In 2017, no relationship was safe.
Whether couples dated for a few months or had been married for years, many decided that
it was time to call it quits.
And while everyone knows that nothing lasts forever, no one expected so many of Hollywood's
biggest power couples to separate.
Here are the celeb breakups that have upset fans the most so far this year.
Funny people
The surprise match-up of Avengers star Chris Evans and actress-comedienne Jenny Slate was
even cuter than Marcel the Shell with shoes on.
"Honestly we're just like both two teenagers from Massachusetts, so it kind of feels like
I got my dream 7th grade boyfriend."
But after dating for just nine months, the Gifted co-stars decided to call it quits.
Luckily, their breakup was very amicable, since the two have gone on to shower each
other with compliments in the media.
And in recent weeks, they've been spotted together again, so, who knows?
Maybe there's a future for these two after all.
Scream queen and her king
After meeting on the set of Scream Queens Season 2, Billie Lourd and Taylor Lautner
became an unexpected item.
The former Twilight star reportedly grew closer to Lourd after the death of her mother, Carrie
Fisher, and grandmother, Debbie Reynolds.
Lourd's uncle, Todd Fisher, praised Lautner's treatment of his niece throughout such a difficult
time.
"He's stepped up and acted like, you know, a husband would act."
So, it was a bit of a bummer that the two called it quits after just eight months.
But fortunately, Lourd and Lautner appear to remain friends.
Punk royalty
The pop punk scene got a bit of bad news when Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams decided
to call it quits with New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert, with whom she'd been for almost 10
years.
In July, the couple issued a statement that "marriage is not for the faint of heart … The
two of us have been together for the better part of 10 years.
We've grown up together and we've been beside each other through a lot of goodness and a
lot of challenges … we are going to be okay and in fact, we remain close friends who are
good in each other's eyes."
At least we have some great breakup ballads to look forward to from both of their bands.
Blue steel breaks
The laughter really stopped when, after almost two decades together, Zoolander stars Ben
Stiller and Christine Taylor decided to end their long-lived union.
The pair announced their separation in May, with a joint statement that said, "With tremendous
love and respect for each other, and the 18 years we spent together as a couple, we have
made the decision to separate."
The pair — who share two children — reportedly had differing priorities, and with Ben's cancer
scare and the loss of his mother, Anne Meara, there was a lot of hardship on their plates.
However, the two have managed to remain friendly to each other, and not just for the sake of
their children but for fans as well.
They reunited for a Dodgeball charity tournament the following month and were just as funny
as ever.
"Hello Kate.
You're looking sensual."
Single duchess
Pop star Fergie and her actor husband Josh Duhamel broke fans' hearts when they announced
their split after eight years of marriage.
In a joint statement, they said, "With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as
a couple earlier this year.
To give our family the best opportunity to adjust, we wanted to keep this a private matter
before sharing it with the public.
We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family."
After all they'd survived as a pair in the past, from rumors of infidelity to substance
abuse, it was sad to hear that they couldn't make it work, but Fergie explained:
"We're great friends.
Josh and I, there's so much love that we have for each other.
We really like each other, we have fun with each other, we're just not a romantic couple
anymore."
The two currently co-parent their son Axl.
The jumpers
Millennial power couple Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen separated after 10 years
together in September.
Bilson, who won the hearts of millions as Summer on The O.C., became an item with the
Star Wars prequel trilogy star after they appeared together in the 2008 sci-fi film
Jumper.
The two went on to marry and have a daughter together, but ultimately called it quits after
a, quote, "buildup of issues and problems" including the fact that Christensen is notoriously
reclusive.
However, rumors abound that Christensen may have had an inappropriate relationship with
his Little Italy co-star Emma Roberts, after Bilson reportedly found suggestive text messages
on his phone.
Reality rut
Movie stars weren't the only celebs to call off their relationships in 2017.
Real Housewives of New York City star Luann de Lesseps and her husband Tom D'Agostino
filed for divorce after just seven months of marriage.
Of course, it was probably no surprise to those who'd watched the show and witnessed
her friends try to warn her about him again and again.
But the Countess' second marriage started showing signs of strain almost immediately
after their nuptials.
Things even reportedly started getting violent between them, although Luann denied reports
that she'd slapped him in public.
"What couple doesn't have lovers quarrels?"
But eventually things got so out of hand that even she couldn't stand for the constant rumors
surrounding her man.
"I thought I could handle it, just, until the point where I couldn't handle it anymore."
Despite his refusal to stop all the flirting, however, Luann's still sure of one thing.
"I totally believe he was faithful."
Some things never change.
Anna Faris and Chris Pratt
The whole universe got upset with Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt's split from
his wife, Moms star Anna Faris.
The two had been married since 2009 and share son Jack together.
But they announced their separation with a statement that read, "We tried hard for a
long time, and we're really disappointed."
Between his climbing star status, rumors about their parenting differences, and whispers
that some infidelity had occurred, there've been a lot of theories as to why they couldn't
make love last.
But no matter the cause of their split, it's still very sad for fans to see these two go
their separate ways.
"Oh, I'm fine.
It's just that life is pointless and nothing matters and I'm always tired.
Also I can't sleep.
I'm overeating.
None of my old hobbies interest me."
