16 Famous Couples We Forgot We Ever Were Together
For Hollywood and music stars there are few things that can be kept secret, since paparazzi are everywhere watching celebrities in private moments, especially when it comes to their love lives. However, some couples managed to stay slightly out of the limelight and we can hardly remember that they were ever together.
Smalljoys wants to refresh your memory by looking at some couples from the past on and off the screen who were dating, or even more than that, lived together, but since their separation they have found better life partners. Stay with us, as the bonus at the end will make you smile.
1. Ryan Gosling and Sandra Bullock
Ryan Gosling will always be the quintessential romantic boy from La La Land and Sandra Bullock has always been adored by a crowd due to her sweet nature. Thus, these actors were together after meeting on the film set in 2002 in the movie Deadly Calculation and they were together for about two years. Their 21-year age difference didn't matter at all and they seemed to be very happy together.
2. Jessica Biel and Chris Evans
We are sure that, just like us, you cannot imagine Jessica Biel with anyone other than her husband Justin Timberlake. For five years, Biel dated Chris Evans and in interviews they talked about the possibility of a marriage. After dating together in the movie called London, in which they played a split-apart couple, they really decided to go their separate ways and went on to new roles.
3. Tom Cruise and Cher
Tom Cruise was 22 when he first met Cher at Madonna's wedding to Sean Penn in Malibu in the 1980s. Even though Cher was 16 years older than him, he later admitted in an interview that Cruise was in his "Top 5" of lovers.
4. Matt Damon and Winona Ryder
No one can deny that Matt Damon and Winona Ryder are two good actors with pleasant personalities. But many people are surprised to learn that they have long been a couple for a few years. It was really Gwyneth Paltrow who brought them together. As Ryder said in a later interview, “Matt is a nice, nice guy. I am very fortunate to be on good terms with him. "
5. Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr.
Did you know that Carrie Bradshaw and Iron Man used to be dating? Well, actually, it was Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr. who had an affair from 1984 to 1991. Parker later admitted in a recent interview with YESNetwork, "He was the first man I ever lived with."
6. Emily Blunt and Michael Bublé
It is a fact that we could never imagine Emily Blunt with a person other than John Krasinski, but believe it or not, many years ago, the beautiful actress dated the singer with a sweet voice, Michael Bublé. Unfortunately, their love story didn't end well, given that Blunt said she wasn't sure if Bublé cheated on her or not.
7. Cameron Diaz and Jared Leto
Cameron Diaz and Jared Leto not only used to be a couple in the 90s, but they were actually engaged until 2003, when they decided to break up. If you look at their old photographs, the couple were indeed very photogenic, starting with their compatible haircuts.
8. Britney Spears and Colin Farrell
It is indisputable that one of the most controversial couples of the 90s were Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. But few of us probably remember that Britney, the pop star of the 90s, used to be with Colin Farrell. As she put it in an interview many years later, Spears was an "amazing woman."
9. Elizabeth Taylor and Colin Farrell
Since we are on the topic of Colin Farrell, we will surprise you with the relationship he had with a woman 40 years older, Elizabeth Taylor. Before the legendary actress passed away at the age of 79, Farrell decided to honor their relationship by admitting it and saying it was the last romantic relationship she had ever had.
10. Julia Roberts and Liam Neeson
Julia Roberts was only 19 years old when she was charmed by Liam Neeson's personality and appearance. And who wouldn't be? After all, it's Liam Neeson! When Neeson was 30 and Roberts 19, they had an affair for several years, but sadly they went on different paths, both of which led to success.
11. Liv Tyler and Joaquin Phoenix
Liv Tyler and Joaquin Phoenix are amazing actors and are truly adored by everyone. But for some time, they were in love with each other. Some time ago, Tyler gave an interview to Elle magazine titled "How to Attend a Party Thrown by Your Ex," in which she provided details on how she introduced herself to the event hosted by her ex-boyfriend, Joaquin Phoenix.
12. Madonna and Michael Jackson
Bringing together two of the greatest pop stars of all time would be either a big event or a complete disaster. According to Madonna, who shared this photo on her Instagram account, it was "the best" relationship she ever had. While in an interview, Jackson said "Madonna was in love with me." The two idols seemed to have had fun together for at least a while.
13. Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson
It would really be incredible to think that two great actors were a couple in real life. This is the case for Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson early in their careers during the 1980s after starring in the 1981 film Excalibur. Mirren said they weren't in a relationship, but they lived together and were "serious."
14. Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson
The "bad architect" from the television series The Good Place had a relationship with Whoopi Goldberg in his youth. In fact, they had an affair when Ted was married, which forced him to divorce his wife. They later parted ways, and Goldberg finally put their love life in order.
15. Lenny Kravitz and Nicole Kidman
The famous musician and the beautiful actress were not only a couple, but were also engaged in 2003. Later, when asked in an interview, Lenny commented on their separation saying that "Sometimes things just don't work out ...". A fun fact: Years later, Nicole Kidman co-starred on the HBO series Big Little Lies alongside Kravitz's daughter Zoe.
16. Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin
We would be lying if we said that we can imagine Mila Kunis with someone other than Ashton Kutcher. However, the actress used to date the main character of My Poor Little Angel, Macaulay Culkin and they actually had a lot of fun together. The couple began dating in the early 2000s and were together for 8 years. Kunis commented on their separation: “It was very big. You couldn't walk with him down the street ”.
