The Shortest Marriages in Hollywood

Celebrities get a reputation for having relationship issues. Can a marriage survive in the Hollywood spotlight? If you look at the couples below, you might not think so. So in honor of the sad and surprising split between Mad Men actress Elizabeth Moss and her husband, Fred Armisen (after only 10 months), I’m posting a list of very short Hollywood marriages. Enjoy!

One Tree Hill’s Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray split up after only five months of marriage. Rumors circulated that Paris Hilton caused the split, after she and Murray had an affair on the set of House of Wax.


Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito split after only four months of marriage. When Joy Behar jokingly accused Esposito of “not trying” very hard in her marriage, Esposito only said, “well Joy, you don’t know what I was dealing with.” As for Cooper, the only thing he has said about his marriage to Esposito is, “it was an experience.”

Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock divorced after only four months of marriage. She blamed the marriage on an impulsive, romantic haze of St. Tropez, and both she and Rock rushed to the court house in hopes of filing for divorce first. He later explained to Larry King that they divorced over money, because Anderson refused to sign a post-nup.


Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon are barely worth mentioning. They married in Vegas and divorced two months later. You might remember Rick Salomon as the guy from the Paris Hilton sex tape, who is allegedly responsible for leaking it. He has denied doing so.

Renee Zellweger and country singer Kenny Chesney split after four months. She cited fraud as the reason for divorce, which led to a lot of speculation that he was gay. He later said the marriage ended after he panicked.


Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage split after three months. Presley later said that they “never should have been married in the first place.” Nicolas Cage allegedly threw her very expensive diamond ring in the ocean, and then paid divers to retrieve it. Needless to say, the ring is kaput and so is the marriage.


Tom Green and Drew Barrymore met on the set of Charlie’s Angels, when she cast him in a small part. They divorced after only six months of marriage, and Tom Green was said to be devastated. I think he might still be.
