Shortest celebrity marriage ever
Life move on quickly in Hollywood, these celebrities have been married the shortest of time.
8. KIM KARDASHIAN AND KRIS HUMPHRIES: 72 DAYS
This marriage (and divorce) was easily one of the most talked about celebrity relationships ever. Reality star Kim Kardashian said yes when NBA player Kris Humphries got down on one knee in May 2011. They got married in August of that year and by October same year, they were filing for divorce.
7. PAMELA ANDERSON AND RICK SALOMON: 60 DAYS
Her marriage with Kid Rock was short, but her one with Rick Salomon was even shorter. The “Baywatch” star married Salomon for the first time in October 2007 in Las Vegas. Then Anderson filed to have it all dissolved on December 14 later that year.
Their first separation wasn’t nearly as bad as their second. There were harsh words and accusations thrown around in the court.
6. DREW BARRYMORE AND JEREMY THOMAS: 39 DAYS
Anderson wasn’t the only star to land on this list twice. Barrymore also has more than one experience with brief marriages.
When she was 19, Barrymore married Thomas, a Los Angeles bar owner, in March 1994 and filed for divorce less than two months later.
In her recent book, “Wildflower,” she avoided talking about any of her past relationship, because she saw the book as a love letter to her children.
“They don’t need to know about my sex life,” she said.
5. ETHEL MERMAN AND ERNEST BORGNINE: 32 DAYS
Broadway’s “Gypsy” star took to the altar with Borgnine, the Oscar-winning actor, in 1946. Their marriage only lasted 32 days due in part to his well-known temper.
But according to the Daily Mail, he has no harsh feelings for his ex.
“I was married to a lovely lady who was a star,” he said. “I was married to her for 32 days and that was enough.”
4. ALI LANDRY AND MARIO LOPEZ: 18 DAYS
In April 2004, Lopez said his vows to Landry while knowing that he’d been with other women just days before. Instead of calling it quits before they traded rings, Lopez waited until Landry found out he had cheated on her. 18 days later, the model filled for annulment.
3. (TIE) CHER AND GREGG ALLMAN: 9 DAYS
Just after her divorce wih Sonny was finalized, Cher said “I do” to Allman in Las Vegas. On July 9 1975, only nine days later, she filed to have that marriage dissolved.
She made a statement to the press after rumors of an alcohol and drinking binge made their way around.
“I’ve always believed it best to admit one’s mistakes as quickly as possible,” she said in the statement as an explanation for their short nuptials.
2. (TIE) CARMEN ELECTRA AND DENNIS RODMAN: 9 DAYS
Their marriage didn’t officially come to an end until a year had passed, but just nine days after marrying the model on the November 14 1998, Rodman filed for an annulment claiming that he was intoxicated when they said their vows.
“Our relationship was very passionate. When it was good, it was amazing. And when it was bad, it was the worst,” she said in an interview with Oprah in 2014.
“It happened so fast,” she continued. “It was so spontaneous, and I remember right after, ‘Oh God, what did we do?'”
1. BRITNEY SPEARS AND JASON ALEXANDER: 55 HOURS
This record-breaking marriage came to an end just 55 hours after it became official. After ringing in the new year in 2004, the pop singer went to (you guessed it!) Vegas to tie the knot with her childhood friend.
Hours later a judge dissolved their “joke” marriage and the rest is history.
“It was me being silly, being rebellious, and not really taking the responsibility of what I was doing,” she said in an interview that aired on E!.
