  • We have compiled a list of celebrities who broke up and got back together.


Nine months! Yes, nine months is how long we have to wait for American actress and musician Ashanti to get back to entertaining us as she recently took to Instagram to announce that she and rapper Nelly are expecting a baby.

The announcement follows years after the Body on me hitmakers decided to break up but, according to the Los Angelos Times, the couple found their way back together in 2023 when Nelly confirmed that they had made amends.

Back and fourths, one minute you love me the next minute you hate me, this is what has become common of celeb relationships and it seems like many have broken up and gotten back together.

From Offset's continuous cheating allegations that lead to breakups with Cardi B to Marjorie and Steve Harvey getting married after decades apart.

Here are eight celebrities who broke up and got back together:

Nelly and Ashanti

According to a US Magazine article, Ashanti confirmed that she and Nelly broke up in 2013 but slowly found their way back together a few years later. Apart from the couple continuously posting each other on social media, Ashanti announced in an exclusive with Essence magazine that she and Nelly are engaged and expecting a baby.

Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade

Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade’s love story took a break in April 2013 after being together for four years. Glamour UK reports that the couple was back together in December 2013 and have been living happily ever after since.

Steve Harvey and Marjorie Harvey

Even though some were confident that the couple was indeed facing troubles and that they have parted ways, a CNN article says Majorie took to her Instagram account to deny the “foolish lies.” After having dated before they had kids, the couple split. But, according to People magazine, in 2007, the pair got married resulting in a beautifully blended family

JLo and Ben Affleck

JLo and Ben Affleck’s breakup dates back to 2004. However, according to a Time Magazine article, the two rekindled in 2021 and subsequently got married.

John Legend and Chrissy Tiegen

CBS News says John Legend made an attempt to break up with his wife Chrissy Tiegen and Chrissy’s response was a straightforward “No!” It has been close to two decades since the couple started dating and it seems like John Legend’s unsuccessful attempt to break up saved their relationship.

Venessa and Nick Lachey 

Venessa and Nick Lechay’s breakup did not last long. The couple were reported by Cosmopolitan to have broken up in June 2009 but were back together in October 2009. And 15 years later, the love birds have managed to build a family and reach many milestones in their 12 years of marriage.

Kate Middleton and Prince William 

Kate Middleton and Prince William also realised that life does not make sense when they are not together. According to The Sun, the British royal couple split in April 2007 but got back together in June 2007.

Cardi B and Offset

At this point everybody is used to this couple breaking up and getting back together because it has happened too many times. Their latest breakup episode was in December 2023 when Offset was accused of cheating with another media personality and, according to a Billboard article, Cardi B took to Instagram live to confirm that she’s single. We are yet to see whether the couple will be back together again.
