There’s always plenty of drama on Bravo -- whether it’s a dinner party gone wrong as part of the Real Housewives franchise or something shady happening on Vanderpump Rules. Of course, that means there are also a number of tumultuous romantic relationships that have all of their ups and downs played out on reality TV.
Throughout 2024, there were quite a few major breakups within Bravo’s franchises from Teddi Mellencamp’s recent divorce to Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s dramatic split. While we don’t have all the details just yet, fans are sure to get the inside scoop on Bravo pretty soon!
Find out why these couples called it quits…
1. Teddi Mellencamp & Edwin Arroyave
Teddi Mellencamp recently confirmed that she and her husband, Edwin Arroyave, would be getting divorced after 13 years of marriage. Teddi, who shares three children with Edwin, says that it was her choice to file for divorce but didn’t specify why she and Edwin were splitting.
“After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce. My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter,” Teddi shared on Instagram.
She continued, “Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward.”
On her podcast, Teddi explained that she was not yet ready to share exactly what led to the end of their marriage but would open up more in her own time.
2. Porsha Williams & Simon Guobadia
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams and her husband, Simon Guobadia, were only married for 15 months before she filed for divorce. While Porsha has remained hush about their split, their divorce has publicly played out in court. Despite having a prenup, things have been complicated as Simon attempted to render it unenforceable in court. According to People, the judge did not “find merit” in his argument and ruled in Porsha’s favor.
3. Dorit & Paul “PK” Kemsley
In May, Dorit Kemsley and her husband PK announced they were sepating after nine years of marriage. While the couple, who share two children, have not legally filed for divorce, they say they’re working through some struggles in their relationship.
“We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together,” they said in a statement. “To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children.”
As of now, the couple are taking things “one step at a time,” per TMZ.
4. Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright
In February, Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright announced that they were separating after five years of marriage. Brittany, who shares one child with Jax, didn’t officially file for divorce until August while her ex was in an in-patient treatment for his mental health. She explained that she had tried for months to reconcile with Jax amid their tumultuous relationship but unfortunately, the situation didn’t improve.
“Even through our separation, I still was holding on hope that we could work things out,” Brittany told People in September. “I think it’s been very obvious how much I loved him and how hard I tried to work on our relationship. I wanted to make sure I did every single thing I could possibly do to give it a chance and to try for my family, for my son, for my future, but I couldn’t do it anymore. I had to put myself first.”
Their divorce is set to play out on season 2 of The Valley.
5. Bethenny Frankel & Paul Bernon
In May, it was revealed that Bethenny Frankel and Paul Bernon had split after six years of dating. The couple had met in 2018 and got engaged in 2021 but Bethenny says they split after the “really traumatic loss” of her mother at the end of April. She explained that she initiated things because she felt there needed to be a change in their relationship.
“The breakup was something that I initiated. I wasn’t happy. Something needed to change. It was certainly mutual. The relationship had its challenges, and nobody dumped anybody,” she said on the Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast.
She continued, “But I went through it. I was scared because of my past and my abandonment issues. I get very scared when there’s any sort of change in someone you depend on and someone that you love, but I knew that it was ultimately the right thing. And I really made peace with it, and I was happy. I was thriving, and I was surviving…It wasn’t a relationship I wanted to be in, and it wasn't a person that
