The end of a relationship is never easy to navigate, and that’s especially the case in Hollywood. However, there is no denying that some celebrity divorces go more smoothly than others.

Over the years, there have been A-list lovers who have decided to consciously uncouple after years of marriage. They navigate splits with ease and go on with their lives relatively unscathed.

Other divorces come with a bit more drama. Some are plagued with rumors of infidelity that generate endless headlines. There can be legal battles that play out for years over spousal support, custody issues and so much more.

While drama can play out in court, sometimes it comes in other forms such as songs and memoirs, which unearth old memories.

We rounded up 20 of the most contentious celebrity divorces and recapped what made them so tense.

When asked about raising their kids, Gavin said they both “just parent.”

“I think you can go one of two ways — you can either do everything together and really co-parent, and see how that goes — or you can just parent. And I think we just parent,” he shared on the Not So Hollywood podcast.

“We’re really different people … I don’t think there’s much similarity in the way we bring them up but I think that gives them an incredible perspective to then choose which pieces of those two lives they’d like to inherit and move on with and which part of themselves come out of the whole process,” he continued.

“Because that’s what’s important is to give them a wide view of things and we definitely have some particularly opposing views so I think it’d be really helpful for them to make their own minds as individuals,” he added.

Years ago, Gwen said her split from Gavin involved a “juicy story.”

Here’s what she had to say…

On her divorce from Gavin in 2016, and starting her journey into beauty: “It was a time of reassessing everything that I’ve done. I wanted to start something that was new, that was mine, that was true to who I am, that was going to be the rest of my life project, that I would be able to be a gift back.”

On the oversaturated market on celebrity beauty brands: “I think people know the truth — people can see what’s real and what’s not. I’m here to surrender and do what my purpose is, so I think the difference is that this is a passion project. I don’t need to do this, I’m not trying to sell you something. I’m trying to create something that is going be my actual legacy, and I think people are gonna see that.”

On her new line, a makeup line named GXVE: “This makeup is gonna be the best, most high-performance clean makeup because I’m gonna wear it because I care about myself. People will come to me because they’re gonna go, ‘Ok, all these years she’s always been consistent — she’s never she’s never lied to us about this.”
