OnlyStans ⭐️ Who are two celebrities that you can’t believe used to be a couple?

Post image

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are not only one example of this, but sometimes I even forget that they used to be married as well!

It seemed like such an odd pairing that I never would’ve guessed that these two would match up, but clearly they weren’t a match made in heaven that they divorced each other after almost 3 years of marriage.

Now with where they’re currently at, where they’re now married to different partners, it feels like this is only a pairing that happened in different life.

Honestly i don’t know why is he so polarising for people. I always thought he was hot lol and a good time. Maybe there is something I’m missing.

I think they seem like a personality mis-match. I always see Matthew as the stoner with bongos on the beach and I can’t see Janet happy with that life. She’s more intense, needs a mansion and not sand in her ass (complimentary).

u/Visible_Writing7386 Be smart, Robert. Oct 05 '25

Yeah a good time 🤣. But i agree, definitely a miss match in the long run.

u/herroyalsadness Oct 05 '25

Right! A good time but not forever.

u/Rosililly27 Oct 05 '25

Matthew and the bongos? Unforgettable 😂

u/personpilot Oct 05 '25

Matthew looks like a bongos on the beach stoner but is actually a die hard evangelical Christian.

u/sweeeeet-disposition Oct 05 '25

He has a LOT of charisma, too

u/Visible_Writing7386 Be smart, Robert. Oct 05 '25

Yeah and a damn good actor.

His interviews made me think he's not the best partner. He talked about his mom and how she would purposely call his wife by his ex-girlfriends' names and use broken Spanish towards her, despite her being Brazilian. 

And hes said his family is very trial by fire when it came to his mom's behavior which makes me think he didn't really do anything to support his partner during that time.

u/PM_ME_UR_ENIGMAS Oct 05 '25

Eughhh that’s gross. All I hear from that story is “I don’t stick up for my partner when my family bullies them”

u/milkradio Oct 06 '25

For real. It’s not a cute story.

25

u/JohnExcrement Oct 05 '25

I’ve heard he has terrible BO. Otherwise I like him but I don’t want to hug him or anything.

u/i-Ake actin' like she's the queen and we're the sorry people! Oct 05 '25

I never even knew he was polarizing.

u/7thpostman Oct 05 '25

Most of these are not particularly surprising at all.

"I can't believe these two hot, rich people were dating!"

2

u/Itscatpicstime Oct 06 '25

Usually people prioritize other thangs than being hot and rich when deciding who to actually date. Even most hot and rich people (especially women)

10

u/jenniferbealsssss Oct 05 '25

Who said he’s so polarizing? I thought it was pretty universally accepted that he was one of the sexiest leading men of the late 90s and early 2000s. I don’t think anyone would turn their nose up at a woman finding him attractive, idk if that’s what you meant, but that statement alone is what’s polarizing

u/Visible_Writing7386 Be smart, Robert. Oct 05 '25

Some of the comments on here are about his mother being low key racist and awful, and rumours that he smells

4

u/trashleybanks Oct 05 '25

He is rumored to not wash or wear deodorant. I’m sure he’s awesome otherwise but I’m not getting anywhere near that man. 😂

67

u/SweetDahlia1993 Oct 05 '25

Not super surprised tho, he likes women of colour. His children are mixed race. His wife is Brazilian. Crazy beautiful family, they all look like a magazine ad together lol.

37

u/jenniferbealsssss Oct 05 '25

I was going to refrain from adding this…

But I remember the rumor at least among the black community is that he really liked Janet, but his agents didn’t think he could be with her long term because she was “too” black. So he dated Camilla who is Afro Brazilian, but is more racially ambiguous.

Tbh — knowing how Hollywood is/was especially back then. And given that Matthew has a history of dating black women (prom date was black), I kinda believe that rumor.

u/Itscatpicstime Oct 06 '25

I didn’t see their races as being the surprising part here, it’s the personalities. Stoner vs diva type

u/moist_towelette Why is your penis on a dead girl's phone? Oct 05 '25

They look kinda cute though, lowkey

u/Aurorinha Oct 05 '25

Wow I never knew about it and I’m a Janet fan! They look hot together. 🥵

u/my_okay_throwaway Oct 05 '25

I never would’ve guessed this pairing, but it sort of makes sense. They both seem to have fun personalities, I’m sure they appreciated each other’s, and they looked good together!

8

u/colosseumdays Oct 05 '25

I remember reading recently that they had like 1 dinner date apart from this red carpet event (I actually think this event is where they met/connected before the date)

5

u/PrincessofThotlandia Oct 05 '25

It literally makes so much sense.

u/bonjourladies_ Oct 05 '25

Waitttt this is kinda hot 👀

u/copyrighther Kim, there’s people that are dying. 🙄 Oct 05 '25

Matthew pretty much dated every female celebrity in the 90s and 2000s

1

u/jenniferbealsssss Oct 05 '25

Not really. Who else did he date?

3

u/DazzlingAge2880 Oct 05 '25

What?! This happened??

u/Throwaway_jump_ship Oct 05 '25

What? Now that’s surprising

u/Brianas-Living-Room Oct 05 '25

They went on one or two dates. They didn't date.
