(#3) Brad Pitt And Jennifer Aniston
After five years of marriage, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorced in 2005. Rumors flew that Angelina Jolie broke up the happy couple, and a media frenzy ensued. But Aniston explained it differently:
Nobody did anything wrong. But we wish nothing but wonderful things for each other. You know what I mean? It was just like, sometimes things [happen].
As for Jolie's rumored involvement, Aniston said:
I think it's time people stop with that petty B.S. and just start celebrating great work and stop with the petty kind of silliness. It's just tiresome and old. It's like an old leather shoe. Let's buy a new pair of shiny shoes.

(#6) Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner
- TV Episode
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner became friends in the early 2000s, started dating in 2004, and got married a year later. In 2017, they divorced. Garner described to Vanity Fair what marriage to Affleck was like and what caused the split:
He's the love of my life. What am I going to do about that? He's the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He's just a complicated guy. I always say, "When his sun shines on you, you feel it." But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it's cold. He can cast quite a shadow.
Garner detailed her post-divorce life in an interview with an Australian news outlet, admitting:
I would not have chosen this life for myself or for my kids. I would not choose to be single or be in this position. It’s something that we are working through. I haven’t been on a date, and I am not interested in dating. People want to set me up, and I am just like, "No thank you!"

(#9) Mandy Moore And Ryan Adams
Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams were married from 2009 to 2016. Looking back, after a rough divorce and a custody battle for their shared pets, Moore explained how she lost sight of herself in the relationship - a perspective that prompted the split:
I wasn’t a participant in my own life for a while. I poured so much of myself into my personal life, and when that wasn’t as fruitful as I hoped it would be and I extricated myself from that situation, I was able to realize I wasn’t honoring myself and my dreams and what I wanted in life... There was a period in my life when [life] was so beautiful, and I had this really fascinating person [through whom] I got to see a completely different perspective on the world... My story deviated in a different direction than I expected. But ultimately, life is about being happy and fulfilled, and sometimes that means making hard choices.

(#19) Angelina Jolie And Billy Bob Thornton
For three years, Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton were Hollywood's favorite odd couple. After their 2003 divorce, they remained friends, but Thornton later explained the main reason the marriage didn't work. As he told the Hollywood Foreign Press:
We just had different lifestyles. Hers is a global lifestyle and mine is an agoraphobic lifestyle. So, that's really - that's the only reason we're probably not still together, maybe, because of a different path in life we wanted to take.
