In the bright lights of Hollywood, whirlwind romances and quickie weddings are not unusual. We’ve seen celebrities profess love at breakneck speeds, exchanging vows before the ink on their fresh love letters has even dried. But as quickly as these love stories develop, many tend to fade even faster, leaving behind stories of love turned sour. Here, we look into the journeys of 15 celebrities who went from happily saying ‘I Do’ to regretfully stating ‘I Don’t,’ all in record time. Is this a trend of rushed romance or a more complicated scenario covered in fame and fortune?
Nicolas Cage & Erika Koike
Bonkers actor, Nic Cage, has been wed five times in his life, and his fourth attempt lasted a whopping four days before the pair called it a day.
In March 2019, the Snake Eyes actor wed his secret girlfriend in Las Vegas before annulling the marriage less than a week later.
Britney Spears & Jason Alexander
Another Las Vegas union that didn’t stand the test of time.
Britney infamously married her childhood friend, Alexander, drunkenly in early 2004. The two were married for 55 hours before evidently coming to their senses.
Drew Barrymore & Jeremy Thomas
Back in the day, Drew was known for her free-spirited ways, which evidently led to impromptu wedding decisions.
In 1994, when Drew was a fresh-faced 19-year-old, she married Thomas for 39 days after dating him for only six weeks. The decision was made while the two were out partying one night.
Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Esposito
Cooper dated the NCIS star in the early noughties, and they quietly wed in the South of France in 2004.
However, it wasn’t meant to be, as the pair called it quits 122 days later.
Carmen Electra & Dennis Rodman
Before there was Britney and Jason, there was Carmen and Dennis.
These two were on a boozy bender in 1998 and decided to hit the fast-moving chapels of Las Vegas while absolutely hammered. They swiftly sobered up and filed for an annulment 129 days later.
Tracey Edmonds & Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy’s off-screen antics have been well-publicized over the years – including his relationships.
Shrek star Murphy wed Edmonds back in 2008; the marriage of which lasted approximately a fortnight.
Mario Lopez & Ali Landry
Another marriage that didn’t make it a month was that of actors Mario Lopez and Ali Landry.
Lopez famously confessed in his memoir that Landry broke it off when she found out he’d cheated on her during his bachelor party.
Kris Humphries & Kim Kardashian
While Kardashian’s marriage to rapper Kanye West was arguably her most publicized one, who can forget about her nuptials to the NBA star Kris Humphries?!
The marriage lasted only 72 days, with many accusing the pair of doing it as a publicity stunt.
Nicolas Cage & Lisa Marie Presley
Well, well, well. Look who’s made the list again!
The serial wedder’s marriage to the daughter of Elvis Presley lasted only 107 days, which is a little more successful than his marriage to Koike.
Colin Farrell & Amelia Warner
Irish hunk Farrell is known for his, ah, well-documented horizontal tangoes with the ladies, but many don’t know he once attempted marital bliss.
Fazza married Amelia back in 2001, which lasted all of 121 days. According to Farrell himself, they were both moving “too fast, too soon.”
Pamela Anderson & Kid Rock
Pam’s love life has been a colorful one over the years. She’s been known for a series of on-again, off-again romances – including one with Rock.
The pair tied the knot in 2006 before annulling the marriage four months later. Anderson has famously stated the movie Borat was why the marriage dissolved… okay then.
Kenny Chesney & Renée Zellweger
This whirlwind marriage started with a beach wedding and ended with the word “fraud.”
Why fraud was cited for their annulment is unknown, but the marriage only lasted 128 days.
Tom Green & Drew Barrymore
Unlucky-in-love Drew has made the list again! This time with kooky comedian Tom Green.
Despite being engaged for over a year, the marriage itself lasted a total of 129 days.
Sophia Bush & Chad Michael Murray
These two are a fine example of the dangers of mixing business with pleasure.
The One Tree Hill stars tied the knot in 2005 but pulled the plug 165 days later. Bush later admitted the marriage resulted from them being “stupid kids.”
Cris Judd & J-Lo
Jennifer Lopez’s love life has been as well-documented as her career, and this 218-day marriage was no exception.
J-Lo wed backup dancer Judd after a one-month-long engagement before amicably parting ways in 2002.
