We're still in denial about some of these... I’m the SEO Resident here at BuzzFeed, and I cover everything from trending pop culture and celebrity news to evergreen entertainment and lifestyle topics. After dating for two years, Ali Wong and Bill Hader ended their relationship in January 2026. "It was too difficult to make the relationship work with Ali’s upcoming stand-up tour and Bill’s various film and TV projects this year," a source told People. "They’re focusing on their work and kids, while continuing to support and root for each other." The couple first went public with their relationship in April 2023, though they were first linked back in 2022 after Ali's divorce from her ex-husband, Justin Hakuta, and Bill's split from Anna Kendrick. Despite their split, the Saturday Night Live alum and actor-comedian reportedly remain friends who keep in touch. Cardi B seemingly confirmed that she had split from Stefon during a Little Miss Drama Tour show on Feb. 15, saying, “Just because I ain’t fucking with my baby daddy doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy.” On Feb. 25, an inside source stated that, "Things were getting too heated and complicated. Cardi is very no-nonsense. The second she felt that she couldn't trust him, she pulled back to focus on her kids, her music, and tour." The rapper-songwriter and New England Patriots wide receiver welcomed their first child in November 2025, and engagement rumors surrounded the 2026 Super Bowl after Stefon teased that a ring was "on the agenda, maybe." However, breakup rumors started once fans noticed that the two had unfollowed each other on Instagram. "She needs stability and wants the same for her kids," the insider said, while hinting that their relationship may not be over once and for all. "They co-parent, and the door is not completely closed. They might reconnect in the future." A source confirmed to Entertainment Tonight on Jan. 26 that the supermodel and professional equestrian had split, following two years of dating. The source stated that, "Bella is doing her best to stay positive and distract herself since their split. She's been staying busy with work and spending time with close friends. She is still processing the breakup since it was a very serious relationship." On Feb. 20, a representative of Alexandra's shared a statement with People that confirmed the two had decided to end their marriage after three years. "The decision was made with love and respect," the statement said. It went on to address the White Lotus alum and film producer's 15-month-old son, stating, "They will continue to co-parent their child together and appreciate privacy as they navigate this transition." On Feb. 9, multiple sources confirmed that the singer-songwriter and actor were officially off again. "They still love each other, which is why they've kept trying to make it work," a source said. "But their lives are in very different places right now. Figuring out where to live and how to truly merge their lives has been hard lately. It's been something they've gone back and forth on. They just want to be happy, though. They've been trying to figure out a situation where they are both happy together, but that doesn't seem possible at the moment." This came after Kelsea spoke to Entertainment Tonight about their relationship at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Feb. 1, stating, "We’ve been together for quite a while now and done a lot of life together. He was with me getting ready today, and he’ll be with me when we wrap." Since then, neither has publicly addressed the breakup. After dating for three years, the singer-songwriters reportedly split in January 2026. Sources shared that the couple "quietly ended their relationship a few months ago amid ongoing speculation," and that their breakup was amicable, with the two still on good terms. After four years together, Jesy confirmed that she had split from her fiancé, Zion Foster, in an interview with the Daily Mail on Feb. 2. The Little Mix-turned-solo star opened up about her and Zion's experience with their 8-month-old twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, who were diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). "We have been through such a traumatic experience, and for us, our girls are our main priority and our main focus," she said. "We want to give them the most positive, happy, and uplifting time and energy, and because we have both been through such a traumatic experience, the energy wasn't right between us, which is understandable," Jesy continued. "We are still friends, and we are still united in co-parenting our daughters, they are our main focus, that's all we can do, be the best possible parents we can right now." After five years together and two years of marriage, the beauty influencer announced on Feb. 12 via a TikTok video that she and Cody had decided to split in 2025 and that they were now getting a divorce. She began the video by saying, "I am getting a divorce. Take a minute, take it in. I am getting a divorce." Mikayla continued, stating, "We would do literally anything for each other. I want you to know that. I'm not going to be sharing any details whatsoever as to why Cody and I have made this decision. The main reason I am doing that is because I want to protect Cody. Cody deserves that. He and I were together for five years, married for two. And they are some of the best memories of my life. Memories that I will cherish forever. And I do not regret a single thing." "I want to guarantee you that no amount of speculation, no one claiming they know why we're getting a divorce, no video from a tea page or a drama channel, knows why Cody and I made the decision. The only people that know why Cody and I made this decision is Cody and I. I just want to make that very, very clear," she explained. "I've spent the last few months processing this. A lot of crying, a lot of talking to family, friends, therapy, everything you can think of, to get to a place where I can make this video. Now, I heal." "We're entering a completely new chapter of our lives, an unexpected chapter, and we're embracing it," Mikayla continued. "And even if it's terrifying, it's exciting, too. Listen, sometimes life has different plans for you, and Cody and I have both accepted that." On Jan. 30, the couple shared a statement to Out magazine that stated, "After nine years together, we have decided to end our marriage; however, our lifelong commitment to co-parenting will forever remain." The two met on the set of Orange Is the New Black in 2012, where Samira played Poussey Washington, and Lauren worked as a writer on the series. Their split technically happened in 2025, as The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum announced in a since-deleted Instagram post on Dec. 31. Brit also shared a statement that read, "I’m posting this on the last day of 365 to remove this facade of faking like this marriage is going to work. Everybody can’t come into the next chapter. I’m done hurting and I want to be happy in my next chapter. Cheers to 2026 of putting my happiness first 🥂 ✌🏽 (And for the record as much as I can’t stand him, we are not going to create a false narrative that I’m walking away because of any fake made up rumors)." The statement went on, saying, "I can be chill, fun, easy to get along with ...I can vibe with anybody. But the second I feel disrespected, everything in me shifts. My peace goes out the window, my patience disappears, and that soft version of me turns sharp real quick. I'm self-aware enough to know I'm a good woman. I'm kind, I'm genuine, I'm understanding, and I always try to lead with love," she said. "But that's exactly why disrespect hits so deep ... because I know how much grace l give before I ever lose it. When I snap, it's never random, it's a reaction. What you put in is what you get out of me. Still, I'm learning. Learning not to let people pull me out of character. Learning that not everyone deserves a response. Learning that peace is better than proving a point. Because growth isn't about never being triggered... it's about recognizing what triggers you and protecting yourself before you get there. Know your triggers. Guard your peace. Stay away from the people, places, and situations that force you to become someone you've worked too hard to outgrow." Mike also made a statement to People, stating, "All marriages have ups and downs; we just happen to go through things publicly. I’ve always had the utmost respect for my wife and our union. In spite of some of our issues being brought to the public, I will not feed into the drama and narratives being painted." Arielle confirmed her split from her former costar on The Vampire Diaries less than one year after announcing their relationship on Kaitlyn Bristowe's Off the Vine podcast on Feb. 19. She said that she has not been in a relationship "in quite some time.” Arielle continued, stating that, “I’ve had this conversation with many girlfriends going through either a breakup or a divorce, and some are ‘I’m sorry’ because there is so much love and grief there, and others are ‘congratulations’ because it’s the hardest best thing you could do for yourself. So, I actually do understand both.” The current Marshals actress described the breakup as one of the hardest things she’s ever been through, and went on to say, “What it has taught me now is the gratitude of what I’ve learned and also, ‘What do I need to explore to really change patterns for myself in the future for my heart, for my soul, for what I want moving forward?’ And I don’t think I was ever really able to be that honest with myself until now.” On Jan. 19, the Summer House stars announced their split following over four years of marriage in a message posted to their Instagram stories, stating, “After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” they wrote. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing. It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter." A week later, the Summer House cast made a public appearance for the show’s upcoming season premiere, where Kyle stated, “I don't think anything can kind of prepare you for a big public breakup, but I think that more important than anything is just making sure that Amanda is good, and it's just been amazing having her support, because it is not easy. We put it all out there — the good, the bad, and the ugly, so we just appreciate everyone acknowledging what we're going through, and it ain't easy.” In an interview with Marie Claire published on March 3, Amanda opened up about how she was feeling post-breakup, saying, “Honestly, I feel like I’m on cloud nine. Unstoppable." She also discussed what led to their split, stating, “We were both struggling with the decision to call it quits, and that’s where I faded away and lost myself a bit. But it just got to a point where I knew I had given the relationship everything I had, and there was no fight left in me. We looked at each other like, ‘This isn't going to go anywhere.’” On Jan. 16, the One Tree Hill star shared the news of his split from The Secret Life of the American Teenager alum after 11 years of marriage on Instagram. The post read, "I've never been super comfortable sharing personal information about our family life, but I've seen enough speculation online that I thought warranted clarity. Some time ago, Megan and I decided to end our marriage. We continue to make the kids and co-parenting the priority. Thanks for continuing to respect our privacy." The former couple shares two children, including their daughter, Winnie Hilton (5), and their son, Benny Hilton (17 months). It was reported on Jan. 28 that Patricia had quietly filed for divorce from the Saturday Night Live alum on Dec. 8, in Maricopa County, Arizona, according to court records. People obtained the divorce filing, where the documents say the marriage is "irretrievably broken and there is no possibility of reconciliation." The former couple shares two kids, Miranda Scarlett (13) and Madeline Robbie (9).
