The year 2025 has already witnessed a wave of high-profile celebrity separations, with announcements piling up in just the first three quarters. While it may prove difficult to surpass the dramatic number of A-list splits in 2024, which saw the end of couples such as Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover, Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum, and Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, the current year is shaping up to be just as eventful.
Below is a round-up of notable breakups that have captured attention in 2025 so far.

According to The Post, a source revealed that Censori “had enough” following West’s string of antisemitic outbursts and his decision to promote swastika T-shirts on his Yeezy website during the 2025 Super Bowl.
“The swastika shirt was the last straw. She told him that’s not who she is, and that she can’t be associated with that,” the insider said, adding that West insisted “he has dominion over her” and would continue selling the shirts.

Their marriage, which began in December 2022, had already faced speculation in late 2024 when rumours of a split surfaced. Despite reconciling at the time, West’s behaviour at the 2025 Grammys and subsequent inflammatory remarks on X, where he proclaimed admiration for Adolf Hitler, reportedly ended things for good.
Reports suggest that under a post-marital agreement, Censori will receive $5 million and be allowed to remain at West’s $35 million Los Angeles home.
