Over six months in, 2023 has been quite the year in the realm of Hollywood break-ups. July 17th alone went down in pop-culture history as the day both Ariana Grande and Sofia Vergara announced their respective divorces within hours of each other.
From whirlwind romances that came to a quick crash, to messy legal battles (looking at you, Kevin Costner) and splits we never saw coming (Swifties are still recovering), there has been no shortage of surprises when it comes to celebrity splits this year.
Below, scroll and look back on some of the Hollywood couples that have called it quits... so far.

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez (2020-2023)
Ariana and Dalton reportedly separated early in 2023, though news of their split first broke on July 17, and they have yet to address it themselves.
The pop superstar (whose famous, sung-about exes include Pete Davidson and the late Mac Miller) and real estate broker first started dating in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and tied the knot with an intimate ceremony in front of approximately 20 people in their Montecito home, in 2021.

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn (2016-2023)

Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval (2014-2023)

The scandal, or rather, "Scandoval," and the subsequent downfall of Tom and Rachel was portrayed in several explosive episodes of their reality show, and three live reunions, and so was Ariana's quick ascent into more fame, and her brand deals galore.
