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.

They’ve also either outright revealed who the song is about in interviews, or provided enough context clues in the lyrics to figure out who it’s probably about.

Nick Lachey has been ordered to attend anger management classes and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Page Six obtained police records, revealing that the 49-year-old Love Is Blind co-host and 98 Degrees member was charged with assault and battery against paparazzo Jody Santos back in March of 2022, who sought formal punishment for the star with the Beverly Hills Police Department.

“He has to complete [anger management and AA] within a reasonable time, which is like a year or so,” the photographer explained to the Daily Mail.

“If he fails to do so, they will move forward to prosecute him with noncompliance and he will get arrested.”

The news comes after he was involved in a physical altercation with the photographer last year, from which there is footage of the incident.

It appears that Nick Lachey poked fun at his marriage with ex-wife Jessica Simpson during the reunion episode for Love Is Blind season three.

The finale of the season and the reunion episode premiered on Wednesday (November 9). There’s a very brief moment during the reunion in which Nick appears to be referencing his marriage to Jessica.

For those who don’t watch and aren’t familiar with the reality series, Nick actually co-hosts it with his current wife Vanessa Lachey.

While hosting the reunion, Nick shared a moment with contestant Matt Bolton, who married Colleen Reed on the show. This was Matt‘s second marriage and Colleen noted how they are “content” with their relationship.

Nick then said to Matt, “It’s always better the second time around.” The two guys then shared a fist bump.

During the moment, Nick was sitting beside his second wife Vanessa. It seems pretty clear that he’s saying his marriage to her is better than his marriage to Jessica.

The third season of Love Is Blind is coming to an end and it has faced some controversy due to lack of diversity accusations.

Lauren Speed-Hamilton, who appeared on the first season of the show, called out the Netflix series for “cutting all the black women.” While 15 women were introduced in the beginning of the third season, only five of them moved on to become couples.

“I don’t like how LIB be cutting all the black women. How come they are always in the trailer but not the show… 👀. I know it’s slim pickings but about 85% of them couples be forced (just moving forward for entertainment purposes) anyway. Y’all could at least force some more sisters to move forward throughout the show,” she tweeted.

The show’s co-host Nick Lachey is responding directly to Lauren‘s accusations.

During her appearance, she spoke about the show, which aired from 2003 to 2005.

“I don’t regret that at all. I mean, if anything, it was great TV. It was very real, and Nick and I actually had a lot of fun,” she said adding that they “got to do a lot things” on the show that they might not have got the chance to do otherwise.

“There were definitely moments where it was like, ‘Put Jessica out here in the wilderness and you’ll get good TV.’”

As far as why she doesn’t have regrets, she said: “I never have. No, I learn from it. There’s a lesson in everything… I was so young, I didn’t even have a hold on who I was as a person.”

As far as whether she’d do another reality TV show?

“Oof, no. Well, I mean, reality’s set up so different now. Ours was actually very real and very, like, authentic. But maybe because it was one of the first,” she said.

“But we had a mic pack on from when we woke up to when we went to sleep. Nowadays, like, they have allotted shooting days and that type of thing and it would make it a lot easier.”

“My daughter is best friends with North. So, I’ve had to talk to Kim and be like, ‘How in the world do you guys do this?’ She is unbelievable. She’s a beast. She’s an incredible mother. She’s really open and you know she just is awesome. And North and Max together are great.”

“You did it too,” Vanessa added when Nick looked shocked. “I’m actually surprised you figured out my password. That was a good one.”

The co-hosts realized they needed to trust each other after attending couple’s counseling.

“Honestly, I remember we went to a therapist and she was like, ‘If y’all are going through each other’s phones, then you shouldn’t be together,’” Vanessa said. “I’m like, ‘You’re right. I need to trust this man and he needs to trust me.’”

The pair have been married since July 2011. They’re now parents to daughter Brooklyn, 7, and sons Camden, 9, and Phoenix, 5.

While promoting The Ultimatum, the couple revealed they had briefly split up before deciding to get married. Check it out…

Nick and Vanessa Lachey are opening up about their marriage.

While promoting their new Netflix series The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, the hosts revealed that they briefly split up before getting married.

“We dated for five years. So I finally said, ‘What are we doing?’” Vanessa recalled on the debut episode of the show. “I had moved in with him, I had renovated his entire bachelor pad, there was a bar in the pool. I was like, ‘Whatever you want,’ and now I’m like, ‘OK, I want to put kids in the pool.’”

“So that’s when I started doing the dance,” Vanessa added, while waving her ring finger around.

“That’s what put the nail in the coffin,” Nick joked.

Vanessa then explained why she and Nick decided to briefly split up before getting married.

“If I’m being completely candid and transparent, we took a break,” Vanessa shared. “We both saw one other person and we realized that if we got out of our own way, we could be amazing together.”

She continued, “But it took me seeing somebody else and me realizing I don’t mind the things that bugged me or were holding me back. I don’t mind all that. The bigger picture is how I feel about that person and their values of wanting to be with me and knowing everything about me.”

Nick added, “I think we got perspective.”

Nick and Vanessa got married in 2011 and share three kids – sons Camden, 9, and Phoenix, 5, and daughter Brooklyn, 7.

Love Is Blind’s Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee is coming for Nick Lachey again.

Shake called Nick a “little b—tch” after previously fighting on the season 2 reunion regarding how Shake treated ex Deepti Vempati on the show.

On the reunion, Shake also said the only person he was attracted to was Nick‘s wife Vanessa, which made tensions flair.

Shake brought up that incident, as well as his new girlfriend in the interview.

“Hey, tell me how attracted you are to [my girlfriend] Emily [Wilson]. Tell me she’s beautiful. She’s gorgeous. She’s hot, but she’s mine,” he said.

“You can look, but you can’t touch, pal.”

He then said it’s a “compliment” when someone comments on your significant other.

“That’s a compliment unless you’re an insecure, insecure guy. If you’re insecure then, yeah, any anything’s upsetting if you’re an insecure guy.”

“Honestly, he treated Jessica Simpson like garbage for years. And guess what? That’s documented big boy. All right, 98 degrees. Are you kidding me? More like 32 degrees. You haven’t been 98 degrees since 1998 pal.”

He went on to say the boy band “never took off” so he “got jealous” of Jessica Simpson.

“[She was] stunning, talented, beautiful, ambitious, everything that made you a little sad. [And] you decided to take it out on her by being a jerk.”

He also called out the way Nick met his wife Vanessa.

“Is love blind or did you meet on the set of a music video? Like, OK. Then you come on here and tell me how I treat people [poorly] and talk to people. You single me out when you’re supposed to be an impartial host, like, bro, you’re a washed up nobody.”

Find out what he initially said about Nick Lachey.

Vanessa Lachey is speaking out about her husband Nick Lachey‘s very public romance and divorce with Jessica Simpson.

“He was literally in a very public marriage and a very public divorce, and I had to go through all that s–t very publicly and it was very hard for us,” she told the contestants in the sixth episode.

“It wasn’t until the moment that he was like, ‘I’m gonna let it go,’ and I said, ‘I’m gonna let it go,’ and we truly committed to each other.”

Nick agreed with his wife, saying: “I think we got perspective.”

The pair began dating in 2006, and once they truly committed, Vanessa said: “We literally fell deeper and harder than we ever could.”

Nick Lachey recently opened up about making headlines for an altercation with a photographer recently.

Nick Lachey has put out a statement following reports that he got violent with a paparazzo while out to dinner with wife Vanessa Lachey.

The report, via TMZ, stated that the 48-year-old musician and Love is Blind host “punched” the photographer’s window and called “her a ‘p**** mother f*****’.”

Following the incident, Nick took to social media to explain what happened from his perspective.

“Last night, after enjoying a great dinner with my wife and our dear friend, the paparazzi harassed us as we walked back to our hotel,” Nick wrote. “I clearly overreacted. I’ve been in this game long enough to know that their antics are sadly part of the deal. Stupid of me. Done.”

He then wrote that everything you read isn’t an accurate description of what actually happened.

“For TMZ or anyone else to say that I was violent or that I ‘got physical’ with someone is reckless and absolutely false,” Nick added. “Once again, TMZ likes to create their own clickbait narrative. Life’s too short, we move on.”

Nick Lachey reportedly just had a confrontation that got violent.

The 48-year-old Love Is Blind host went after a photographer during a night out with wife Vanessa Lachey on Sunday (March 27), via TMZ.

The two went to eat at Mastro’s in Beverly Hills, Calif.

After seeing a photographer taking pictures of him from her car, Nick made his way across the street, allegedly punching her window and “calling her a ‘p**** mother f*****’” via the outlet. TMZ also noted that Vanessa was “yelling for her to open her car door.”

The photographer put her window down after he walked away and asked what his problem was according to the report, making him return to the car. After noticing she was filming him, Nick reportedly tried to pry the phone from her hands.

Later in the night, Nick was with Vanessa and another woman walking back to a hotel, and was pictured sticking his middle finger up to photographers as they walked by. There is footage of the incident at TMZ.

The photographer claimed to TMZ she could smell alcohol on his breath. There are no further details about what caused the incident.

One of the Love Is Blind stars called out Nick Lachey recently.

Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee is calling out Nick Lachey, the co-host of Netflix’s Love Is Blind, for comments that he made during the show’s reunion special.

For those who don’t know, Shake is a veterinarian. He was also considered a “villain” during season two of Love Is Blind for the things he said about his ex-fiancee Deepti Vempati‘s physical appearance.

Nick said during the reunion special that he understands why he treats animals and not humans.

Click inside to find out what Shake is now saying about Nick Lachey…

In an Instagram post that has already been deleted, Shake reportedly wrote, “Reunion summed up in a photo. You put a doctor on the show… of course you were going to see some critical thinking. Speaking of which, @nicklachey you’re a massive twat for your comment dragging vets. You do realize that becoming a veterinarian considerably more difficult than becoming a human doc right?”

He added, “Also consider learning how to be an impartial host before the season 3 reunion airs. Sorry I didn’t play along with your narrative like the rest of these puppets. Say hi to @vanessalachey for me.”

The photo in question showed Shake in the middle of making a comment while some of his co-stars had their heads hanging in frustration.

The creator of Love Is Blind has responded to Shake‘s critiques of the way he was edited on the show.

“You’ll be shocked to hear that I have not — nor will I ever read that book,” Nick said on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy show. “I obviously knew the book was coming out, but I lived the book, you know what I mean? I know what the truth is, so I don’t need to read it or read someone’s version of it in a story that I know. … I lived it. No, I never read it.”

Jessica revealed lots of secrets in the book – including details about the last time she and Nick had sex.

Nick previously reacted to all the bombshells Jessica dropped in the book.
