The 5 Most Upsetting Celebrity Breakups Of 2016

RIP, you perfectly photogenic people

The 5 Most Upsetting Celebrity Breakups Of 2016
Harper's Bazaar

Whether you like to admit it or not, almost all of us are intrigued by the glamorous lives of today's hottest celebrities. Celebrity couples take that fascination to a whole new level, with two times the star power and usually two times the beauty to obsess over. We become obsessed with celebrity couples, giving them couple names and following every move they make, especially when they find a happily ever after and produce even more perfect celebrity babies. But as 2016 comes to a close, I can't help but notice that it has been a tragic year for us celebrity lovers. As someone who watches E! News and reads People magazine on a weekly basis, I have mourned the breakup of some of America's favorite couples, and would like to memorialize them in this article.

1. Cavin Harris and Taylor Swift

After a year spent as pop's reigning power couple, Swift and Harris broke up and seemingly deleted each other from their lives. These two had fans gushing over their subtly adorable Instagrams and tweets to each other, but hit a rough patch and broke up over the summer. But fans were even more shocked by Swift's quick rebound with Tom Hiddleston just weeks later, and then by the scandal over Harris' song that Swift apparently wrote. What's a celebrity breakup without some juicy drama?

2. Brooklyn Beckham and Chloe Grace Moretz

Although they're only teenagers, this young couple was the talk of Hollywood for a while during their whirlwind romance. The two gorgeous rising stars were all over each other's social media, but eventually split when Chloe claimed she was sick of being referred to as his girlfriend rather than the star actress that she truly is.

3. the Weeknd and Bella Hadid

These two spent an amazing year and a half as Hollywood's freshest, chillest couple, but have recently split due to their conflicting schedules. To me, this is the saddest type of breakup, as the two said they still "have a great deal of love for one another." Excuse me while I cry for the Weeknd's hair and their nonexistent, potentially gorgeous children.

4. Wilmer Valderamma and Demi Lovato

The couple, who have caused controversy during their six-year romance due to their large age difference, split in the summer and released a statement saying they were better off as friends. While they were always pretty low-key as a couple, both Demi and the lovable Fez are fan favorites, and I was sad to see their relationship end.

5. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

The infamous couple, who met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith eleven years ago, called it quits after two years of marriage and five kids together, citing irreconcilable differences. This breakup rocked many fans to their core, since Brad and Angie have been such a symbol of true love and family for so long, defying the Hollywood standard of short relationships. RIP Brangelina, we love you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
