Brief Celebrity Unions: A Look at the Shortest Marriages in Hollywood
Nineteen Notable Celebrity Pairs Whose Marriages Crumbled Prior to Reaching Their First Marital Anniversary
In the glamorous world of Hollywood, not all romances are destined for the long haul. Some celebrity marriages have been surprisingly brief, lasting only a matter of months or even days. Here's a glimpse into some of the shortest celebrity unions on record.
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries (2011)
In a whirlwind romance that lasted just 72 days, reality TV star Kim Kardashian and NBA player Kris Humphries tied the knot in 2011. However, their union was short-lived, and they announced their separation mere months later.
Britney Spears and Jason Allen Alexander (2004)
Pop icon Britney Spears also found herself in a fleeting marriage when she wed her childhood friend, Jason Allen Alexander, in 2004. Their union lasted a mere 55 hours before it was annulled.
Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee (1995)
Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee's marriage was another quick one, lasting approximately four months. The couple wed in February 1995 and divorced in October of the same year.
Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd (2001)
Singer Jennifer Lopez and choreographer Cris Judd were married for approximately nine months from 2001 to 2002. Their separation was announced in February 2002, just 218 days after their wedding.
More recently, Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton (2023) were married for almost seven months before separating in November 2023.
Other celebrities have also experienced brief marriages, such as Nicolas Cage, who was married to Erika Koike for four days in March 2019. Cage had another short-lived marriage with Lisa Marie Presley in 2002, which lasted for a few months.
Elisabeth Moss and Fred Armisen (2010) were married for eight months before parting ways, while Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock (2006) were married from July to November, making their union last only a few months.
Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus (2018-2019) were married for less than a year, having tied the knot in December 2018 and splitting up in August 2019.
Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman (1998) were married for nine days before Rodman filed for annulment. Their divorce was finalized in 1999.

Evergreen pop-culture discussions revolve around the entertainments provided by celebrities, as evidenced by the ongoing fascination with brief celebrity unions in Hollywood.
