Emily Ratajkowski and Pete Davidson
It looks like cuffing season may be already over for rumoured celebrity couple Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski. While the pair sparked relationship questions back in November, Page Six reports that the flames of romance have fizzled.
“Their fling has moved into the friend zone,” a source told Page Six, while also adding that there don’t appear to be hard feelings about it, as it’s “fine with both of them.”
Despite being photographed together courtside at a New York Knicks game in November (where the model-slash-author-slash-podcaster wore the famous The North Face puffer), there have been signs that the two have moved on (Ratajkowski was seen out with artist Jack Greer and talked about being on a dating app on her podcast, while Davidson has been spotted with his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders).
And, as ET Canada reports, a source recently told ET that Ratajkowski and Davidson “have been doing their own things and were never serious.”

She shared, “We’ve been trying to do this separation without the world knowing, because it’s been a relationship that everybody has an opinion on,” adding, “We just felt something like this would really do us the benefit of not having millions of people telling us how happy they are that we’re not together. So we’ve done that.” Pugh also admitted “I automatically get a lumpy throat when I talk about it.” The pair was first spotted together in April 2019.
Kim Kardashian + Pete Davidson
After nine months of Staten Island date nights, red carpet appearances and plenty of ex-related drama, it looks like Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have called it quits on their romantic relationship.
The Kardashians star, 41, and the comedian, 28, first sparked relationship rumours in October of 2021 following her appearance on Saturday Night Live. Despite some initial public skepticism, the duo seemed to be going strong in recent months. However, while Davidson has been in Australia shooting a new movie, it seems that the two split sometime last week.
“Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends,” a source close to Kardashian shared with Page Six of the breakup, adding that, “They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.” After the news became public, it appears that Davidson is wearing his feelings, as he was spotted wearing a statement-making T-shirt, according to E!News.

Ne-Yo + Crystal Renay
Just months after saying “I do” for the second time in a lavish Las Vegas wedding ceremony in April, it looks like model Crystal Renay, 36, is “So Sick” of being married to singer Ne-Yo, 42.
As reported by PEOPLE, Renay has filed for divorce from the singer, claiming that the marriage is “irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation.” Additionally, according to the divorce documents, Renay also alleges that Ne-Yo (whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith) recently fathered a minor child with another woman.
The filing comes just days after Renay accused Ne-Yo of cheating in an Instagram post that suggested a long history of infidelity.
“8 years. 8 years of lies and deception,” Renay wrote in her recent Instragram post, according to PEOPLE. “8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and my husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected…every last one of them!”
“To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is a[n] understatement,” the post said. “To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t. I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect.”
Ne-Yo and Crystal Renay first married in 2016, but split in March 2020. The pair reconciled during the pandemic and then celebrated their marriage in April 2020 with their Vegas ceremony. The couple share three children together: sons Shaffer Jr., 6, and Roman, 3, and a 13-month-old daughter, Isabella.

Handler shared the video on Instagram anyway with the following heartfelt caption: “In anticipation of celebrating our first year together, Jo and I recorded this video early, but as many of you have noticed, it is with a heavy heart to announce that we have decided together that it is best for us to take a break from our relationship right now.” Handler added, “This man blew my heart open with love and because of him, my life experience has changed forever. To be loved and adored by @jokoy has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.” She also directed her message of gratitude towards her ex: “Jo- you blew my creativity open, my lust for working hard again, being on the road again, and you reminded me who I was and always have been, and my feet have never been more firmly planted in the ground. This is not an ending. It’s another beginning, and it’s a comfort to know that I am still loved and love this man the way the sun loves the moon and the moon loves the sun. YOUR PERSON IS COMING.”

How am I supposed to capture 12 years of love in a f–kin canned Instagram caption. What picture am I supposed to use? Is there a go-to break up font?” He continued, “Katie & I are separating. I’m not quite ready to use the ‘D’ word bc it’s too painful. Yes my heart aches but I’ll be ok. Not looking to evoke any sympathy here. I’m not the victim. Not gonna write too sad a song.” Schwartz shared that Maloney has decided to leave him despite “healthy” and “productive” conversations. “She taught me so much about love & being a better partner,” he added, “I don’t think we were ever a model couple. Maybe we are model divorcées. A dubious title I suppose,” ending with, “So I’ll shut up now and say it one last time, love you Bub. Always & forever you’ll be in my heart. On my ass? Maybe not so much.” The rumours of the couple’s split first started circling when Maloney was spotted on a girls’ night out with former co-star Stassi Schroeder not wearing her wedding band. Just one month prior the couple seemed happy, with Schwartz posting a sweet Valentine’s Day post. During the filming of the past nine seasons of Vanderpump Rules, the show documented the cast couples many ups and downs; from cheating, explosive arguments and more, but Maloney and Schwartz always seemed solid – especially in the most recent season.

Chris Pine + Annabelle Wallis
The notoriously private couple has reportedly split up after nearly four years of dating, according to multiple outlets. While the former couple hasn’t shared the reason, they were first spotted together at London’s Heathrow Airport in March 2018.

The pair never made it Instagram official, and Wallis has spoken about why she keeps her relationship private. Following from her split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, the British actor told the Sydney Morning Herald, “It’s just that when you have people in your life that you care about, you get very protective of them, and it’s not about you any more, it’s about other people, and the ones you love are the ones you protect like a lioness.”

Cheryl Burke + Matthew Lawrence
Dancing With The Stars alum Cheryl Burke, 37, is splitting from husband and Boy Meets World actor Matthew Lawrence, 42. Burke shared the news on her Instagram saying the pair are divorcing. “I know I have always said that I’m an open book with you guys, I do strive to be, and in writing this I’ve realized there isn’t really an easy way to announce that my marriage is ending.” She added, “I hope you can understand that I will not be commenting any further at this time and am asking for understanding and privacy. Thank you all for all the kind words & support you’ve given me – love you all.” The pair met in 2006 where Lawrence’s older brother Joey (of Blossom fame) was competing on the ABC dance competition series. They dated for a year before going their separate ways, and before ultimately reconnecting in 2017. The two got engaged in 2018, after a year of dating. According to People, Burke filed for divorce in January, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason, while the papers also revealed that the pair have a prenuptial agreement in place.

Shailene Woodley + Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Roders and Shailene Woodley are no longer engaged. Well this may come as no surprise to some, but it seems that “agreeing to disagree” has its limits. While the couple reportedly opted not to debate issues they don’t see eye to eye on (politics, for example), in the end, their differences simply became insurmountable, a source close to Rodgers shared with People. The pair’s split is amicable, but we can’t help but wonder if the split is the result of diverging core values on big issues; the NFL player caught media flack back in November for not being vaccinated and catching Covid, despite previous claims that he was “immunized.” The Big Little Lies star and Green Bay quarterback first publicly shared news of their engagement a little over a year ago, following a whirl-wind romance; the engagement came just a few short months after Rodger’s split from NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, who he dated for two years. Prior to that, he’s been linked to actor Olivia Munn.

The split took the world by surprise when Momoa revealed the news via Instagram on Jan. 12. “We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring,” he wrote in a statement signed by both himself and Bonet. “And so we share our Family news that we are parting ways in marriage.” They also wrote that they still had love for each other, and would remain devoted to their children. The couple share two kids.
The duo first started dating back in 2005, and welcomed their first child two years later in 2007. They tied the knot in 2017. Momoa has admitted in interviews that he had a crush on Bonet since he was young. “Ever since I was like, eight years old and I saw her on the TV, I was like, ‘Mommy, I want that one,'” he told James Corden on The Late Late Show in 2017.
