Venus Retrograde: A Curse on Celebrity Relationships?
Venus retrograde, which occurs when the planet Venus appears to move backward in the sky, is often associated with relationship challenges. This year, the retrograde period is taking place from July 22 to September 3, and it has already been a tumultuous time for some celebrity couples.
Venus is a planet associated with love, beauty, sensuality, relationships and women. Its energy invites enjoyment, self-love and openness to generate encounters with other people, and when it goes retrograde, it can bring up unresolved issues and insecurities.
About Venus retrograde, Venezuelan astrologer Mia Astral has said: “Some of our relationships can cool off or can change, realizing we want something else. Venus has to do with realizing ‘I value this, this is what I want, and why do I want it? Because this is valuable to me.’ Venus retrograde is more about differentiating between if I want it or is it that everyone wants that.”
Celebrity Couples That Have Parted Ways During Venus Retrograde
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez
One of the most high-profile breakups during this Venus retrograde period has been that of Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez. The couple got married in May 2021 and reports about their separation were announced on July 15. Since then, the singer has been seen without her ring and has been linked to her “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater.

Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro
Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro have also ended their engagement. The couple, who had been together for three years, announced their split on July 26, four months after getting engaged. In a statement, he said: “Yes, a few months ago Rosi and I ended our engagement. There are thousands of problems that can cause a breakup, but in our case it was not because of third parties or infidelity. During this time I’m taking to digest all of this, erroneous public allegations have surfaced, and out of respect for her, our families, and all that we experienced, I couldn’t stand by and continue to watch them try to destroy history further of love that God has allowed me to live.”
