Hollywood weddings often make headlines, but sometimes the divorces steal the show even faster.
Some celebrity couples have said their vows only to call it quits within days, weeks, or just a few months.
Whether it was a wild Vegas night or a rushed decision, these speedy splits remind us that fame and love can be a tricky mix.
Get ready to look at some of the most jaw-dropping short-lived marriages in Hollywood history.
1. Zsa Zsa Gabor & Felipe de Alba — 1 Day
Talk about a blink-and-you-missed-it marriage!
Zsa Zsa Gabor and Felipe de Alba hold the record for one of the shortest celebrity marriages ever — just one single day.
They tied the knot on April 13, 1983, but there was a major problem: Zsa Zsa was technically still married to her previous husband.
Because of that legal hiccup, the marriage was annulled the very next day, on April 14, 1983.
Zsa Zsa, famous for her many marriages, added this wild chapter to her already colorful love life.
Sometimes even Hollywood’s most seasoned romantics can’t slow down long enough to get it right.
2. Britney Spears & Jason Alexander — 55 Hours
What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas — especially when you’re Britney Spears.
In January 2004, a 22-year-old Britney married her childhood friend Jason Alexander at a Las Vegas chapel at around 5:30 in the morning.
The whole thing felt more like a dare than a wedding.
Just 55 hours later, the marriage was officially annulled.
Britney’s management team and family moved quickly to undo the union, citing that she lacked understanding of her actions.
It became one of the most talked-about celebrity blunders of the 2000s and a reminder that midnight decisions rarely hold up by morning.
3. Nicolas Cage & Erika Koike — 4 Days
Nicolas Cage has had quite the romantic history, but his 2019 marriage to Erika Koike might top them all for sheer speed.
The two got married in Las Vegas in March 2019, and within just four days, Cage was already filing for an annulment in court.
He reportedly cited intoxication as a reason, claiming he wasn’t in the right state of mind when they wed.
The court eventually granted the annulment, closing one of Hollywood’s quickest chapters.
Cage had previously been married three times before, so this whirlwind Vegas adventure was just another unexpected twist in his famously unpredictable personal life.
4. Mario Lopez & Ali Landry — 18 Days
Mario Lopez, best known for his role on Saved by the Bell, married actress and model Ali Landry in a beautiful ceremony in Mexico on April 24, 2004.
It looked like a fairytale wedding — stunning location, glamorous guests, and a picture-perfect couple.
But just 18 days later, Ali filed for an annulment.
Reports later surfaced that Lopez had been unfaithful during his bachelor party weekend.
The news shocked fans who had admired the couple for years.
Ali has since moved on and spoken openly about the heartbreak.
Mario also went on to remarry and build a family, finding happiness the second time around.
5. Drew Barrymore & Jeremy Thomas — 39 Days
Before Drew Barrymore became known for her warm personality and long career, she had a rocky start in her personal life.
At just 19 years old, Drew married bar owner Jeremy Thomas on March 20, 1994.
The wedding was a spontaneous decision, much like many choices made at that age.
Only 39 days later, she filed for separation, and the marriage was quickly dissolved.
Drew later admitted the whole thing was impulsive.
Looking back, it’s easy to see this as a young woman still figuring herself out.
She went on to have two more marriages and eventually found stability as a mother and businesswoman.
6. Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries — 72 Days
Perhaps no celebrity divorce caused more public debate than Kim Kardashian’s split from NBA player Kris Humphries.
Their August 2011 wedding was a massive televised event, reportedly costing around $10 million.
Fans watched every moment on their reality show, making it feel like the wedding of the decade.
Then, just 72 days later, Kim filed for divorce.
Critics questioned whether the whole thing was staged for ratings, while others defended Kim’s right to end an unhappy relationship.
Kris fought the divorce in court, dragging it out for nearly two years.
The split remains one of the most scrutinized breakups in modern pop culture history.
7. Lisa Marie Presley & Nicolas Cage — 107 Days
Two of Hollywood’s most recognizable names came together in a surprising union back in 2002.
Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of the legendary Elvis Presley, married actor Nicolas Cage on August 10, 2002.
The pairing raised plenty of eyebrows, as the two seemed like an unlikely match from the start.
Their marriage lasted just 107 days before Lisa Marie filed for divorce in November 2002.
She later said the marriage was a mistake and that things moved far too quickly.
Cage, meanwhile, had already been married once before.
For two such high-profile personalities, their short-lived romance made for one very memorable Hollywood headline.
8. Amelia Warner & Colin Farrell — 121 Days
Colin Farrell was riding high on early Hollywood fame when he reportedly married British actress Amelia Warner in a private ceremony in July 2001.
The two had been dating for a short time before making the bold leap.
However, the union was never officially registered, making its legal status a bit murky.
By November 2001 — just 121 days later — the relationship was over.
Farrell later confirmed they had exchanged vows in a ceremony but that it was never legally binding.
Despite the confusion, the split was real and final.
Amelia went on to marry musician Jamie Dornan, while Colin continued his rise as a top Hollywood actor.
9. Pamela Anderson & Kid Rock — 122 Days
Pamela Anderson has had no shortage of headline-making relationships, but her marriage to rocker Kid Rock still stands out.
The two tied the knot on a yacht in Saint-Tropez, France, in July 2006.
It was a bold, rock-and-roll style wedding that matched both of their personalities perfectly.
Unfortunately, the honeymoon phase didn’t last.
After just 122 days together as a married couple, Kid Rock filed for divorce in November 2006.

Pamela has since reflected on the relationship with mixed emotions.
Still, their brief union remains one of the more colorful chapters in both of their lives.
10. Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Esposito — 122 Days
Before Bradley Cooper became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, he had a brief and little-known marriage.
Cooper wed actress Jennifer Esposito in December 2006, and the couple seemed hopeful about their future together.
At the time, both were rising names in the industry with promising careers ahead.
But by May 2007 — just 122 days into the marriage — Jennifer filed for divorce.
The reason cited was irreconcilable differences, though neither spoke much publicly about what went wrong.
Cooper went on to have several high-profile relationships and major film roles.
It’s a chapter of his life that many fans forget, overshadowed by his later superstar success.
11. Kenny Chesney & Renee Zellweger — 128 Days
Country superstar Kenny Chesney and Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger surprised everyone when they announced their marriage in May 2005.
The two had reportedly dated for just a few months before walking down the aisle in a private beach ceremony in the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
It felt like a whirlwind romance straight out of a movie.
Only 128 days later, Renee filed for an annulment, citing fraud as the reason.
That word set off a media firestorm, with many speculating about what it meant.
Kenny later called it a misunderstood legal term.
Both moved on gracefully, keeping most details private — a rare move in celebrity split culture.
12. Carmen Electra & Dennis Rodman — 129 Days
Dennis Rodman was known for his wild behavior on and off the basketball court, so it came as little surprise when he and model Carmen Electra had one of the most chaotic celebrity marriages ever.
They wed in Las Vegas on November 14, 1998, in a spontaneous late-night ceremony.
Wild doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Rodman filed for an annulment just nine days later, but the couple eventually reconciled and stayed legally married until March 1999 — a total of 129 days.
Carmen later said she genuinely cared for Dennis but admitted the relationship was never stable.
Their romance was as colorful as Rodman’s ever-changing hair colors.
13. Drew Barrymore & Tom Green — 163 Days
Drew Barrymore makes this list twice, proving that even the most lovable Hollywood stars can stumble in love more than once.

The two seemed like an odd but charming pairing, full of laughs and spontaneous energy.
By December 2001, just 163 days later, Drew filed for divorce.
Tom later opened up about feeling blindsided by the split.
Despite the heartbreak, both handled the public fallout with surprising maturity.
Drew has since spoken warmly about Tom, and the two reportedly remained friendly.
A short chapter, yes — but clearly one that left a mark.
14. Sophia Bush & Chad Michael Murray — 163 Days
