Where did it all go wrong?! Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth announced their separation in August 2019, just a few months after tying the knot. And they are not the only newlyweds to call it quits within a year of marriage; from Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries to Britney Spears and Jason Alexander, look back at some more celebrity couples who didn’t reach their first wedding anniversary…or even past their wedding night!

Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus: 8 months

Miley Cyrus confirmed in August that she and her husband Liam Hemsworth were spending some time apart to "focus on themselves". The couple’s separation comes just eight months after they tied the knot in a low-key ceremony at their home in Nashville, and follows a ten year on-off relationship.
