Khloe Kardashian & Tristan Thompson
Sometimes, ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ doesn’t always apply in the land of Hollywood. 2019 has seen some major stars call it quits on love. Be it Lady Gaga pulling the plug on a second engagement or Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid breaking up YET AGAIN, it’s been a year full of splits, breaks, and divorces. Take a look at some of the celebrity breakups that have left fans wailing how ‘love is dead!’
Here we see Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson in better days, as they’re going to see ‘White Boy Rick’ on their Sunday afternoon out together. The couple weathered one cheating scandal by the NBA in April of 2018 shortly before the birth of their daughter True Thompson. Khloe ultimately forgave Tristan for the sake of keeping their little family together and by summer they were close again, with him living at her Calabasas home. But the trust issues lingered and they were never able to get back to the place they were before he allegedly fooled around with a NYC strip club worker. They remained a couple until Feb. of 2019, when he did the unthinkable and fooled around with Kylie Jenner’s BFF Jordyn Woods at a LA house party. That was the final straw for Khloe and the couple broke up for good.
