No, Barbie and Ken are not divorced because they were never married. However, they did break up in 2004.
The Breakup of Barbie and Ken
In February 2004, Mattel announced that Barbie and Ken were splitting up after 43 years as a couple. This news came just before Valentine's Day, adding a layer of irony to the situation. The official reason given was that Barbie and Ken felt it was time to spend some time apart.
The Reunion
After a public relations campaign that involved Ken trying to win Barbie back, the couple officially reunited in 2011.
Relationship Status
As of 2024, Barbie and Ken are back together, but their relationship is not legally defined by marriage, as they are dolls. Their relationship status is more symbolic and reflective of societal trends.
