2023 was filled with celebrity divorces we never saw coming, like SofÃa Vergara and Joe Manganiello, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth and Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Jackman, and other splits that took us totally by surprise, like Lupita Nyong’o and Selema Masekela and RosalÃa and Rauw Alejandro, celebrities were breaking things off left and right last year.
And while many of us continue to work through some of these splits (we counted at least 70 of them!), 2024 is already another year of celebrity splits. Days into the new year, we got news of two celebrity divorces when AJ McLean announced he and his wife Rochelle were ending their 11-year marriage shortly before former The Bachelorette stars Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo also filed for divorce.
But the stars didn’t stop there and since then several more split — in relationships long and short — have been revealed.

On Aug. 27, Us Weekly reported that The Valley star Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce from Jax Taylor, six months after they annouced their separation.
The Vanderpump Rules stars married in 2019 and share a 3-year-old son, Cruz.

Cartwright first announced the split on the pair’s joint podcast When Reality Hits.
“Many of you guys have been asking me about Jax and I and our relationship,” she began. “I just think it’s important to be real and honest with you guys because our life is definitely — we’ve shared so much of our life with you guys. So, I feel like … I don’t want to seem like I’m lying or anything like that so I think it’s important for me to say this.”
“I know on my last podcast, I alluded to many marriages go through rocky times,” she continued. “Yes, marriages in general are very hard and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year. Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.”
“I’m taking one day at a time,” she added. “I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz and I love you guys. Pray for us and everything will be just fine. We’re good.”
