Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez - Separation is never easy, especially when you’re in the public eye. While some divorces are done amicably, some turn just plain nasty. From marriages that lasted less than a month, such as Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson’s, to Master P’s 20-year union, there’s a story behind them all. Check out which celebrities called it quits in 2015. After two years and one child together, Halle and Olivier decided to end their marriage in October, making it the Oscar winner's third divorce. Unlike her last split, they vowed to keep things amicable and even released a joint statement: “We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life and we hope that you respect our and, most importantly, our children's privacy as we go through this difficult period."...

Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson - The divorce battle between these WNBA stars turned out to be longer than their marriage. Just 28 days after saying “I do,” Griner filed for an annulment this past summer. To make matters more complicated, Johnson was pregnant with twins via IVF — a decision she claims was made by both Griner and Johnson before marriage. Johnson's bid for child and spousal support was shut down by a judge. (Photos from left: Christian Petersen/Getty Images, Darrell Walker/Icon SMI/Corbis)

Timbaland and Monique Mosley - The second time was a charm for Monique Mosley, who filed for divorce for the second time from her music producer husband this year. Back in 2013, she filed for separation, requesting permanent alimony, life insurance, spousal support and money for private schooling, summer camp and vacation for their kids. Unsurprisingly, they soon reconciled. Two years later and it seems like things have not gotten better. No reports as to what she’ll be asking for this time around.

Terrence Howard and Mira Pak - The Empire star secretly divorced his third wife, Mira Pak, at the beginning of the year — though somehow they are still very much acting like a couple in love.

The news of their divorce became public while he was in court settling another case with his second ex-wife, Michelle Ghent. Complicated. (Photo by John Sciulli/Getty Images for NAACP Image Awards)
