After a whirlwind year for the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star and her NBA player husband, Khloe Kardashian finally filed for divorce on Dec. 13, 2013, following months of allegations of both infidelity and drug abuse swirling around her husband, according to TMZ.

The couple married in September 2009 after a whirlwind one-month courtship. Kardashian cited “irreconcilable differences” in the filing and asked that the “Odom” be removed from her legal name, seeking no spousal support and requesting that he seek none from her.

Also in 2013, Kardashian’s mother Kris Jenner and stepdad Bruce Jenner announced that they had separated, and sister Kim Kardashian finalized her year-and-a-half divorce from basketball player Kris Humphries.

After Miley Cyrus unfollowed Liam Hemsworth on Twitter in September, it was only a matter of time: The two officially called off their engagement.

The pair met while making the movie “The Last Song” in 2010 and got engaged in May 2012, but their relationship was reportedly on the rocks for most of 2013 amid rumors of infidelity and Cyrus being spotted without her engagement ring.

The “Wrecking Ball” singer was enjoying quite a bit of time in the spotlight after her controversial performance at the MTV VMAs in August; however, soon after the split was announced rumors surfaced that the “The Hunger Games” star was already seeing another woman and Cyrus was getting cozy with one of her record producers.

“I’m just letting that chapter kind of close and just looking forward to that new one,” Cyrus told Ellen DeGeneres in October, following the split.. “I want to be really clear and determined with everything I’m doing in my life right now, and I have been .... I keep saying I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and that’s not even a dig.”

Rachel Uchitel’s 2011 Las Vegas wedding may have been under the radar, but word of her impending divorce made some headlines.

The woman who first gained fame as Tiger Woods’ mistress “is ending her marriage of less than two years to insurance executive and former Penn State fullback Matt Hahn,” a rep for the “Celebrity Rehab” alum said. “It is Ms. Uchitel’s goal to resolve this action amicably, quickly and quietly and not in the media.”

Hahn reportedly filed for divorce, citing “cruel and inhuman treatment” and asking for custody of their 1-year-old daughter, Wyatt, plus child support and spousal support.

“Suburgatory” star Jane Levy filed for divorce in April to end her short-lived marriage to actor Jaime Freitas.
The actress, 23, who plays a sharp-witted New York City teen transplanted to the suburbs on the ABC comedy series, filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. She indicated that she did not want to pay spousal support, according to court papers.

The “Shameless” alum hasn’t really spoken publicly about their marriage but the documents say that they wed on March 3, 2011, and separated on October 31, 2011 -- which means their separation lasted more than twice as long as the seven months they were together in their under-the-radar marriage.

Turns out that was actually the day the 36-year-old singer filed for divorce, it was revealed three days later.

Aldean had strayed in October 2012 when he was caught on camera acting “inappropriately at a bar” with Brittany Kerr, an “American Idol” contestant-turned-NBA cheerleader. The couple has two daughters, ages 5 and 10.

Seth MacFarlane and Emilia Clarke reportedly ended their relationship in March.

Distance was to blame for the split between the Oscar host, 39, and the “Game of Thrones” actress, 25. The pair stepped out around the time of the Emmy Awards in September 2012, and were photographed together frequently afterward.

We couldn’t help but wonder if the dragon mother was peeved that he didn’t include her in his Oscar musical flop “We Saw Your Boobs,” since she’s frequently been topless on her HBO series. But, you know, being neglected in that way is probably something most women would actually prefer, and technically, HBO still ain’t the movies.

Katy Perry and John Mayer have flipped their on-off switch to off once again.

Though multiple sources fueled reports in mid-March, those voices seemed to be saying the breakup might not be as final as all that.

It appears to be work that drove the split, with Mayer readying for a tour after struggling with vocal problems for the better part of two years and the former Mrs. Russell Brand working on her third studio album. The two had been dating for about seven months since a brief break in August 2012. They’d dated casually for a bit before that. But in June, the couple was very much back on and even recorded a duet, “Who You Love,” together.

Michelle Williams and Jason Segel have broken up, calling it quits early in February. Distance seemed to be the culprit.

She of “Oz the Great and Powerful” lives in Brooklyn with her 7-year-old daughter Matilda, whom Williams had with the late Heath Ledger. Segel, who is one of the stars of the CBS series “How I Met Your Mother,” primarily resides in Los Angeles, where the comedy films.

The couple began dating in March 2012 and kept a relatively low profile throughout their relationship. They are said to have been introduced by Williams’ good friend and “Dawson’s Creek” costar Busy Philipps, who was also on “Freaks and Geeks” with Segel.

British model and actress Liberty Ross on Jan. 25 filed for divorce from Rupert Sanders, the “Snow White and the Huntsman” director who infamously cheated on her last summer with actress Kristen Stewart.

She was asking for joint custody of their 5- and 7-year-old children, spousal support and attorney’s fees, according to court documents. Sanders, who filed his response the same day she filed her petition, also was seeking joint custody but wanted to share the legal fees.

What Stewart called a “momentary indiscretion” with Sanders — pictures of which appeared more than momentarily all over the Internet — happened back in July 2012.

Both parties publicly apologized at the time, with Sanders, now 42, saying in a statement to People, “I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together.”

Britney Spears announced on Jan. 11 that she and Jason Trawick were breaking off their engagement after only one year.

Added Trawick, her onetime agent who’d popped the question back in December 2011: “I love and cherish her and her boys and we will be close forever.”

Spears has two sons, 7-year-old Preston and 6-year-old Jayden, from her marriage to Kevin Federline.

Ah, the fickle heart of Taylor Swift: The singer and One Direction boy-bander Harry Styles are a couple no more.

The relationship — which had been public for only a month or so, though the pair were spotted flirting backstage at “The X Factor” in mid-November — came to an end just after the new year with Swift, 23, flying home alone only three days into their vacation in the British Virgin Islands. The two reportedly met in March at the Kids’ Choice Awards.

“They were on holiday and had an almighty row,” a source told the Daily Mail, confirming they’d split up. “They are two young stars at the top of their game so who knows what will happen in the future.”

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr announced last week they had separated after three years of marriage, and “The Hobbit” actor is touching upon the results of their seemingly amicable split.

“We love each other. We’re a family,” Bloom said on “Katie” in an interview airing Friday. “We’re going to be in each other’s lives for the rest of our lives. There’s no question, for the sake of our son and everything else, we’re going to support one another and love each other as parents to Flynn.”

The British actor, 36, and Aussie supermodel, 30, married in July 2010. Kerr gave birth to their first child, a son named Flynn, on Jan. 6, 2011.

“Life sometimes doesn’t work out exactly as we plan or hope for, but fortunately, we’re both adults,” Bloom continued. “I’m 36 now, she’s 30, and we’re professionals, and we love and care about each other, and we most of all love our son.”

The comely couple announced on Oct. 24 via E! News that they had split.

“They have been amicably separated for the past few months,” they said in a joint statement. “After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation. Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family.”

TMZ caught up with the actor that day and he spoke fondly of his wife.

“We’re family. We’re not friends. We’re family,” he told the site, though he wouldn’t reveal the reason for the split, simply saying, “Life’s a mystery. Things don’t always work out the way you want them.”

That seems to be the case, according to the New York Daily News, which obtained photos of the couple strolling together in Central Park on Saturday, just after news of the split broke.

Bloom, who is starring in the Broadway revival of “Romeo & Juliet,” was seen walking arm in arm with Kerr as they left Amaranth restaurant in Manhattan and he later gave her a friendly kiss, the newspaper said.
