7 of the Shortest Celebrity Marriages in Hollywood History

The Quickest Weddings That Stunned the World

Some celebrity marriages ended so fast, fans barely had time to tweet about them. In 2004, Britney Spears married her childhood friend Jason Alexander in Las Vegas — only to have it annulled just 55 hours later. It became one of the shortest marriages in modern history and a pop-culture headline that still resurfaces every few years.

In the early 2000s, Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley also made headlines when their marriage lasted just 108 days. Ironically, both were Elvis fans long before they met. Meanwhile, Renee Zellweger and country star Kenny Chesney tied the knot in a private beach ceremony in 2005 — only to have it annulled 225 days later, citing “fraud” as the legal reason, though both later said they remained friends.

Hollywood’s short marriages may raise eyebrows, but they’re also reminders that even the brightest stars can burn out fast. In Tinseltown, sometimes the wedding cake lasts longer than the marriage itself.
