Joe Jonas & Sophie Turner

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are in the process of ending their marriage, and the divorce proceedings are becoming increasingly complicated. In September, Joe Jonas, a member of the Jonas Brothers, officially initiated the divorce process from Sophie Turner after being married for four years. The divorce filing cited that their relationship had reached a point where it couldn't be salvaged. Following this, there has been a back-and-forth in the tabloids with various, sometimes conflicting, explanations for their sudden separation.

While some Hollywood stars, like Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, have managed to sustain their marriages, other celebrity couples have not been able to withstand the test of time. Here are some well-known couples who are going their separate ways in 2023:

1. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness: Fans were surprised when Australia's beloved couple, Hugh and Deborra-Lee, announced their separation after being married for 27 years. The news of their divorce was especially shocking because it came in April, which marked their 27th wedding anniversary, and everything appeared to be going well. Hugh Jackman expressed his love for his wife in a heartfelt social media tribute. Currently, they are going through an "amicable" divorce process, primarily involving the division of their joint assets.

2. Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner: In May, it was reported that Christine had filed for divorce from Kevin after nearly two decades of marriage. The reason cited for their breakup was "irreconcilable differences," and April 11 was noted as their date of separation. Ultimately, a prenuptial agreement was enforced, which included a substantial financial penalty in case it was contested. The couple has two sons, aged 14 and 15, and a 12-year-old daughter.

3. Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied: There are reports that actor Natalie Portman and her dancer husband, Benjamin Millepied, who have been married for 11 years, have separated. However, the couple has not officially confirmed this publicly. They first met in 2009 while working on the movie "Black Swan" and share two children: a 12-year-old son named Aleph and a 6-year-old daughter named Amalia.

Rumors have circulated about an alleged affair involving Benjamin with a younger woman named Camille Étienne in August. While Natalie, 42, and Benjamin, 46, attempted to work through this alleged infidelity and repair their marriage, Natalie has been spotted without her wedding ring in recent public appearances.
