As we got later in later into 2017, it became clear that it was officially the year that love died. A ridiculous amount of celebrity couples called it quits from the few-monthers to the famous folk who had been married for years.

So feel free to read this while we SOB our eyes out….

CHECK OUT THE CELEB EXES WHO HAD MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA BEEF AFTER THEY SPLIT...

1. Kylie Jenner and Tyga

After two years together, the couple split in April because Kylie felt she was ‘too young’ to be in such a serious relationship. She admitted on Life Of Kylie that “there was no crazy fight” and they split amicably.

2. Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs

The pair got engaged in March 2015, but after over two years together decided to call it quits. According to sources it was down to the amount of time they had spent apart due to their jobs. But the same source also says they might get back together so fingers crossed. Knowledgeable source eh?

3. Anna Faris and Chris Pratt

In one of the most heart-breaking splits of the year, Anna and Chris called time on their eight-year marriage in August. Many sources said the split was due to Chris’ quick rise to mega-fame and how hard Anna handled how much he was away and all the attention he received but she said: “Chris and I are really great friends. I think that we always will be.” WAH.

4. Fergie and Josh Duhamel

At the beginning of September, Fergie had been raving about her sex life on a radio interview but just six days later Josh announced they were getting a divorce after 13-years of marriage.

5. Aaron Chalmers and Lauren Pope

After just a few months of dating the reality pair split in January amid rumours of a huge fight while on holiday. But the pair denied this was the case and insisted they had just had ‘petty arguments’ during their time together.

6. Phoebe Tonkin and Paul Wesley

The Vampire Diaries co-stars dated for four years after meeting on set, but called time on their love in March. A source told E! News that the relationship “just ran its course”.

7. Audrina Patridge and Corey Bohan

The Hills star filed for divorce after just 10 months of marriage in September, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ after an alleged violent outburst from her husband. She also filed for temporary restraining and child abduction prevention orders against him.

8. Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson

They’ve had a few on/off splits in their relationship but in September, Rachel and her love of 10 years, ended things for good. They originally met on the set of 2007’s Jumper, getting engaged in 2008 but calling it off in 2010. After a short split they got back together and had their daughter in 2014.

9. Sarah Hyland and Dominic Sherwood

Modern Family star Sarah met Shadowhunters actor Dominic on the set of the 2014’s Vampire Academy and the pair dated for over two years before they called time on the romance in August. Boooo.

10. Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor

Well love truly is dead. Ben and wife Christine announced in May that they were splitting after 17 years of marriage. They told ET: “With tremendous love and respect for each other, and the 18 years we spent together as a couple, we have made the decision to separate. Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends.” GUTTED.

11. Charlotte Crosby and Stephen Bear

After nine months together, the Just Tattoo of Us pair decided it was time to go their separate ways. After two other splits, Charlotte took to Twitter to accuse Stephen of cheating on her. He denied the allegations and hit back that they had already broken up and he could do what he wanted. Yikes.

12. Mel B and Stephen Belafonte

After a ten-year marriage, Mel B filed for divorce, in March, during a very messy split from her producer husband. Following the announcement that the pair were splitting The Sun revealed that the couple had been involved in a threesome with Lady Victoria Hervey. Mel then obtained a court order that blocked her estranged husband from selling any sex tapes they had made and blocked her bank accounts from him. She also accused him of having an affair with their nanny and was granted a restraining order after she claimed her physically abused her.

13. Tiff Watson and Sam Thompson

Instagram

After the couple took their infamous ‘break’ from their relationship, a pact to be single before getting back together and getting serious, things didn’t quite go to plan. Funnily enough, they didn’t find it as easy as they thought to turn a blind eye to the other playing the field and called time on their relationship for good in the Summer, during the filming of Made In Chelsea: Ibiza.

14. Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks

After a rocky road, Pegan called it quits for the fourth time in October amidst rumours of Megan cheating with her ex-boyfriend. TOWIE fans saw her deny this and claimed she had slept with him during one of her breaks with Pete. RIP.

15. Lauren Goodger and Joey Morrison

Instagram

After months of rumours, Lauren admitted that she had split of her boyfriend of a year in September. She said on Instagram: “There's been a lot of speculation and claims recently about me and Joey about my weight and our relationship. We haven't been together for a few months now and I haven't said anything until now as I don't have to explain my every move and should be allowed to deal with things in my own time.” The pair had been spotted having a fight inside the prison where Joey is serving a sentence for possession of a firearm, kidnap and blackmail, since 2008.

16. Jesy Nelson and Chris Clark

After making their relationship Insta official in February, it was all over by April. Chris admitted to OK! that he “always felt second best” and that he was “just someone from TOWIE”. He said: “Our relationship came at a difficult time, because the band were touring America, so we mostly spoke on the phone. She was only in my life for about three months.”

17. Marnie Simpson and Lewis Bloor

After finding out Lewis had cheated on her on Valentine’s Day, Marnie called it a day with Lewis. The month after the pair were spotted on holiday together but they weren’t able to make it work.

18. Katie Price and Kieran Hayler

After his 2014 affair with Katie’s friend, while his wife was pregnant, the couple tried to make it work. But in 2017 she discovered that he was having an further affair with the children’s nanny. In August she announced she had filed for divorce.

19. Holly Hagan and Kyle Christie

We all saw Holly leave Geordie Shore to try and make it work with her ex-boyfriend Kyle and the pair looked well loved up while travelling the world. But after a disastrous tattoo experience on Just Tattoo of Us, the pair called it a day. Holly revealed: “Holly said: “Kyle and I split a few weeks ago amicably. Nobody had done anything wrong and it’s certainly not because of the tattoo.”

20. Selena Gomez and The Weeknd

As the news that Selena has rekindled a friendship with her ex Justin Bieber broke, it was revealed that she also split from her boyfriend of 10 months, the Weeknd. It does seem coincidental timing but sources claim that The Weeknd was fine with her reunion with the Biebs.

Now check out the celeb exes who had major social media beef after they split...
