Editor's note: Celebrity divorces always hit the headlines as much as their luxurious weddings. With the sad end of a relationship, their photos hand-in-hand, diamond wedding rings or sweet kisses live on only in old magazines. In the first half of 2010, we are sorry to find that five celebrity couples got divorced.
1. Kate Winslet & Sam Mendes
Shortly after many actresses win the movie industry's highest honor, their most important relationships fall apart in what has become known in Hollywood as the "Oscar curse." There is another example in accord with the curse. Oscar-winning couple Kate Winslet and her director husband Sam Mendes announced in March that they had separated after less than seven years of marriage. The marriage was the second for Winslet, 34, who won a best actress Oscar for her role in the 2008 Holocaust-themed movie "The Reader". She was divorced from her first husband, assistant director Jim Threapleton in 2001, after three years.
