The 16 Biggest Celebrity Break-Ups of 2020

The 16 Biggest Celebrity Break-Ups of 2020

Bust out the tissues, because L'OFFICIEL is looking back at the saddest celebrity splits of the year.

The year of 2020 has been nothing short of a rollercoaster with several of the screws missing, only made worse by your favorite celebrity couples announcing their breakups. Some of these couples parted ways before quarantine began, and some couldn't handle being stuck in the same house together for months at a time. While a few splits on this list might push you to believe love is dead (looking at you, Vanessa and Austin), a number of stars have already moved onto new relationships. In the words of the musical genius Ariana Grande, "Thank you, next."

As we close out this dumpster fire of a year, L'OFFICIEL remembers 2020's biggest Hollywood biggest break-ups.

Vanessa Hudgens & Austin Butler


In January, Us Weekly reported that the High School Musical actress and her boyfriend of nine years had split. A source explained that the strain of their schedules (Austin Butler was in Australia filming the new Elvis Presley biopic) was the crux of their break-up.

However, in September, past tweets of Ehrich gushing over Lovato's former BFF Selena Gomez were discovered, including one that said, "Hahaha selena gomez and demi are cute [together] but boy if you think demi is prettier… you’re WRONG!” Ehrich denied the allegations and claimed the tweets were photoshopped. While Lovato initially defended her fiancé, they broke up only two weeks later.

He wrote of Reinhart, "What an incredible experience I had, I'll always feel lucky and cherish that I had the chance to fall in love. I wish her nothing but the utmost love and happiness moving forward. All I'll say about it, anything else you hear doesn't matter."
