As the new year is quickly approaching, we’re dissecting the celebrity breakups of 2023, diving into the reasons behind these stars going their separate ways. Whether they’re reality TV personalities, actors, or musicians, let’s explore some couples whose love was destined for a limited time.
Cardi B and Offset
In early December, Cardi B officially confirmed her separation from Offset, marking the end of their six-year marriage. This revelation came amid swirling rumors suggesting that Offset had been unfaithful with Chrisean Rock.
“I don’t care to find out because I’ve been single for a minute now,” she told her followers. “I just don’t know how to tell the world.”
Cardi B and Offset tied the knot in a private ceremony in September 2017. The couple, who shares two children, daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus and son Wave Set Cephus, experienced a brief separation in late 2020.
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris ended their relationship in November after just over a year of dating. In a joint statement, Harvey and Idris said, “We are at a point in our lives where our individual paths require our full attention and dedication. We part ways remaining friends with nothing but love and respect for each other and the time we shared together.”
Speculation about their romance began in 2022 when they were seen leaving a West Hollywood restaurant together. The following month, the model and “Snowfall” actor appeared to confirm their relationship by sharing a photo together on Idris’s Instagram Story.
Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert
In September, Teyana Taylor revealed her separation from Iman Shumpert. The announcement marked an end to their seven-year marriage. The announcement followed speculations about Shumpert’s fidelity, sparked by a circulating online video showing him in the company of another woman. Taylor addressed the rumors in an Instagram post, surprising many as she candidly disclosed, “In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. We are still the best of friends, great business partners, and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our two beautiful children.”
Reportedly, Teyana filed for divorce in January 2023, although the news of their separation only became public recently. The couple, parents to two daughters named Junie and Rue Rose, is navigating the legal process with Teyana seeking primary physical custody, joint legal custody, and child support.
Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson
Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, filed for divorce from her second husband, Richard Lawson, on July 26. The businesswoman cited “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for their separation.
Despite being friends for decades, Tina and Richard decided to explore a romantic relationship in 2013 and eventually tied the knot two years later in a beautiful ceremony on a yacht in Newport Beach, California. Prior to her relationship with Richard, Tina was previously married to Mathew Knowles, with whom she shares daughters Beyoncé and Solange.
Jeannie Mai and Jeezy
On September 15, it was reported that Jeezy had filed for divorce from Jeannie Mai, just one year after the birth of their daughter, Monaco. As per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the rapper and former “Real” co-host are currently separated, and they have a prenuptial agreement in effect. The couple, who dated for three years, tied the knot in March 2021.
