Riley Burruss Details "Hard Time" of Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker Split

Jules and Michael Wainstein, The Real Housewives of New York City

Jules' first season on The Real Housewives of New York City, the show's eighth, hadn't even hit its midway point when news broke that husband Michael had filed for divorce after eight years of marriage. In a very suspicious bit of timing, that new episode airing that very evening showed the first hit at marital discord between the Bravo newbies.

Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas, The Real Housewives of Atlanta

When Real Housewives of Atlanta viewers first met Cynthia in season three, she got engaged to, planned a wedding with, and got married to Peter all in one fell swoop. And all against the wishes of her family. (Remember watching her mom and sister hide the marriage license on the day of the freaking wedding?! Savage AF.) The union was always a rocky one, with Peter's financial issues and sketchy behavior continually coming between the two. By season eight, Peter wasn't even living at home anymore and after the season wrapped, the two announced plans to separate.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, Newlyweds

Arguably the first iconic couple of reality TV, the pop singer and 98 Degrees frontman won viewers' hearts in 2003 with their MTV show that showed off the couple's, especially Jessica's, realness. (Remember her infamous is it chicken or is it fish query?) Alas, after three years of marriage and 41 episodes, the couple split. 

Lynne and Frank Curtin, The Real Housewives of Orange County

When Lynne and Frank joined The Real Housewives of Orange County in season four, they were gleefully spending money like it was going out of style. By season five, Frank's mishandling of their finances blindsided Lynne to the point that she received an eviction notice on camera. The couple called it quits shortly thereafter.

Back in the day, innocent and unkempt Jon and Kate Gosselin were just normal people who bickered like any crazed parents of eight kids under age 8. When the fame of Jon and Kate Plus Eight got ahold of them, Kate ditched her signature business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back hairstyle for long blonde extensions and a fake tan, while Jon started wearing a lot of Ed Hardy and partying with co-eds, and their marriage was over a few ugly months later. The media couldn't figure out who we were rooting for anymore, and the family slowly faded from the spotlight. (Until now...) 

Yolanda and David Foster, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

This one stings. Yolanda and David Foster were still in their first year of marriage when she joined Bravo's bevy of Beverly Hills beauties and, in the last three seasons, we've watched them in what appeared to be wedded bliss, even as she's openly struggled with a debilitating Lyme disease diagnosis for much of that time. That's what makes the recent news that the pair are planning to divorce after four years of marriage and nine as a couple so painful and baffling. What went wrong here?

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, Being Bobby Brown

Hell to the no! At least the tumultuous couple's shortlived 2005 Bravo reality series gave us that catch phrase? The late icon was hesitant to appear on the series following her husband's career, but later told Oprah she agreed to do it for Bobby. "It was just like, 'OK, I'm your wife. What do you want me to do?'" Ripped apart by critics, the show wasn't renewed for a second season after Whitney wouldn't agree to appear again. After 14 years of marriage, the couple filed for legal separation in September 2006. 

Camille and Kelsey Grammer, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

When Camille Grammer joined the inaugural season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she brought with her the arguably the franchise's most high-profile spouse: Beloved sitcom star Kelsey Grammer. But things in their marriage seemed strained from the jump, with Kelsey hardly ever on camera or in Los Angeles. That the two were in a bitter divorce by season's end was no surprise. That Kelsey was such a jerk? Well, that was surprising.

Arguably one of the most famous professional wrestlers in pop culture, late wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan invited viewers into his home for four seasons to meet his quirky family, including animal-loving wife, Linda, wannabe pop star daughter, Brooke, and troublemaking son, Nick. Soon after the series' 2007 cancellation, however, Linda filed for divorce, with the fallout being shown on the spinoff, Brooke Knows Best. 

Tamra and Simon Barney, The Real Housewives of Orange County

When Tamra joined The Real Housewives of Orange County in season three, she was married to second husband Simon. In the three seasons that ensued before their eventual divorce, viewers watched as the union disintegrated in a truly nasty fashion, leading to Tamra declaring a desire for a divorce on camera in the season five finale. This one was not pretty. Here's hoping third time's the charm for Tamra, who rebounded in season six with Eddie Judge, before tying the knot between seasons eight and nine.

Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy, Bethenny Ever After

Vicki and Donn Gunvalson, The Real Housewives of Orange County

Original OC Housewife and workaholic Vicki's second marriage to the boring and often unemployed Donn wasn't quite filling up Vicki's "love tank" so the couple called it quits.  

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, Chaotic

Ramona and Mario Singer, The Real Housewives of New York City

Ramona and Mario Singer had the relationship that all other NYC Housewife couples were compared to. No, seriously, Ramona often rubbed her happily married life in the face of her divorcing co-stars. After six seasons of that, it would've been easy to revel in the schadenfreude of Mario's affair and their eventual separation if Ramona didn't seem so deeply wounded by the betrayal. In hindsight, his sleaziness does throw the six seasons of in-your-face wedded bliss—including season three's big vow renewal—into the realm of "The lady doth protest too much," if you know what we mean. 

Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra, ‘Til Death Do Us Part

More like 'til divorce do us part, right?! The rocker and Baywatch star's super gothic and creepy wedding was documented by MTV in a seven-episode series that aired in 2004. But after less than thee years of marriage, Carmen filed for divorce in 2006. 

Porsha Williams and Kordell Stewart, The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Talk about airing your dirty laundry! The nasty fallout from the reality star and ex-NFL player's split, which came after two years of marriage, has been well-documented by Bravo's cameras. (Porsha even admitted to finding out about Kordell's filing on Twitter. Yikes.)

Luann and Count Alexandre de Lesseps, The Real Housewives of New York City

Has any Real Housewives star more treasured their status as wife than Luann? When The Real Housewives of New York City premiered, she was happily living life as The Countess, cultivating an entire image based around the class that came along with her title. She may have lost the husband in 2009 after his alleged affair with Ethiopian Princess Kemeria Abajobir Abajifar, but she's never stopped calling herself The Countess.

Clint and Dina Eastwood, Mrs. Eastwood and Company

Many in Hollywood were surprised when it was announced that revered actor and director Clint Eastwood would be appearing on an E! reality show. Of course, his wife, Dina, a band manager, and their daughters, Francesca and Morgan, were the real stars of the short-lived show, with Clint making a rare appearance here or there. Married for 17 years, Dina filed for divorce in October 2013 after filing for legal separation only to withdraw the request earlier that same year. 

Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, Meet the Barkers

Yet another MTV-documented couple bit the dust after starring in a reality show for the network. The tumultuous side of the  Blink 182 drummer and former Miss USA's on-and-off-again relationship was nowhere to be seen on the two seasons of Meet the Barkers, which also starred their three children. After the show finished in 2006, Travis filed for divorce, but the two continued makin' up and breakin' up (with Shanna infamously throwing a divorce party in 2006) until 2009. 

Phaedra Parks and Apolla Nida, The Real Housewives of Atlanta

When Phaedra Parks joined the Atlanta ladies in season three, she was pregnant and happily married to ex-con, and former client, Apollo Nida. The way the two met may have raised some eyebrows, but the two seemed genuinely happy together until Kenya Moore arrived on the scene in season five. The bizarre flirting between Apollo and his wife's new enemy was only the beginning of the marriage, however. His conviction of bank fraud in between seasons six and seven proved that Phaedra really wasn't a stand-by-your-man type of gal.

Corey Simms and Leah Messer, Teen Mom

The young couple's rocky romance was well-documented on 16 and Pregnant, before continuing on Teen Mom. Still, despite their tension, Corey and Leah, who have two daughters, said "I do" in front of MTV's cameras in 2011. Alas, Leah filed for divorce after just six months, with rumors circulating that Corey drained their savings account to buy a truck. (Youth, you know?) Both are now remarried. 

Married since 2002, the former Real Housewife and the successful plastic surgeon, who appeared on E!'s Dr. 90210, the couple's separation was shown on the Bravo reality hit after Paul filed for divorce in 2012.
