Still reeling from the shocking news of #Brangexit? When a Hollywood power couple parts ways, the shock is all too real and while Brad Pitt and Anjelina Jolie may be the latest in a ong line here's some other major celebrity couples that we never imagined were heading for Splitsville.
Paltrow and Martin married in December 2003 and have two children together, aged 12 and 10. Then in 2011, Paltrow's lifestyle website, goop, drew attention to the term coined by Los Angeles therapist and author Katherine Woodward Thomas, who has created a five-step "Conscious Uncoupling" online process.
Paltrow filed for divorce the following month, citing irreconcilable differences.
This Hollywood couple called it quits after 10 years of marriage and one day after their 10th wedding anniversary. "After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. "We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding," the actors said in a joint statement.
Clooney and Keibler split after two years together over her desire to have children. “Stacy called it quits. She wants to have children and a family someday. She knows where George stands on that,” the source said. “They talked and they quietly stopped being a couple several weeks ago.”
Just a couple of weeks into 2012, the supermodel mom of four and the R&B star announced they were divorcing after what felt like forever (but was really only seven years). If that wasn’t heartbreaking enough, things got ugly when Heidi’s hunky bodyguard, Martin Kristen, was factored into the equation.
Witherspoon filed for divorce in November 2006, after seven years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
The former couple, who starred in 1999's Cruel Intentions together, met at Witherspoon's 21st birthday party in 1997 and married two years later.
The Oscar-winner and Crash star officially divorced in 2007. The couple have two children together, 17-year-old Ava, and 12-year-old Deacon.
The Cyrus’ marriage broke up a couple of years ago after the country singer’s wife cited irreconcilable differences after 19 years of marriage seeking custody of their 13-year-old son and spousal support. This was the couple’s second divorce attempt. Billy Ray Cyrus filed for divorce in 2010 but later withdrew his petition.

Kidman met Cruise while filming Days of Thunder in 1990. Kidman was 23 and Cruise, 28. "I was a baby when I married Tom, but I don't regret any of it," Kidman later said of her controversial 10-year marriage to Cruise.
Cruise filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences, despite Kidman reportedly begging her former husband to seek marriage counselling. The Aussie actress is now married to Kiwi country musician, Keith Urban.

Arguably the most rock-solid couple in Hollywood, Willis and Moore shocked the world when they announced they were separating in 1998. The actors share three children together and have since become the poster couple for divorce. "It's hard for people to understand, but we go on holidays together," Willis said in 2005. "We still raise our kids together “ we still have that bond. Demi is the mother of my children."
