Top 10 Celebrity Breakups We Saw Coming
These couples were so wrong for each other, they had their doomed fate written in the stars! Welcome to MsMojo and today we'll be counting down our picks for the top 10 celebrity breakups we saw coming. We've included couples such as Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore, Britney Spears & Kevin Federline, Blac Chyna & Rob Kardashian, Katy Perry & John Mayer, Taylor Swift & Harry Styles, and more.
#10: Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian
This couple documented their whole relationship with social media overload, so naturally their breakup was one of the ugliest we've seen in a long time. After announcing their engagement only 3 months into their relationship, we were witnessing another celebrity whirlwind romance that was surely only heading one direction - splitsville. We're sure everyone remembers that epic meltdown Rob had on Instagram back in July 2017 when he took revenge on his ex by posting explicit pictures of his baby momma. Ouch. What makes this relationship even more complicated is that Blac Chyna used to date Tyga – Rob’s sister Kylie Jenner's ex-flame. Drama!

#9: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
We were all kind of surprised when these two got together and eloped after only a few weeks of dating, but they defied our initial doubts and officially married back in 2008 in a lavish ceremony in the Bahamas. The songstress and comedian welcomed twins a few years later in 2011, however rumors of their split started circulating in 2014 after they failed to renew their vows, as they had done every year previously. After 6 years of marriage, the couple separated, and their divorce was finalized in 2016.
#8: Kanye West and Amber Rose
Before Kim K came along, Kanye dated model/actress Amber Rose between 2008 and 2010. Their relationship was made very public, with the pair often seen putting on some rather over-the-top displays of affection together. But the fiery passion that burns twice as bright lasts half as long, and the pair split in 2010, but their relationship drama didn't end there, Kanye famously called out his ex on Twitter in 2016, calling her a 'stripper', and Rose made several attacks on Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian for being a 'homewrecker.' So much for letting bygones be bygones…

#7: Katy Perry and John Mayer
Together, apart, together, apart. These two just couldn’t seem to make up their mind, making us all seriously doubt that they would ever work as a couple. Their high-profile romance – which even included some engagement rumors – finally came to a conclusive end back in 2015, however we can't help but think there is still some unresolved business between these yo-yo daters. In 2017, Perry admitted that Mayer has been her best lover throughout her life. Still, if their relationship didn’t work the first few times, it's probably not going to now.

#6: Michelle Rodriguez and Zac Efron
This beautiful couple was over before the rest of the world even realised they were together. All we got were a couple of beach snaps that saw the perfectly sculpted pair frolicking and putting on some very intimate displays of affection during a romantic getaway in Italy. No one would have ever dreamt of putting these two together, and they were one of the most unexpected couples to come out of Hollywood in a long time. Turns out that initial confusion was justified when they split after only 2 months of dating. Here's to a summer fling, we guess.
…
#5: Taylor Swift and Harry Styles
Like most Tay relationships, this one did not withstand the test of time. Former One Direction cutie Styles and country musician-turned pop superstar Swift got together back in 2012, but it was all over for the young lovers before we even had time to come up with a ship name. We got some cute pics of them strolling hand in hand during a winter getaway, but eventually the relationship crashed and burned. But hey, at least the two musicians got some more songwriting inspiration out of it!
…
#4: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Who can forget this unlikely pairing that gave us one of Hollywood's strangest couples. Cruise's appearance on Oprah when he famously declared his love for Holmes was nothing short of bizarre. Despite welcoming a daughter Suri back in 2006 and tying the knot just 5 months later, rumors were rife that the relationship was on the rocks due to Cruise's keen interest in Scientology, something his then wife did not share. After 5 years of marriage, Holmes filed for divorce, putting an end to one of the most mysterious celebrity relationships in years.
…
#3: Ashon Kutcher and Demi Moore
Before Kutcher married his one true love Mila Kunis, he was married to actress Demi Moore who was 15 years his senior. Their relationship was pretty cute but after 7 years, Moore filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. Their marriage was always plagued by rumours of splitting, and we weren't exactly shocked when they did finally call it quits in 2012. However, the split opened the doorway for a Kutcher/Kunis union; a pairing that people have shipped since “That ‘70s Show”. Sometimes breakups are for the best.
…
#2: Britney Spears and Kevin Federline
Who can ever forget this relationship that seemed utterly doomed from day one? Britney set her sights on back-up dancer Federline, and after a whirlwind courtship, the couple got hitched after only a few months of dating. Despite having 2 children together, K-Fed and Britney broke things off in 2006. The split took its toll on young Britney- her epic meltdown and famous head shaving incident took place a year later. Thankfully our beloved pop princess eventually made a miraculous recovery and is now better than ever.
Before we reveal our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton
Rhianna and Drake

#1: Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
Of course, there could only be one clear winner here. After beginning to date in 2010, Kim K and Humphries got married a year later, and the wedding was broadcast to the world as a two-part TV special. Some say it was a reality TV stunt to boost the ratings of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and it's hard to argue against this idea when the marriage lasted a whopping 72 days. The couple had barely cut the cake before Kim was filing for divorce.
