Say It Ain’t So! Celebrities Who Split in 2022
Broken hearts but moving forward! Many celebrity couples announced breakups and split from their significant others in 2022.
One of the biggest breakups of the year was between Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson. After sparking romance rumors in October 2021, the unlikely duo became a fan-favorite couple. However, their love wasn’t meant to last and they split in August.
Kim and Pete’s romance “great while it lasted, but unfortunately, it was never going to be a forever-love affair,” an insider exclusively told In Touch at the time.
Another Kardashian-Jenner couple to call it quits in 2022 was Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker, who dated on and off for two years before breaking up for good in November. “Things are amicable after the breakup, there’s no bad blood between them,” a source told Us Weekly at the time.
Several celebrities went through more than one breakup during the year. Kanye West ended his whirlwind romance with Julia Fox in February, while he later moved on with Chaney Jones before they split in June.
Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet split in January after four years of marriage. The Aquaman actor later started dating Eiza González in February, though the pair broke up in June.
Meanwhile, Jojo Siwa announced her split from Kylie Prew in August 2022. The Dance Moms alum moved on with Avery Cyrus in September before she confirmed they called it quits in December. “We decided that we are better off as friends! We are both so young and still just trying to figure our stuff out,” Jojo shared via TikTok on December 17.
Other celebrities kicked off 2022 with breakups, including Chris Olsen and Ian Paget.
During the first week of the year, TikTok fan-favorites Chris and Ian announced their breakup on January 7 to their fans. “Not an end, just a shift!” Chris said via TikTok. “We love you forever.”
Four days later, the former couple opened up about what led to their split – fame.
“Being in the public eye the way that we’ve been through these last like year and a half, two years, is wild,” Ian said in a joint YouTube video posted on January 11. “For now, we’ve just decided that it would probably be in our best interest to be moving through the world unromantically.”
Despite the glum news, Ian expressed his and Chris’ support for their fans. “We want you guys to be OK,” he added. “And we just wanted you guys to know, just because we’re not together in a romantic relationship doesn’t mean that we can’t work on a very meaningful, deep connection and relationship.”
Ian even mentioned he “will always love this human so much,” referring to Chris in the video.
And even though Impractical Jokers alum Joe Gatto announced his split from wife Bessy Gatto on the last day of 2021, the duo’s sudden breakup poured over into 2022 as fans were shocked at the news. While Joe announced the split in his post regarding his exit from the TruTV comedy show, his estranged wife also shared a statement to her own Instagram account that day.
“With love and respect, we have decided to separate,” Bessy wrote via Instagram on December 31, 2021. “Although we will no longer be a couple, we will always be a family to our beautiful kids and we look forward to co-parenting together. We ask that you please respect our privacy as we navigate this new chapter together.”
