Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were Hollywood’s hottest couple in the Nineties, tying the knot in a lavish million dollar ceremony in Malibu in 2000 after two years of dating.
Yet the sparkle began to wane for the loved-up pair when Brad signed up to star with Angelina Jolie on Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005.
While filming the action comedy the pair fell in love and while Brad insisted they did not have affair the pair began dating as his divorce from Jennifer was announced that year.
Speaking about the scandal at the time, Brad shared: ‘I’m very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful.
‘What people don’t understand is that we filmed [Mr & Mrs Smith] for a year.
‘We were still filming after Jen and I split up. Even then it doesn’t mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn’t.’
Unfortunately, Brad and Angelina’s relationship also didn’t stand the test of time and the pair – who share six children – split in 2016, with their divorce finalised three years later.

Alex Rodriguez was linked to two blonde beauties in 2009 in a story that captured the headlines.
The baseball player began dating Kate Hudson in May and after flaunting their love so publicly, fans were left shocked when they called it quits in December.
However the real twist in the tale came when Cameron Diaz was spotted leaving A-Rod’s apartment shortly after the split, with the pair then becoming a couple.
While they only dated for a month, rumours were rife that it was an act of revenge because the blonde beauties were said to have fallen out two years prior when Kate started dating Justin Timberlake shortly after his four-year relationship with Cameron ended.
‘Kate thinks it’s payback, pure and simple,’ a source told US Weekly magazine.
Meanwhile Cameron’s pal added: ‘Cameron was actually in a serious long-term relationship with Justin. She thinks it’s a joke Kate would be mad.
‘Kate is only upset because she hates being single’, the source added.

The relationships soon fizzled out, however, and all three were single again by 2003.
Reflecting on the unconventional relationship, Aaron said: ‘I started dating Hilary on my 13th birthday. I was dating her for like a year and a half.
‘And then I just got a little bored, so I went and started getting to know Lindsay, dating Lindsay.
‘Then I didn’t want to do that anymore, so I got back with Hilary.’
While Aaron insisted he harboured no ill will against the ladies, the starlets’ feud went on for years,

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe were love’s young dream when they first met at her 21st birthday party in 1997, a moment she famously recalled in an interview with Jane magazine the following year.
‘I don’t know what came over me — maybe the seven Midori sours — but I told him, ‘I think you’re my birthday present,”‘ she told the publication. ‘He thought it was so flattering and now that I think about it … how embarrassing!’
The couple got engaged in 1998 and married less than a year later in June 1999, just a few months after the release of their film ‘Cruel Intentions.’
They tied the knot at the Old Wide Awake Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina. Reese was only 24 at the time and several months pregnant with their daughter, Ava, who was born in September 1999. They welcomed their son, Deacon, in October 2003.
However by 2006 the cracks began to show and after unsuccessful couples’ therapy, the pair split in October, with Reese filing for divorce just nine days after they announced their separation.
Some reports suggested that Reese read an incriminating message on his Blackberry that led her to end the marriage.
However Ryan was also linked to his then-costar Abbie Cornish.
The Australian actress denied that she was having an affair with the star, whom she later dated after his split from his wife, but rumours persisted.

Erin spoke out against the reports, declaring on her blog: ‘I did not have an affair with Tony Parker. Nor did I “pursue” Tony Parker,
Unfortunately, because our divorces are occurring at the same time, great speculation has been cast on our friendship.
‘My friendship with Tony Parker had nothing to do with the end of my marriage (which is painful enough without this added drama), and to assume that we had an affair is naïve, ridiculous, and completely misguided.’
Tony went on to marry Axelle Francine in 2014 until 2020, with whom he shares one child with.
Meanwhile Eva went on to marry producer José Bastón and the couple share a son.

While Khloe had already forgiven her boyfriend for cheating on her while she was pregnant with their daughter, True Thompson in 2018, this scandal the following year shattered her trust again.
Discussing the immediate aftermath of the kiss Jordyn said: ‘I didn’t know how to feel. I was like, “That didn’t just happen”.
Opening up about how she coped with online trolling, the star said: ‘I don’t believe in clapping back, or reacting out of emotion. I could have handled this a million different ways, but I just went with what felt the most natural to me.
‘Would I ever have wanted this to happen? Never. But s**t happens. And in the end, I never want to see anyone hurt; I would hate to be the reason for anyone’s pain. We all have to go to sleep with ourselves at night.’
Khloe and Tristan continue to co-parent their daughter but are no longer romantically involved and the family has severed all ties with Jordyn.
