If 2024 was the year of celebrity engagements and fairytale weddings (yes, we’re still thinking about Zendaya flashing that ring at the Golden Globes), then 2025 has been marked by splits. Some of these couples had been together for what felt like forever, others just a few years—but each breakup sparked its own mix of shock, gossip, and “Well, we kinda saw that coming.” Let’s rewind the tape for the romances that didn’t survive the year.
Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom
Last but not least, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. After years of ups and downs—from their romantic 2019 engagement to therapy sessions trying to smooth out the bumps—the couple finally called it quits in July. Their statement stressed love and respect as they focused on raising their daughter Daisy, but behind the scenes, things had been tense for months. Touring schedules, career stress, and maybe just too many years of “are they on or off this week?” finally caught up with them.
Sydney Sweeney & Jonathan Davino
Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino have been together since 2018. They even got engaged in 2022. Just last year during her Saturday Night Live monologue, Sydney called him “the man of my dreams.” Which made their 2025 breakup sting even more for fans. By March, Sydney was showing up to events solo and keeping quiet about it all. Insiders whispered that the split had more to do with timing—Sydney’s skyrocketing career and her decision to hold off on marriage and kids until her 30s. Fair enough; she’s only 27 and on a major Hollywood roll.
Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin
After nearly a decade together, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin finally closed the book on their romance in June. The cracks had been there for a while: a never-ending engagement, endless delays in setting a wedding date, and whispers that Dakota wanted kids while Chris felt he was done after having two with Gwyneth Paltrow. Friends said the relationship had technically been over for some time, but Dakota loved both Chris and his kids so much that she held on longer than she should have. But now she’s now free to find someone ready to match her energy for both love and family.
