Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 8 MIN.
Ariana Madix & Tom Sandoval
Whether you watch "Vanderpump Rules" or not, the scandal that was "Scandoval" became national and international news. Bisexual icon Ariana Madix very publicly split from her longtime boyfriend Tom (the Sandoval for which this drama was named) after he was caught on camera cheating on her with a fellow "Vanderpump Rules" cast member.
Ricky Martin & Jwan Yosef
They first connected on Instagram in 2015, and began dating six months later. The men, who got married in 2018 and share four children, announced in a joint Instagram post that they "decided to end our marriage with love, respect, and dignity for our children and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all these wonderful years."
Ashlyn Harris & Ali Krieger
We mentioned above that the sapphic group chat set ablaze after Sophia Bush began dating Ashlyn Harris when both of their marriages had ended suspiciously recently. This is one of those divorces. The Team USA soccer stars met as teammates in 2010, married in 2019, and split up in September this year. They each have two World Cup wins to their name (in fact, they married after winning the 2019 World Cup together), and share two children.
Billy Porter & Adam Smith
After six years of marriage, and a two-week-long engagement following many years of dating, trailblazer and "Pose" actor Billy Porter and his husband Adam Smith announced their divorce in July. In August, Porter made it clear that he is "back on the market," and by October, he confirmed he has been "dating around."
