Take a look back at the celebrities who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in early August 2023, starting with this news …

On Aug. 7, Us Weekly reported that Natalie Portman and her husband of more than a decade, Benjamin Millepied, have separated again in the wake of his recent cheating scandal. “After news of his affair came out, they’ve been trying to work on their marriage but are currently on the outs,” a source said. A second Us Weekly source said that while the Oscar winner “has no doubt” that the dancer-choreographer “regrets what he did,” things between them “just haven’t been the same” since she caught him cheating. “It was a really humiliating scenario for Natalie,” the second insider said, adding that “the spark” between the pair “has been missing for a really long time.” Yet another Us Weekly source noted that the former long-term couple “tried to work things out” but ultimately realized that “the damage was done.” Said the third source, “She couldn’t forgive him and is taking a break for now.”

A DailyMail.com source, meanwhile, insisted that the “Black Swan” actress — who sparked the new split rumors when she stepped out by herself in Sydney, Australia, without her wedding ring on their 11th wedding anniversary on Aug. 4 — hasn’t officially pulled the plug on her marriage yet: “[Natalie] hates that [Benjamin’s] infidelity has made her feel powerless. She doesn’t know if she can regain her power by staying with him or leaving him. It is really a struggle to have to continue to deal with it,” the source said. “They are really taking it day by day because deep down they are really in love, and they are trying to figure out what has caused the distance between them. She wants to stay with him, and he really wants to be with her. They both know that breaking up and staying together forever are still on the table and only time will tell what direction they will actually take.”

On Aug. 9, DailyMail.com reported that Sandra Bullock and her long-term partner, Bryan Randall — who died on Aug. 5 — quietly exchanged vows in a non-legally-binding ceremony in front of a small group of family and friends on a beach in the Bahamas in December 2017. “They really did this for [their children], to kind of seal the deal and show them this was a forever thing. After the ceremony, [Sandra’s two kids] Louis and Laila started calling Bryan dad,” a source said. (The actress said in late 2021 that although Bryan was the love of her life, she had no plans to marry him after going through “the divorce process” with her ex-husband, Jesse James.)

DailyMail.com also reported that despite recent rumors that the Oscar winner and the photographed had called it quits, the couple of nearly a decade were “more together than ever” when he passed away following a secret three-year battle with ALS — a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. “It was quite convenient for them to have these rumors that they’d broken up because it helped conceal what was really going on. It was easier to let people assume they hadn’t seen him because they were no longer together,” said a second DailyMail.com source. A third source acknowledged that Bryan’s health issues “absolutely strained” his relationship with Sandra and “was really hard for the children.”

On Aug. 7, Page Six published a statement from Corey Feldman announcing that he and his third wife, Courtney Anne Mitchell, recently separated following nearly seven years of marriage: “It is with great sadness that Courtney and I have made the decision to separate after many wonderful years together. We have been through so much together and still have much love and respect for each other. There is no one to blame. This is a case of life becoming really hard, Courtney dealing with health issues, and two people who have grown apart and now find themselves at a crossroads,” the former child star said, adding that he and his ex are also breaking up professionally. Courtney, who’s toured with Corey and his band as a singer for years, is leaving her estranged husband’s current tour to focus on her health as she battles chronic fatigue syndrome and other issues. “On behalf of myself and my band, we all love her and ask for your prayers in wishing her a speedy recovery. We don’t know what the future will hold, but we know that the love we have for each other is not going anywhere,” Corey concluded.

Courtney later released her own statement to Page Six confirming the breakup: “It is with a deep and heavy sadness that I am announcing my separation from Corey. We’ve shared some amazing times together both private and public, and I will always cherish these moments we’ve shared together. I love him dearly and I always will,” she said.

We are thankful for all of you who gave us the time and space to process this life altering decision as there are many emotions and changes to navigate.

On Aug. 4, Page Six shed some light on Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth’s recent divorce settlement: According to legal documents obtained by the New York Post’s gossip column, the actress and the former talent agent will share custody of their 10-year-old son, Tennessee, and split his expenses down the middle. Neither party will pay spousal support or child support to the other because they each earn more than $100K a year. The duo — who signed an NDA to keep their business and personal affairs private — also asked the court to allow them to skip a parenting seminar because they’ve been “effectively co-parenting” their son since they split in the spring. Reese and Jim agreed to divide their art, furniture and other household property, while they’re each walking away from the marriage with their own cars and bank accounts. Their properties have already been divided in accordance with their various trusts.

What it isn’t is a crime,” said the “Sex and the City” alum. “You give yourself the same excuses that many men do; it’s just a little side dance, and it’s fun. You’re not hurting anybody. No one’s going to know about this, you know, and sex is just enjoyable. And suddenly, a lot of people want to have sex with you. It’s like, ‘Well, I’m not going to get this chance again,'” he added of his infidelity. Chris also noted that he and his missus are still together and focused on healing their family. Back in 2021, there was speculation that Tara was gearing up to leave the marriage over her husband’s bad behavior.
