December 15, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Breakup is in the air for Hollywood! Couples are splitting faster than the click of a finger. With Christmas round the corner, it may have looked like bonding time for our celebrities as they get the much needed time out of work. But that is not the case with our favorite Hollywood couples. The past few days have seen popular couples like Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens, Scarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds and Michael C Hall & Jennifer Carpenter end their relationship.

The youngest couple on the Hollywood block, Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens have decided to split after being together for four years. Although the reason for the breakup has not been stated, reports claim that the two are still in friendly terms and plan to remain committed to their friendship even after separation.

Scarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds too have opted for an amicable separation after their two year marriage. Reports in the media suggest that the couple had grown apart because of their work commitments which always kept them busy and in separate places. Some reports also suggest that Scarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds actually separated six months ago.

Popular television stars Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter who met and fell in love on the sets of TV series Dexter have also called it quits this week, after being married for two years. Not to forget actress Elizabeth Hurley who has announced the end of her marriage to Indian businessman Arun Nayar. Liz Hurley has also been spotted painting the town red with Australian spinner Shane Warne. Whatever be their individual reasons, breakup is the mantra that Hollywood swore by over the past weekend. And we just hope that this is the end of the list this festive season.
