In a stunning start to 2026, the celebrity world is buzzing with breakup news that’s almost too juicy to handle. Bill Hader and Ali Wong, a couple that charmed fans for two years, decided to part ways, reportedly due to their hectic schedules. Just when we were ready to buy them matching mugs, it seems love couldn’t keep pace with their busy careers.

On the heels of that revelation came another surprising announcement from Kelly Bensimon. She took to her podcast to share that an unnamed boyfriend didn’t quite measure up when the going got tough, leading to their split. Listening to her recount how he couldn’t “show up” highlights just how critical support is in a relationship, especially in the limelight.

And if celebrity couples thought they were immune to the storm, TikToker Kristy Scott filed for divorce from her husband, Desmond Scott, after a dozen years of marriage, citing alleged infidelity as a substantial issue. Desmond’s Instagram apology came as a wake-up call to audiences about the gritty reality behind the polished facades of social media stars. Seems like this year, love is as fleeting as a viral TikTok trend!
