Hey, it’s tough to stay together no matter what nowadays. For us normies, it’s difficult in college, and in long-distance relationships, and when someone gets a job and has to move all the way across the country. But it’s probably even harder for celebrities, who have all the added pressure of the limelight on them, which undoubtedly takes a toll on their relationships.
Still, there have been plenty of couples in the industry who have been on the brink of divorce — only to change their minds and try to salvage their marriage. From Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus to P!nk and Carey Hart to Rhea Pearlman and Danny DeVito to Snoop Dogg and his high school sweetheart Shante, check out the 12 pairs of celeb couples below who almost got divorced — but didn’t.
1. Tish & Billy Ray Cyrus
Tish and Billy Ray have been married for around 25 years now, but the staying together as long as they have wasn’t always so easy. The couple publicly announced they were divorcing back in 2010 and again in 2013. They never actually went through with either of the divorces, and are happy to be together for as long as they have!
2. T.I. & Tiny
The pair have been on again off again since their marriage in 2010. Tiny filed for divorce two times in 2016 and again in 2017. They’ve apparently being working through the issues and remain together today.
3. Brian Austin Green & Megan Fox
Back in 2015, about five years into their marriage, Megan filed for divorce with Brian. The two ended up announcing that they were expecting their third child together and have since gotten back together.
4. Patrick Dempsey & Jillian Harris
The couple filed for divorce after 15 years of marriage in 2015. After they announced the divorce they decided to try harder to work on their marriage and got back together in 2016. Dempsey and Harris have since been spotted looking very happy and in love.
5. Rhea Perlman & Danny DeVito
Rhea and Danny have been married since 1982. The duo separated in 2012, but got back together in 2016 only to split up again. They’ve since reconciled with each other and there’s even talk of them renewing their vows.
6. Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones
Things were pretty rocky in the Zeta-Jones-Douglas household for a while, according to The Sun, especially after it was revealed that the actor had allegedly contracted HPV but never told his wife. Back in 2013, words like “crumbled” were being used to describe their marriage, which is now anything but — in fact, their son just went off to college and made a family appearance on the red carpet with their daughter.
7. Anthony & Alvina Anderson
Anthony Anderson and his wife managed to save their marriage of more than 20 years. The two were separated in 2014, and Alvina filed for divorce in 2015, citing “irreconcilable differences,” according to The Daily Mail. However, in 2017 she called off the divorce, and the two have remained happily married since.
8. Snoop Dogg & Shante Taylor
There have been so many rumors that Snoop Dogg was either leaving his high school sweetheart, or Shante was leaving him. However, no matter how close to the brink this couple got, they always managed to save their marriage and just celebrated 20 years together.
9. P!NK & Carey Hart
In 2008, Carey Hart and P!nk went so far on one of their breaks that they actually decided to file for divorce. While it hasn’t been an easy road for the couple — splitting multiple times on and off — the two managed to salvage their marriage and later went on two have two adorable kids.
10. Big Boi & Sherlita Patton
Big Boi revealed to TMZ that it was Jesus and the couple’s faith that brought them back from the brink of divorce.
11. Heidi & Spencer Pratt
It was just for a few months, but Heidi was serious when she filed for divorce from Spencer Pratt in June 2010. However, reality TV’s fave villainous couple reconciled and Heidi called off the divorce in September of the same year.
12. Timbaland & Monique Idlett
Yikes. Timbaland’s wife has not only filed for divorce twice from the hip-hop producer, the couple are still going through their second divorce, apparently — even though it’s been a hot minute since they’ve done anything about it. While it seems that tensions are high, do you think they could reconcile once again — or go through with the split for good?
