Beloved Hollywood couple (and Step Up costars) Jenna and Channing Tatum have announced they're separating after nine years of marriage. Cue the "love is dead" outpouring.
"We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple," the two wrote in identical Instagrams they shared. "We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love each other, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now. There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision—just two best friends realizing it's time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible. We are still a family and will always be loving, dedicated parents to Everly. We won't be commenting beyond this, and we thank you in advance for respecting our family's privacy."
Here, the saddest but funniest reactions to the news, from relatable tweets of despair to punny asides. Because we'll always have internet humor to help heal a broken heart.
