The year 2020 was exceptional in many ways. However, it had one thing in common with its predecessors: numerous celebrity breakups.

Hudgens, who had been in a relationship with her two years younger actor colleague since 2011, shot the sequel to the Netflix romance "Princess Swap" in 2020, which has been available on the streaming service since November. Butler stands in front of the camera for a biopic by filmmaker Baz Luhrmann (58) as music legend Elvis Presley (1935-1977).

The now fifth marriage of "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson (53) ended at the beginning of the year almost as quickly as it came about. In January, the former Playmate surprisingly married producer Jon Peters (75), whom she has known for decades. Just twelve days later, however, the newlyweds ended their relationship again in February. Then there was speculation that Anderson and Peters were not legally married at all.
