A white dress, wedding bands, tears of joy, and promises to love each other for life. It all looks incredibly romantic, especially when the wedding costs tens of thousands of dollars. However, in Ukrainian show business some love stories end faster than guests can look through the wedding photos.
Some couldn't handle married life, jealousy got in the way for others, and some simply realized they had chosen the wrong person. 24 The Channel has already told about star couples who have been together for more than 20 years, and now has gathered stories of Ukrainian celebrities whose marriages didn’t even last a year.
Alina Grosu and Oleksandr Komkov — about 6 months

In June 2019 Alina Grosu held a lavish wedding with businessman Oleksandr Komkov in Italy. The celebration at an ancient villa in Verona cost the singer’s parents roughly 100 thousand euros. It seemed a fairytale life was guaranteed, but the romance ended after just six months.
According to the artist, in December her husband suddenly suggested they live separately. Later Grosu admitted that financial misunderstandings arose in the relationship because she earned more than her partner.
The singer spoke publicly about the breakup only in September 2020. It turns out a wedding that cost 100 thousand euros still doesn’t guarantee even a first wedding anniversary.
Oleksandr Kryvoshapko and Tetyana Denysova — 6 months

The love story of X-Factor contestant Oleksandr Kryvoshapko and choreographer Tetyana Denysova once resembled a real TV drama.
The pair met on the talent show, and in May 2011 they married. Despite an age gap of 12 years, they hoped to build a strong family. However, the marriage collapsed after just six months.
Their relationship was marked by quarrels and jealousy. Later Kryvoshapko openly talked about conflicts with his ex-wife. And although the singer is used to dramatic performances on stage, family drama proved much harder.

In 2004 Natalia Mohylevska married businessman Dmytro Chaly. A lavish wedding, celebrity guests, and a romantic trip to Paris — it seemed the singer had finally found her happiness.
But the fairytale ended literally one step before the first anniversary. The couple divorced after 11 months of marriage.
Mohylevska later explained that the reasons were different views on life and a lack of mutual understanding. According to the artist, during difficult times she did not feel enough support from her husband.

The couple held a beautiful wedding on the banks of the Dnipro. However, marital happiness proved short-lived, and by 2011 they had divorced.
Some publications name the marriage duration as six months, others about a year. Therefore, for the article it’s better to state that it was short-lived, without an exact number of months.
