Just days after she was scheduled to get married, the Orange Is the New Black star announced on Instagram that she and her longtime love were calling it quits. Alongside the video — which features the couple's engagement photo, in which they're superimposed next to Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor — DeLaria and Fairless revealed that the split was "amicable." "Please exclude us from the tragic and basic celebrity breakup narrative,” they wrote. “We were happy together for four years and will remain in each other’s lives. In fact, we look forward to finding new ways to torture each other.”

ALEX PETTYFER & MARLOES HORST

The Magic Mike star and model both took to Instagram with the news, which sounds like a bad idea – but just wait. "I wouldn't normally do this as I like to keep my life private, Despite what may be written, Marloes and I split up due to her being a crazy hot supermodel and her and my work just keeping us apart. It was a mutual decision, We are incredibly close and love each other tremendously!!! We are best friends and who knows what the future holds. #shewillalwaysbefamily #factisgreaterthanfiction," wrote Pettyfer. Added Horst: "Despite of what some papers may say, Alex and I split due to our busy schedules. It's [saddening] to read these negative articles since we are very close and love each other dearly! So we took it into our own hands to say it was a mutual decision, we are best friends and will always remain each others family. #loveisalwaystheanswer"

Kris and Caitlyn Jenner (who was living as Bruce as the time) continued filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians – and co-parenting daughters Kendall and Kylie – throughout their separation. At the time, Kris told PEOPLE they were "just trying to be grown-ups about the situation ... We have children together, and we have families and memories and holidays and traditions. I don't want to give that up. I don't want him to take that away from me, and I don't want to take that away from him." She continued, "We work together to make sure that we're both happy. We are well-rounded human beings that are going through a tough time. You just do the best that you can."

JON HAMM & JENNIFER WESTFELDT

"With great sadness, we have decided to separate, after 18 years of love and shared history," the couple told PEOPLE in a joint statement this past September. "We will continue to be supportive of each other in every way possible moving forward." Just a few weeks later at the Emmys, he thanked her (along with their dog, Cora). "It's incredible and impossible for me personally to be standing here, so I want to thank the people to whom I owe an incredible debt," he said. "Cora and Jen, thank you all very much, I would not be standing here without you." (It's no surprise they have since been spotted spending time together.)
