Ah, the days of Jen & Brad. Sometimes even the most divine couples collide with the hardships of reality, and these fairytale love stories come to a bitter end. It’s devastating, for them and us. Fortunately, there’s almost always another equally divine and beautiful being willing to swoop in and mend our broken hearts. So let us remind you of these Oscar-worthy duos who once graced the red carpets & where (or who) they stand with today:

As if the break-up between this Hollywood hot couple wasn’t devastating enough, we had to watch poor Jen get her hubby stolen by Maleficent herself. #TeamAniston #BradAndJen4Lyfe

Remember when Billy Bob & Angelina were a thing? Of course you do! No one could forget about those blood vials hanging from their necks. Ahem, love lockets. Those love lockets hanging from their necks.

Anyone else think Tom & Keith share an unusual resemblance? Either way, Nicole’s a cutie and both of these relationships were/are adorable.

Affleck just couldn’t give Lopez the Latin spice she was missing. But then again, Lopez & Anthony are no longer together, so maybe that’s not it?

Probably one of the most devastating Hollywood break-ups because Reese & Ryan were the sweetest couple ever – and because CRUEL INTENTIONS. I’m still praying for a come-back.
