Which celebrity couples will divorce next year? I agree with most of these choices… except maybe Scarlett Johansson & Colin Jost? I think they’ll probably last another two years. But Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas are definitely giving off a divorce-y vibe. [Gawker]
Former senator Harry Reid passed away at the age of 82. [Buzzfeed]

I kind of like Alexandra Daddario’s sports bra. [Egotastic]
Kristen Stewart’s 2021 looks… so many bad Chanel pieces. [RCFA]
Yeah, Scarjo seems to be really into Jost, I think this will be her longest marriage. It won’t last forever, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if they last a decade.
He must be funnier in person.
Lol!
She probably loves that she snatched a Harvard guy, making her believe she’s as smart and brilliant as she think she is. And he probably loves that he snatched a hot actress.
Good points! As an aside, even though I find his live comedy totally cringe, he’s probably a really talented comedy writer and intelligent guy. And yeah the nerd boy with the hot actress? I don’t doubt he’s thrilled to be with her.
Agreed. And there’s numerous reasons for that that this profile thing overlooks. Scarlett is a New Yorker. She’s from New York City. She grew up in New York City. She chooses to live in New York City. Same for Jost. They are two New Yorkers who love New York. That right there is a strong common bond she didn’t have in her other relationships. They seem to have a good rapport and to enjoy one another. And they’re supportive of one another’s careers. This one is going longer than her others.
It’s easy to judge Scarlett for having three marriages, but her first was at 23. I imagine as a child star you may want some stability and can believe that to come from a marriage. Like Macaulay Culkin got married at 18. I think those marriages can be written off. I think her and Colin seem happy and I listened to his audiobook and found it to be super funny. At the very least he’s a huge fan of his mom who is a total badass. I also think he’s happy to let her be the star.
Yea, she was really young when she married Reynolds and I think he always wanted a more traditional house wife which she wasn’t (and Blake is).
Jost is a big deal. He’s not a gifted performer but he’s a head writer. And he seems to really support her career and seems thrilled to be her +1. I’m sure he supported her 100% with that Disney stuff.
I completely forgot she was married to Ryan Reynolds – like, I would have failed that trivia question, though I obviously knew it at one time. Ryan has so completely rebranded himself as husband of Blake, it’s hard to picture him with anyone else. How did those two ever think they were meant to be? She does seem well suited with Jost.
Ya I think these two will last a while as well. Honestly they seem well suited
Agree, they seem impressed with each other and they are both deep as puddles. I think they both feel they found someone as marvelous as themselves 🙂
I completely agree. They seem to get each other, which is what most Hollywood marriages are missing.
I do too, I don’t get an “on the rocks” vibe from them at all.
Everything Priyanka Chopra wears always seems so cumbersome. Her makeup looks the same if that’s possible. I always find what she wears horrible. I don’t know about her marriage to Nick, I hope that they are happy and respecting their union.
Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas. They don’t make sense. She looks like a grown woman and he looks like he’s still in college. He doesn’t have enough gravitas for her.
That is it. The energy just doesn’t match. I really thought (not to uterus watch) that they got married to have children. How much time do they get to spend together is my other question.
He’s too boyish for her. She needs a man! 🙂
Tbh they look like good friends. There is no heat there. I don’t know about divorce, especially given that they both seem to come from more conservative cultural backgrounds. But I’m not even sure why they got married in the first place. That being said, divorce can be painful and difficult and I wish it on no one.
Also I doubt Kristen Bell and Dax Shepherd are getting divorced. They both seem to feed off of the drama in their relationship. They both seem emotionally attached to the constant turmoil. There’s a very dysfunctional mutual attraction beyond just sex.
ya, their relationship seemed more like a business transaction than anything. Her vibe isn’t carefree and more like controlling and calculated…
They were cute on The Newlywed Game. And I always think of Nick as having a maturity about him.

Well, she’s 10 years older than he is, isn’t she – but they can’t help their ages and faces and relative heights. What’s problematic to me is that they don’t seem to want to be on the same continent as each other.
If she was looking for a more transactional marriage, I feel like she could’ve chosen differently. The fact that she married a Jonas brother makes me feel like she saw something we don’t. The YouTube video was pretty cute. Whether or not they will last, idk. But it seems like he adores her.
I could see Tori and Dean and Nick and Priyanka getting divorced. And I could maybe see Scarlett and Colin, based on the argument about her previous marriages.
I don’t see it for Justin and Jessica, because I don’t think they’re even functional enough as a couple to get a divorce when they’re miserable. They’ll limp along for another decade, get divorced randomly when they’ve been out of the spotlight for awhile, and then will both get married again right away. I’d say the same for Will and Jada, who’ve also been dysfunctional for a long period of time and don’t seem likely to do anything about it in the near future. And maybe Kristen and Dax too, because what would either of them do for a living otherwise?
Inertia is a hell of a drug. 🙂
Celebrities, they’re just like us!
LMAO! It’s true, so sadly….
Kristen and Dax are forever. They gotta know by now no one else would marry either of them.
Ding ding ding Bettyrose! Who would marty either of them knowing every embarrassing story is fair game for interviews. Nope
I picture them adding Monica as a sister wife.
Justin turned 40 and may just go bonkers cheating and being restless before he hits 50. He seems like the type to think about the good old days of clubbing when his kids go to primary / elementary school.
I could see him doing exactly that, but will Jessica file for divorce if he does? There are a lot of men who would like to do that and still have their marriages intact (at least to the point where they don’t have to split assets or deal with child custody). I think he might be one of them.
50 is a very boring age, so I can understand wanting to relive your youth.
50 is a boring age? IDK. I’m getting there and feel like it’s getting more interesting all the time. The only parts of my youth I’d want to relive is I secretly wish I coulda been an 80s club kid. I was about 5 years too young for that.
I’ve told people that I think 40 can be pretty fun if you have a decent inner life and are able to value things like self confidence and self knowledge. I’m not sure 50 is similar, but I can see how aging can generally be rough for the sort of celebrities who have focused a lot on image.
50 is boring? I wish! For me, 50 and 51 have been freaking crazy. Maybe 52 will be boring, it would be nice to have a break.
^^ LOL! Thanks for keeping it real @Willow, @lunchcoma, @Bettyrose! Got news for the youngin’ Celebitches, 50 and beyond ain’t boring. Your second half of life is just getting started. You reap the rewards or the karma from decisions you made during your first half as an adult. Your body begins to let you know how old you are too, so keep active physically and mentally.
There will begin to be stuff happening to the elders you love that you may not be prepared for. And other things happening too perhaps within your core family unit that you never expected. But be open to growth and to change happening. It is inevitable, if you live long enough. Never boring, always lively, and guard against depression too by thinking of what you can do to help someone else in need. But when you might get clobbered with having to take care of an older relative, stay in prayer, live with grace, learn something new every day. Be present in your life.
Oh, and take a look at Iman’s recent videos about skin care! What a lovely, wise human Iman is. I love her!
As far as predicting who is or is not going to remain married, I can think of better things to do. I got hooked to come into this thread because I find Chopra and Jonas to be an interesting couple. I wish all these couples wisdom and happiness. They have the platform to do a lot of good in the world, for sure, which in turn might benefit feeling good in their personal lives.
49 over here. Having the best time. Husband (9 years younger) and I are child free and in a place in our careers where we have money and time to do the things we like. We have a lovely house, great careers, independence, disposable income, friends, and above all, lots of fun.
We love traveling and next week we’re off to Disney World for marathon weekend, to run the half marathon followed for a 4 day cruise and a week in South Beach (covid gods willing). As others said, my advice would be: stay fit!
Anyway, yeah, looking forward to the next decade.
50? Boring? Hmmm…I turned 50 last month and so far, it’s anything but boring! You couldn’t pay me to return to my youth, not when my career is going well, my kids are self sufficient and MCMDad is looking like a hot silver fox.
I’ve always gotten the impression that Jessica is determined to be and remain Mrs. Timberlake, no matter what, no matter how many embarrassments she must go through. On a side note, as someone who has always disliked him, it was good to see the most people finally realize what a jerk he is.
Tori/Dean (if they can monetize it) and Nick/Priyanka are the only other ones I see on that list possibly ending. Will and Jada are dug in, Scarlett and Colin seem fine, and I think something is up with Kristen and Dax but I predict they stay married and suffer through it.
Techno love for Liev. Love the video. I had no idea he might be a techno/house head.
Watching Liev dad-dance to techno beats warms my heart.
I think it’s bad karma to predict the demise of people’s marriages. That said, I do agree with almost all the picks. I also agreed with every pick in the next Gawker article about Most Annoying Celebrities: Chris Pratt and Chrissy Teigen for the win.
The vaccine roll out was pretty slow in Argentina, especially due to the purchase of Sputnik V. I had to go abroad to get vaxxed. However, things picked up speed once the sitting government was caught in a corruption case with the little vaccines we had, and they seemed to realise they needed to course correct ASAP. I’ve now received my booster shot and will get another one in a few months. My whole family is fully vaxxed and 80% of them are health front line workers (‘m in the food industry so I was an essential worker too, just did not qualify for a vaccine)
Frpm Jan 1st there will be a Health Pass so whoever is not vaccinated will not be able to enter government buildings, theatres, movies, banks, etc. This does not sit well with me as I don’t think it will make people get the vaccine but I guess we will have to see.
Also – we need to look at Africa and help them raise their vaccinated numbers. This is a global pandemic and it won’t stop until the majority of the world is fully vaxxed!
Because divorce is a good option for a marriage which isn’t fulfilling, or problematic, or dysfunctional?
Good answer! Looks like that post got deleted, but I was going to say a lot of these marriages are business/PR first. We’re not putting bets on the ones that are obvious love matches.
I always liked Nick and Priyanka together. I always liked her, period. They don’t have to “make sense” to us– as long as they make sense to each other. Sheesh.
Rumblings Priyonka and Nick divorcing bc Nick is tired of living in the closet & wants to come out
Adam Driver & his wife divorce announcement
JLo / Affleck breakup after Golden Globes
Olivia Wilde / Harry Styles breakup right before Valentine’s then he drops new album
Ewan McGregor / mistress-turned-wife break up
Taylor Swift & Joe Alwyn break up before the next TV album
I like your list!! Why do you think Taylor and Joe will??
Well I like that your list includes all that will be good for gossip! So let’s hope at least half of it comes true.
I’m wondering about the Adam Driver and Taylor Swift predictions because those couples are notoriously quiet. What’s setting off your alarms about them?
I’ve wondered about both Nick and Kevin Jonas.
What sucks is there was a time if Ewan was back on the market I’d be joking endlessly that my chance had come. But I got no need for that cheating cliche now.
Weird that the reporting is that Liev is in Peru yet his video says Chile. Those are different countries.
I’ve always wondered about Justin Timberlake, but never about the Jonas brothers.
I’m throwing Will and Kate into the ring. If QEII passes, I can see that paving the way for a divorce to happen.
Totally. Not like Charles can get on his high horse about it, but not in 2022. It’ll be awhile to let the post-Liz monarchy settle in.
Before William is named Prince of Wales, so she keeps the Cambridge title and wife #2 is Wales.
Although I’m not trusted Charles to let the Duchy fall into William’s clutches. He’ll want to keep hold of purse strings. Save it intact for George. Will should have taken over the Prince’s Trust when he had the chance. Shown some initiative. Oh, well. Not his nature.
It all depends on what W wants and if he falls in love seriously with someone who could be a better Queen consort than Kate. Otherwise both will continue the aristo route of living separately in a mansion for the sake of public image etc., whilst he choppers around Norfolk and she does a lot of revenge shopping!
Despite what other Celebitches have opined, I VERY much doubt Will and Kate will get divorced. When the queen pops off, Charles may be king for 25 years, considering the posh lifestyle is very life-prolonging (the queen’s mum lived until 104 and Phillip died at 98). Why die when you can literally live as a king or queen? That’s a very long marriage for Will and Kate to weather until Will becomes king. But Will and Kate are living apart anyway and he has his flings and she has her PR fluff and tons of money to buy clothes, unlimited vacations (I assume whenever she’s not doing puff pieces, she’s on vacation–in or out of England), constant childcare, beauty treatments, etc., I don’t see her actively seeking a divorce. Will acts single anyway, so why would he want to dump his constant photo op of happy home and family? I’d love to hear from anyone who thinks differently.
I think you need to take into account the briefings and counter briefing between Charles and William’s camps once Charles ascends to the throne. This is where a divorce between W&K could get bounced into action but unlike others, I think Kate will have to initiate and not William. Charles will not hesitate to throw William under the bus – especially if he needs a nice, juicy scandal to distract from his goal of having Camilla named Queen Consort. The resulting furore could tip Kate into growing some backbone and take advantage to portray herself as the dutiful but wronged wife and divorce William with public sympathy. It depends on how much she wants the ultimate prize and is prepared to wait for another 20 years stuck with William to achieve it.
I’m one of those who don’t see them divorcing. They deserve each other.
@jferderer- yes Kate has all those things, but what about love…and sex. I don’t know that she’ll be content to live forever in a loveless, sexless marriage if that’s what it is. You know William would be upset if she had ‘dalliances!
@ jferber, I actually disagree. Baldingham never wanted to marry Mumbles as it was, but now he has a wife that he openly loathes in public, on top of the constant headlines of “Kate, the King maker”, “Kate the peacemaker”, and so on….
Ma Meddlington would never allow Mumbles to pull the trigger, she has worked too hard for too long. Hell, I would expect CarolE would chain Mumbles into one of her homes as she is suffering from a stroke at the very thought of discussing divorce to W! On top of the fact that she is so close to becoming the new Queen Mother-In-Law!! If Mumbles was to initiate, which I don’t see that happening on any planet or considered after dropped acid, CarolE would come unglued!! CarolE would lose it! Though I do think that W’s blatant disregard for discretion is causing Mumbles heartache. Mumbles stalked W for a decade and she is probably furious as well.
This is purely my speculation, nothing more. The true test will be once TQ passes and see if W pulls the trigger!
I agree, not a chance. They will have an “arrangement” and stay married.
OMGOMGOMG!!! Maxwell verdict just in – GUILTY on all but one charge!
I’m tempted to pop this champagne I’m supposed to be saving for NYE.
I’m sure there will be a big post tomorrow. I’m just so happy about this!
Yes, it’s time for the press to start covering Andrew’s friendship with convicted sex trafficker.
Mads, thanks for responding. But why would Kate want a divorce when she has the life she wants and Will is out of her hair for the most part? Would it be so she could start dating and re-marry? I could see her wanting a real man for herself alone (two qualifications William fails in miserably), but I also see her wanting the clout of the wife of the future future king of England. Thoughts?
Hi. There’s an old adage “be careful what you wish for”. Kate was happy to wait for W, put up with him cheating etc. for, what she and her mother saw, the prize of being a royal consort and breaking into high society. They put up with the scorn from the aristos and press because the thought of would all be worth it in the end. For a while it probably was. Then reality hits. It’s not all servants, exotic holidays and a loving, faithful husband. She pushes out the expected heir, accepts her husband is a philanderer and does the minimal engagements to coast. Then comes Meghan. This is where everything changes. William is so jealous he wants to compete so Kate has to do some real, tangible work. She’s not capable and she knows it. A divorce from W where she walks away as the dutiful, scorned wife could be perfect for her, especially if W is in control of the Duchy of Cornwall and all that lovely money when they split. I’m not saying she’s smart enough to do it, she might well be vacuous enough to just stay in the charade for life.
Will Smith and Jada could finally call it quits. Also Ioan Gruffyd and Alice Evans are never ever getting back together. James Franco could start dating women his own age after a lot more intensive therapy and only if he can persuade them that he deserves a second chance which looks doubtful until he takes FULL responsibility for past actions.
the next celebrity divorce: Jason Mamoa and Lisa Bonet
