The Most Devastating Celebrity Breakups of 2018

Breakups suck—no matter who’s involved. But when they play out in the tabloids in front of millions of strangers, well, that’s unfathomable—and the life of a celebrity. While most of us can hide from an ex with a simple block button on social media, celebrities have to watch their relationships—and their dissolutions—play over and over again in the media, and 2018 is no different.

Each year sees its share of devastating celebrity breakups, but with the splits of fan-favorite couples like Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson and Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, 2018 was on a whole ‘nother level.
