Juicy celebrity gossip has existed for about as long as celebrities have. One thing that has sort of always set celebrities apart from the rest of us is how public their relationships are. Every date, every moment, and every break up. It's all out there. But once they move on it's kind of like that couple never existed as a couple. (With the exception of Brangelina, they started the nick-name thing, their relationship will go down in history.)
With that said, sometimes when a relationship is a thing of the past it is hard to imagine it ever happened. So here's a crazy reminder that your own personal breakups won't last forever, you'll move on just like these once iconic couples did. And in the meantime you may drop your jaw a few times when you realize, "those two actually dated?" Yup, they did.
