25 Celebrity Marriages That Were Short and Sometimes Sweet

Once seen as a union of families and wealth, marriage is now a symbol of love and dedication. But even marriages that are entered into with the best intentions can end — in fact, a whopping 50 percent of all marriages in the U.S. lead to divorce.

On average, couples typically make it to the seven-year mark before going their separate ways, but in Hollywood, that’s an eternity. Instead, some celebrity couples chose to split before a year, month or even a week of wedded bliss had passed. These are 25 of Hollywood’s shortest-lasting celebrity marriages, listed from longest to shortest — a mere 55 hours.

Length of Marriage: 10 months

Jeremy Renner is known for his acting roles in films like “The Hurt Locker” and “The Avengers.” His ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco, is a Canadian actress and model. The two met on the set of “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” in 2011.

Despite their short-lived wedded bliss, the couple dated for a few years, and share a daughter, Ava. According to divorce papers, irreconcilable differences led to the demise of the marriage.

The couple has made their way in and out of the headlines as they continue to work out custody agreements.

Length of Marriage: 8 months 

Jennifer Lopez, aka J. Lo, can do it all. The award-winning actress, singer, dancer, fashion designer and businesswoman is an inspiration to many. Her former husband, Judd, who said it was love at first sight, was no different. After being engaged for just a month, the backup dancer and superstar wed on a mountaintop in September 2001.

Not even a year later, the couple called it quits. While Judd has spoken with members of the press about the stress the intense media focus had on their relationship, he said it ultimately didn’t work out. 

The pair went their separate ways, and each remarried. Despite both still working in Hollywood, Judd says their paths rarely cross.
