Divorces are never fun and unfortunately, Kanye West is finding out the hard way. It’s a tale as old as time for wildly popular celebrities to break things off with their spouses in a public forum. Sadly, West isn’t the only Black celebrity to move forward with dissolving his marriage. Sure, all splits weren’t as salacious as the West-Kardashian drama currently transpiring, but we can’t help but feel like the below breakups signified the end of an era. So much so, that we’re still reeling from these separations.

Check out five celebrity breakups that had us all shook.

1. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

When these two superstars wed in 2008, it felt like a cultural reset in the best way possible. Unfortunately, that reset was drowned when news of their divorce hit the airwaves in 2012. The couple shares a set of twins named Moroccan and Monroe.

2. Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin

Blending the glamour of Hollywood and the faith of religion can be tricky for most couples, but not Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin. Unfortunately, their wedded bliss came to an end late last year after nine years of marriage.

3. Monica and Shannon Brown

Fans all over the world rejoiced when famed singer Monica married NBA player Shannon Brown in 2010. Known for belting out some of the greatest love songs to exist, the Atlanta native finally had her fairytale ending until splitting from Brown in 2019.

4. Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa

Before influencers were an actual thing, Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa were the ultimate couple goals. After having a son, they ultimately divorced.

5. Kenya Moore and Marc Daly

Reality television has become synonymous with personality Kenya Moore. As one of the leading stars of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, fans were able to tune into her journey of being married to Marc Daly, but that ended when the couple separated. Moore and Daly are parents to one daughter.

We may not be privy to the inner workings of these former relationships, but we can still mourn their separation. Who’s your favorite celebrity couple? And who were you sad to see breakup?
