Hold onto your loved ones, because Hollywood's divorce season has hit hard this year, with many high-profile celebrities announcing the end of their marriages.

From the devastating end of Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' 27-year union to the shocking scandals of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's split, every other week it feels like another celeb couple is calling it quits.

With so many couples ending their marriages post-Covid, relationship expert and psychotherapist Melissa Ferrari said since the global pandemic, people have been struggling to resume a new sense of normalcy, and found that lockdown really did affect their intimate relationships.

"It really has shaken people up," she told Yahoo Lifestyle.

"I think it created difficulties within families and division between partners. I think some couples had to deal with each other over that time, and if you're someone who needs that real time out, for some it just got too much. The impact of [normal life] taken away affected them individually and in turn, that affects the relationship."
