In the hollywood industry, many couples gain fame for their on-screen chemistry, becoming beloved pairs to audiences worldwide. While some of these relationships are purely fictional, there are instances where the love portrayed on-screen extends into real life, with celebrities finding happiness together off-camera. However, not all of these real-life relationships stand the test of time. Some couples have separated, and while some breakups are publicized, others are only rumored. Celebrities often find themselves in the media limelight, with their personal lives scrutinized by fans and reporters alike. Social media posts and appearances at public events often provide insight into their relationships, fueling speculation and sometimes confirming what's truly going on. Celebrity breakups of 2024 include some pretty public and highly visible celebrity breakups, including Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Cardi B and Offset, and Kristin Cavallari and Mark Estes. Here is a list of recent couples who have parted ways:
1. Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan: Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan broke up early in 2024 after more than a year of dating.

It is reported that this tension eventually took its toll on the couple, leading them to separate. Larsa confirmed she does not keep in touch with Marcus and enjoys being single. She is more interested in her job and her family. Since the breakup, Marcus was often seen with Nicole Murphy, indicating that he's indeed moved on.
