Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at all the celebrity couples who called it quits in 2022 — or whose breakups came to light this year — starting with this pair… This one’s a shocker! “Vanderpump Rules” stars Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney-Schwartz confirmed rumors of a split on March 15, nearly six years after tying the knot on television in 2016… though they didn’t file the official paperwork to legalize their marriage until 2019 (a topic that came up often on their Bravo show). Both reality stars took to social media to share the sad news, putting out their own respective statements after being together 12 years. Katie noted there were “no sides to choose,” while Tom alluded to the split not really being his choice, writing, “Fully respect Katie’s decision… If would be far sadder if she decided to stay with me whilst not happy.”

“Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Josh Flagg and his husband of four and a half years, Bobby Boyd, are divorcing, they announced on social media on March 4. “This might sound abrupt but I felt I should be transparent from the top rather than bury the headline. This was not a rash or impulsive decision. We have been very thoughtful before coming to this conclusion,” Josh wrote on Instagram. “It was not a lack of love but rather the two of us growing in different directions and wanting different things for ourselves. I care deeply about Bobby and have nothing but love and respect for him. I want how we separate from each other to represent that.” Bobby added in a post of his own, “If there is one thing I can say about both of us, it’s that we both gave everything we absolutely could to make this work. Unfortunately, as we have learned, sometimes love isn’t enough.”

On March 4, People magazine reported that former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick and boyfriend Carter Comstock, the co-founder and CIO of Freshly, are no longer dating. “We were together for a while, and unfortunately it didn’t work, but it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a really fun time and we didn’t do a lot of really amazing things,” Danica told the magazine of their breakup, which she said took place a few months earlier. “It doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with either of us. It’s just a matter of finding someone who you can stand the test of time with.” The pair took their romance public in April 2021 — less than a year after Danica split from NFL star Aaron Rodgers — after being set up by the co-founders of wellness brand Beam, a company in which both are investors.

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 “is 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.

On Feb. 23, TMZ broke the news that “Dancing With the Stars” pro dancer Cheryl Burke filed to divorce actor Matthew Lawrence in Los Angeles earlier in the month after less than three years of marriage. According to the webloid, she listed their date of separation as Jan. 7, 2022, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and indicated they have a prenup. On Feb. 24, Cheryl broke her silence on the split, writing on Instagram, “I know I have always said that I’m an open book with you guys, I do strive to be, and in writing this I’ve realized there isn’t really an easy way to announce that my marriage is ending. I hope you can understand that I will not be commenting any further at this time and am asking for privacy. Thank you all for all the kind words & support you’ve given me—love you all. Xx Cheryl.”

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 claims Sam is “guilty of inappropriate marital conduct” and “guilty of adultery.” On top of the shocking split, court papers further revealed that Hannah is 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.

Aaron Carter revealed on Twitter on Feb. 23 that his roller coaster relationship with Melanie Martin had ended — again. “My relationship has come to a point where we have to part ways. Please respect my privacy at this time. Thank you. … I have no intentions on being in any relationship anytime soon. I’m too scarred and I can’t trust any woman. So I’m going to protect my soul and my heart at this time,” he tweeted. The pair got engaged in 2020 and most recently split in late November 2021 — a week after they welcomed son Prince Lyric. They reconciled by early December.

A year after announcing their engagement just months after starting a secret pandemic romance in 2020, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and “Big Little Lies” actress Shailene Woodley split, In Touch reported on Feb. 16. “While Shailene is supportive of Aaron’s career, he put football first and they were barely spending any time together,” an insider told the magazine. “She felt he neglected their relationship. Neither of them was happy.” According to a second insider, the pair just “couldn’t make it work … There were too many obstacles. They’re both adults and decided to part amicably.” A source close to the NFL star similarly told People magazine, “It was an amicable split; it just wasn’t working. They’re very different people with busy careers and there were obstacles that they couldn’t surmount. They will remain friendly; there’s no bad blood and no drama. It just didn’t work out for them.” But in the days that followed, Aaron seemed to hint that they might be back on. On Feb. 21, he shared on Instagram, “@shailenewoodley, thanks for letting me chase after you the first couple months after we met, and finally letting me catch up to you and be a part of your life. Thanks for always having my back, for the incredible kindness you show me and everyone you meet, and for showing me what unconditional love looks like, I love you and am grateful for you.” The following day, he gushed about his relationship with the Emmy nominee on the Feb. 22 episode of “The Pat McAfee Show.” And days later, the pair were spotted together at a friend’s wedding in California before they took a brief trip to Florida together.

On Feb. 14, a rep for Julia Fox — the “Uncut Gems” actress who kicked off a headline-making affair with Kanye West after they met in Miami on New Year’s Eve — released a statement announcing that she and the rapper “remain good friends and collaborators” but are “no longer together.” She briefly addressed the breakup in a since-deleted post on her Instagram Story, writing, “Kanye and I are on good terms! 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 new boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

It’s over for Hoda Kotb and fiancé Joel Schiffman after eight years together. The “Today” show host and the financier got engaged in 2019 — the same year they adopted their second child together, Hope, after brining home daughter Haley in 2017. Hoda announced her split on her NBC morning show on Jan. 31, noting that people had been wondering why she hasn’t been wearing her engagement ring, People magazine reported. “Joel and I have had a lot of prayerful and meaningful conversations over the holidays and we decided that we are better as friends and parents than we are as an engaged couple, so we decided we are going to start this new year on our new path as loving parents to our adorably delightful children and as friends,” she explained. “It’s not like something happened. They say sometimes relationships are meant to be there for a reason, a season or a lifetime, this was for a season.”

The rumors were true: On Jan. 24, People magazine published a joint statement from Bachelor Nation’s Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian — who got engaged on season 7 of “Bachelor in Paradise” in 2021 — confirming they’d recently called it quits. “We have decided to go our separate ways. Never did we imagine this, but we’ve come to a point where we both need to work on ourselves,” they said. It’s unclear when exactly they ended their relationship.

On Jan. 24 — about a week after Princess Cristina of Spain’s husband of 24 years, Inaki Urdangarin, was photographed holding hands with another woman, Ainhoa Armentia, in France — the royals released a joint statement announcing that “by mutual agreement,” they’d “decided to break off our marriage.” According to Britain’s Express newspaper, Inaki acknowledged the implication of the photos, telling a group of reporters, “These things happen. It is a difficulty that we will manage with the utmost tranquility and together as we have always done.” ¡HOLA! reported that Cristina — the younger of King Felipe VI of Spain’s two older sisters — “already knew” about her estranged husband’s new relationship before the photos hit the Internet (see them here).

On Jan. 21, People magazine reported that Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund had ended their nearly three-year romance a few weeks earlier following a few rough months. “It’s sad, and they are trying their best to co-parent. It’s been hard,” said an insider of the former couple, who welcomed son Rhodes in December 2020. A source shared a similar sentiment with “Entertainment Tonight,” saying the relationship “has been rocky for a long time and the situation is really sad right now.” Two days after the breakup news made headlines, Garrett was arrested for public intoxication in Franklin County, Tennessee.

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 “is 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.

On Jan. 12, Jason Momoa took to Instagram to announce that he and Lisa Bonet were “parting ways in marriage” after more than four years as husband and wife and more than 15 years as a couple. “The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other to be who we are learning to become,” he wrote. An E! News source later shed some light on what went wrong: Amid a big boom in the “Aquaman” star’s career, he and the former teen idol realized they “wanted different things” in life and ultimately “drifted apart.” (Lisa reportedly prefers a quieter lifestyle focused on health and wellness at her home in Los Angeles, while Jason is “very focused on his career and wants to work.”)

On Jan. 10, MailOnline broke the news that model Delilah Belle Hamlin and her boyfriend of nearly three years, “Love Island” alum Eyal Booker, quietly called it quits in late 2021. “Delilah ended her relationship with Eyal before New Year’s Eve. It was important to her that 2022 could be a fresh start and right now she wants to be single and focus on her career,” said a source. An Us Weekly source, meanwhile, said that the breakup came as “a shock to some of their closest friends” because “they were so in love” and had just spent the holidays together with her family.

On Jan. 9, Bachelor Nation’s Katie Morton — who competed for Colton Underwood’s heart on season 23 of “The Bachelor” in 2019 — announced on YouTube that she and English professional soccer player James Rowe called it quits in August 2021 following about a year of coupledom after he failed to sign with an American team. “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.” She also implied that her ex is suffering an “identity crisis” as his career as a professional athlete winds down — which he’ll need to navigate on his own.
