Even though we really want them to work, some relationships are simply not meant to be. We learn and grow from our relationships and go on to meet the ideal person.

Hollywood celebrities are no exception. They tend to move on so swiftly that we don't even realize they are dating.

But, of course, being that they are celebrities and that their public image is a result of well-planned and executed actions, it is hard to say if these relationships were genuine or simply publicity stunts. We like to believe that the first reason is what brought them together.

But, whatever the reasons may be, none of these relationships lasted, and even their die-hard fans will have trouble remembering that these celebs were together at some point. Do you remember that Brad Pitt and Cristina Applegate were a thing back in the days?

No? Well, that’s justifiable, since their fling was short-lived.

But do you remember that Edward Norton and Salma Hayek were together for four years? We have prepared a list of such couples- they were hot and heavy (at least that's what they led us to believe), but the flames soon faded.

There's even a special bonus feature towards the end.

People fall in and out of love all the time. And celebs, no matter what we think of them, are just people.

Rich and famous people, but still people. And they have their hearts broken just like us.

But somehow, they always end up with someone even hotter after getting dumped…
