DIARIO LAS AMRICAS presents you a summary of the controversial breakups that the year left.
Rauw Alejandro and Rosala
One of the most controversial breakups of 2023 and least expected was that of the singers Rosala and Rauw Alejandro, since at the beginning of the year they had released their EP together titled RR, in which they confirmed their commitment in the video clip for the song Beso.
For GQ magazine in Spain, both had shared what the proposal was like, and in June the Catalan woman detailed in the El Hormiguero program that she was waiting to finish her world tour to start wedding preparations.
However, it was precisely at the end of their Motomami World Tour that love came to an end.
A few days later, rumors about the breakup began to spread, and later Rauw Alejandro was the first to break the silence and confirm it. Although there was talk of an alleged infidelity, both Rosala and Rauw denied the story and demanded respect.
Ricky Martin and John Yosef
The Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin and the Swedish artist Jwan Yosef also joined the wave of breakups that 2023 brought.
Through a joint statement, the couple noted that their six-year journey had come to an end, with love, respect and dignity. According to People magazine, the reason for the separation was due to irreconcilable differences.
Likewise, it emerged that both Martín and Yosef had signed a prenuptial agreement, and that both hoped to be able to share custody of their common children Luca, four years old, and Renón, three years old.
Sofa Vergara and Joe Manganiello
Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello, after almost eight years of marriage, surprised their followers, as they seemed to be one of the most solid couples in the American television industry.
However, the reason for the separation was allegedly due to the fact that the agendas of both actors began to collide, keeping them apart and the joint goals had been frozen.
The romance between both stars began in 2014, and six months later they got engaged. In November 2015, Sofia and Joe celebrated their wedding in a lavish ceremony in Palm Beach, and since then they have been considered one of the loneliest couples in Hollywood.
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez
Singer Ariana Grande and luxury real estate agent Dalton Gómez separated after two years of marriage.
Before the artist confirmed it, TMZ, People and Page Six leaked the information and indicated that since the beginning of the year the couple had begun to have problems, which intensified when the interpreter traveled to the United Kingdom for the film project in which is working, Wicked.
Although in principle there was talk of a respectful breakup, the controversy came when it was learned that his co-star in the film, Actor Ethan Slater, had also filed for divorce from his partner and mother of his daughter, Lilly Jay.
The event fueled rumors of the alleged love affair between the singer and the actor, who developed a close friendship during the filming of the film, according to sources with knowledge of the matter reported to the entertainment portal TMZ.
Dua Lipa and Romain Gavras
The British singer Dua Lipa surprised her followers by confirming her relationship with the French director Romain Gavras when they arrived together on the red carpet at the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
However, after 8 months of public romance, the relationship expired.
Sources close to the artist indicated that the reason for the breakup was because the performer is focused on her career, and time no longer allowed her to maintain a relationship.
Hugh Jackman y Deborra-Lee Furness
After 27 years of marriage and two children together, Australian actors Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness ended their relationship.
The news was confirmed by both, through a statement issued to People magazine. The couple met in the studio of a television series in their native country in 1995 and married a year later.
Although the reason for the breakup is unknown, sources close to both said that the actor would give him half of his fortune if Furness signed an agreement prohibiting him from giving details about his private life with Jackman.
Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner
The separation of singer Joe Jonas and actress Sophie Turner began as a rumor that gained strength, until the protagonists of the story confirmed that the story was reality.
However, what seemed to be a breakup on good terms turned into a media separation when the Game of Thrones interpreter denounced that the musician did not allow her to travel with her two daughters to her country of origin.
Although the conflict is escalating, both celebrities have reached an agreement that will allow them to spend time with the girls equally in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
Britney Spears y Sam Ashgari
After a tough legal battle against her father, singer Britney Spears married model and fitness trainer Sam Asghari. The wedding marked a new beginning for the performer who had regained her independence after 13 years of being under the tutelage of her father.
However, the couple’s happiness lasted only about 14 months. In August, a close source confirmed to TMZ that Spears and Ashgari had been separated for a few weeks, and that the divorce was imminent, since the Princess of Pop had allegedly been unfaithful.
Days later, the actor also confirmed the separation and asked the media and public opinion to be respectful when referring to the fact; without giving details of the reason for the breakup. For her part, Britney pointed out that six years of relationship do not go in vain because of what reality affected her and she thanked her followers for the support they showed her through social networks.
Becky G and Sebastian Lletget
In December 2022, footballer Sebastin Lletget proposed to singer Becky G. The images went viral on social networks and the artist shared how they both took this new stage calmly to enjoy every moment leading up to marriage.
What no one counted on was that a few days after the engagement, images circulated on social media that revealed infidelity; something that Lletget himself confirmed.
Although Becky G held her head high and did not explain her actions, she gave People magazine an interview in which she addressed the importance of self-love. “This year has been a journey of great growth for me. I have faced difficult situations, but I have learned to handle them with grace and not lose sight of who I am. I am proud of how I have navigated everything.”
Taylor Swift y Joe Alwyn
Taylor Swift fans were hit hard when they learned that the singer and British actor and songwriter Joe Alwyn had broken up. There was no media conflict, but it was surprising for many because the couple had been together for six years and a rumor had previously spread that they were engaged.
Although the reason for their separation was never known, several theories spread across the internet; among them, that the actor was uncomfortable with Taylor’s level of fame or that their work commitments distanced them.
Aitana and Miguel Bernardeau
Another romance affected in 2023 was that of the singer Aitana and the actor Miguel Bernadeu. The Spaniards had enjoyed a four-year relationship, but this also came to an end.
The reasons are unknown, but theories also abounded about a conflict in the projects and work commitments of both, as well as alleged infidelity on the part of Aitana with the Colombian singer Sebastin Yatra.
Aitana and Sebastin Yatra
Although Aitana’s alleged deception of Bernadeu only remained rumors, what was confirmed was that both singers developed a brief affair.
But, as usually happens in the industry, the distancing was imminent and again the rumors began to sound around the Spanish and the Colombian. It was in Mexico, during an interview on the Telediario program in which Sebastin confirmed the breakup, but emphasized that he maintains his affection for the interpreter.
For her part, Aitana did not speak directly to the media, but during her tour Alpha stated that she had not been feeling well, but noted that it was normal to sometimes not have good days.
