Love does not always last three years, and the same can be said about marriage. Let’s remember celebrities who were in the status of wife or husband for a record short amount of time. We recommend rereading the selection every time you reproach yourself for a failed romance!
Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd
“It’s hard for my exes to live in my shadow, knowing that they’ll never make the money that I make,” the singer says of her failed romances. But the tabloids remember the times when Jennifer Lopez was not picky: first she married waiter Ojani Noa, and a few years later she tied the knot with backup dancer Chris Judd. The marriage lasted just over nine months. Before Chris had even picked up his toothbrush, Jennifer Lopez had already started an affair with Ben Affleck, whom she met on the set of the film Gigli.
Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock
Pamela Anderson and American rapper Kid Rock’s marriage lasted 122 days, or four months. From the very beginning, it could hardly be called strong: the couple quarreled and broke up almost weekly. According to rumors, Rock decided to divorce, suspecting his wife of cheating on him with his colleague in the film “Borat” Sacha Baron Cohen. Incidentally, Kid is the only one of Pamela’s ex-husbands with whom she has not spoken for many years, being on good terms with the others.
Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney
The winner of two Oscar statuettes, Renee Zellweger, paradoxically had no luck in her personal life: she dated Jim Carrey, Bradley Cooper, John Krasinski, but never made it to the altar with anyone. In 2005, the actress got married for the first and last time, her chosen one was country singer Kenny Chesney. Before fans had time to rejoice for Renee, four months later she demanded an annulment of the marriage, according to rumors, because of her husband’s infidelity. Now the 53-year-old actress has finally found happiness: she is dating British TV presenter Ant Anstead, the couple even chose a house to live together.
Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley
Nicolas Cage is a big fan of Elvis Presley. We think this circumstance fully explains how these two ended up at the altar. The actor and the daughter of the King of Rock and Roll got married in 2002, and just three and a half months later filed for divorce. The official reason for the breakup was incompatibility of characters. “Look how much money Ben Affleck spent on J. Lo. When Nick opens his wallet, moths fly out,” Lisa Marie complained to journalists.
Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas
Drew Barrymore is a true punk of the marriage market. At 16, she almost married Leland Hayward, at 17 she got engaged to musician Jamie Walters, and at 19 she exchanged rings with Los Angeles bar owner Jeremy Thomas. However, after 50 days, Drew appeared in court with a statement of divorce. Since then, the actress has become more cautious: the next marriage record appeared in her passport only 16 years later – it lasted four years and brought Barrymore two daughters.
Britney Spears and Jason Alexander
In early January 2004, Britney Spears married her childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander for the first time. Two days later, without even finishing the wedding cake, the newlyweds called it quits. Since it was held in Las Vegas, the pop diva conveniently got away with it: she said she took the wedding as a joke. Now this marriage is the shortest in celebrity circles. We would be surprised if someone else set this record!
