- Emily Ratajkowski went viral on TikTok for saying divorce before 30 is "chic."

2023 is turning out to be a big year for celebrity divorces — but Emily Ratajkowski is taking positives out of the somber trend.
Earlier this week, the model — who was previously married to Sebastian Bear-McClard — shared a viral TikTok discussing divorce and why she thinks it's a particularly good thing for people under 30 to experience it.
"A lot of ladies are getting divorced before they turn 30 and as someone who got married at 26, has been separated for a little over a year, I'm 32, I have to tell you, I don't think there's anything better," she said.
"There is nothing better than being in your thirties," she added, "and having tried that married fantasy and realizing that it's maybe it's not all its cracked up to be."
Captioning the TikTok, the model wrote that she "personally" finds it "chic to be divorced by the age of 30."
With that in mind, here's a look at some of the other celebrities to have divorced before they hit 30.
Sophie Turner, 27, and Joe Jonas, 34, announced they were heading for divorce in September after four years of marriage.
The "Game of Thrones" star and Jonas married in 2019 in dual weddings in Las Vegas and France.
During their marriage, the pair welcomed two children and bought a six-bedroom, nine-bathroom house for $11 million in Miami. Jonas and Turner sold the beachfront mansion for $15 million earlier this year.
Not long after, the pair confirmed that they were divorcing, releasing joint statements posted to Instagram that read: "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage."
"There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children," the statement continued.
According to People, Jonas filed for a dissolution of marriage prior to the release of the statement, claiming "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken."
