Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber
Selena Gomez and Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber dated from 2010 to 2018. Bieber’s repeated run-ins with the law, physical altercations, and DUI arrests characterized their relationship. And you may not know this, but Selena herself made numerous, not-so-secret trips to treatment. The two had an intense Instagram feud after Bieber shared pictures of himself kissing a new girlfriend, which boosted attention on the couple.
In the end, everyone moved on when Selena dated German-Russian DJ Zedd in 2015 and Canadian artist The Weeknd in 2017. Gomez is currently engaged to music producer Benny Blanco, while Bieber is now married to Hailey Baldwin.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth
In 2009, pop sensation Miley Cyrus began dating Liam Hemsworth, the brother of Australian actor and Thor star Chris Hemsworth. After becoming engaged in 2012 and then married in December 2018, Cyrus threw a wrench in the relationship in August 2019 by declaring their separation. With both sides of the couple having huge celebrity status, the breakup led to inevitable rumors. However, questions were eventually answered.
Citing irreconcilable differences, Hemsworth filed for divorce eleven days later. Fans thought Miley had cheated on Liam after pictures of her kissing Kaitlynn Carter appeared online, despite the initial suspicions that Liam was having an affair.
Yoko Ono and John Lennon
The Beatles were a beloved UK band that originated in Liverpool, so it was a shock when John Lennon entered a relationship with aristocratic Japanese artist Yoko Ono, who was thrice married and had previously been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. After divorcing their partners and falling in love, John and Yoko were married in 1969. Even with this, the story of their breakup is not what you might expect.
The largest band in the world broke up as a result of their relationship, which was particularly poisonous. According to legend, George Harrison’s discovery of Yoko consuming one of his Digestive biscuits led to the Beatles’ split.
Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton
Angelina Jolie, the daughter of Jon Voight and an aspiring actress, dated actor Billy Bob Thornton in the 1990s. Before the relationship even started, fans were confused by the relationship as Thornton was 20 years older than her. Although they frequently showed their love for one another in public after being married in 2000, their relationship was strange. Curious about this so-called ‘strangeness’?
The pair exchanged underwear, had matching tattoos of their brands, and wore vials of each other’s blood around their necks! Three years later, they broke up. Billy Bob has had six marriages and four children from three different women.
Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani, the lead singer of No Doubt, married Gavin Rossdale, the lead singer and guitarist of Bush, in 2002 after they first met in 1995. Sounds like the perfect marriage, right? Before she filed for divorce in August 2015, the couple had three sons together and had been married for two happy decades. But if they were so happy, where did everything go wrong? Gavin Rossdale had been having an affair with their nanny, it turns out.
Despite being devastated by Gavin’s adultery, poor Gwen bounced back quickly and, three months later, began dating country music sensation Blake Shelton!
Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian
At a gathering in 2006, Kourtney Kardashian met Scott Disick. Although their romance became a staple of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, it was quickly ruined by his use of substances, parties, and alcohol. After Disick was pictured with Los Angeles stylist Chloe Bartoli in 2015, the couple called it quits. They reunited in 2016 after Scott mellowed and said goodbye to his partying ways.
However, within a year, Disick was caught kissing two models in Miami. Kourtney is currently married to Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182, and the two have a son together.
Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling
While filming Lifetime’s Mind Over Murder in 2005, Tori Spelling got to know actor Dean McDermott, who was married at the time. McDermott’s infidelity with Spelling was revealed by Us Weekly in 2013. After McDermott’s divorce, he and Tori eloped in Fiji and welcomed five children together. On their reality TV show, True Tori, the attention-seeking pair discussed their financial struggles.
This was because Tori received only $800,000 from her late father’s $500 million fortune. In a 2023 Instagram post, McDermott revealed their separation after 18 years of being together.
Jesse James and Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock had already dated Ryan Gosling and Matthew McConaughey (lucky girl!), but she was in for a wild ride when she married actor Jesse James in 2005. Sure, this might sound like a dream, but after 5 years into the relationship, a number of ladies came forward and said that they had affairs with Jesse. As you might expect, Sandra Bullock was devastated by this discovery, so the relationship did not last much longer.
He apologized in public, saying, “The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded.” Bullock filed for divorce, and James went to treatment to keep the union intact. Sandra fell in love once more with photojournalist Bryan Randall, who tragically died in 2023.
