15 Celebrity Breakups That Happened Over The Summer

Like us on FB:

It seems like a lot of celebrity couples called it quits over the summer. Just like “ordinary” people, celebrities often don’t get their happy endings. Some of these couples have been dating or even married for years but due to a sudden turn of events, they realized they’re better off without each other.

Most of these celeb breakups were shocking while some were already expected. Some took to the court for settlements while others were mutual decisions. Take a look below at these celebrity breakups over the summer.

1. Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris (and now Tom Hiddleston too – so technically 16 breakups)

We all expected some of these. Some were quite the surprise, however. It just serves to remind us that you never really know what’s going on in someone else’s relationship, as despite how happy they may appear on the outside.
