Longtime American Pie actress Mena Suvari and ex-hubby Simone Sestito ended their marriage on a cordial note after a year and a half of marriage, according to UsMagazine.com. Suvari’s rep tells TMZ, “Neither party will pay the other any support,” after Sestito formerly requested a little over $17,000 dollars a month. The 33-year old star denied rumors that being in the spotlight played a role in her split with the concert promoter in Boston Common magazine. Suvari said, “It’s taken years to get to know myself. I had never really taken time to cultivate who I was.” This marks the actress’ second divorce after her 2005 split with cinematographer Robert Brinkmann.

Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb seemed to have the perfect relationship. But, underneath their success and PDA, it turns out the couple were on completely different wavelengths. While Vergara’s focus was on her entertainment career, his was more concentrated on politics. As an insider told People, “It was never a good match. She is fiery and free-spirited and wants to enjoy life to the fullest by traveling and going to parties and events. He’s very concerned with his businesses, political aspirations and ultimately settling down.” Though the couple are said to have broken up and gotten back together many times, the Modern Family star also has a history of sticking by her man both after a serious car accident and during Loeb’s run for the Florida U.S. Senate.

Lady Gaga’s hectic popstar lifestyle was just too much to handle along with her relationship with actor, Taylor Kinney. The couple had been dating for ten months, and have decided to take a break. A source told UsMagazine.com, “She will be touring nonstop until next year and has found she can’t have relationship at the same time.” Gaga and Kinney weren’t what you’d exactly call the perfect couple either, a friend claims. “Taylor was all about himself, a typical actor, and didn’t completely get Gaga.” Maybe they were headed for a brick wall from the start.

Jennie Garth is dealing with a divorce from her ex-husband Peter Facinelli in a new way. According to People, four dogs, two goats, five cats, two miniature horses and a pig are helping her cope. “Having all these animals fills a void for me because I’m kind of going through a rough time right now. The animals give you unconditional love, and that feels good,” Garth said on the premier of her new show Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country. “I think that my animals give me a sense of like relief, like they make me feel like none of that other bull matters,” Garth told her assistant. Garth’s slow, paced country lifestyle is just what she needs to get back on her feet after her break-up.

With fame comes glamour and wealth. These are things everyone wants, but they can also take a toll on a relationship. With a celebrity’s busy schedule and a seemingly bottomless bank account, it’s hard to make time and decisions for things other than themselves. The fact of the matter is that there’s only so much a relationship can take before the best decision is to just call it quits. Here are some of the issues that can ultimately break up a celebrity couple:

Adam Levine was apparently not planning on being single anytime soon. After two years of dating, ex-girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna was reportedly ready to move on. The problem was that Levine didn’t get the memo, much like Seal with his impending divorce. According to UsMagazine.com, Vyalitsyna announced the break up to the world April 2 without giving him a heads-up. Friends saw it coming, however, citing a “lack of proposal” as one of the catalysts for the split.

It’s been two years, but Kate Gosselin still isn’t ready to move on. Gosselin, 36, revealed that she is lonely and unhappy with her love life on Dr. Drew Wednesday, reports RadarOnline. Gosselin separated from her now ex-husband Jon Gosselin two years ago, but doesn’t feel the time is right to find the man who would be willing to take on eight kids yet. “I absolutely [want to find someone]!” said Gosselin. “The odds are so against me, one mom and eight kids…so it would be great. I mean, I’m so lonely. I clean up the house, put the kids to bed and there I sit. Ideally I would find that person…I don’t know if I feel ready for that.”

Newly single Katy Perry may be using her music as an outlet for her divorce with Russell Brand. A nominee for record of the year, Perry performed at the Grammy Awards. She came out with “E.T.” and then followed it up with her new song titled “Part of Me.” According to People, with lyrics like, “You can keep everything.” It sure sounds like the singer was making a reference to Brand.

If the reported relationship woes are true, then Adam Levine will have to find someone else to serenade. UsMagazine.com reports that the Maroon 5 frontman and Victoria’s Secret model Anne V’s relationship may be over after two years. A source says that the duo got into a fight, and she dumped him. The source also said that the reason behind the arguing is that V doesn’t think “he treats her well.” To add to that case, Levine did not have his date with him at the Golden Globes. Despite this, Levine’s rep struck down the rumor as “100 percent not true.”

After the world saw their marriage come together and fall apart, Kris Humphries said he’s come to terms with his split from Kim Kardashian and is in a better place. The New Jersey Nets forward is focusing on his game on the court rather than the one off, averaging 13.2 points per game and 10.6 rebounds per game this season. “I’m not dating anyone right now. What do they say, my girlfriend is Spalding,” he said in an interview with Access Hollywood. “I always tell people basketball is like my therapy. Some people talk to psychologists, I just need to go play basketball; that’s it.” The Humphries-Kardashian marriage, which aired as a special on E!, lasted 72 days, ended with Kardashian filing for divorce on Oct. 31. Since then, Humphries said his family and religion have been essential to him moving forward. “I’m in a great place,” he said.

After living in the spotlight for more than three decades, Demi Moore has lost her cool. According to People, after her November split from husband Ashton Kutcher, the actress slowly worked up to a full-fledged breakdown. Although it’s not clear whether this was caused by her divorce or not, Moore has been seeking treatment since Jan. 23 after being whisked away in an ambulance for what some are now reporting as a seizure. A source says, “Ego-wise, this is the worst thing that could happen to Demi, because she’s such a private person. She’s embarrassed.” Moore has been studying Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism, which instructs that adversity can prove beneficial to her healing process. Moore’s troubles “can be an opportunity, a blessing and not a curse. The right intervention happened in her life. From a spiritual sense, it’s a gift. She had a real opportunity to grow from it. She has to take responsibility for her life,” said the source.

It seems as if the breakup between Emma Roberts and Chord Overstreet could have easily been predicted. Roberts was constantly leaving Overstreet out of her plans, sources say. Glee’s Overstreet, 22, was left out of Roberts’ “girl’s night” New Year’s plans, and she also reportedly ignored his texts the night of the Golden Globes after-party, which ended in drama and tears. According to UsMagazine.com, Overstreet was overheard saying, “Emma does this all the time when she doesn’t want to see me.” Although her reps claim that he was too controlling for the young star’s busy career life, the relationship had hit a dead end.
