14 Stars Who Canceled Weddings at the Very Last Minute Ever
Celebrities fall in and out of love just like the rest of us — sometimes, right up until the very moment they’re meant to be getting married. Here are some stars who called off their weddings at the last minute…
1. Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland were set to marry in June 1991 on the 20th Century Fox soundstage, but Julia called off the wedding just three days before it was meant to take place.

Julia had actually previously been engaged to Dylan McDermott and broken up with him to be with Kiefer. It was rumored she called off her wedding with Kiefer over concerns he had cheated on her.

2. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, aka Bennifer, were one of the defining celeb couples of the 2000s, and were due to wed in September 2003. They canceled the wedding in the days leading up to the event, with Ben later saying it was due to the “massive amount of scrutiny” on their relationship. Jennifer added that they “crumbled under the pressure.”

To get you up to speed: After news broke that Barry and Sabrina reportedly split in late 2024 after a year of dating, the internet was flooded with rumors that he had been unfaithful to the “Espresso” singer with influencer Breckie Hill. For her part, Breckie quickly shut down the cheating speculation on her own platforms.

Despite the denial, the wave of online negativity aimed at the Saltburn star was so intense that he eventually felt forced to delete his Instagram account and release a statement regarding the “hate” he was enduring during that period.

While appearing on a recent episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Barry addressed those persistent cheating rumors directly. He shared a candid look at how the public narrative has fundamentally altered his life—and his perspective was truly heartbreaking.

“I came off Instagram and social profiles,” he confessed during the interview. “I’ve stopped going to events. I’ve stopped, you know, just, socializing. It’s because, you know, there was a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on, a narrative that’s not true, and I never confirmed or said anything about it. And, you know, I just disappeared.”

Reflecting on the unique struggles of “having a relationship in the public eye,” Barry pointed toward the video where Breckie denied the rumors. “No one seemed to latch on to that video,” he noted, expressing frustration over how the public perception has shifted since the breakup.

“I’m not asking for people to become my fan and like me because that’s not normal either,” he continued. “But I’m asking for people to stop assuming and also stop jumping on this narrative and attacking me and dragging me down in any way you can, involving my parents who are no longer with me… just absolutely disgusting and vile. There’s videos on TikTok literally going, ‘I hate him.'”

Recently, rumors began circulating that the iconic sibling duo might be experiencing some friction. While the whispers may have bypassed some, they certainly reached Billie. In a candid new interview with Elle, the “Birds of a Feather” singer addressed these falling out rumors directly to clear the air.

“I heard somebody say, ‘Did you guys hear Finneas and Billie had a falling-out?’” Billie recounted during the interview. She followed up with a definitive statement regarding their bond: “Finneas and I have never and will never have a falling-out, ever in our lives.”

“We’ll get in the biggest fucking fight you’ve ever heard of in your life…and five minutes later, we’re back, laughing and making music,” she explained. “It’s sibling shit. There’s nothing else in the world like sibling relationships.” It is a sentiment many with siblings can certainly relate to.

While discussing their dynamic, Billie also touched upon the daunting prospect of potentially not collaborating with Finneas one day. Her take on the future of their professional partnership was both refreshingly honest and surprisingly open-ended.

“If I never saw Finneas at all, I might literally never make a song again,” she mused, before posing a deeper question about their personal growth: “But how do we move on and have separate lives?”

It is the classic dilemma that defines almost every legendary creative partnership. As fans ponder the future of their favorite musical duo, the full profile offers even more insight into Billie’s current world.
If you’re a millennial of a certain age, you know Shannon Elizabeth from a few things. Between the American Pie franchise, Tomcats, Scary Movie, and even a Jay and Silent Bob movie or two, she was arguably one of the queens of the “movies you watched at a sleepover party” subcategory.

Shannon’s acting career has remained fairly steady since then, but she recently took on a new role entirely: OnlyFans creator. She joined the service just a few weeks ago, telling People at the time that starting her own OnlyFans was because “I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans.”

Well, just a few weeks later, People has a new report on how the OnlyFans foray is going for Shannon — and as it turns out, she’s seemingly struck content-creator gold in the process.

A source tells the publication that Shannon brought in “more than seven figures” on the first week she joined OnlyFans. Seven figures! Let that sink in.

The source adds that Shannon “is really making a name for herself” on her page, and they also note that there is no full nudity featured on it. “She is super happy she now gets to take control and be engaged with her fans,” the source adds.
