When it comes to Hollywood, there is always some drama on the horizon. Celebrities are known for getting into relationships that may not last too long. Some are matches made in heaven, but others seem to be terrible combinations. With so much influencing their relationships — from fame and money to overworking and potential infidelity — it’s a wonder that any of them are able to stay together at all. But for the ones who end up calling it quits, you may be able to reflect back on their relationships and see that they were likely to go south no matter what. Some of these couples had some pretty big “proceed with caution” signs that they most definitely missed in the beginning. There are even instances where the public seemed to know before the celeb couples that their relationships were going nowhere fast. Check out these red flags that these pop stars’ marriages were doomed.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth
Before the two split in 2019, Cyrus and Hemsworth were on the rocks. Miley had reportedly claimed that she was “sick of men” before she even divorced Hemsworth. Not long after the divorce, she released “Wrecking Ball,” which she had implied was about her on and off history with Hemsworth.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were hot and heavy in the early 2000’s, but their relationship didn’t last beyond 2006. He started off as her backup dancer before they became involved. But many people thought it was no good from the start because of rumors that Federline was mooching off of Spears. Even an online poll suggested that the public thought she was just his meal ticket, and was not with her for genuine love.
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey
Everyone was obsessed with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey back in the 2000’s. But that ended up being a part of their undoing. They allowed the public totally into their lives through reality TV, and it started to split their relationship at the seams. Nick also started partying pretty hard as soon as things got bad.
Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey
Rumors were already floating around about problems between Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey. Even Nick Cannon opened up about how they were on the rocks before they filed for divorce in 2015. “There is trouble in paradise. We have been living in separate houses for a few months,” Cannon said.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand
These two were married in 2010 — and by 2011, there were rumors of trouble on the homefront. It was becoming clear that Perry and Brand were not on the same page anymore once they started spending a lot of time apart, and even spent the holidays away from each other.
LeAnn Rimes and Dean Sheremet
Everyone remembers LeAnn Rimes’ affair while married to husband Dean Sheremet. But there was trouble in paradise before her infidelity hit headlines. They mainly lived in different cities, and sources say that they just weren’t making the effort to remain close during that time. The interesting part is that the man she cheated on Sheremet with is now her husband, Eddie Cibrian.
Tamar Braxton and Vince Herbert
Way before the divorce papers were signed, there were serious issues within Braxton and Herbert’s relationship. Rumors were swirling of horrific abuse at the hands of Herbert. There were multiple occasions on record of Herbert violently attacking Braxton, including an incident during a hotel stay where he allegedly bit her on the hand. Braxton has since described her marriage to Herbert as a “private hell.”
