January 1 is a time to embrace the old adage, “out with the old, in with the new.” In celebrity relationship land, however, that can only mean one thing: breakup season has officially begun. From the Jessica Alba-Cash Warren split that sent shockwaves through Hollywood to the quiet parting of Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber, it seems 2025 is already shaping up to be a year of change, whether surprising or expected.
While most couples ushered in the new year with a champagne, a kiss, and—in one special case—In-N-Out, not everyone in Hollywood had such a loved up start to 2025. Ahead, all of the most heartbreaking celebrity breakups that have happened this year (so far).

Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz rang in the new year single after calling off their engagement in October 2024. The pair dated for three years and worked closely together on Kravitz’s directorial debut, Blink Twice.
“There was no dramatic falling out between Channing and Zoë. They really just grew apart and decided it was best for them to go their separate ways,” a source told Page Six when the split was first announced. “[They] both handled the breakup very maturely [and] came to the mutual realization that they were better off friends than romantic partners.”

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren were together for nearly two decades before calling it quits. After news of their separation broke, both parties opened up about the difficulties of longterm partnership.
“It’s all rosy for two and half years, but then after that, you become roommates,” Alba explained. “And it’s just, like, you’re roommates. You’re just going through the motions. It’s the responsibility. It’s a lot of, like, checking the boxes.”

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson were married for 10 years before announcing their plans to divorce via a statement shared with People. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them,” it said. “We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”
“Jess and Eric had trust issues,” an insider later told Page Six. “They were no longer on the same page, and it drove a wedge between them.”

Arguably Hollywood’s most beautiful couple, this actor-model duo parted ways after dating for three years at the tail end of 2024. News of their split was first reported by TMZ.
“The couple ended their romantic relationship around the end of 2024—which explains Austin’s MIA status from Kaia’s family trip to Mexico for the New Year,” the outlet said, adding that there is “no bad blood between the former couple…the relationship just simply ran its course after a good 3 years together.”

“Father God, give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts,” James wrote on Instagram. “Give us a peace about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding. Shower our friends and family with kindness and love to comfort us. “And remind us that our Joy comes from you, Lord 💔.”

Tennis star Naomi Osaka made headlines when she announced her split from the rapper Cordae on Instagram in early January. The couple were together for roughly six years and share a daugher, Shai, born in 2023.
“Hi everyone, just wanted to say that Cordae and I are no longer in a relationship,” Osaka wrote in an Instagram story. “No bad blood at all, he’s a great person and an awesome dad. Honestly really glad our paths crossed because my daughter is my biggest blessing and I was able to grow a lot from our experiences together ❤️.”
