Once upon a time in 1999, a young blonde pop star named Jessica Simpson met another young blond-ish pop star, Nick Lachey, at a Teen People party, and they immediately fell in love. Lachey even wrote a song about their passion -- that would be "My Everything" -- and then he and his new bride signed up to film their love for an MTV reality show called "Newlyweds." But instead of finding "happily ever after," Lachey and Simpson found grounds for divorce in 2005 after three years of marriage. They both are now parents and married to others.

In 2001, every teenager with access to MTV and Teen People wanted to find the Britney Spears to their Justin Timberlake (or vice versa). With those two ruling pop music, not even their questionable fashion sense could mar the public's love for their romance. Sadly, matching denim outfits wasn't enough to make this last: The couple broke up in 2002, and many listeners believe Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" is about his relationship with Spears. Spears had a super brief marriage to friend Jason Alexander in 2004 and was married to backup dancer Kevin Federline from 2004 to 2007. Timberlake married actress Jessica Biel in 2014.

Madonna's four-year marriage to Sean Penn was one of the wildest rides of the '80s, and that's saying something, but we agree with her words after their divorce in 1989: "I do believe we all have soul mates," she told People magazine. "I don't believe that we necessarily end up with them." After their split, both Madonna and Penn moved on to new relationships (several times).

The reason we're wistful for the days when Ryan Gosling was dating Rachel McAdams is simple: If the two people who starred in "The Notebook" can't make it work, who can? So far Gosling has been making it work with actress Eva Mendes and the pair have two daughters. McAdams has been in a relationship with screenwriter Jamie Linden since 2016.
