Celebrity break-ups of 2019: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth and more
Adele, Khloe Kardashian and Lady Gaga have all become single in the last 12 months.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s shock split was the latest celebrity separation of 2019.
The Hollywood couple called it a day less than a year after walking down the aisle.
However, theirs was not the first high-profile separation of the year. Below is a list of the celebrity splits of 2019 so far:
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth
Pop star Cyrus, 26, and Australian actor Hemsworth, 29, met on the set of romantic drama The Last Song in 2010 and dated on and off for nearly a decade before walking down the aisle.
Brody Jenner and Kaitlynn Carter
A representative for the pair said: “They love and respect one another, and know that this is the best decision for their relationship moving forward.”
Carter has since been pictured kissing Miley Cyrus during a holiday in Italy.
Camila Cabello and Matthew Hussey
Following news of the break-up, Cabello urged her fans not to send “hateful” messages after Hussey’s social media accounts were targeted.
Cabello is now reportedly in a relationship with Canadian singer Shawn Mendes and this month wrote “I love you” in a birthday message to the star.
Adele and Simon Konecki
The couple, who have a six-year-old son, Angelo, started dating in 2011 and tied the knot in 2016.
In a statement, Grammy-winner Adele’s representatives said: “They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always, they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.”
Michelle Williams and Phil Elverum
Williams and Phil Elverum, a musician, tied the knot in July 2018 in upstate New York, but a source close to the couple confirmed to People magazine that they had separated.
It was the first marriage for the Oscar-nominated actress, who has a child with the late Heath Ledger, and the second for Elverum.
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson
Kardashian and Thompson, who welcomed their first child together in April 2018, split after allegations that he had cheated with Jordyn Woods, the best friend of her younger sister, Kylie Jenner.
At the time, Kardashian tweeted that it was not the first time the basketball player had cheated on her, adding: “What’s been harder & more painful is being hurt by someone so close to me. Someone whom I love & treat like a little sister. But Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault.”
Lady Gaga and Christian Carino
The singer and actress had started dating Carino in 2017 before she revealed last October that they were engaged.
A week after their split was revealed, Gaga shone at the Academy Awards, where she performed with her A Star Is Born co-star Bradley Cooper and picked up an Oscar for the song Shallow.
Stacey Dooley and Sam Tucknott
She has since moved on with her Strictly partner Kevin Clifton.
Shortly after her break-up with Tucknott, Dooley tweeted: “Anyone with any adult life experience knows there are 2 sides to every story. I haven’t got the time or energy to correct some of the utter nonsense I’ve read on here.”
Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham
Fincham announced the break-up in a post on his Instagram Story, saying “sometimes things aren’t meant to be”.
They hit a bump in the road in December, when Dyer said they had broken up because they had realised their relationship was “not meant to be long term”, but she later told fans they were back on.
Wes Nelson and Megan Barton-Hanson
The pair, who were finalists in last year’s series of the ITV2 show, ended their relationship while Nelson took part in Dancing On Ice.
Their romance had been thrust into the spotlight due to the show, and Barton-Hanson had admitted to being jealous about seeing Nelson dancing with professional ice skater Vanessa Bauer.
Ulrika Jonsson and Brian Monet
She told Best magazine she had tried to salvage her third marriage with counselling, but that it failed, and “getting another divorce aged 51 is not where I thought I’d be”.
Jonsson married US advertising executive Monet in 2008 and they have one child together, a 10-year-old son named Malcolm.
Lily Allen and Meridian Dan
The singer told Elizabeth Day’s How To Fail podcast about her break-up from the grime artist.
She said: “I’m single, for the first time since I was about 15. We’ve been broken up for about three weeks.”
