Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters: 12 days
Just 12 days after they married in an intimate ceremony in Malibu, Pamela Anderson declared that she was taking some time apart from her fifth husband and old flame Jon Peters, so they could both "re-evaluate what we want from life and from one another". The newlyweds hadn't yet formalised their marriage certificate, and said they had decided to wait to do so until they had reached a decision about the future of their relationship.
Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon: 60 days

Hollywood heartthrob Nicolas Cage and his former wife Lise Marie Presley only lasted four months before their marriage unravelled. The duo cited irreconcilable differences as a reason for their abrupt end to a whirlwind romance.
The couple were both in relationships at the time they first met, but their love wasn't meant to be. "We got into this unfortunate pattern of breaking up, getting back together again, breaking up, getting back together again," Nicolas told Barbara Walters in 2013.
Despite their differences, Nicolas was said to be "bereft" at the news of Lisa's sudden passing in 2023.
