1. Charli D’Amelio and Chase Hudson (a.k.a. Lil Huddy)
This TikTok power couple got millions of followers with their cute content, but it all ended when they were accused of cheating. Chase is accused of kissing another TikTok star, and the breakup was aired.

The judgment of the masses, the lack of trust worsened by internet rumors, and the pressures of being an individual brand

2. Zoe Laverne and Cody Orlove
This friendship went viral in the wrong sense. Following accusations of cheating and control, fans were really engaged. Their arguments and emotional breakdowns were all over videos.

Sharing too many personal issues online and the involvement of fans always

Lesson: a TikTok relationship may not work in real life.
7. Avani Gregg and Anthony Reeves
Their split was not as messy as others, but their fans were speculating for months with vague posts and a sudden lack of couple content.

Online pressure to always "appear happy," growing apart while maintaining a public image
