Travis Scott And Kylie Jenner Take A Break
The couple at the forefront of social media and every gossip blog for the past several years was Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott. The union of the hottest rap artist and most sought after reality star meant lots of attention.
The two have taken a break in the past before, only to get back together. Now that Jenner and Scott have a daughter together, one can only guess this isn't a long term thing and that they just wish to live their young lives apart for a while. Ironically, paparazzi spotted Jenner with ex Tyga the next night after splitting with Scott.

"Bradley was emotionally absent during the long time filming A Star Is Born," the source said. "They tried to save the relationship, but it had changed." The source continued, "Since Bradley and Irina have always been very private about their relationship, few knew there was really for sure something going on." Many believe that he and his co-star Lady Gaga are romantically involved.
Long Distance Strains Affleck and Shookus
Sometimes, couples break up only to get together again. Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus have that type of relationship, but their latest split looks more serious. Their previous break was due to Affleck's addiction struggles; this time, it has to do with long-distance issues.

In a statement Mackenzie posted to Twitter, she wrote that she was "grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff with support from each other and everyone who reached out to us in kindness."

Here's another couple that takes breaks and gets back together. Zayn Malik and model Gigi Hadid ended things again in 2019, but this time it looks to be more serious.

Close To Getting Engaged To Breaking Up
As far as secretive relationships go, The Weeknd and Bella Hadid might've been the most private. While they've broken up in the past and gotten back together, their 2019 break looks to continue the same cycle.

Bella is prepping for her fashion week commitments, and Abel [The Weeknd] is working on his music and his upcoming acting debut." Their fans hope to see them reunite sooner rather than later.

It Was Fun While It Lasted
Maybe it was only a rebound relationship or a fling. No matter what it was, the Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson romance made for great gossip. After splitting with pop star Arianna Grande, Davidson found love in Beckinsale, who is more than a few years older than him.
Their romance lasted for four months, longer than anyone expected. They may be over, but that doesn't mean they aren't still friends. A source gave People the scoop; "It was the long-distance," said the source. "They're still friendly, but it just didn't work out."
Ending The Private Deal
Former Los Angeles Laker Shannon Brown and R&B sensation Monica looked to have a happy relationship. Their romance was for the better part kept under wraps, so the public didn't catch much wind of any tribulation.
After the two secretly got married in 2010, they stayed strong until 2019. Then, Monica filed for divorce. With no concrete evidence about why they ended it, Monica shared some information. "Luckily, for us, it wasn't another person that was the issue, but in the times that I've experienced that, I definitely act out very harshly," she said.

People change over time, and that's just how life works. They spoke about what went wrong, saying: "While we still have love for each other, we've grown into very different people over the last six years." Alaina loved showing off her engagement ring in photos, so it looks like an end to that, too.
