Kermit and Miss Piggy Split? Say It Isn’t So!
Several famous couples have announced their "conscious uncoupling" in the last few months. However, none of these breakups has created in more reaction on social media than the recent announcement on Facebook that Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog were "terminating their romantic relationship".
By the reaction on Twitter, this split seems to have upset many people. Perhaps it's because we've watched Miss Piggy chase after her beloved "Kermi" since the days of the Muppet Show until they were finally married at the end of Muppets Take Manhattan. Others, however, sensed a publicity stunt as they will be working together in their new series, The Muppets, premiering in the fall.
Here are some books about other famous couples who were also unable to make their marriages last.

Poor Piggy. Still, I think she can do better. The Swedish Chef will cook for her but maybe the language barrier would cause problems. Scooter? As a show business guy himself, he would understand Piggy’s diva lifestyle.
Me too, I smell a publicity stunt – my fingers are crossed that Piggy and Kermit will mend their fences.
Neil Gaiman mourned the marriage break-up on twitter and Kermit responded to him that this is the way it was in Hollywood.
I think Scooter is a great idea Margaret.
Sephora, I guess you’ll just have to watch the new show to find out! Hmm, perhaps that was the plan all along.
That’s sad. It would be nice to think that some Hollywood marriages could last.
