Hollywood relationships come and go faster than a summer blockbuster at the box office. Two stars are inseparable one minute; the next, they’re just a footnote on each other’s Wikipedia pages. Let’s look at some former celebrity couples you probably forgot about!
Ashton Kutcher And January Jones
Before his high-profile marriage to Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher dated “Mad Men” actor January Jones in the late ’90s. Both were rising actors at the time, but Jones later hinted that Kutcher wasn’t supportive of her career. He reportedly told her she wouldn’t make it as an actress. Given her success as Betty Draper, she proved him wrong.
Seal And Tyra Banks
Singer Seal and supermodel-turned-talk-show-host Tyra Banks had a blink-and-you-missed-it romance in the mid-’90s. Their relationship flew so under the radar that most people didn’t even realize it happened. While their fling didn’t last long, both went on to dominate their industries—Seal with his soulful music and Banks with her modeling and hosting empire.
Ryan Reynolds And Kristen Johnston
Would you believe that Ryan Reynolds once dated Kristen Johnston? In 1999, before he became Hollywood’s favorite wisecracking action star and married Blake Lively, Reynolds was still making a name for himself, while Johnston was already a well-known actress. However, their romance didn’t last long.
Seth MacFarlane And Amanda Bynes
In 2008, “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane and actress Amanda Bynes were spotted spending a lot of time together. Despite their 12-year age difference, the two were reportedly “hanging out,” sparking dating rumors. Bynes soon stepped away from Hollywood, while MacFarlane kept busy dominating TV and movies.
Oprah And Roger Ebert
Did you know that Ebert convinced Oprah Winfrey to syndicate “The Oprah Winfrey Show?” Before she became the queen of daytime TV, she briefly dated the late film critic Roger Ebert in the ’80s. Their romance didn’t last, but his advice helped catapult her into superstardom.
Courteney Cox And Michael Keaton
From 1989 to 1995, Courteney and Keaton were one of Hollywood’s most unexpected but admired couples. Despite their different careers, Keaton, the brooding “Batman” star, and Cox, the rising “Friends” actress, were deeply in love. In interviews, Cox spoke highly of their relationship, calling it one of the most important parts of her life.
David Arquette And Drew Barrymore
David Arquette had a brief but fun romance with Drew Barrymore in 1991. Barrymore was Hollywood’s ultimate wild child at the time, while Arquette was an up-and-coming actor from a famous showbiz family. Their relationship didn’t last long, but they remained close and later reunited on screen in “Never Been Kissed.”
Lisa Kudrow And Conan O’Brien
It’s hard to imagine two funnier people on a date, but Lisa Kudrow and Conan O’Brien did go out briefly. But they soon realized they were better off as friends. The two shared a romantic connection before Kudrow became “Friends”‘ beloved Phoebe Buffay and O’Brien took over late-night TV.
Kristen Bell And Matthew Morrison
Kristen Bell was another college student who happened to date future “Glee” star Matthew Morrison at NYU. The two were part of the university’s prestigious musical theater program, which meant plenty of time rehearsing and exploring college life together. However, their romance did not last beyond their school days.
Lance Armstrong And Ashley Olsen
In 2007, former pro cyclist Lance Armstrong and actress-turned-fashion mogul Ashley Olsen made headlines for their surprising fling. With a significant age gap, the relationship raised eyebrows but was short-lived. Olsen largely stayed out of the spotlight, while Armstrong’s career was later overshadowed by his doping scandal.
