A vow renewal doesn’t guarantee a marriage will last forever.
Many celebrity couples have chosen to celebrate milestone anniversaries with a vow renewal ceremony, but several pairs have split not long after recommitting to each other. Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO marked their seventh anniversary in 2023 by revisiting the Las Vegas chapel where they initially tied the knot to say “I do” for a second time. Three years later, the pair surprised the public when they split in May 2026.
Other couples made vow renewals an annual occasion, such as Heidi Klum and Seal — who separated in 2012 after nearly seven years of marriage — and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, who got married in 2008 and finalized their divorce eight years later.
Below, here are nine celebrity couples who split after renewing their wedding vows.

Jelly and Bunnie first tied the knot in 2016 at a Las Vegas chapel and returned to the same location seven years later to renew their wedding vows.
In May 2026, the singer filed for divorce from Bunnie after nearly 10 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. During a June 2026 episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie shared that the pair were divorcing “on the best possible terms.”
“J is my best friend,” she said. “Like, this isn’t what you guys think this is. Nobody cheated on the other person. It’s literally just we served our purpose for each other.”

Speaking with The Sunday Timesin July 2021, Klum said that she and Seal renewed their wedding vows yearly in an attempt to make their marriage work.
“I think I got married eight times to Seal,” she said. “I thought it would be kind of, like, fun. I thought it would be a fest of love. But you know, that doesn’t work either. I tried, you can’t say I didn’t try!”

Carey and Cannon dated for two months before tying the knot in May 2008 at the singer’s Bahamian estate. They renewed their wedding vows twice before welcoming their twins, Moroccan and Monroe, in April 2011.
The couple continued to renew their vows nearly every year before separating in 2014. In her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, the singer opened up about why she and Cannon split.
“Honestly, I think Nick and I could have worked it out between the two of us, but egos and emotions got inflamed (which can translate into many billable lawyer hours, and ultimately it did),” she wrote in the book. “It was tough. We both wanted to make sure everything was cool for our family. We will always be family, and we make it work.”
