Divorce is always hard for anyone going through it. But perhaps for celebrities it can be even harder, especially when every aspect of the situation is being published for the world to see. Below are examples of some recent famous divorces:
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
It was big news when this couple's divorce was announced. It is already Tom Cruise's third divorce, and he even insisted on a prenuptial agreement this time around. The content of this agreement is a mystery - people have only speculated and created rumours. However, knowing usually happens when the rich and famous divorce, it would probably not be too far-fetched to presume that Katie Holmes will leave this marriage with a lot of extra cash.
In use from the late nineteenth century in the US, prenuptial agreements are documents that often contain some sort of agreement as to what will happen should the couple wish to divorce. The idea is that there will be no sudden disagreements or changes of plans by one party, and so they will make the process easier. Unfortunately, for many celebrities, this is not always the case, as so often can be seen by messy divorces hitting the headlines.
Paul McCartney and Heather Mills
Fans were quite clearly disappointed when Paul McCartney married his first wife Linda. Not only had the "cute" member married, but he was even allowing his wife to sing at their concerts and on their albums despite the fact that she lacked the talent. But this didn't bother them - they raised their children together happily until 1998 when Linda died of cancer.
When Sir Paul later met Heather Mills he was again in love. Being a romantic who wrote music such as "Silly Love Songs", he decided to marry her without a prenup.
After four years the couple ended up in court in 2006. Their relationship had lost it's sparkle and it was ultimately time for a divorce. Through leaked trial papers it became clear that the judge was annoyed with Heather but admired Sir Paul as a witness. In the end, however, Heather was given about lb30 million, and a further lb44 million to help care for their daughter.
By now, however, Heather claims to have used almost all of the money she was given from the divorce settlement. On the other hand, romantic as ever, Paul went on to remarry again. His current wife is the wealthy Nancy Shevell who hails from New York.
Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Movie director Guy Ritchie once referred to his marriage with Madonna as a 'soap opera'. But was it really a shock? Surely he wasn't surprised by the over-dramatic coverage of their breakup.
Despite the fact that one of the prevailing initial rumours stated that Ritchie didn't want even a penny of Madonna's money and that simply wanted a good situation for the children, the couple settled on a high figure late last year. The estimated figure of this settlement was between lb47 and lb56 million, as well as the value of their two properties in the UK.
