People love to hate on Kim Kardashian for her short-lived marriage to Kris Humphries back in 2011 (it lasted 72 days, if somehow you have managed to avoid the internet entirely since then and do not know). But it’s not the shortest celebrity marriage ever; in fact, it doesn’t even come close. Celebrities sometimes go through a marriage faster than we go through, like, socks. You probably forgot some of these couples were together, let alone married.
Not to throw shade — there are plenty of long-lasting marriages in Hollywood, too. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Ellen and Portia, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell (they’re not even legally married!). Lots of celeb couples continue to kill the game.
But today, we’re not celebrating those guys. We’re reflecting on the shortest celebrity marriages ever, and just how short they were, so browse the gallery below to get started and learn what normal person activity you could do in the same time it took famous people to get married and then divorced.
