00:00 From longtime loves to messy divorce cases to a Scandal that rocked reality TV,
00:05 2023 was the year of the breakup. Here are the most shocking, messiest, and most heart-wrenching
00:10 splits of the year. In March, it was all about Scandal, after we found out that Tom Sandoval
00:15 was cheating on Ariana Madix, his girlfriend of nine years, with her best friend and co-star
00:20 Raquel Levis. It took over social media, was brought up at the White House Correspondents'
00:24 Dinner, and even J.Lo weighed in. And, spoiler, she's team Ariana. But these VPR stars weren't
00:30 the only reality stars calling it quits. Kyle Richards and Mauricio Wimanski separated after
00:35 27 years together. Bachelor Nation stars Jason Tardik and Kaitlyn Bristowe ended things before
00:40 they walked down the aisle. And Kim and Kroy Beerman took the title for the most volatile
00:45 split of the year, after they accused each other of drug and gambling issues. Speaking of messes,
00:50 we have to talk about Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner, who finalized their divorce in
00:55 September after 19 years of marriage. The legal battle raged on for four months as they argued
01:00 about money, Yellowstone, and their home. Things also got heated for Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner,
01:06 after she sued her ex, claiming their children were being wrongfully detained in the U.S.
01:10 However, they did reach a resolution, and they will be swapping custody until early January.
01:16 Plenty of other A-listers also threw in the marriage towel, including Joshua Jackson and
01:20 Jodie Turner-Smith, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth,
01:25 and Hugh Jackman and Debra Lee Furness, who ended things after 27 years of marriage.
01:30 And finally, the queens of pop music all found themselves back on the market after their public
01:36 splits. In April, it was confirmed that Taylor Swift split with Joe Alwyn after six years,
01:40 and we know that they are never getting back together, thanks to Travis Kelce.
01:44 In July, Ariana Grande found herself in a scandal after she and Dalton Gomez split
01:49 after two years of marriage. Shortly after her relationship ended, she moved on with
01:53 her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, who filed divorce from his own wife, Lily J, that same month.
01:59 And despite Britney Spears calling Sam Asghari a "gift from God" in her memoir,
02:03 he ended their one-year marriage in August after six years together.
