15 Celebrity Couples Who Refused To Give Up On Their Partners, Despite Breaking Up, Separating, Or Divorcing First

Love everlasting!

1. SEPARATED: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been separated for seven years. Earlier this month, in promotion for her memoir Worthy, Jada revealed that she and Will have been separated since 2016, living "completely separate lives."

Today, they're currently working on their differences and have no desire to divorce.

2. FILED FOR DIVORCE: Jillian Fink filed for divorce from Patrick Dempsey in 2015 after 15 years of marriage.

However, it only took a year for the two of them to reconcile. They officially called off their divorce in November 2016.

3. BROKE UP: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck called off their wedding just days before they were supposed to walk down the aisle in September 2003.

Fast-forward nearly two decades, a few marriages, several kids, and dozens of movies later, Bennifer 2.0 has officially arrived.

4. FILED FOR DIVORCE: Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset in September 2020, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Just two months after filing, Cardi called off the divorce. She admitted that she wanted to "teach him a lesson."

5. BROKE UP: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel ended their relationship in March 2011, but a source claims there were "no hard feelings" and that it was "completely mutual."

In a July 2011 issue of Vanity Fair, Justin speaks effusively about his ex Jessica, and by August 2011, the two were spotted together in Toronto after seemingly reconciling.

6. BROKE UP: Ashanti and Nelly have always been coy about their relationship, as they both continued to push the narrative that they're just "good friends." But in 2015, they seemingly confirmed their split, despite breakup/infidelity rumors swirling around since 2013.

Nelly and Ashanti were reportedly first romantically linked back in 2003 after meeting at a Grammy Awards press conference. But now, the two are back in each other's good graces!

7. BROKE UP: Dax Shepard ended things with Kristen Bell three months into their relationship in 2007, after Kristen had already fallen in love with him.

Dax had recently gotten out of a nine-year relationship and was also casually dating someone else at the time, so he wasn't sure if he was ready for anything serious. Well, that uncertainty didn't last long, because four days later he called Kristen back saying, "'I don't know what I was thinking. I was dating someone else but they're just not as interesting as you, and I don't know what I'm doing,' and he came back."

8. BROKE UP: Adam Levine began dating Behati Prinsloo in May 2012, shortly after breaking up with her close friend and fellow Victoria's Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna a month before. Adam and Behati dated for a year but called it quits in May 2013.

But in July 2013, just two months later, Behati and Adam rekindled their relationship. They tied the knot in July 2014 in Mexico, with Jonah Hill as the officiant.

9. BROKE UP: Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade began dating in 2009 and took a break in early 2013 due to their busy work schedules (Gabrielle was filming back-to-back projects and Dwyane was in the NBA playoffs). During their brief split, Dwyane had a baby with another woman.

Despite the unexpected birth, Gabrielle and Dwyane weren't willing to give up on each other just yet. They married in 2014 and welcomed their first child together, Kaavia James, in November 2018.

10. SEPARATED: Pink and Carey Hart wed in 2006 in Costa Rica, but in 2008 they decided to separate. Their split actually inspired a few of Pink's singles, like "So What" and "I Don't Believe You."

This year marks 17 years of marriage for Pink and Carey. They share two children together — their daughter, Willow Sage, 12, and their 6-year-old son Jameson Moon.

11. BROKE UP: Prince William and Kate Middleton met while attending the University of Saint Andrews and officially began dating in 2003. They decided to call it quits in spring 2007.

After a year apart, the two rekindled their relationship in March 2008. Fast-forward to April 2011, when they tied the knot in one of the most publicized ceremonies in the world, aka the Royal Wedding 2011, which generated more than 1 billion views.

12. BROKE UP: Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey began dating in 2006 after connecting multiples times on TRL and later starring in his music video "What's Left of Me." Three years later, in June 2009, they decided to take some time apart from each other.

But that time was brief, because by October 2009 they were back in each other's arms. They tied the knot in July 2011 and share three children together — Camden John, 11, their 8-year-old daughter Brooklyn Elisabeth, and their 6-year-old son Phoenix Robert. Nowadays, you can catch them hosting the popular Netflix dating series The Ultimatum.

13. BROKE UP: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were first spotted together being flirty at a 2016 Golden Globes afterparty in January. They became Instagram official in May 2016. But in February 2017, Katy called things off with Orlando.

After being spotted together in August 2017, Katy revealed she and Orlando were officially dating again in May 2018. By February 2019, the two were engaged, and today, they're the proud parents of a 3-year-old girl named Daisy Dove.

14. Rose Leslie and Kit Harington fell in love while filming Season 2 of Game of Thrones in 2011, but by August 2013, the former costars called it quits.

But they couldn't stay away from each other for too long, which is why they were seen in July 2014 getting cozy at LAX. By 2016, Rose and Kit confirmed they were officially an item again. The two walked down the aisle in June 2018 during a beautiful ceremony in Scotland.

15. Kyle Kuzma shot his shot in Winnie Harlow's DMs in early 2020, and by April 2020, they were officially a duo. They reportedly took a quick break in 2021.

The couple quickly proved they were back on after being spotted at dinner and later celebrating Valentine's Day together.
