Ten celebrity couples that seemed eternal and ended in divorce
"Have you ever had a love that does not know its own depth, until the time of separation?" Recited the poet Kahlil Gibran. And if this question had been asked of the protagonists of this article, without too much hesitation they would have answered with a yes.
The intense and idyllic loves that some of the best-known faces on television, film, politics or music have experienced seemed to have no end when they were romantic and passionate before an audience that admired their iron relationship.
However, many of them have experienced a thunderous ending that was far from the apparent calm. Years and even decades of passion that have ended abruptly and without too many previous signs, leaving the public surprised and their followers with a broken heart.
These are some of the most emblematic, lasting and consolidated marriages in the world of celebrities, whose end left half the world and another half frozen in the hope of a future reconciliation.
Mario Vargas Llosa and Patricia Llosa
In 1955, when he was only 19 years old, Vargas Llosa married her in-law Julia Urquidi, something that did not leave anyone indifferent, because she was also 13 years old. However, the relationship was doomed and they ended shortly after. Mario Vargas Llosa's next love affair would last 50 years and he would not get rid of the controversy either, since it was with his cousin Patricia, daughter of his uncles Lucho and Olga, sister of Julia, his wife. They were married in 1965 when he was 29 and she was 19. The couple had three children and created an association that united them even more if possible and made Patricia his right hand. However, in 2015 the writer decided to ask his wife for a divorce to begin a romantic relationship with which he had been his friend for 20 years, Isabel Preysler.
Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner
The second marriage of the Kardashian matriarch, Kris, came from the hand of Bruce Jenner (currently Caitlyn Jenner). They were married on April 21, 1991. Kris has two daughters with Caitlyn, Kendal and Kylie. In September 2014, it began to be heard that the couple was in the process of divorce. It was claimed that the divorce lawsuit was filed by Kris Jenner for "irreconcilable differences", and a few months later Bruce surprised by announcing that she would become Caitlyn Jenner.
Juana Acosta and Ernesto Alterio
Juana Acosta and Ernesto Alterio met in 2003 in a bar in the capital and the actress has always said that it was "love at first sight." Acosta and Alterio met shortly after she arrived in Spain from Colombia, her native land. Her love and desire to form a family pushed her to stay in our country, where she was consolidating her career at the same time that she became one of the queens of the red carpets because of her elegance. After more than 14 years of relationship behind her back, many thought that Juana Acosta and Ernesto Alterio were married and, however, they never got to go through the altar. What the couple did have was a daughter, Lola. When both announced their separation, the world of cinema was surprised, since it was the kind of courtship that seems eternal.
José Bono and Ana Rodríguez
The president of the Congress of Deputies and former president of Castilla-La Mancha, José Bono was married to the Guatemalan Ana María Albina Rodríguez Mosquera for 30 years. Together they had three children and, in 2001, Bono and his then wife adopted Sofía, a girl born in Chile who arrived at the Bono home when she was seven months old. Despite the fact that the couple always looked ideal and happy in front of the media, in 2006 it seems that they could have suffered a major crisis that motivated the politician to resign him as Defense Minister "to dedicate more time to the family." Apparently, for Bono, who is a man of strong religious beliefs, it would have been difficult for him to make the decision to separate. But the situation between the two became very complicated and, on July 19, 2010, the marriage made their divorce official.
Felipe González and Carmen Romero
Politicians Felipe González and Carmen Romero met in Seville through mutual friends. It is said that at that time the former president of the Government had a relationship with a classmate of Carmen Romero, who did not hesitate to end when noticing who would be his wife for almost four decades. The couple married after 24 months of courtship by proxy and civilly on July 17, 1969 through a ceremony in which the former mayor of Seville, Luis Uruñuela, represented the groom, because he was in Bordeaux at a meeting of the PSOE in exile. The groom was able to reach the Andalusian capital the next day and it was then that the religious ceremony took place in the Loreto monastery. The couple spent the first years of marriage in Seville and, in 1975, they moved to Madrid with their two older children. Three years later the little girl, Maria, was born. This marriage was always characterized by being very united and wasting complicity. However, after 37 years of marriage, PSOE sources confirmed the separation of Felipe González and Carmen Romero, although many people have commented that the couple had been living separate lives for years.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
The filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith changed the lives of actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie forever. During this film a mythical love story for Hollywood was born. In 2004, the actor was married to Jennifer Aniston, star of Friends. Within three months of breaking the relationship, the first images of Jolie and Pitt came to light. If something has had media coverage during their marriage, it has been the speed when adopting or having children in a biological way. In May 2006, for example, Brad and Angelina welcomed their first biological daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, a year later, they would adopt Pax Thien, a Vietnamese a little over three years old, and on July 12, 2008 they welcomed twins Knox León and Vivienne Marcheline, in the French town of Nice.
Six years later, in 2014, and after ten years together, the couple finally decided to get married. On August 23, they passed through the altar before their six children and a guest list of just 20 people. At the age of two, Jolie filed for divorce from her husband, alleging in the documents filed with the Court that there were "irreconcilable differences" and she asked for custody of her children. It was the most unexpected, cold and strange ending that could be given to an emblematic couple in the world of celebrities.

The disappearance of their daughter Ylenia, in 1994, plunged them into a stage of disagreements in their marriage and, in 1999, they divorced, with three other children in common in their care.

They ended their marriage in 2008, when they had been married for 24 years.

At the time, he claimed it was a "friend" whom he offered to take home.
