Top 15 Shortest Celeb Marriages – 30+ Pics of Couples Who Called It Quits So Fast

Sep 30, 2025

06:15 A.M.

They said "I do" — and then "I don't!" From divorce court drama to whirlwind weddings gone wildly wrong, these A-list lovers barely made it past the honeymoon before throwing in the towel.

In this jaw-dropping countdown of Hollywood's shortest unions, we're looking at star couples whose "I dos" turned into "I don'ts" in record time.

From months-long commitments to legal bonds that barely lasted a weekend, these relationships made headlines for how quickly they unraveled. Annulments and irreconcilable differences top the list of reasons — and in some cases, the ink was hardly dry on the marriage license.

Two stars make the list twice, proving lightning-fast love isn't just a one-time mistake. And the shortest one of all? A marriage so fleeting, it barely outlasted the wedding night, and is waiting for you at number one.

15. Tom Green and Drew Barrymore – Less Than a Year

Tom Green and Drew Barrymore at the "Charlie's Angels" premiere after-party in London, England, on November 22, 2000. The couple, then newly engaged, appeared playful and affectionate just months before tying the knot.

A private moment captured on Green and Barrymore's wedding day in Malibu on July 10, 2001. The ceremony marked the peak of their whirlwind romance, which ended less than a year later when Green filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

Green filed for divorce from Barrymore in 2001, just months after they wed. "Drew is a wonderful woman. I love her very much. I wish our marriage could have worked out. I wish her much happiness," he said at the time.

At an after-party in San Juan in 2001, Lopez sat close to Judd, resting her arm on his leg. She wore a sleeveless black dress and minimal makeup, while he wore a patterned button-down and jeans. The two looked relaxed and affectionate, months before their separation.

Colton Haynes and Jeff Leatham showed off their wedding rings at the "Rough Night" premiere on June 12, 2017, in New York. Haynes wore a textured black suit and platinum blond hair, while Leatham stood beside him in a black ensemble, both grinning as they posed with their hands raised.

Leatham kissed Haynes on the forehead at the Tie The Knot 5-Year Anniversary celebration on October 12, 2017, in Los Angeles. Both wore black jackets on the purple carpet, appearing affectionate just weeks before their six-month marriage came to an end.

11. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito – 4 Months

Jennifer Esposito and Bradley Cooper were photographed crossing a Manhattan street on May 30, 2006. Esposito wore a white skirt and floral blouse with oversized sunglasses and a white handbag, while Cooper walked beside her in dark pants and a short-sleeved button-down with a backpack, just months before their engagement.

Cooper and Esposito were seated together at the 12th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2006. Esposito wore a strapless lace gown and drop earrings, turning toward the camera with a smile, while Cooper looked on in a dark suit. The couple married later that year but split just four months after.

Rock and Anderson were photographed in the crowd during their beach wedding celebration on July 29, 2006. Surrounded by onlookers, Anderson held a champagne flute, walking arm-in-arm with her new husband just months before their split.

After only four months, Anderson and Kid Rock filed for divorce in November 2006. They agreed to waive spousal support, aiming to resolve things peacefully.

9. Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage – 4 Months

Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage were seen aboard a yacht near Catalina Island on September 4, 2001. Presley sat in a deck chair in a white robe, appearing quiet and pensive, while Cage, shirtless and wearing sunglasses, leaned toward her across a small table.

8. Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney – 3 Months

Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney were spotted in Las Vegas on May 18, 2005. Zellweger wore a black long-sleeve top and jeans, while Chesney carried shopping bags and a coffee cup, dressed casually in a white T-shirt and yellow cap.

Chesney leaned out of a vehicle window in a white shirt and round glasses, while Zellweger sat just behind him, mostly obscured beneath a maroon baseball cap. It was later clarified that the "fraud" cited in her annulment filing was simply legal terminology — not a judgment of character. Legal experts explained that in annulment cases, the term often refers to major misrepresentations involving life decisions such as children, health, or intimacy.

Three months. That's how far Zellweger and Chesney made it after their Caribbean beachside wedding in 2005. She filed for an annulment, citing fraud.

7. Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian – 72 Days

The couple stood closely on the carpet, Koike glancing down with a faint smile as Cage gestured mid-sentence, his hand raised as if cutting through the air.

Koike stood at Cage’s side as they posed for photographers, both dressed in black — she in a plunging lace-sleeved jumpsuit, he in a wolf-printed denim jacket. Though their marriage lasted only four days, they appeared composed and cordial in this rare post-split public outing.

Whether it was days, weeks, or just a handful of months, each of these marriages burned bright and fizzled fast. While the reasons varied, the outcomes were the same — quick exits from relationships that once promised forever.
