Love, heartbreak, marriage, and divorce: these are all things we see or have happened to in life. We love love and happy marriages, and our heart breaks when divorce comes around. Many times, divorces are for good reason, but it doesn’t make it any less sad. Celebrity couples are no strangers to the highs and lows of relationships, and Hollywood is filled with heartbreaking divorce stories. Every year, so many of our favorite couples call it quits, divorce, and or end up in a seriously messy divorce proceeding (yes, we’re talking about Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner).
Per Forbes, half of all marriages end in divorce, but the divorce rate has still declined from 4.0 to 2.5 since 2000. Successful Hollywood marriages are a rarity, but you know what’s even more rare? Celebrity couples who rescind their divorce proceedings.
Some couples file for divorce once and months later, they get back together (and never look back). However, there are also quite a few who have filed and rescinded their proceedings multiple times throughout their marriages.
From messy, divorced couples who filed numerous times, like Talulah Riley and Elon Musk, and Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus, to ones who did it once and rescinded months later like Shante Broadus and Snoop Dogg, there are way more couples like this than you may think.
Check out which celeb couples called off their divorces and separations below.
