People fall in love and fall out of love, and there doesn't seem to
be anything special about it. Unless you are loved by millions of fans all over the
world and your relationship is observed by numerous media outlets and tabloids.
All of these Hollywood A-listers had very public romances, that were really
charming and beautiful and, most importantly, solid as a rock. At least they seemed to be…
Today we take a look at the iconic Hollywood couples that we still can't believe broke up.
The true story behind the split of some of them was revealed only years and even decades later.

make yourself comfortable and let's get this video started.
Kiefer Sutherland and Julia Roberts
They met on the set of the 1990's movie Flatliners and in 1991 they were already set to marry.
But in a shocking development they called off the wedding just two days before the ceremony.
Only many years later Kiefer revealed WHAT had actually
happened and WHY Julia had decided to terminate the wedding. Oh please,
let us restrain from the evident jokes about the runaway bride! It was not that dramatic.
Just at that point, according to Sutherland, Roberts realized they were too young to marry
and looked at the situation more realistically. Thus she took a hard decision to end it all.
"I think she had courage. It wasn't what she wanted to do in the end. And it think it took
a lot of courage, in amongst all of that other stuff, to be able to say, I can't do this."
When Sutherland moved out, which happened rather quickly, the Pretty Woman actress
started dating Jason Patric, a good friend of Sutherland without making a big secret out of it.
Even though Sutherland, who was crazy in love with Roberts, was devastated at the time,
he has no grudges against Roberts and thinks she made the right decision for both of them.
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris
Chris Pratt is happily married to another woman now, but let us admit it:
we are still nostalgic about the beautiful bond he had with actress Anna Faris.
When they first met, Faris was surely a bigger star than Pratt and actually a married one.
However, when she split from her husband, actor Ben Indra,
later that year, Anna started dating Christ. The actor said he always knew it would happen.
“I knew I wanted to marry her pretty soon eeafter I met her.
It took a while for me to admit it, because it would be crazy to be like,
‘I want to marry you’ the first day I met her. But I could have!”
He eventually did and the couple welcomed their son Jack in 2012. Some years later Pratt's fame
elevated as he starred in Guardians of the Galaxy and the rest of the Marvel sequels.
Faris had gained recognition long before her husband, but at that
point Pratt literally became a household name.
His skyrocketing career drew serious attention to his personality and his marriage with Anna.
Rumours started circulating about Pratt having an affair with his co-star Jennifer Lawrence
and these talks eventually started affecting Anna and her confidence.
"The coverage, even though it was false rumors, was making me feel insecure.”
Sadly, that marriage soon became history. Fans were raging over the divorce and calling
Anna the victim of what the media called "Sudden Hot Husband Syndrome". They blamed
Pratt for getting ripped and more famous and subsequently finding a younger wife.
But let us not humiliate neither Anna nor Chris by oversimplifying their relationships. The two have
managed to remain respectful towards each other for the sake of their past and their little son.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner They met in 2000 on the set of Pearl Harbor but
fell in love on the set of Daredevil in 2002. Both were in other committed relationships at the time.
So it took them a couple of years to start dating. However, it didn't take long for them
to become one of those couples about which everyone says: it is a match made in heaven.
Garner and Affleck also knew it and things moved really fast between the two: marriage,
first, second and third child. Sadly, that union didn't last and already in 2015 they announced
their split, with many blaming Affleck's alleged affair with the couple's nanny for the split.
The separation was followed by Ben's first stint in a rehab two years later and despite the
break-up she was there for her ex to support him in his journey to sobriety. It was the same year
though when Garner officially filed for divorce destroying the fans' last hopes for their reunion.
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis These two were among the most popular couples
in the 80s and 90s. They seemed happily married for over 10 years and had 3 children together.
This is why when the pair announced their divorce, it came as a shock for many.
It turned out something had been going inside their marriage that no one had idea about.
One of such problems was obviously their careers.
Aside from having super busy schedules and inability to spend time together,
they were constantly stalked and rumoured about by the tabloids. Those rumours involved talks about
Willis allegedly being unfaithful to Moore with his Armageddon and The Fifth Element co-stars.
In her memoir released years later,
Demi said nothing about the rumoured romances as the reason for their split. But she wrote:
"I think both of us from the outset were
more passionate about having kids than we were about being married."
She also accused Willis of being controlling during their marriage and revealed how he
didn't want her to work despite her becoming the highest-paid woman in Hollywood at the time.
Moore also confessed to having her own issues she was dealing
with that obviously affected their relationships.
Interestingly, both have managed to sincerely move on and remain not just on good terms,
but in really good relationships. Do you need proof? Here it is: the exes isolated
together alongside their three children amid the coronavirus crisis. Good job, guys!
Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder
Arguably one of the most adored Hollywood couples of the 90s, Winona and Johnny seemed
perfect together. As Ryder confessed, Depp was her first love and Depp was so smitten that he
tattooed Winona Forever on his arm. They got engaged almost instantly. The whole world was
following their super-intense love story but then, all of a sudden, after 4 years they broke up.
Fans and media could not find a good reason for their split,
but it was clear that both sides were having a real hard time after their courtship ended.
Numerous sources say Depp was never the same after the breakup
and Ryder got severely depressed and drank all day long to deal with pain.
But even despite this gut-wrenching experience, the two have remained good
friends throughout all these years. In a recent scandal involving Johnny Depp and
his ex-wife Amber Heard who accused him of beating her, Ryder spoke out
for Johnny saying that the Johnny she knew and loved had never been a violent person.
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Channing and Jenna were together
for more than 10 years. They were literally one of those couples making everyone go "awwwww"
whenever they appeared together. Just recall the Lip Sync Battle, when they brought their
competitive spirit and their A-game to a showdown that would instantly go down as a classic.
But already two years later the pair announced their separation saying there were no hidden
secrets behind that decision, just (quote) "two best-friends realizing it’s time to
take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible".
Only some time later Jenna confessed how difficult it was for her to learn how to live the new life:
"I met him when I was 24, I didn’t know life without Chan."
She has certainly learned how to do that and has managed to move on, having recently
remarried. But what about Channing? He found consolation in the arms of singer Jessie J.
However, this story has unfortunately ended as well.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston
Remember how we all lost it when Jen and Brad have recently reunited at the Screen Actors
Guild Awards? Well, that's for a reason: we have never stopped loving these Hollywood sweethearts:
separately and together. They started dating in the mid 90s and got married in 2000.
Five years later that story was already over, with Jennifer Aniston declaring in an interview with
Vanity Fair that she and Brad Pitt exited their relationship as beautifully as they entered it.
It is widely believed their divorce was a result of Pitt meeting and falling in
love with his future wife Angelina Jolie. While there was a lot of speculation over
whether cheating caused the split, Aniston was adamant there was no wrongdoing or hard feelings.
What is beautiful about these two is that they have still managed
to remain respectful and caring in relation to each other to these days.
That's all for today. We hope you liked our new video. Be sure to come back for more!
