Ariana and Dalton, who is a real estate agent, split after two years of their marriage but "have been quietly and lovingly working on their friendship," said a source to People magazine.

Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello are going their separate ways after being together for 7 years. In a joint statement, the couple said, “We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

Reportedly, the couple wasn't happy together for some time. In fact, they were putting up a united front and were smiling in front of cameras while they would bicker behind the scenes. 

After six years of marriage, Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef announced that they are divorcing.

According to their prenuptial agreement in 2004, in a possible case of separation, Christine will have to leave their estate in a span of 30 days. Kevin has meanwhile agreed to give his ex-wife rent for a new property of $30,000 a month with an additional $10,000 as the cost of moving, but she came out to say it wasn't enough.

The couple has requested joint custody of the kids and has had conflicts over child support as well. According to the court hearing, Kevin will be paying $129,755 per month as child support, however, healthcare expenses are to be split up even between the former couple.

The divorce of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner in 2023 marks the latest addition to the list of divorces this year.
