15 Stars Who Went Through a Breakup But Ended Up Being Happier Single
It’s not easy for any couple when a long-term relationship comes to an end. But a recent study has shown that many people feel happier and healthier when they’re single rather than married. And some celebrities who have chosen to separate from their other halves and are now perfectly happy with that decision can serve as proof of this.
Gisele Bündchen
The model met the athlete on a blind date in 2006. Three years later, the couple decided to get married. In 2022, after 13 years of marriage, they announced that they were separating and filing for divorce. Since this time, according to those close to her, Gisele has re-approached her work with renewed vigor and is full of energy and inspiration.
Natasha Lyonne

Busy Philipps

The actress says it wasn’t an easy decision, but it has helped her a lot.
Emily Ratajkowski
In 2022, Emily and her husband announced their divorce after four years of marriage. Ratajkowski doesn’t think that ending a marriage is always a sad event.

The singer got married to Morgan Evans in 2017. Four years later, the couple decided to separate.
