All The Biggest Celebrity Breakups of 2018
It's been a long year, you probably forgot a lot of these splits even happened.
It's been a year full of surprising celebrity engagements, weddings, and sadly, breakups. From Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's unexpected divorce announcement to the end of Cassie and Diddy's 10-year relationship and a whirlwind engagement between Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson, 2018 delivered a series of A-list splits we're still not over. As the year comes to an end, take a look back at all the biggest celebrity breakups.
Cardi B and Offset
Cardi B announced her split from Offset in an Instagram video shared on December 5th. In the short clip, the rapper said that the couple decided to go their separate ways, but will still work together to be good parents to their baby daughter, Kulture. Just a few days later, the Migos rapper took to Twitter to share that he "missed Cardi" after she changed her "Motorsport" lyrics to "I told him the other day/Yeah, we gon' get a divorce," during a live performance.
Paris Hilton and Chris Zylka

Cassie and Diddy
After nearly 10 years together, Cassie and Diddy called it quits this year. Although neither has publicly commented on the breakup, Cassie's representative released a statement in October confirming the split, "They are indeed no longer together and haven't been for months."
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson
The romance of the year only last a few short months. Ariana and Pete first met on the set of Saturday Night Live in 2016, but started their romance in May 2018. Shortly after, they announced their engagement, but called it off only 4 months later—which resulted in her hit song “Thank U, Next.”
Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus
Affleck and his girlfriend of one year split in August after she reportedly couldn't handle his addiction issues. “It was very hard for her to break up with Ben, but she knew he wasn’t getting better and that it was time for her to step aside,” a source told People.
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan
One of the most surprising and devastating breakups of the year, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan announced their split on Instagram in early April—and the world hasn't stopped crying since. Both have reportedly moved onto other relationships, with Channing confirmed to be dating singer Jessie J.

In summer 2018, their split became headline news when Younes began commenting shady things on Kourtney’s photos, and was seen getting cozy with other girls.
Halsey and G-Eazy
G-Eazy and Halsey have been on again, off again since 2017. The couple first called in quits back in July. “G-Eazy and I are taking some time apart,” Halsey wrote on Instagram. They reconciled a few months later, but split again for good in October.
