These Celebrity Couples Couldn't Survive Lockdown
The pandemic has been hard on all of us. You really learn who you are when you're locked inside—and, maybe more importantly, you really learn who your partner is. Some couples have made it through lockdown stronger than ever...and some others not so much. Let's take a look at the celebrity couples who have broken up since March 2020. I'm not saying I know exactly why these celebs broke up, but they've all got one BIG thing in common...
John Mulaney And Anna Marie Tendler
The first year of the pandemic was rough for most of us, but man, John Mulaney really went through it, eh? First, there was his shocker rehab stint in December 2020.
Then, just a few months later, he dropped another bombshell: He was leaving his wife, Anna Marie Tendler. For a guy who had done that much standup about being sober and how much he loved his wife, needless to say, we were all stunned.
That's a crazy year, if you ask me, but I'm pretty sure Mulaney hasn't been up to much since then (oh wait...).
Ana De Armas And Ben Affleck
March 2020 was a weird time to start a relationship, but that didn't stop Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck from having a go at it. Well, maybe it was the giant phoenix tattoo, or maybe she wasn't a Good Will Hunting fan, but de Armas decided to call it quits less than a year into their relationship. Oh well, I'd say ol' Ben has done alright for himself since then...
Jennifer Lopez And Alex Rodriguez
On a completely unrelated note, here's another couple who didn't survive lockdown: Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez. Though they got engaged in 2019, they had to postpone their wedding twice due to COVID-19. Well, maybe that was a good thing, because in April 2021, they decided that they were "better as friends."
Bill And Melinda Gates
On the list of priciest breakups of the last two years, Bill and Melinda Gates have to take the top spot, right? The billionaire philanthropist power couple tied the knot in 1994, but the pandemic was the final nail in the coffin. But wait?
Despite the billions up for grabs, Melinda wrote in her divorce petition that “spousal support is not needed." She simply thought their marriage was "irretrievably broken" and she wanted out, but she wasn't worried about the money.
If you ask me, I'm sure she'll be just fine.
