Actually, plenty of stars have had short-lived marriages, either figuring out during their romance that they weren’t meant to be, that they were drifting apart, or something far more dramatic! 

                                                                                                          Some of these short-lived marriages might surprise some, others have become completely infamous. Luckily, we rounded up a number of examples for some of the shortest celebrity marriages of all time!

                                                                                                          Nicolas Cage and Erika Koike’s marriage (his 4th) lasted a whopping four days. Nic hadn’t even picked up their marriage license yet before asking the court for an annulment in March 2019! He has a track record with short marriages. His 2002 marriage to Lisa Marie Presley lasted three months, though they didn’t finalize their divorce for another two years.

                                                                                                          Want to see more celebrity marriages that burned bright but fizzled out quick? Click through the gallery to see some of Hollywood’s shortest marriages.

They were married a little over a year, following their nuptials on Christmas Eve 2020. An insider told Rolling Stone of the split, that the “pandemic whirlwind” romance had simply fizzled out.

As we know, she doesn’t have the best track record. JLo has been married three times and broke off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez in early 2021.

Britney and Jason were married for only 55 HOURS after drunkenly tying the knot at a chapel in Las Vegas. Her team petitioned the court for an annulment, stating that Britney “lacked understanding of her actions” at the time of the ceremony.

And it didn’t end well, with Sophia implying that she wanted the annulment because Chad cheated. To make matters worse, they still had to play love interests on ‘OTH’ for years.

They filed for an annulment two months later, citing their long distance relationship for the marriage falling apart.

She cited “fraud” as the reason for the split, and called the marriage “a very sad experience.”

Wedding guests could reportedly hear them fighting in their hotel room after their 2008 destination wedding in French Polynesia. Luckily, their ceremony wasn’t legally binding, and they split two months later. Tracey not wanting to take Eddie’s last name apparently contributed to the breakup.

She wed Rick Salomon in a 90-minute break between her two shows in Las Vegas in 2008. Two months later, she filed for annulment with both parties citing “fraud” as the reason. Proving passion runs strong, the couple wed – and divorced – again in 2014. That marriage lasted less than a year.
