Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at all the celebrity couples who called it quits in 2022 — or whose breakups came to light in 2022…

On the Dec. 18 first episode of the "Sister Wives: One on One" special, "Sister Wives" patriarch Kody Brown confirmed that he's now down to one wife from four as "I don't really consider myself married to Meri [Brown anymore]," Kody said. "If she wanted to move on and marry another, she wouldn't get an argument with me." According to Meri — who said she was open to reconciling after 32 years of plural marriage — Kody's the one who "made the decision. I've never heard him say that to me." At one point during the special Kody claimed he tried to reconcile with Meri after she "gave me this really cool birthday present " — a bag of Rice Krispie treats, "one for every year of our marriage," he explained, but ultimately, he decided against it. The news about their breakup came after it was revealed that Kody and two of his other wives ended things in 2022 and 2021…

Comedians Chelsea Handler and Jo Koy split in July after nearly a year of dating. In December, she shed some light on what went wrong. On July 18, the former "Chelsea Lately" host confirmed the breakup in an Instagram video in which she and the stand-up comic talked about their relationship. "In anticipation of celebrating our first year together, Jo and I recorded this video early, but as many of you have noticed, it is with a heavy heart to announce that we have decided together that it is best for us to take a break from our relationship right now," she captioned the clip. "Because of him, my life experience has changed forever. To be loved and adored by @jokoy has been one of the greatest gifts of my life." In her lengthy post, she also praised Jo, telling him, "You blew my creativity open, my lust for working hard again, being on the road again, and you reminded me who I was and always have been, and my feet have never been more firmly planted in the ground," she said, adding, "This is not an ending. It's another beginning, and it's a comfort to know that I am still loved and love this man the way the sun loves the moon and the moon loves the sun. YOUR PERSON IS COMING."
Six months later on the Dec. 27 episode of Brooke Shields' "Now What?" podcast, Chelsea opened up about what went wrong and said they'd even tried therapy, which didn't help. "There were just some behaviors that we couldn't agree on… It felt to me like I would have to abandon myself, which maybe I would have been OK to do if I were 20 or 25, but I wasn't willing to do that. No matter how much I loved this person," she said, adding, "I am not going to change the way that I behave in order to make you feel more comfortable. I'm not doing that, and I had to walk away from something that I really believed was gonna be a forever relationship." She said she hadn't spoken to Jo in a while. "There has to be some accountability … from him about what happened because it was just ridiculous, and I don't think we can have a friendship until there's some accountability and some responsibility taken," she explained.

And so, one of the two had to make that effort and that sacrifice. And I did it. I put my career in second gear and I came to Spain, to support him so he could play football and win titles. And it was a sacrifice of love. Thanks to that, my kids were able to have a present mom, and I have this amazing bond with them that is unbreakable and that sustains us," she said.

Just a few weeks after social media influencer and model Paige Lorenze shared a PDA-packed photo of herself with her boyfriend, controversial country music star Morgan Wallen, on Instagram in February — finally confirming reports that they were dating — she ended things, Page Six reported on Feb. 27. "She suspected he was cheating on her with multiple people," a source told Page Six. "After they went public, Paige started getting all these messages on Instagram from girls saying, 'I was with him. We slept together.'" The DMs quickly "snowballed, and it got to a point where it was just too much" for her, said the source, adding, "She's heartbroken." A second source confirmed to Page Six that Morgan was "indeed single and focused on being a dad" to his 1-year-old son, Indigo, with ex-fiancée Katie Smith. Morgan and Paige were first romantically linked in the summer of 2021 but reports later confirmed they actually started dating far earlier and had been a couple for nearly a year by the time Paige — who made headlines in early 2021 when she went public with allegations that actor Armie Hammer abused her during their relationship — made things Instagram official.

After nearly five years of marriage, country music star Sam Hunt's wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, filed for divorce in Tennessee on Feb. 18, TMZ reported on Feb. 21. The reason? Court papers revealed Hannah claimed Sam was "guilty of inappropriate marital conduct" and "guilty of adultery." On top of the shocking split, court papers further revealed that Hannah was pregnant and due in May (the pair had not previously shared that they were expecting a child). Hannah asked the court to award her alimony, primary custody of their baby and child support. Days later, it was revealed that she withdrew her divorce petition just a few hours after filing it. TMZ later clarified, however, that she simply filed for divorce in the wrong county, so her lawyers remedied the situation by refiling in the correct jurisdiction. TMZ later reported that in April, Hannah asked the court to dismiss the divorce case and that a judge had signed off on it. The webloid further reported that the singer and the nurse had been spotted walking their dog together in Franklin, Tennessee, and that Sam had started wearing his wedding ring again, pointing to a reconciliation.

I have love for him but I wasn't in love with the man. … What do you think I am, 12 years old?!" Less than a week earlier, the New York Post's gossip column reported that, according to a source, Julia and Ye were in an "open relationship." Explained the source, "Their bond transcends typical norms because they're evolved beings who just want each other to be happy. There is no jealousy or bad vibes." They were, however, surrounded by plenty of "bad vibes" as Kanye and ex-wife Kim Kardashian spent the bulk of early February publicly feuding over their four children. Ye also made headlines in mid-February for publicly bashing Kim's then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

On Jan. 20, Rolling Stone broke the news that Pamela Anderson and her husband of about a year, Dan Hayhurst, quietly called it quits. A source described the relationship as a "pandemic whirlwind" romance that simply ran its course. (Pam's rep later confirmed the news to People magazine.) Us Weekly's sources said the pair hadn't "been getting along" and ultimately decided to take some "time apart." Explained one insider, "Pamela rushed into [the] marriage. … She saw the marriage as a fresh start, but the spark has faded." While the actress was "having regrets" about the union, her estranged husband "really wants to make the marriage work," said the insider. A second Us Weekly source said that "Pam left Dan … without a single goodbye" after the holidays. An E! news source, meanwhile, said "there was no straw that broke the camel's back" but rather that Dan was "not the man she hoped he was." The "Baywatch" beauty has been married six times to five different men: Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, Rick Salomon, Jon Peters and Dan. Pam maintains her 2020 union with Jon was never legally binding, and she married Rick Salomon twice — first in 2007 and then in late 2013 or early 2014.

"There were a lot of things that came into play that put a lot of pressure on us, and ultimately we separated at the end of August," she said, adding that at the time, they didn't know when they'd see each other again. "This might be a bad timing thing. We still love each other. It's not going how we had wanted it to," she continued. "We both individually had things that we wanted to work on, and they weren't lining up so ultimately it just wasn't working out for us. … So anyway, we separated, and I would say it was a decently amicable split." They later reconciled, with Katie moving to England to be closer to her off-and-on love.
