Ben and Jen, Gwyneth and Brad, Johnny and Winona. Some Hollywood romances were so epic and high-profile, people are still talking about them decades later. However, other famous pairings managed to slip under the radar or happened so fast, we hardly remember they ever walked down a red carpet together. Here are 7 stars you probably forgot ever dated.

1989 MTV Video Music AwardsJeff Kravitz/FilmMagic

Juliette Lewis, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Aniston were some of Brad Pitt’s most high-profile romances. But his brief fling with Christina Applegate went under the radar. The two rendezvoused back in the late 1980s, during the peak of Applegate’s Married…With Children fame and prior to Pitt becoming a household name. According to the gorgeous blonde, Jason Priestly brought Pitt over to her house for a barbecue and she ended up taking the 26-year-old as her date to the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards. However, their relationship didn’t even make it to the after party. Halfway through the show, she ditched him for another guy.

2. Tom Cruise and Cher

This May to December romance between Tom Cruise and Cher occurred at the start of Tom’s insanely huge acting career. Tom was 23 and Cher, 38, when the duo reportedly met at – get this – Madonna and Sean Penn’s wedding. They next saw each other at a White House even. "We didn’t go out till way later, but there definitely was a connection there,” she told Event. Eventually, the two hooked up and engaged in a whirlwind romance, which she confirmed in a segment called "Truth or Cher" on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. When asked how Tom ranked in her list of lovers she said: “He was in the top five. It’s not a long list, just a good list.” According to Cher, she wished that things had worked out. "It could have been a great big romance, because I was crazy for him."

3. Ashton Kutcher and January Jones

Brittany Murphy, Demi Moore, and now-wife Mila Kunis are Ashton Kutcher’s most high-profile lovers. But did you know that he once dated Mad Men star, January Jones? Jones told GQ in 2009 that her first boyfriend was Ashton Kutcher in 1998 to 2001, but he didn’t believe in her acting skills. "[He] was not supportive of my acting," she said. "He was like, I don't think you're going to be good at this. So—fuck you! He only has nice things to say now—if anything, I should thank him, because the minute you tell me I can't do something, that's when I'm most motivated."

4. Jenna Dewan and Justin Timberlake

Shortly after Justin Timberlake’s high-profile split from Britney Spears, he started dancing (literally) with Jenna Dewan, who was a backup dancer at the time. "We dated, not that long. We were like friends...that dated," Dewan confirmed on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. "I was not the rebound! I was very clear not to be [that]."

5. Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere

Cindy Crawford was at the start of her catwalk crawl at the age of 22 when she met Pretty Woman actor Richard Gere –17 years her senior – at a backyard BBQ hosted by famed photographer Herb Ritts. They wed in three years later in 1991 and were married four years before announcing their divorce in 1995. "I think I was more willing at 22 to be, like, 'Okay, I'll follow,' but then you start going, 'Well, I don't want to just follow—I want to lead sometimes and I want to walk side by side sometimes,'" she said about the split.

6. Edward Norton and Salma Hayek

At the time, Edward Norton and Salma Hayek seemed to make sense as a couple, but now it’s hard to believe they ever dated. From 1999 to 2003 the duo walked the rep carpet together. While the romance didn’t pan out, years later she expressed gratitude for his role in her career, namely for helping out with Frida. "Thanks to a phalanx of angels who came to my rescue, including Edward Norton, who beautifully rewrote the script several times and appallingly never got credit," she wrote in a 2017 opinion piece for the New York Times.

7. Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr. were both 18 when they met on the set of the 1984 drama Firstborn. According to People, they moved in together just eight weeks after they began dating and stayed together for nearly seven years. According to RDJ, his drinking and drug use was responsible for their split. "I liked to drink, and I had a drug problem, and that didn't jibe with Sarah Jessica, because it is the furthest thing from what she is. She tried to help me. She was so miffed when I didn't get my act together," he told Parade.

Some celebrity splits are more shocking than others. While certain star pairings seemed doomed from the start (Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, we are talking to you!) others seem destined for happily ever after success. So when the lovers drop their breakup bombshells, the entire world is left shocked and confused. Here are 7 of the most shocking celebrity breakups, what went wrong, and who called it quits.


1. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

After failed relationships with everyone from Ben Affleck to Brad Pitt, it seemed as though Gwyneth Paltrow had found her rock n’ roll prince charming in Chris Martin. However, after 10 years of marriage and two children, Paltrow announced the “conscious uncoupling” of herself and the Coldplay singer. "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate," they said in a joint statement. "We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much, we will remain separate." While neither has ever commented on whose idea it was to split, the two have proved that amicability is possible post-divorce. “It’s a lifelong commitment to constantly reinvent your relationship with your ex, which you do presumably because you have children together,” Paltrow explained to Harper’s Bazaar in February 2020. “I don’t see a reason to do it if you don’t have children together. Some people do. But I think we put all the hard work in at the beginning. I would say very rarely is it difficult now. We’ve learned how to communicate with each other. We love each other. We laugh. We have the best of each other. It’s really nice. It makes you feel like you don’t have to lose.”

2. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth met while playing lovers in The Last Song in 2009. Within a few years, they were engaged. At first, it seemed like a case of young love too soon, when the two called things off in 2013, went their separate ways, and Miley released one of her biggest hits, Wrecking Ball, about the romance gone wrong. However, when they reconciled in 2016 and tied the knot in December 2018, everyone believed it was the real deal. However, eight months later, the couple shockingly split. “Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,” a rep for Cyrus confirmed in August 2019. “Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.” The singer’s recent smash hit, Flowers, is reportedly about Hemsworth.

3. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt’s first shocking split with Jennifer Aniston resulted in a scandalous romance with her Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie. At first, the two appeared to be soulmates, making babies and adopting children, ending up with a total of six kids. However, after two years of marriage, Angelina filed for divorce in September 2016 citing irreconcilable differences. Pitt has since opened up about what went wrong, blaming the dissolution of their marriage on his alleged drinking problem.

4. Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn

After several short-lived romances, Taylor Swift appeared to find her Love Story with Joe Alwyn. The two were notoriously private about their romance, rarely making public appearances together. However, according to the rumor mill they were madly in love and possibly married. However, in April 2023 news of their split shocked Swifties around the world. According to ETOnline, the two went their separate ways in March. Even more surprising was the news that Taylor had already moved on with Matty Healey, lead singer of The 1975. That romance soured quickly, and Tay Tay is currently single.

5. Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth

After a failed marriage to Ryan Phillippe, America’s sweetheart Reese Witherspoon found love with Hollywood agent Jim Toth. The two seemed incredibly happy together and welcomed a child together into their blended family. However, just days prior to their 12th anniversary, Witherspoon announced they were going their separate ways. “We have some personal news to share… It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” her Instagram statement read. “We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together. Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter. These matters are never easy and are extremely personal. We truly appreciate everyone’s respect for our family’s privacy at this time.”

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,07:,Courteney,Cox,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Aniston’s BFF, Courteney Cox, shared her fitness secrets with Marie Claire. “I play tennis twice a week. I used to box twice a week, but my left knee is hurt. I also do pilates once a week. As I get older, I realize it's more important for me to do weights.”

3. Lisa Kudrow

Beverly,Hills,,Ca,Usa,-,Nov,21,2019:,Lisa,KudrowShutterstock

Aniston and Lisa Kudrow worked together on Friends. She talked about her struggles with body image on WTF with Marc Maron podcast. "I just realised, 'Oh no, it’s OK. This is just what I look like. That’s OK'. I mean, do what you need to do to be healthy. But this is your body, it’s OK.”

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,17:,Kerry,Washington,Arrives,For,ElleShutterstock

Aniston listed Kerry Washington as a friend on Instagram.

5. Kate Hudson

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,14:,Kate,Hudson,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Aniston’s friend Kate Hudson shared her typical meals in an interview. "I also make all kinds of smoothies using different INBLOOM blends.

Beauty Aura is another favorite, for a delicious, fruity collagen infusion."

6. Reese Witherspoon

New,York,,Ny,-,July,11,,2022:,Reese,Witherspoon,WearingShutterstock

Reese Witherspoon has worked with Aniston on both Friends and The Morning Show. She revealed to Forbes the reasons she uses Biossance on her skin. “I didn't realize how many ingredients were being harvested in unethical ways until I started seeing the data they had,” Witherspoon says. “Shark liver oil was being harvested by killing tons of sharks and disrupting the oceans. They were finding biotech solutions to these problems and creating sustainable products in very ethical ways by using sugarcane and not harming the environment. Also, women haven't always been at the forefront of talking about how products are made. Seeing this company that was so female forward and so environmentally forward was really encouraging and I was excited to be part of the Biossance family because of it.”

7. Gwyneth Paltrow

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,23:,Gwyneth,Paltrow,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

9. Drew Barrymore

Los,Angeles,-,Jul14:,Drew,Barrymore,Arrives,For,Beautycon,LaShutterstock

Aniston’s friend, Drew Barrymore, talked about her diet with EatingWell. "I eat pretty clean for the most part, which is hard for me to say about other areas of my life. I'm getting better as I get older. I did not [always] take care of myself. I didn't workout or eat healthy, I didn't take care of myself, I probably drank too much. I worked too hard and was an extremist. I resented it when people told me to find the balance. It's different now and I feel like I'm in a much better place. I feel better and I like it. I know when it doesn't feel in balance. I am quick to notice it and get it back on track.”

Aniston vacations with Jason Bateman. The actor talked about his approach to work in an interview with Variety. “You cannot do it all by yourself,” he said. “You know from doing this as long as you’ve been doing it, what it takes to get all that sausage made. I like the responsibility and the pressure and the privilege to be able to oversee that whole process, and be the person that some people might be going to fix a problem or answer a question. That part was really, really fun. Do you have any desire to share the incredible amount of knowledge and information you’ve absorbed over all of these years in a lane different than the acting.”

12. Jimmy Kimmel

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,February,02,,2023:,Jimmy,Kimmel,At,TheShutterstock

Aniston has gone on vacations with Jimmy Kimmel and appeared on his show. Kimmel talked about his diet and workout secrets with Men’s Journal. “With diet and exercise, there's no dipping my toe in the water — I'm all the way in. Then I'm all the way out. I decided I was going to have two protein shakes and a very small dinner every day. I did that for eight weeks, then I switched to a strict 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. I lost 25 pounds that way. Then, for a while, I'd eat a piece of salmon daily for lunch. Now the idea of eating salmon is revolting to me.”

13. Kristen Bell

15. David Schwimmer

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,6:,David,Schwimmer,At,The,RapeShutterstock

Aniston and David Schwimmer played love interests on Friends. He talked about how he navigated fame in an episode of Awards Chatter podcast. "The effect of celebrity was the absolute opposite: It made me want to hide under a baseball cap and not be seen. And I realized after a while that I was no longer watching people; I was trying to hide. So I was trying to figure out: How do I be an actor in this new world, in this new situation? How do I do my job? That was tricky."

16. Matt LeBlanc

Beverly,Hills,-,Aug,16:,Matt,Leblanc,Arrives,To,TheShutterstock

Aniston’s Friends co-star, Matt LeBlanc, talked about his show Episodes to IndieWire. “So many comedies nowadays, you go, ‘Yeah, I can tell this is a comedy, but I don’t find myself laughing.’ Whereas I think this show was actually funny. There was some laugh-out-loud, really funny stuff — and some stuff where you’d just go, ‘Are you kidding me? What a lunatic. Who does that?’ There was some jaw-dropping stuff.”

I’m at very early stages, but I’ve joined a gym and all that, and it’s made me feel really good. I worked out for an hour every consecutive day for a couple of weeks and it was enough that I really started to see the benefits, which I’d never really done before. I always thought ‘this is agony, I’m not coming back. This is torture’. But this time I just kind of pushed through. I honestly lost an inch off my waist in about 10 days. Now I really enjoy it.”

Laverne Cox is known for showing off her figure on social media. Cox opened up about her workout in an interview withInStyle."I'm not overachieving in fitness at the moment. I'm doing it, it's not as high-level, but I like where I'm at with it now. It's fun, it's medicinal, and I'm not being hard on myself. I think studying classical ballet creates this thing where you just beat yourself up, and I'm not doing that right now."

Victoria’s Secret Angel, Jasmine Tookes, opened up about how she stays consistent with fitness with Byrdie. "I always put in my mind how I felt the day before after I worked out," she explains.

I have to remind myself…I call my friend and I’m like, ‘Hey, let’s schedule a workout, cause if not I’m not gonna go,'" she says. "The buddy system is definitely up there at the top of how I stay motivated."

It’s the place where I get to go and… sort my shit out with myself. That’s where me and myself go to fight it out.”

In an interview with The A.V. Club, Brody talked about how he has changed since the 2000s. I haven’t always been on the right side of history. This is a little off-topic, but like you’ve got the Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape. And it was bad at the time. It was bad when you heard it in 2016, but I remember hearing it last year, and I hadn’t heard it in three years. I hadn’t heard it since, like, pre-#MeToo and it’s way worse [hearing it now]. It like feels even like a much bigger transgression than it felt like at the time—I’m always speaking for me, obviously. It made plenty of people want to puke at the time. It made me want to, too. I can tell I’ve even changed since. I think we’re going through a cultural revolution and it’s fucking exciting. and I think we’re going to end up at such a better place for everyone.”

And here’s what I feel now: resolve. We are better than this. We are not perfect, our democracy is not perfect, but we do still live in one if we fight for it and that means that if we try hard enough, if we all do our part, we can fix what is broken. It’s up to us. It’s up to you.”

Orlando Bloom is best known for appearing in the Pirates of The Caribbean and Lord of The Rings franchises.

The final straw was when I broke my back in my early 20s after falling from three stories. I was lucky to survive. Since then, I’ve focused on lifting heavy to strengthen my skeletal structure. That kind of training has evolved into an interest in gaining muscle mass and putting on a little more size. I’m six feet [tall] and comfortably weighing around 175 pounds right now, but lately I’ve worked to put on a bit more for a few roles coming up.”

Ana Zelu is a professional model and social media influencer. She is known for her content in nature. Zelu recently shared a post on Instagram of herself on a surfboard in the ocean. She captioned it, “Yesterday was such a fun shoot, I just had to share these with you 🤍 🛥️But picture number #4?? That photobomb totally got me 😂 Which picture is your favorite ?🌊”

She Swims

As you can see from her post, Zelu likes to swim. The Mayo Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body, but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.”

She Doesn't Compare Herself to Others

Zelu shares a lot of her thoughts on Instagram. In this post, she talked about no longer comparing herself to others. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today’s contemplation led me to a profound understanding of the detrimental impact comparison has on our lives. It’s like a silent intruder, subtly creeping into our thoughts and poisoning our perception of ourselves and others. It’s a universal struggle, one that weighs heavily on the hearts of many. I’ve come to realize that comparison is the ultimate thief of joy. It robs us of our ability to appreciate our own journey and achievements, as we constantly measure ourselves against an idealized version of others. I’ve resolved to break free from its grasp. We should choose to celebrate our own unique path, recognizing that each step forward is a triumph in itself. Rather than fixating on external benchmarks set by others, I’m focusing on personal growth and development. Whether it’s through learning new skills, cultivating gratitude, or simply practicing self-compassion, every effort counts.”

She Hikes

Zelu is seen on a hike in the previous Instagram post. Harvard Health states that hiking is very beneficial. “Like brisk walking, hiking is a good way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, particularly if your route includes some hills, which will force your heart to work harder. Taking a hike on the slightly uneven surface of a trail also provides a natural way to engage the core muscles in your torso and to hone your balance skills.”

She’s Resilient

Resilience is another important thing to Zelu. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Dear Diary 💭📝, I witnessed something truly remarkable that touched my heart deeply. It’s amazing how people can go through the toughest storms in life and yet remain gentle, patient, and kind. I saw someone who faced challenges that would break most people, yet they chose to respond with grace and humility. Their ability to stay calm and compassionate in the face of adversity is nothing short of admirable. It made me realize the beauty of resilience – the strength to keep going even when life throws its hardest punches. These individuals not only endure the storms but also emerge from them with a spirit that shines brighter than before. Their example reminds me of the power of kindness and the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the darkest of times. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of chaos, there is beauty to be found 💕🫶”

She’s Accepted Herself

Zelu talked about the importance of acceptance in this Instagram post’s caption. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but amidst it all, I feel like I’ve taken a step closer to the right direction. Letting go of the past is like shedding a heavy coat I’ve been carrying for far too long. It’s not easy to release the memories, the pain, the regrets, but today, I made a choice to loosen the grip they had on me. It’s like taking a deep breath after being underwater for too long—refreshing and liberating. Forgiving myself has been a journey filled with tears and moments of self-doubt. But today, I finally understood that I deserve the same forgiveness and understanding I give to others. It’s like giving myself a warm hug, wrapping myself in kindness and acceptance.”

She Runs

I always say that it's never too late to start moving, so you know that tomorrow you have no excuse 💪🏻”
