Top 5 Celeb Breakups of 2012

January appears to be a month of separation with reports of Nayanthara and Prabhu Deva calling it quits and reports of Deepika and Sidhartha also parting ways.

Nayanthara - Prabhu Deva: Southern actress Nayanthara and choreographer-turned-director Prabhu Deva have reportedly parted ways recently. The southern actress was recently spotted alone at the MAA Music Awards. The couple was likely to tie the knot in July 2011 but nothing came out of it.

Deepika Padukone-Sidhartha Mallya: According to reports, Deepika Padukone and beau Sidhartha Mallya have called it quits. The actress has hardly stepped out with Sid in the past three months. But her bonding with ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor has become the talk of the town. Is this the reason for their separation? Well keep guessing.

Jonny Depp-Vanessa Paradis: Actor Johnny Depp has reportedly split from his partner of 14 years, Vanessa Paradis. Rumours of trouble have been around for the last month or so, but received a fillip with celebrity magazine People's story that the Pirates of the Caribbean star and his longtime love are "leading separate lives".

There were rumours of a split last year as well when photographs surfaced of Depp kissing his publicist Robin Baum. At the time Paradis' representative dismissed the rumours and their split as a "bunch of lies".

Katy Perry - Russell Brand: Russell Brand, who married Katy Perry in India in October 2010, filed for divorce on the last day of 2011. According to gossip website TMZ, Russell said: "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

Russell, 36, and Katy had fueled speculation all was not well in their marriage after spending Christmas 7,000 miles apart, with Katy in Hawaii and Russell in Cornwall, South West England. The couple reportedly had a "massive fight" over the festive season.

Paula Abdul-Jeff Bratton: Singer Paula Abdul and her boyfriend Jeff Bratton, owner of record label Cascine, called off their romance in January 9 this year. The estranged couple, who began dating after meeting on a flight in 2010, split because their busy schedules were keeping them apart, People magazine had reported.

Their relationship was mostly low-key, though they did step out in October to dance the night away at a Chad Valley concert.
