19 Celebrity Breakups That Left Us All with Broken Hearts and Shattered Ideals

People break up everyday, but when celebs break up, everyone becomes emotionally invested in their lives and devastation rules the land; and because Murphy's law is not kind to anyone , there are a lot of celebrity breakups that have made headlines.

However, we care much more about the lives of celebrities than regular people, and their love lives keep people glued to television screens and magazines for hours.

Maybe it's because we're trying to escape the humdrum routine of our lonely sad lives, or maybe it's because celebrities have more happening lives than us, but when the stars break up , they leave nations weeping.

Brangelina

It doesn't feel right to separate their names, even after Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ended their marriage, leaving fans around the globe devastated.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were Hollywood’s golden couple during their five-year marriage, which went kaput when Brad Pitt cheated on Jennifer, with Angelina, breaking not only the F.R.I.E.N.D.S star's heart, but of fans' as well.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield

The adorable couple from The Amazing Spiderman were goals AF, before they decided to call it quits and break millions of hearts.

Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult

After five years of giving us hope, the X-Men stars just...broke up. Without our blessing. Ek baar pooch toh liya hota ?

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

For Twilight fans, Kristen and Robert were the ultimate vampire romance, and their chemistry off screen just added to the appeal. Add in a little bit of Taylor Lautner and you have yourself an army of young girls with messed ideals. However, their split caused a riot of tears and heartbreaks.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were an iconic celebrity couple. The matching denim formal wear ? Amazing. The effortless charm they seemed to ooze when they gave interviews or appeared in photos together was perfection, and fans were devastated when their tryst with each other ended.

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris

They broke up after a year of Instagram heaven – romantic dates, fun in the snow, and lots of PDA at award shows, but Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift's romance was not meant to last and they announced their split, leaving fans crying and the internet speculating.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber

We've seen our fair share of on/off celebrity romances, but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are on another level. Since they first fell into each other's arms, they've endured a fake fan pregnancy, a fight with a photographer, a possible engagement, a few cheating allegations and a trip to rehab; yet, when Selena dumped Justin, the Beliebers just couldn't believe it and we all cried a little tear.

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron

High school romance is a cruel thing, with heightened emotions and raging hormones, but a High School Musical romance is even more devastating, especially when every 90s kid's heart broke when Troy and Gabriella split. We get it, they gotta go their own way.

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams

As perfect as the onscreen couple of The Notebook was, they dated off camera and were a real-life storybook romance for years. So obviously, when they broke up, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams left behind them a string of dumbstruck Notebook fans, who lived their lives watching romcoms and believing in love, crying in the rain about the ephemerality of the emotions.

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow

After a decade of marriage, with two beautiful kids, and a crowd of adoring fans, when they "consciously uncoupled," our faith in marriage went separate ways as well.

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton

"Sometimes you're not meant to be forever together," Helena Bonham Carter told Red magazine in 2015. "But that was a gift, a massive gift. We gave each other children and a lot more." As true as that is, we can't stop hurting over this one.

Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan

Bollywood's very own Greek god and his angelic wife were one of the most beautiful couples to grace our lives, and when they broke up, our world kind of shattered, too.

John Abraham and Bipasha Basu

John and Bipasha had been going rock solid for almost 10 years when reports of their break-up surfaced, leaving hundreds of adoring fans screaming foul!

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif

As much as Sallu Bhai loves to drive, he just wouldn't have wanted to drive away Bollywood's very own barbie doll, but he did. And when they broke up, the fanbase of both the stars were left heartbroken.

Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan

This was one of the most popular relationships, when it was going on and even when it wasn’t. After Jab We Met , we all fell in love with them, and we thought the love was real this time, but their sudden breakup came as a shock to everybody.

Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone

They made efforts to keep their relationship under wraps but everybody saw through that facade. Every move they made started making headlines, from Deepika’s RK tattoo to their airport kiss, making it sadder for us to accept their break up.

Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande

Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande were the most loved couples on Indian television, and fans were hoping to hear wedding bells, only to be disappointed.

Kalki Koechlin and Anurag Kashyap

Two of the most avant-garde persons in Bollywood, both Kalki and Anurag have been favourites, with their open attitudes and progressive mindsets, making sure that their breakup caused a lot of breaking hearts.

Do you know of any more couples who broke up and left us all sobbing into our pillows?
