Some celebrity couples just seem meant to be. We see them on magazine covers at the grocery store, watch their movies, and follow their stories. We get invested. So when they split up, it can feel like a genuine shock, the kind of news you talk about with your friends. These are the breakups that grabbed headlines and that we still haven’t quite gotten over.

Patrick Dempsey and his wife, celebrity makeup artist Jillian Fink, always gave the impression of being best friends. They married back in 1999 and built a family away from the Hollywood glare. So when Fink filed for divorce in January 2015, it took many by surprise. They seemed like one of the few truly stable couples, making the news of their split feel sudden and unexpected.
