Top 10 Celebrity Relationship Flameouts

Here are you the list of Top 10 Celebrity Relationship Flameouts Till date:
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, 2011
One of the world's most famous couples is no more. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have announced that they're "amicably separating," with the news breaking just two weeks after their 25th wedding anniversary and four months after Schwarzenegger left his job as California governor. Despite the unlikely union — with her Democratic roots and his Republican views — the news will still come as a shock to many. That said, Shriver wasn't wearing her wedding band in a recent video posted on YouTube.


Courteney Cox and David Arquette, 2010

Courteney Cox and David Arquette have a marriage that defies Hollywood. Or rather, they used to. After 11 years of matrimony, the couple announced on Oct. 11, 2010, that they were undergoing a "trial separation." If the separation becomes permanent, things could get complicated for Cox and Arquette, who have been joint business partners ever since they formed Coquette Productions in 2004. (The company is behind Cox's hit show Cougar Town.)

Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, 2007

The Baldwin-Basinger split didn't seem too bad at first: when the couple filed for divorce in 2001 after eight years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences, friends said the split was "amicable." That proved overly optimistic after Baldwin was caught on tape in 2007 calling the couple's 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, a "rude, thoughtless little pig." Baldwin (who later apologized) blamed the leak on Basinger, with whom he was locked in a heated custody battle. His spokesman issued a statement saying that "everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years." By 2008, so did the rest of America: in his book A Promise to Ourselves, Baldwin slams the family-court system and his ex-wife, whom he accuses of doing everything she could to twist his relationship with their daughter.
The next few years saw an endless stream of tabloid stories about a brokenhearted Aniston, who reportedly ran from man to man, still distraught over her ex-husband. Most of those tear-stained reports were never verified. Aniston and Pitt did keep their distance, however. In fact, their appearance at a Haiti earthquake relief telethon on Jan. 22, 2010, was only the second time the former spouses had been seen at the same event since their breakup.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, 2002

A pop star relationship gone wrong is only as good as its breakup song. And Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" was goood: "You don't have to say what you did. I already know. I found out from him." When the former Mouseketeers turned pop megastars ended their love story in 2002, rumors of Britney Spears' alleged cheating surfaced. And while Spears never admitted to infidelity, she didn't have to. The video for Timberlake's hit single "Cry Me a River" features a Spears doppelgänger leaving her home with another man while Timberlake looks on. He then breaks into her home, tosses a photo that contains people who look remarkably like the two of them, films himself kissing another woman and leaves it playing on a television in her home. Though Spears called the music video a "desperate attempt" in her October 2003 Rolling Stone interview, Timberlake ultimately got the last laugh by dating Hollywood stars Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel while Spears married Kevin "K-Fed" Federline and spiraled out of control.

Prince Charles and Lady Di, 1996


All the pomp in the world couldn't keep Prince Charles, heir to the English throne, and Lady Diana Frances Spencer together. Hundreds of millions of people watched their televised wedding in 1981. When they divorced in 1996, it was a TIME cover story. Diana lost the title Her Royal Highness but not her iconic status, which persists more than a decade after her death. Charles married longtime mistress Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005.

Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, 1992

Before their fiery split, Mia Farrow and Woody Allen had what appeared to be a perfect kind of modern love. He made movies; she starred in them. They had one child together but adopted others. They had a family but lived apart. They never married, but for 12 years they were the picture of a happy union. Then came the scandal: The couple's split was followed by a custody battle during which Allen declared he was having an affair with Farrow's adopted daughter Soon-Yi. "The heart wants what it wants," Allen famously stated. Farrow's charge that Allen sexually molested their daughter Dylan was not proven, but she was awarded custody of the couple's three children in court. Farrow later penned a scathing portrait of Allen in her 1997 memoir, What Falls Away.

Mike Tyson and Robin Givens, 1988

Boxer Mike Tyson's marriage to actress Robin Givens disintegrated after just eight months amid allegations of domestic violence. A month after characterizing their life together as "pure hell" during a joint interview with Barbara Walters on national television in 1988, Givens filed for divorce. Tyson countersued to have the marriage annulled, claiming that she had faked a pregnancy to trap him in marriage.

Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, 1959

The love triangle — a classic Hollywood plot device. In the 1950s, actress Debbie Reynolds found herself in the midst of a scandal when her husband, crooner Eddie Fisher, abruptly left her for one of her best friends, the newly widowed Elizabeth Taylor. Fisher and Taylor later married a mere 3½ hours after his divorce from Reynolds was final. Ouch. But that couple didn't last long either, divorcing shortly after their marriage began. Fisher later wrote of Taylor in his autobiography, saying, "Elizabeth liked to collect trophies." Apparently, her best friend's husband was one of them.

Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe, 1954

Joe DiMaggio was recently retired and Marilyn Monroe's career had just taken off when they went on their first date in 1952. The legendary baseball player and the movie star–sex symbol were married in January 1954 — and divorced by the end of the year. The relationship, in all its stages, provided plenty of fodder for the press. While Monroe went on to marry (and then divorce) playwright Arthur Miller, DiMaggio never remarried. The two remained close, and some say they were planning to get back together eventually. After she died unexpectedly at age 36, he sent roses to her crypt three times a week for 20 years.
