There have been plenty of celebrity splits in 2022. After 12 years of marriage, Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet announced their separation in January, kicking off the new year. Over the summer, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s whirlwind romance abruptly ended after nine months, with some rumours attributing the breakup to long distance. Following months of reports of marital issues, Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady also revealed that their 13-year relationship had come to an end in October.
Many of the celebrity couples we were expecting would be together forever ended up not being meant to be. Some relationships ended amicably, while others seemed more one-sided and dramatic. Of course, there were some happy romance stories throughout the year. The year 2022 was marked by both love and grief, from Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian’s lavish Italian wedding to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s reconciliation after a two-decade separation.

There are many aspects of our relationship that really work, and we have these gorgeous children together. I really wanted to be able to understand everything before I spoke publicly about [the split], and I can now clearly see how appreciative I am that I get to parent my children with him and that I had children with him.” Cricket Pearl, age 9, and Birdie Leigh, age 14, are the couple’s two children.
