it quits.”
Elordi and Jade were first linked in 2021 and were on again, off again for a few years, reportedly breaking up and getting back together several times over the years. The two never made a public appearance as a couple and did not speak about their relationship status.
Benito Skinner and Terrence O'Connor
Overcompensating star Benito Skinner and his boyfriend of nine years, Terrence O'Connor, broke up in autumn 2025. Skinner announced their amicable split on his podcast Ride, saying, “We both just love each other so much and have so much love and respect for each other, and we treated each other with love and respect until the end," he shared. "I hope that if anything, you should believe in love, because I really had it and I really feel so lucky to have met him and to have been around his genius.”
Ashley Park and Paul Forman
Emily in Paris star Ashley Park and her costar and boyfriend, Paul Forman, split after two years of dating in autumn 2025. The two met on the show, where they played former classmates turned lovers.
Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino
In early 2025, Sydney Sweeney called off her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino. The two started dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2022. In 2023, Sweeney spoke abut their relationship with Glamour UK, saying, “I’ve been in a steady relationship for a really long time, which is not normal in this industry and not normal for my age. Everyone is always so curious about who I’m with and what’s that like, but I think it’s important to have something for me." Sweeney is now reportedly dating entertainment manager Scooter Braun.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
One of the most shocking celebrity breakups of 2025 was that of Oscar-winning actor Nicole Kidman and musician Keith Urban, who split after 19 years together. The Australian couple married in 2006 and have two daughters, model Sunday Rose and Faith.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
Another big split was that of pop star Katy Perry and Lord of the Rings actor Orlando Bloom, who called it quits. The two first dated in 2016, broke up a year later, and reunited, getting engaged in 2019 and welcoming daughter Daisy in August 2020.
"Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting," reps for the couple confirmed to People in July 2025. "They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect."
Lily Allen and David Harbour
The 2025 celebrity breakup that rocked the globe — twice. Rumours had been swirling around Lily Allen and David Harbour for weeks before the split was confirmed by their representatives in February 2025. Fans were stunned, recalling their romantic Las Vegas wedding and how hopeful this second-chance love story once seemed for them both.
Then things got messy. In October, Allen released West End Girl, a track widely interpreted as a tell-all about alleged infidelity, including claims of a three-year affair on Harbour’s part and the breakdown of their marriage. She also addresses his alleged desire to open up their relationship.
