CELEBS we forgot were once a couple
Are we all a bit over the Brangelina breakup yet? Yes, right? And for everyone who claimed the world would end; we’re still here, guys! But let’s talk about other celebrity break-ups. Bet you there are a few couples here that you completely forgot about?
Sarah Jessica Parker & Robert Downey Jr.
Carrie Bradshaw and Tony Stark. For seven years they were a Hollywood it-couple. But this also fell apart. Why? Well, according to Robert, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Sarah. She was perfectly normal. But he, on the other hand, was “completely out of his mind” (his words, not mine).
Ryan Gosling & Sandra Bullock
It’s hard to imagine, but once in the distant past he was Ryan Gosling not so famous. From a young age, however, he had famous girlfriends. Sandra was the first. He was 22, she was 38, and they fell in love on the set of ‘Murder by Numbers’. Maybe a bit less romantic than his relationship with co-star Rachel McAdams from ‘The Notebook’, but still worth mentioning.
Mila Kunis & Macaulay Culkin
When Ashton Kutcher was still with Demi Moore, Mila was dating Macaulay. If you’re thinking: who the hell is Macaulay?! I have two words for you: ‘Home Alone’. Although that cuteness from back then is hard to find in him nowadays. But hey, for ten years Macaulay was the peanut butter to Mila’s jelly.
Tom Cruise & Cher
I kid you not. Let’s go back to the year 1985, when Tom was just starting to gain fame after his role in ‘Risky Business’. He was 23 at the time and she was 39. Was this the birth of the term ‘cougar’?
Liam Neeson & Helen Mirren
Before lady Helen Mirren was an official ‘lady’ and Liam Neeson wasn’t yet a popular meme with his quote from the movie ‘Taken’ (“I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you”), these two Hollywood celebs were a couple. I may not have been around on this planet when they were a couple, but I’m sure they were totally #relationshipgoals.
Scarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds
It’s almost hard to believe, but ScarJo and Ryan were even married for three years. You forgot that too, didn’t you? Another famous ex of Mr. Reynolds is Alanis Morissette, but she managed to rake in quite a bit of money à la Adele after that split. Do you remember her album ‘Jagged Little Pill’? Exactly. It’s about Ryan.
Johnny Depp & Kate Moss
Johnny’s list of exes is not bad at all: Amber Heard, Vanessa Paradis, Winona Ryder, Juliette Lewis, Jennifer Grey (Baby from ‘Dirty Dancing’ – I had to Google this one too). But Johnny and Kate, that was the ultimate rock ‘n’ roll couple. They are both back on the market, so who knows: Johnny and Kate round 2?
Lance Armstrong & Ashley Olsen
Well, relationship… Flings might be more fitting to describe these two. But in a tell-all book about Lance, it’s mentioned that his management wasn’t really happy with his choice of partner, and so this seven-month romance was ended.
Seal & Tyra Banks
Seal does love the Victoria's Secret-models, because before his nine-year marriage to Heidi Klum, there was Tyra with whom he walked all the red carpets.
Patty Brard & Ron Brandsteder
Ha, yes sorry, this one had to be included too. Pat and Ron. Ron and Pat. Honestly? May whispered this one to me. They were once married in 1979 (ten years before I was even born), but the marriage only lasted a year. I wanted to say: third time’s the charm for Patty, but in her case, she’s going for lucky number four.
