Less than 24 hours after Chris Pratt and Anna Faris announced their separation, fans across the globe are coping with the shock of the couple's unexpected breakup. If you listen closely, you might be able to hear the quiet sobs drowning the Internet. 

As one fan penned on Twitter, "Chris Pratt and Anna Faris separating has me seriously reconsidering if love exists."

While any couple's separation comes with a level of heartbreak, this Hollywood pair's split has truly taken fans by surprise. After eight years of marriage, both stars announced on social media late Sunday night that they are legally separating.

The music couple adorably showed off their romance for almost a year before announcing their split in July 2018.

However, split rumors constantly surrounded their relationship, which came to an abrupt end.

We will always be supportive of one another."

The fan-favorite couple dated on and off between 2011 and 2014, rekindled their romance again in late 2017 and broke up again around March 2018. In July 2018, he proposed to another new girlfriend he had dated years earlier, Hailey Baldwin.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield

After playing a couple in The Amazing Spider-Man, the famous actors became a real couple. They shared many cute moments before breaking up in 2015. However, the duo has proven that their love still exists, most notably when Garfield adorably supported his ex during award season in 2017.

The America's Got Talent judge was his muse before their relationship came to a surprising end.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux

The world was rooting for Jennifer to find her perfect match. And we thought Justin may be it. However, after seven years together and almost three years of marriage, the couple announced their separation saying, "Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another."

The pair met on the set of their movie Step Up, and for Jenna, it was love at first sight.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey

They were the apple of the pop world's eye and a match made in music industry heaven. Fans even followed along their dreamy—and at times dysfunctional—marriage with the help of their infamous reality show, Newlyweds.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake

They were the couple that made head-to-toe matching denim a date night look. When the prince and princess of pop fell in love and started dating, it was the makings of a chart-topping ballad. However, Timberlake sold even more records when they unexpectedly broke up in 2002, cheating allegations ensued and the 'N Sync crooner dropped "Cry Me a River," featuring a music video Britney look-a-like and the line, "The bridges were burned. Now it's your turn to cry."

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston

The blockbuster movie stars were the center of Hollywood's A-list circle and an ongoing subject of fascination for the press.

"I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."
