Jennifer had said that she was shocked when she saw Brad and Angelina on vacation together, while they were still technically married. Though the Friends star cited “irreconcilable differences” as a reason for their divorce, the reason was obviously Brad’s extra-marital affair with Angelina. Angelina had denied that there was any infidelity, but was pictured with Brad in Kenya, just a month after the divorce was filed by Jennifer. And Brad admitted that he fell in love with Angelina, on the sets of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, while he was still a married man. Although his marriage to Angelina did not last, Brangelina went on to become Hollywood’s most influential power couple.

9Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian

Possibly the most tumultuous Kardashian relationship ever - Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick’s relationship has been so rocky, their fans were relieved when they split up. They have been together for a decade and have three children together, but never married and were constantly fighting with each other.

One of the primary reasons of their split was of course, Scott’s lifestyle. Scott would not give up excessive partying or casual flings with women, and Kourtney was sick of it. The two decided to call it quits, and though they see each other on family get-togethers, they do not share an entirely cordial relationship.
