Several high-profile celebrity relationships and marriages have come to an end in 2026, according to reports and official confirmations compiled by Us Weekly. The year’s notable splits span long-term marriages of nearly two decades to shorter-term high-profile romances.
The wave of separations began early in the year, with actors Bill Hader and Ali Wong ending their relationship in January. In May, a representative for Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen confirmed to Us Weekly that the couple had decided to split after 18 years of marriage.
The summer months brought a series of high-profile breakups. In June, Us Weekly confirmed that singer Ariana Grande and actor Ethan Slater had ended their relationship after nearly three years of dating. Shortly after, actress Courteney Cox and Snow Patrol musician Johnny McDaid ended their relationship after more than ten years together.
July saw a rapid succession of announcements. Actor Frankie Muniz and his wife, Paige Price, announced the end of their marriage. Country music singer Jon Pardi and his wife, Summer, also announced their separation, while fellow country artist RaeLynn and her husband, Josh Davis, separated after ten years of marriage.
In television and comedy, actress Abby Elliott filed for divorce from her husband of nearly ten years, Bill Kennedy. Additionally, television personality Matt Rogers and ‘Below Deck’ star Fraser Olender split approximately eight months after first confirming their romance. Most recently, reports emerged in July that actor Chace Crawford and model Kelsey Merritt called it quits after more than a year of dating.
While some couples have released joint statements or confirmed the news through representatives, others have quietly filed legal paperwork, marking a notable shift for several long-standing Hollywood couples.
