You know, when you hear about a celeb marrying for the "second" time, you'll be like, "wait, who was the very first?" The curiosity creeps in and we head over to Google to get some answers.

The sky is indeed the limit when it comes to celeb relationships. They meet interesting people on set, on red carpets, and at parties, and sometimes unusual connections are made, and sparks fly, resulting in short-lived marriages.

Some of these marriages were unexpected, to begin with, such as when Kim Kardashian, then 19, married Damon Thomas, a 29-year-old music producer. That age difference appears to be a source of contention, prompting Kardashian to file for divorce.

Then there were marriages that didn't stand the test of time, such as Jennifer Lopez's first marriage, and the media soon forgot about them. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito married in 2006, but Jennifer Esposito divorced him four months later.

Now let's take a look at some more celebrities you probably didn't know were married. These celebrities either kept their personal lives private or have made so little noise since that you've forgotten about their first marriage.
