From Natalie Portman to Lerchek: the most scandalous divorces of stars

Celebrity divorces always attract public interest. This collection includes celebrity couples whose love has recently collapsed.

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari

The most high-profile celebrity divorces always attract the public's attention, and the divorce of Britney Spears and Sam Asghari was no exception. Britney's fans hoped that her marriage to fitness trainer and model Sam Asghari would bring her happiness and love after a difficult period with the conservatorship. They met in 2016 on the set of Britney's Slumber Party video, in which Sam took part. Their relationship developed rapidly, and in 2021 Sam proposed to her.

However, before they could make their relationship official, Britney was under the conservatorship of her father James Spears for 13 years. Finally, after being released from their conservatorship, they got married in California on June 9th. Although they didn't have any relatives from the bride's side at the ceremony, there were plenty of celebrities in attendance.

Despite the fact that their lives seemed to be getting better, in August 2023 it became known that they were divorcing due to “irreconcilable differences!” Rumors surfaced about Britney's infidelity and Sam claimed she threw tantrums and fights, which caused him to leave her.

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied

Another couple who announced their divorce in 2023 is Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied. Their marriage lasted 11 years, but Natalie filed for divorce after she learned of her husband's infidelity with environmental activist Camille Etienne. They tried to improve their relationship for the sake of the children, but it seems that Natalie could not forgive the betrayal.

Meryl Streep and Don Gummer

Another famous couple, Meryl Streep and Don Gummer, have announced their separation after 45 years of marriage. It turned out that they had not lived together for the last six years, but they had never officially advertised it. They continued to wear wedding rings and appear in public together, and the reason for their breakup is still unclear.

Cardi B and Offset

Couple Cardi B and Offset from the rap group Migos also announced their divorce. They had difficulties in their relationship, but they tried to save the family for the sake of their daughter. However, despite their efforts, they decided to separate.

Lerchek (Valeria Chekalina) and Artem Chekalin

In March 2024, it became known about the divorce of blogger Lerchek from Artem Chekalin. After the tax case was closed, Lerchek filed for divorce from her husband, and information about the civil case appeared on the website of court precinct 246 in the Danilovsky district. In this case, Chekalina acts as the plaintiff, and Chekalin as the defendant. The conversation between the parties is scheduled for March 25 at 14:35 Moscow time.

After the news of the divorce spread, Valeria and Artem Chekalin commented on the situation for the first time. On Wednesday, March 20, they published stories on their social media pages.
