35+ Celebrities Who Had a Glow Up After Divorce
Reese Witherspoon – Then
After meeting fellow actor Ryan Philipe on her 21st birthday, Reese Witherspoon and Phillips were married in Charleston in 1999. Witherspoon admitted that she married at a young age, revealing that she was only 21 when she wed Ryan.
Their marriage produced two children; however, they separated in October 2006. It seems the problem was their young age. It can happen when people get together too early in life. The marriage also deteriorated as Reese’s fame outpaced her husband’s.

A small ceremony was held to celebrate Witherspoon’s marriage in 2011 to talent agent Jim Toth. The pair celebrated their seventh anniversary, to which Witherspoon stated that Toth is the man who is the reason she keeps smiling every day. There’s no doubt this woman is in a better place.
She has produced and starred in several successful projects, including the HBO series Big Little Lies. Also, she has launched a successful book club and media company, Hello Sunshine. She and talent agent Jim Toth had a son a year after getting married.
Katy Perry – Then
Comedian Russell Brand and singer Katy Perry got married in 2010, but 14 months later, they announced their separation. Almost two years after getting married, Katy Perry and Russel Brand split up in December 2011. They cited irreconcilable differences, and in 2012, their divorce was finalized.
A text message Brand sent Perry in 2013 informed her that he wanted to divorce her. According to Katy, she felt a great deal of responsibility for the end of the relationship but then said she could let it go as she believed it wasn’t solely her fault, so she moved on.

It wasn’t long before Perry debuted her brand new blue hair color — only a few weeks later. It was one break-up she wasn’t going to let pull her down, and she felt she needed to grow from that situation and become something better. Perry has continued to do well in her music career since her divorce.
She has put out several commercially successful albums and singles. She has also won numerous awards for her music. Perry has also appeared in a few films and collaborated with various fashion brands. She started dating Orlando Bloom in 2016, but there’s no marriage in sight as of yet. They welcomed a daughter in August 2020.
While their high-profile lives may make it appear as though they have it all, celebrities are no different than the rest of us regarding love and relationships. When a marriage ends, it can be tough to navigate the emotional fallout and move on to the next chapter in life. But, as many celebrities have shown, surviving a divorce and thriving in the aftermath is possible.
