Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen
In October 2022, NFL quarterback Tom Brady and his wife Gisele Bündchen announced they were ending their 13-year marriage. Divorce rumors struck the couple in early 2022 after Tom announced he would be "unretiring" from football.

The couple share two kids together — Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10.
Dixie D'Amelio & Noah Beck
Hailed TikTok's "It" couple, Dixie D'Amelio and Noah Beck were first linked together in 2020. While breakup rumors began plaguing the couple in early 2022, the pair continued to deny any trouble in paradise. In November, the couple officially announced they had parted ways.
Harry Styles & Olivia Wilde
After meeting on the set of their movie Don't Worry Darling in 2020, Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles confirmed their romance after being spotted together by paparazzi. While the two worked to keep their relationship out of the public eye, rumors began to swirl of on-set tension between Harry's co-star Florence Pugh and Olivia while the group did promotion for the film in 2022.
Though the director, Olivia, denied any drama between the cast, it seems Harry and Olivia's relationship ran its course. The couple reportedly called it quits in November 2022 following the film's release.
Jason Momoa & Lisa Bonet
In January 2022, Aquaman star Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet ended their 17-year relationship, announcing via Instagram that they had filed for divorce. The couple — who had been married for five years — posted a joint statement, citing that the pair were "parting ways in marriage."
"The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other to be who we are learning to become," the statement continued.
Jason and Lisa share two children together: daughter Lola, 15, and son Nakoa-Wolf, 14.

The singer and former soccer player share two sons, Sasha, 7, and Milan, 9.
Billy Ray Cyrus & Tish Cyrus
After two previous divorce filings, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus officially announced they were ending their marriage in April 2022.
"It is after 30 years, five amazing children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways — not with sadness, but with love in our hearts," the couple shared in a joint statement to People. "We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of, and it is now time to create our own paths."
The couple share three kids together, Miley, 30, Braison, 28, Noah, 22. The country singer also adopted Tish's kids from a previous relationship: Brandi, 35, and Trace, 33.
