It’s almost the end of the year, and we figured we’d wrap up by paying homage to our celebrity friends who no longer want to live with us. Why are you all leaving? Is it our breath? Do we offend? Whatever the reason, here are five celebrities (cough, cough, traitors) who either put their Hamptons homes on the market or lowered their listing price in 2015. C’est la vie.

1. Julianne Moore

Whyyyy? Julianne, we love you so! We saw you in “Still Alice” and “The English Teacher” and “The Big Lebowski” and … actually, now we’re starting to sound like stalkers. Moving on. Ms. Moore and her husband, director Bart Freudlich, put their Montauk cottage up for sale for $3.495 million at the end of this summer. The 1,000-square-foot abode has three bedrooms, one bath and a swimming pool. This humble home sits on 0.69 acres. Who knows what its talented owners are planning next? It apparently doesn’t involve us. Eternal sadness.

2. Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber

Yet again, two more extremely talented people are looking to leave us. Sigh. Actors Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber put their sizable Amagansett home up for sale in November with a $5.85 million ask. With a little more than 6,000 square feet, the shingle-style cottage has five beds and 7.5 baths. There’s also a gunite pool and pool house on the 0.67 acre property. Say goodbye to the days of spotting the famous couple strolling down nearby Main Street, children in tow. They’ve moved onto better pastures, apparently. Not that we care anymore. [Tosses hair]

3. Betsey Johnson

Our real life Pretty in Pink is leaving us (and taking our whimsical teenage dreams with her). The over-the-top fashion designer listed her adorable East Hampton home in September for $1.75 million. The 2,900-square-foot English cottage style home has four beds, 3.5 baths and truly embodies the nontraditional charm of this woman. With lots of flowery wallpaper, bright colors and some funky chandeliers, it’s basically our youth saying, “Holla!” So long, Betsey. Our spirited younger selves miss you already.

4. Former Model Nancy Grigor

The Hamptons is a magnet for beautiful people, and now one of them is defecting. Former Ford model Nancy Grigor and her husband Michael Griffith, a high profile criminal attorney, just listed their East Hampton home for $2.285 million. Not that we care. We’ve only been with you through thick and thin, and now you’re probably off gallivanting with a younger, more energetic somewhere else! The nerve! Buuuut we digress: with five bedrooms and 5.5 baths, the Colonial has apparently been featured in Vogue magazine and also has an additional cottage on the property.

5. Richard Gere and Carey Lowell

Well, this one is less of a surprise for us since it’s been on the market for a few years now. But we’re good at lamenting, so that’s what we’re gonna do. The North Haven home that belongs to “Pretty Woman” actor Richard Gere and his estranged wife (and Bond girl) Carey Lowell recently received another price chop to (a still whopping) $47.5 million. The couple first listed the 6.3-acre estate in 2013 for a cartoon jaw dropping $65 million. The compound includes a main house and two renovated guest houses for a total of 12 bedrooms and 12 baths. We hate to see this couple go, but all good things must come to an end. (No, no they don’t. Please don’t leave us!)
