-
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey -The two pop stars first met at a Hollywood Christmas Parade in 1998, and four years later Nick proposed to a then 22-year-old Jess. Their new life together was chronicled on MTV's reality series Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, but their love was shortlived. After months of tabloid speculation, Jess filed for divorce in November of 2005 citing "irreconcilable differences.” -
LeAnn Rimes and Dean Sheremet - LeAnn was married to backup dancer Dean Sheremet at the tender age of 21 in 2002. The couple announced their separation in September, when an affair between Rimes and actor Eddie Cibrian became headline fodder earlier this year. Citing "irreconcilable differences”, Sheremet filed divorce papers. The split will be official by June this year. -
Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas - Vying for the title of “Shortest Marriage”, Drew married Welsh bar owner Jeremy Thomas at 19 years of age. It lasted a grand total of 19 days. Drew clearly wasn’t jaded, walking down the aisle again in 2001 with comedian Tom Green. Green filed for divorce six months later. -
Cheryl Cole and Ashley Cole - After three-and-a-half-years, the 26-year-old Girls Aloud star and X Factor judge has filed for divorce this month from her footballer husband. Their married life was a rollercoaster, with rumours of Ashley’s alleged infidelities continually hitting headlines. -
Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley - The two punk rockers lasted three years, until a then 25-year-old Avril filed for divorce. They officially divorced on October 21, 2009, with Lavigne bagging their $9.5 million mansion all for herself. -
Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson - The hippie couple married in 2000 - the same year they began dating. Despite the 13-year age gap between Chris (34) and Kate (21), the pair almost had Hollywood fooled, with their marriage lasting six years. They called it quits in 2007, but still remain close friends and have one son together, Ryder. -
Kelis and Nas - The four-year marriage ended in 2005, with the “Milkshake” singer citing “irreconcilable differences” with her rapper husband. Kelis was 29 years-old and seven months pregnant at the time. -
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline - Oops, she did it again. After a 55-hour marriage to childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander, the pop princess sauntered down the aisle again in 2004, becoming engaged to her backup dancer Kevin Federline three months after they met. Britney was 22 years old at the time and reportedly paid for her own engagement ring. The couple filed for divorce in 2006, which led to Britney’s personal downfall and erratic behaviour which made worldwide news. -
Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona - Former Westlife star Brian McFadden, 28, and 27-year-old Katrona (former Atomic Kitten singer) married in 2002 and had two daughters (Molly and Lilly-Sue) before their separation in 2004. Their very public and hostile divorce was finalised in December 2006, and Brian now dates Aussie golden girl Delta Goodrem. -
Dita Von Teese and Marilyn Manson - The oddly matched pair commenced dating in 2002, married in 2005 and divorced two years later. Burlesque dancer Dita was 33, and shock rocker Manson was 36 at the time. Manson, now 41, is currently engaged to Evan Rachel Wood, 22, with Wood tipped to be the next member of the young Hollywood divorcee club. -
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe - America’s sweethearts Reese and Ryan married in 1999 and divorced 9 years later, in June 2008. The two were only 23 and 24, respectively, when they tied the knot. The marriage hit the skids just as Reese’s career skyrocketed. Reese is currently dating on-again, off-again boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ryan has just this month broken up with Aussie actress Abbie Cornish. -
Pink and Carey Hart - The feisty 29-year-old singer married 33-year-old motocross racer Carey Hart in 2006, but split in 2008. Despite the time apart, the two decided to give it another shot and remarried last year in a low-key affair at home.
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey -The two pop stars first met at a Hollywood Christmas Parade in 1998, and four years later Nick proposed to a then 22-year-old Jess. Their new life together was chronicled on MTV's reality series Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, but their love was shortlived. After months of tabloid speculation, Jess filed for divorce in November of 2005 citing "irreconcilable differences.”
