14 Ex-Celeb Couples Who Called Off Engagements
Celebrity breakups can be sad, messy, and straight-up chaotic. But celebrity engagement breakups? That's next-level tragic. These 14 couples were thissss close to tying the knot, but never made it to the altar. Here are some of the most iconic, surprising, and totally unexpected celeb pairs who almost said 'I do'...then didn't: Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney These two first crossed paths on the set of Gaga's "Yoü And I" music video — the one with mermaids, electrocution, and Gaga kissing herself? Yes, that one. In 2015, Kinney popped the question on Valentine's Day with a heart-shaped ring. The pair split the following year due to the all-too-familiar 'long-distance and complicated schedules.' Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland Talk about a wedding disaster. Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland got engaged in 1990, but broke up just three days before the wedding. The twist? Julia hopped on a plane to Ireland with Kiefer's best friend, Jason Patric. Yes, really. Peak tabloid era insanity. Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morissette This Canadian power couple was engaged from 2004 to 2007, and are one of the more unexpected pairings in pop culture history. They announced their separation in 2007 with zero drama, but Morissette later gave us a few emotional tracks fans suspect are about him on her album Flavors of Entanglement. Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson Remember 2018? The year of 'God is a woman,' and a pop culture fever dream of an engagement. The two started dating, got tattoos for each other, moved in together, and got engaged all within one month. Then, just as quickly as it started, it was over. It was chaotic, and gave us Sweetener, so honestly…no notes. Katie Holmes and Chris Klein Before there was Tom and Katie, there was Katie and Chris. The pair got engaged in 2003 after five years of dating, but quietly called it off in early 2005. A few months later, Katie was dating you-know-who (Tom Cruise, in case you hadn't figured that one out yet). Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich Quarantine relationships move fast — and wow, did this one fly. Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich were briefly engaged in July 2020 after a few months of dating, complete with a romantic Malibu beach proposal. By September it was publicly. Max went on social media rants, and Demi announced she wanted "nothing to do with him." What beautiful tragedies lockdown brought us. Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt These '90s icons began dating after playing lovers in the crime thriller Seven — and yeah, we all know how that one ended. They eventually got engaged in 1996, but called it off just a year later. Still, no bad blood! Gwyneth later said she was 'not ready' for marriage at the time. Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz One of the more recent (and tragic) heartbreaks on this list. This impossibly attractive duo got together after working on Blink Twice in 2021, and by 2023, Zoë was spotted with a ring on her finger. While they never confirmed the proposal publicly, sources said wedding plans were underway. But by early 2024, it was the end for Tatum and Kravitz — and yes, Channing has already moved on. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Ah, the original Bennifer. They postponed their 2003 wedding due to 'excessive media attention,' only to call it off entirely. Then came the plot twist: nearly 20 years later, they reunited, and actually married in 2022. Buttttttt then…they split again, with an official divorce! Is this really the end of Bennifer? Only time can tell. Sienna Miller and Jude Law Sienna Miller and Jude Law were everyone's fav 'it' couple of the early 2000s. They got engaged on Christmas Day in 2004, but things fell apart in 2006 after a huge scandal involving Jude and his kids' nanny. They tried again in 2009, but eventually ended things for good. A holiday engagement, a nanny affair, a reunion, and a dramatic downfall — this one had it all. Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen This millennial dream couple first met on the set of Jumper in 2007 and got engaged the next year. After a brief breakup in 2010, they reunited and even had a daughter together. But by 2017, it was officially over. RIP to Anakin Skywalker and Summer Roberts. Mark Ronson and Rashida Jones Music legend + TV legend = a very cool couple that didn't quite make it down the aisle. Mark proposed in 2003, but the engagement fizzled out about a year later. Sandra Bullock and Tate Donovan Before she was America's sweetheart, Sandra Bullock was engaged to her Love Potion No.9 co-star Tate Donovan. They dated for about three years in the '90s and even got engaged — but called it off before saying their 'I do's.' A true rom-com that didn't get its happy ending. Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards These two met on The X Factor, got engaged in 2013, and broke up two years later. Initially, there was a rumour the breakup happened over text, but Zayn denied it. The breakup was very public, and kinda iconic…mostly because fans suspect it inspired some of Little Mix's absolute best songs. Did we miss any big heartbreaks? Got thoughts on these iconic couples?

Pete Davidson wants ex-fiancee Ariana Grande to win Oscar for 'Wicked'
Comedian and actor Pete Davidson cheered for ex-fiancee Ariana Grande this awards season and said that he would like to see her win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. He talked about his previous relationship with Grande whom he had been with and even engaged to for four months in 2018, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "When we see each other, which is few and far between, because we're not in the same circles, it's all love," he said. He then added that he would like to see her win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, for which she's nominated for playing Glinda in Jon M. Chu's Wicked. "I hope she wins the Oscar; I hope she takes the gold," said Davidson, adding, "I've had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women, and when it's ended, it's been cool." Following their breakup in October 2018, Davidson dated Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, Margaret Qualley, Kim Kardashian, Chase Sui Wonders, and Madelyn Cline. Meanwhile, Grande married Dalton Gomez in 2021, and the couple split in 2024. She's currently dating her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater. The King of Staten Island star shared that getting so much attention for the high-profile women he's dated has been "humiliating" and "upsetting". "Everyone is dating everyone and it's Hollywood. Look at Paul Mescal, Timmy [Chalamet], Barry Keough. But because I'm ugly, they wrote about me," he continued. "I was harassed for like five years and it made my life a living hell." While Davidson and Grande were together, Grande wrote the track Pete Davidson off her album Sweetener. A month after they ended their relationship, the Grammy-winner mentioned him along with her other exes in the hit song Thank u, next.

Pete Davidson supports ex fiancée Ariana Grande's Oscar nod: "I hope she wins"
Pete Davidson recently opened up about his brief yet highly publicized romance with Ariana Grande, which began in the spring of 2018, led to an engagement by June, and ended in October of the same year. Now, years later in an interview for Page Six, the SNL alum says things between them are in a good place. 'When we see each other, which is few and far between, because we're not in the same circles, it's all love,' he shared. Davidson also expressed his excitement for Grande's Wicked Oscar nomination, adding, 'I hope she wins the Oscar, I hope she takes the gold.' Reflecting on his past relationships, he noted, 'I've had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women, and when it's ended, it's been cool.' Davidson also reflected on how his high-profile relationships—including his whirlwind 2018 romance with Grande—often overshadowed his career. 'Everyone is dating everyone in Hollywood… but because I'm ugly, they wrote about me. It made my life a living hell,' he shared, adding that the intense scrutiny was 'pretty humiliating and upsetting". During their whirlwind relationship, Davidson got four tattoos dedicated to Grande, while she wrote the song ' Pete Davidson' for her Sweetener album. With SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration set to air on February 16, Davidson is focusing on his career and moving forward, steering away from the tabloid-fueled attention that once defined his public image.

Ariana Grande Recalls 'Dealing with PTSD' Plus 'Grief,' 'Depression and Anxiety' in 'Sweetener' and 'Thank U, Next 'Eras
The process of making Sweetener and Thank U, Next was an emotionally taxing time for Ariana Grande. In a new interview on the Feb. 3 episode of the Hollywood Reporter podcast Awards Chatter, the Grammy-winning singer and Oscar-nominated actress opened up about experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, grief, depression and anxiety while making the back-to-back albums. Sweetener was released in August 2018 and marked Grande's first project following the 2017 bombing at the Manchester stop of her Dangerous Woman Tour that killed 22 people and injured hundreds of others. Less than one month after the album came out, the Wicked star's ex-boyfriend Mac Miller died of an accidental drug overdose. Related: Ariana Grande Makes Generous Christmas Donation to Children at Manchester Hospitals 7 Years After Tragedy Grande then made the bulk of Thank U, Next in about two weeks and released the album in February 2019, something she "needed" to do at the time. "I was doing so much therapy, and I was dealing with PTSD and all different kinds of grief and depression and anxiety. And, I was, of course, treating it very seriously, but having music be a part of that remedy was absolutely contributing to saving my life," she said on the podcast. "They were dark times, and the music brought so much levity and so did the experience. But it poured out with urgency, and it was made with urgency, and it was a means of survival," she added. While the "God Is a Woman" musician said her record label "understood" the need to make more music, the company was "hesitant" to move on from Sweetener "so quickly because at the time that wasn't really something that people did." "Unless it was rap music or hip-hop, it wasn't really a commonly done thing," explained Grande. "And I just said, 'I don't really care about the formula. I don't really want to play by the rules at this moment because this is what I need from my soul.'" She continued, "It felt really healing and freeing. It was just such a beautiful moment of connection." Related: Ariana Grande Says She's 'Missing a Few Years' from Initial Stint of Pop Stardom: 'I'm Super Serious' Maintaining a deep connection with fans has "been one of the most beautiful pieces of the puzzle" throughout Grande's career, she told Awards Chatter. "Like, meeting waiters at a restaurant who will tell me that they felt like they had a big sister in me because they didn't have a sister growing up, and they're gay, and they have felt like I was their sister, and they could come out because I was there and made a silly song," she said. "It's just really beautiful, and I carry that with me," added Grande. Read the original article on People
