What a summer. Not in terms of the weather, or energy, or even enjoyment — I mean for the sheer number of breakups. If anyone felt like pouring one out for the fallen soldiers (i.e. failed celebrity relationships) at their next pub trip, they’d have to sacrifice nearly a whole pint to the ground in honour of those who have loved and lost.
Britney Spears, Natalie Portman, Reese Witherspoon, Ariana Grande, Jeremy Allen White and Justin Trudeau have all ended their marriages, while the likes of Pete Davidson, Bella Hadid, Keke Palmer and Rosalia have called off relationships. There’s more, too, but honestly I can’t write them all out for fear I will never believe in love again.
