1. Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt- Pitt fell in love with Angelina Jolie, who is happily committed (but not married to) today while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Pitt seems to be doing better than when he was married to Aniston. It all seemed more like a pretty idea or picture of what a Hollywood couple should look like. After years of rivalry with Jolie, Aniston has found happiness with actor Justin Theroux.

2. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake- This couple is probably the most memorable to teens and youngsters of the 90s. Spears and Timberlake practically grew up together after meeting in "The Mickey Mouse Club." They haven’t spoken for years. Spears married and divorced Kevin Federline while Timberlake married Jessica Biel in 2012.

3. Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal- After three years of dating, Witherspoon called it quits with Gyllenhaal. Other than a few good years together, the ex Hollywood couple did create something good together: the film “Rendition.” Witherspoon broke up with the dreamy Gyllenhaal after a series of continuous fighting.

4. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling- “The Notebook” co-stars began dating after working on the film. Their relationship lasted two years from 2004. The two experienced a clean breakup and remain friends. Gosling helped McAdams through her tough relationship with Michael Sheen.

5. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck- The beautiful Latina singer/actress and successful actor/ director dated for two years (it felt longer than that to fans). The ex duo managed to stay friends after both moved on to start a family—Lopez moved on to Marc Anthony and Affleck to another Jennifer (Garner).

6. Katy Perry and Russell Brand- More recently than the previous couples mentioned, Brand broke Perry’s heart. In her concert film/documentary, Perry shows how she went through terrible emotions that couldn’t get her through some concerts. They divorced after being together for just over one year. Perry mentions in interviews that Brand texted her saying he wanted a divorce. It’s safe to say this was not a clean split.

 7. Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest- No one knows exactly why they broke up after three years of dating. They seemed to bring out the best of each other on the red carpet. Several explanations have been rumored, one of them being that Hough is too young and wild for Seacrest who is older and mature.
