2010 - The year of the splits!

Well, if I don't scribble this down now it will no longer be relevant....actuallly it's relevance is pretty dubious to begin with but that's neither here nor there.

On a car trip to Galway last July, Jim, Po and myself were talking about how many couples seem to be splitting up in 2010...both celebrity and people we knew, so to pass the time we started to compile a list. So here it is. Please feel free to add to it.

Clare & Pat
Alan Quinlan & Ruth Griffin
Lenny Henry & Dawn French (25 years???)
Ronan & Yvonne Keating
Ashley & Cheryl Cole
Charlotte Church & Gavin Henson
Katie Price & Peter Andre (or was that in 2009?)
Sile Seoige & hubs
Grainne Seoige & hubs
John & Toni Terry
Tiger Woods & Elin Nordegren
Mairead Farrell & hubs
Wayne Bridge & Vanessa Perroncel
Kerry Katona & Mark Croft
Dan & Dee
Diane & John
Liz Hurley & Arun Nayar
Scarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds
Eva Longoria & Tony Parker
Tim Robbins & Susan Sarandon
Al & Tipper Gore (after 40 years!)
Courteney Cox & David Arquette

That's all I have but sadly I'm sure there are plenty more where that came from...

  2. there's an Irish girl that mum keeps going on about in Queenstown who's just bought a house down there & she split with her Kiwi man. Grainne O'Kelly & Michael Dowling. There's another two - obviously not split from eachother but from their respective beaus.
    Interesting year for sure

  3. Yes, and Melissa has reliably informed me that Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman, Pink & her hubs separated but are sonce re-united and that Rachel Weisz & Darren Aronofsky also broke up. Well done Melissa. Good work.

  4. Clare - I'm not sure who that Irish/NZ girl is...but you're right about the other two couples. Forgot about them!
