Sadly, 2018 has been the year of the biggest breakups. Killing our dreams of #couplegoals and having to deal with the fact that love is dead, we’ve sadly had to come to terms with the fact that some of our favourite couples are no longer together. See all the celebrity duos who’ve broken up this year, from longtime pairs such as Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum Bonang and AKA— so far. Sometimes love just isn’t enough to keep two people together and that was the case for many of these personalities who split.
Angela Rye and Common
These two had been dating since September 2017 but decided to call it quits in early March. “We have and will always be friends. He is an amazing human being, and I’m a much better person because he’s a part of my life,” said Angela.
Khanyi Mbau and Tebogo Lerole
Back in January Khanyi Mbau left fans shocked when she announced split from longtime boyfriend Tebogo.
Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum
The pair separated in April saying “We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now.” Our Step Up dreams are dead.
Mel and Zwai Bala
Nobody expected Mel and Zwai’s divorce. It captured headlines for days on end and left many dying to know what the exact cause was.
Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik
In March, power couple, Zayn and Gigi called their 2-year relationship. Zayn confirmed their split on Twitter saying: “Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship. I’m grateful to all of our fans for respecting this difficult decision.”
Bonang and AKA
Technically this one happened in December already, but none of us believed it until AKA confirmed it on Anele’s show and on social media.
Grace Miguel and Usher
The couple announced their separation after 2 years of marriage. “After much thought and consideration, we have mutually decided to separate as a couple,” they said in a joint statement to Us Weekly. “We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives. The enormous amount of love and respect that we have for each other will only increase as we move forward.”
Thomas and Unathi
They were one of the OG’s in the game, so like Mel and Zwai’s divorce, we also never saw this one coming. Unathi seems to be doing well though… but, has anyone checked on Thomas?
Lena Dunham and Jack Antonoff
After five years together, they called it quits in December, but the news only broke in January. E! News reports that the split was amicable and “mutual” and that they both want the best for each other.
Nicki Minaj and Nas
“Nicki and Nas fizzled out,” a source told Us Weekly after the end of their 7-month relationship. “They were never in the same place at the same time, so it was hard to move their relationship forward.“ The source adds that there is no bad blood between the former couple: “They still remain friends.”
