The entertainment industry moves at a brisk pace: everything from tight production schedules to green-lighting sequels to successful flicks happens in the blink of an eye – even marriages can come and go in an instant. The 10 Hollywood marriages we’re about to see fast-tracked the drama and heartbreak of divorce in a way that’s worthy of a world record.
10. Drew Barrymore & Tom Green – 6 Months
Comedian Tom Green and Drew Barrymore were married for just six months, from July to December of 2001. The couple soon called it quits, citing the classic “irreconcilable differences”.
9. Sophia Bush & Chad Michael Murray – 5 Months
The One Tree Hill cast members got married in 2005. The union lasted for 163 days, or around five months, before they went their separate ways. Bush cited “fraud” as the reason why she demanded her marriage to be annulled.
8. Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Esposito – 4 Months
“Irreconciliable differences” strike again, as they were the reason why Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito’s marriage lasted only 122 days.
7. Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries – 72 Days
The Kardashian clan is no stranger to controversy, so it wasn’t too shocking for fans to hear about Kim’s brief engagement to pro-athlete Kris Humphries, which lasted just over two months.
6. Drew Barrymore & Jeremy Thomas – 19 Days
Before Tom Green, there was Jeremy Thomas. Barrymore married the bar owner in 1994, but they were together for only 19 days before calling it quits.
5. Mario Lopez & Ali Landry – 18 Days
Lopez and Landry tied the knot after dating for six years. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t survive the stress of marriage, leading to their separation two weeks after their wedding.
4. Eddie Murphy & Tracey Edmonds – 14 Days
Murphy and producer Tracey Edmonds tied the knot in a private, “symbolic” wedding on a private island off Bora Bora. The keyword here is “symbolic” wedding, as the couple soon discovered they didn’t work well as a marriage and chose to stay friends instead.
3. Pamela Anderson & Jon Peters – 12 Days
Anderson and Peters met at the Playboy Mansion in the ‘80s, but they wouldn’t tie the knot until 2020. The Barb Wire star announced she had married Peters privately early in 2020, but only two weeks later, on February 1, Anderson announced that she and Peters would go their separate ways. Later, Anderson would confirm that they weren’t officially married and that they remain friends despite the breakup.
2. Carmen Electra & Dennis Rodman – 9 Days
The couple married in a spur-of-the-moment decision at a Las Vegas chapel in November of 1998. Just nine days later, Rodman, the NBA legend, called the marriage off, citing fraud and an “unsound mind” as the reasons to annul their hasty marriage.
1. Nicolas Cage & Erika Koike – 4 Days
In one of the most Nicolas Cage moves of his career, the actor recklessly married makeup artist Erika Koike in Las Vegas. Four days later, in March of 2019, Cage annulled the wedding, alleging that they were too intoxicated to properly agree to the marriage.
