If you’re not feeling the love this February, don’t worry, you’re in good company! Lots of relationships don’t stand the test of time, for celebs just like the rest of us.
Here are some relationships that ran their course in the last year.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Perhaps the most overhyped reboot relationship in all of celebrity history, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck resurrecting “Bennifer” from the 2000s did not fare any better the second time around. Getting back together in 2021, the couple were quickly engaged (for a second time) and married a year later in Las Vegas.
Their entire relationship seemed to play out in the media. It went so far to include a full-length film written and directed by Jennifer, and starring the couple in a convoluted love story plot. Sadly, starring in a movie was not enough to save the relationship, which was strained by the constant media exposure, which Jennifer enjoyed and Ben detested.
Their real estate ventures were as crazy as their love life, including buying and selling several homes over the course of their relationship. At one point, they bought this property in Los Angeles, but never moved in. Instead they bought a mansion for nearly $70 million, which has not sold in nearly nine months on the market.

Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz
Zoë Kravitz is Hollywood royalty from both her mom and dad, and Channing Tatum has a decades-long career in film. They met on a film set (where Zoë was the writer, director, producer, and main character!), as you do in LA, and started dating later that year.
In spite of dating for three years, and being engaged for one year, the couple split up suddenly in October. Fortunately, the breakup has been amicable, and they seem better apart than together. The private couple never bought a house together, but kept their own homes.
Channing bought this very rustic cabin in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, after his marriage to Jenna Dewan ended in 2019. The 3,300 square foot cabin set him back $5.6 million, and is incredibly light and airy. The outdoors don’t skimp either, with a pool, spa, walking nature paths, and sports court.
As far as we know, he’s still living here, now that he’s single once again.

Cardi B and Offset
Cardi B started her career in a very rough environment, and has worked her way up to being one of the most important and influential women in the music industry. Her estranged husband, Offset, got his start by dancing in a Whitney Houston music video, and the two met at a music event. They quickly got married, but their relationship has been anything but stable.
The two bought a house in the elite Buckhead area of Atlanta, Georgia, in 2019. The house set them back about $6 million, and for that price tag, they got a massive 22,000 square feet full of luxury upgrades, vaulted 30′ ceilings, massive wine cellar, and more bathrooms than you can count!
Their relationship was pretty volatile, with them breaking up a few times. But this time, it seems permanent. Cardi B may put the house on the market, if Offset doesn’t keep it in the divorce settlement, because she’s spending most of her time in New York, where she’s from and where she’s working on her career.

Kristin Cavallari and Mark Estes
Kristin Cavallari has been in the Hollywood business for decades, but it’s not where she lives these days. Since breaking up with former NFL star Jay Cutler, she and her kids have lived in Franklin, a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee. Early in 2024, she started dating TikTok star Mark Estes, more than a decade her junior.
Sadly, the fun relationship quickly burned out, and the two split by the late summer. And at the same time, Kristin decided she was done with her $10 million mansion, and put it on the market. The estate, with a massive main house and a “cottage” of over 3,000 square feet, has a pool, chicken coop, high-end greenhouse, and amazing landscaping.
Unfortunately, the house may be a harder breakup to handle, as she’s lowered the price twice and it’s still been on the market for more than six months.

Leah Remini and Angelo Pagán
After 21 years of marriage, Leah Remini and Angelo Pagán announced they were going their separate ways in summer 2024, and unlike many breakups in Hollywood, the two quickly and peacefully settled their affairs and moved on. Because they were so amicable in their split, it’s not clear how their more than $25 million in assets, including this gorgeous LA home that sold right before they announced their split.
Back in 2022, right after her daughter left for college, Leah put the 10,000 square foot home on the market, but it took until summer 2024 to sell. And even though she had to cut the price a few times, she still made a tidy profit, selling the home for $9.3 million, when she bought it in 2003 for just under $4 million.
