‘Til death do us part is so old-school. In Hollywood, it’s a huge achievement to make it past a year of marriage.
If you thought Kim Kardashian’s 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries was short-lived, you’re in for a treat!
From Britney Spears to Cher, we take a look back at some of Hollywood’s most fleeting flings that ended in divorce.
Click through to see which celebrity holds the record for the shortest marriage ever.
55 hours: Britney Spears’ time spent as Jason Alexander’s wife lasted less than three days. The childhood friends said “I do” in Las Vegas in 2004 but quickly realised their mistake, calling for an annulment.
Four months: Lisa Marie Presley’s third marriage was also her shortest. The daughter of Elvis married Nicolas Cage in August 2002 after the pair met at a friend’s house party in 1999. They called it quits in November 2002.
9 months: Drew Barrymore and Tom Green announced their shock marriage in 2011. 9 months later, the pair announced their divorce. Opening up about the relationship, Tom said, “All of that was part of that sort of crazy, whirlwind of a time.”
Six weeks: Drew Barrymore’s marriage to Jeremy Thomas made her 9-month stint with Tom Green seem like a lifetime. It was the actress’ first marriage and happened when she was just 19 years of age.
Eight months: Opening up about their short-lived marriage in New York magazine in 2014, Elisabeth Moss said the whole experience was “extremely traumatic and “awful and horrible”. The actor himself also told Howard Stern that he was a “terrible husband” during their tumultuous relationship.
72 days: Kim Kardashian married basketball star Kris Humphries in an extravagant wedding in 2011. It’s believed she made $2.7 million from the televised event.
Nine days: That’s right, just nine days after she wed Gregg Allman in Las Vegas in 1975, Cher filed to have the marriage dissolved. She had also just finalised her divorce from Sonny Bono three days before.
Four months: Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito was married in December 2006, with the actress filing for divorce in May 2007. Fast forward to 2014 and Jennifer released a book in which she slammed an ex… Bradley. She went so far as to call him a “master manipulator” and said she was “walking on eggshells”.
Five months: Former One Tree Hill co-stars Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray married in 2005. When asked about her ex in an interview on Watch What Happens Live, the actress said, “We were two stupid kids who had no business being in a relationship in the first place.”
Four months: Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock were married in July 2006 and split just before Thanksgiving the same year.
