Celebrities' lives are under constant scrutiny. Everyone wants to have a say in their lives and even their romantic relationships. This, however, does not mean that all Hollywood relationships do not last. Famous couples like Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have made it despite the odds.
Some, however, are not so lucky. Here are the most high profile celebrity break-ups 2019.
