With new relationships, pregnancies, and not-so-pleasant breakups, Hollywood has been on a rollercoaster ride. The stars have given us enough news to last a lifetime, and although some of it has been uplifting, others have left fans in tears! Yes, we’re talking about the surprising Hollywood splits that occurred in 2021. For the most part, they’ve been pleasant surprises for fans. As corny as it may seem, all we wanted to do was embrace our stars and tell them that everything will work out in the end! While many of our favorite celebs were in love, some of them made us cry with their unfinished ends.
This year, certain Hollywood breakups, such as Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid, left us devastated. Just as we were getting eager to see the pair in their new position as parents to baby Khai, they split up due to an unfortunate occurrence. Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, whose chemistry was off the charts every time they photographed together, were another surprising breakup of the year. We’re sorry that we had to witness these heart-breaking breakups this year. Here’s a rundown of all the shocking celebrity breakups in 2021:
Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik
Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid’s abrupt breakup was one of the most shocking breakups in history. The couple welcomed their kid in September 2020, however, their romance ended when the One Direction member and the supermodel’s mother appeared to have a protracted feud. Gigi had urged that everyone give their family some room following the separation, especially their little daughter Khai, who had written his own statement about the conflict.
Kaia Gerber and Jacob Elordi
Fans went nuts when Jacob Elordi and Kaia Gerber were sighted in New York City in 2020, but the couple has since broken up. While the exact cause for their breakup is unknown, the couple barely dated for a year before calling it quits.
Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck
Ben and Ana appeared to be quite the lovely pair, but they, too, called it quits without notifying fans as to why. Whatever the case may be, the two hanging out will be missed.
Karl Cook and Kaley Cuoco
After 3 years, the Start Of the Universe Hypothesis star and her spouse Karl Cook decided to call it quits. Following their breakup in September, they issued a joint statement in which they stated that they had “no resentment or hostility” toward others.

We had to start with the one that surprised us the most. Following their divorce, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello issued a joint statement stating that they will “continue to be great friends.” Following their breakup, the two went their own ways, with Cabello showcasing a new hair color on social media and Shawn supposedly writing a song about their breakup!
