Hollywood is a very fickle world, one that is totally different from the reality. While most relationships take years to form, or years to heal from, celebs find themselves dating a number of people throughout their careers and getting married in a matter of minutes or meeting someone new before their divorces are even finalized.
While there is nothing wrong with working the game, celebs certainly have a strange way of navigating the dating world in Hollywood, and we say that with love. Despite the questionable romance that occurs in La La Land, there are a number of A-list celebs who we totally forgot dated other A-list celebs.
From Katy Perry's forgotten romance with John Mayer to Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez, Hollywood is full of lost and forgotten flings that never came to be. We figured it was a picture time to take a stroll down memory lane and revisit 15 celeb couples we totally forgot dated 10 years ago.
15. Katy Perry & John Mayer
Katy Perry has been through quite a roller coaster ride when it comes to her relationships. The singer has been married, engaged and all of the above! While she is currently in a committed relationship with Orlando Bloom, and expecting her first child, we often forget that she dated actor John Mayer back in 2012 for two years!
14. Alexander Rodriguez & Cameron Diaz
Alexander Rodriguez may be a great baseball player, but it appears he is an even better dater! The athlete has managed to get himself some of the most beautiful, intelligent and talented women in the industry, including Cameron Diaz. The couple dated back in 2010, but didn't last for very long!
13. Alexander Rodriguez & Kate Hudson
While his relationship with Cameron Diaz fizzled, A-Rod bounced right back up and into the dating game. Only a few months after their split did he find himself with none other than Kate Hudson! Blondes were definitely his type, however, A-Rod and the actress didn't last very long either, luckily for the former baseball player, he is doing just fine with the one and only Jennifer Lopez.
12. Jonathan Groff & Zachary Quinto
Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff are a duo that many people often forget were an item! The two stars dated for over a year back in 2013 and were without a doubt the talk of the town. While the two did not last for the long run, they remain friendly to this very day and enjoy a laugh or two over their past moments together.
11. Blake Lively & Penn Badgley
While we know them as Serena van der Woodsen and Dan Humphrey, these two "Gossip Girl" stars actually dated in real life! They began their romance in 2007 and tried to keep things on the down-low, but their cover was eventually blown when they were getting too cozy on set. Despite how much we loved them together, the two split up three years later.
10. Blake Lively & Leonardo DiCaprio
While Blake Lively's relationship fizzled with Penn Badgley, it did not take her too much time to hope back on board and into the arms of none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. Yes, that's right, Blake moved on from Penn to Leo! The two dated throughout most of 2011, before ending things only a year before she'd marry actor, Ryan Reynolds.
9. Penn Badgley & Zoe Kravitz
While this may all seem like sad news for Penn Badgley, don't feel too bad for him just yet! After his breakup from Blake Lively, the star moved on too with the stunning Zoe Kravitz. The duo, much like Blake and Leo, also did not last long, however, Penn later found love in his now-wife, Domino Kirke.
8. Emma Stone & Kieran Culkin
Emma Stone has become one of the biggest Hollywood stars to date, and while she has dated a number of her co-stars in the past, the actress managed to find herself in a relationship with Kieran Culkin back in 2009. If the name sounds familiar, that's because he is the brother of the famous actor, Macaulay Culkin!
7. Emilia Clarke & Seth MacFarlane
One couple that we totally forgot dated, but now wish were still together is none other than Emilia Clarke and Seth MacFarlane. The "Game Of Thrones" star and the hilarious actor and singer dated back in 2012 and lasted a whopping year and a half. Despite their relationship being forgotten, we certainly think they made a picture-perfect couple.
6. Selena Gomez & Nick Jonas
Prior to Nick Jonas marrying the stunning Priyanka Chopra, the singer dated Selena Gomez! Yes, that's right, Selena Gomez. Considering the two were the biggest Disney stars at the time, their 2008 romance, which lasted over 2 years, was one of the most high profile relationships at the time. While it didn't work out, Selena managed to find love with Justin Bieber only a few months later.
5. Rachel McAdams & Michael Sheen
When it comes to couples we totally forgot dated years ago, Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen's time together definitely qualifies. The two stars dated for over two years back in 2011, and to be fair, made for quite a cute couple. Despite them suiting one another, Rachel would later go on to marry hubby Jamie Linden in 2016, and Michael Sheen marrying two times with Sarah Silverman and Anne Lundberg.
4. Kim Kardashian & Nick Cannon
Kim Kardashian has also found herself in quite a rollercoaster ride of relationships. The star notoriously wed NBA star, Kris Humphries, which lasted a record-breaking 72 days, and later on with Kanye West. However, prior to her first two marriages, Kim dated Nick Cannon back in 2007 and did so for nearly 2 years!
3. Jake Gyllenhaal & Reese Witherspoon
Now, this is one couple we certainly forgot, but wish we had not! Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon were a match made in heaven, and while their two years long relationship starting in 2007 did not work out, we will forever wish it did! These two made for the picture couple, and it's a true shame things did not work out.
2. Taraji P. Henson & Lamar Odom
Lamar Odom has managed to gain a lot of fame as an NBA player, and for marrying Khloe Kardashian, however, prior to his marriage to Khloe, he dated actress Taraji P. Henson, the same year he got married! Talk about a wild ride. The two dated briefly, and even attended events together, however, their spark fizzled and Lamar would soon meet, date, propose and marry Khloe Kardashian in the same year.
1. Bradley Cooper & Renee Zellweger
Bradley Cooper remains one of the biggest Hollywood bachelors to date! The star has managed to swoop just about every single beautiful woman you could think of, however, one that we sometimes forget about is Renee Zellweger! The actor dated the actress back in 2010, and many were convinced that they'd get married. Well, after everything they went through, they didn't!
