While Hollywood has seen the greatest love stories and happily ever afters unfold in movies and TV, it seems that behind the cameras and the limelight, it has also seen a lot of heartbreaks, broken relationships, and split-ups.
Movies have shown how great love can last even longer than a lifetime, but the stars that played in some of these movies have also proven that this is not always the case. Hollywood has seen many celebrities who have fallen in love with each other, in what seemed to be a fairytale end, and not with happy endings.
Here are some of the biggest and controversial celebrity break-ups of the decade.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking break-ups to ever happen in Hollywood is when Brangelina decided to call it quits. Arguably the decade's most famous couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie flooded headlines when they decided to end their relationship in 2016.
According to The Sun, an altercation inside a private plane between one of their six kids and Brad prompted Angelina to file for a divorce. Despite calling it quits in 2016, Brad and Angelina were only declared legally single in 2019, after draggy negotiations about the divorce and even a battle of custody over their kids.
