25 Celebrity Couples We Totally Forgot Were Ever Together
We love celebrity romances. There is something so lovely about seeing two of your favorite stars fall in love and become a couple.
[ ADVERTISEMENT ]
But, sadly, not all celebrity love stories have happy endings. In fact, most of them don't last very long at all.
So much so that there are a lot of famous couples we've entirely forgotten were ever together! I mean, do you remember Keira Knightley and Jamie Doran being together?
What about Josh Hutcherson and Vanessa Hudgens? Not only were they together, but according to Josh, Vanessa broke his heart.
And, okay, Ryan Gosling and Sandra Bullock were a thing. They dated for a whole year - did you ever even know? Nope, me neither!
It's always sad when a couple you've been rooting for dissolves into heartbreak. We tend to invest so much in our favorite celebrities' lives that we feel genuinely sad when things don't go well for them and their relationships.
We've all been there, and we know how much breakups suck. We just want our beloved stars to find happiness after all.
We thought it would be a great time to look back on some of the best celebrity couples that we forgot ever existed. We have 25 forgotten romances, complete with photos for your enjoyment.

John and Rashida had fantastic chemistry on the set of The Office.
And it all makes perfect sense now because the pair had previously dated each other for a year. Although they had already split up before Rashida joined the cast, they still got on well.
