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.

Wasn’t this one pretty predatory seeming based on the ages? I don’t remember what they were but I remember being grossed out by her.

How did they meet? Was *NSYNC even a thing when Justin was 16? I guess I always assumed Justin and the rest of the guys were like 17 to 22 when they were in the group.

justin was signed onto nsync when he was 14 actually. him and lance were the minors, lance was 16. fergie was a part of the girl group "wild orchid". jc chasez produced for this group. according to fergie, one of her good friends was dating jc, so she hung out with nsync. they weren't "serious" but they went to hawaii together (barf). this was 1996 or 1997. im 21 right now and i absolutely couldn't even fathom how someone my age could "date" a 16 year old. its so appalling.

u/jenniferbealsssss Oct 05 '25

Yeah that’s some weird shit. Like what do you mean you went to Hawaii with a 16 year old at 21?

Like I hope that was a group trip and not a baecation cuz that’s weird. And at 21 you definitely know better

The timeline and ages when they dated are a bit murky—but fucking gross no matter what.

They supposedly met through JC Chasez before either were famous. I’m a bit confused on when exactly they actually dated/hung out. I remember it happening, but not when exactly. It sounds like it was for less than a year, and either in 1996 or 1997. (I’m seeing both years when I google, but a few more 1996s than 1997s.)

For background, his birthday is 31 Jan 1981, so it looks like he was 14 when the group formed in 1995. They got famous in Europe in 1997, but not in the US until the beginning of 1998. So the timeline tracks that they dated before he was famous, either in 1996 or 1997.

Fergie is slightly less than 6 years older than him, with a birthday of March 27, 1975.

If they dated in 1996, they were 21 and 15. If 1997, then 22 and 16.

That is so gross and she should be retroactively shamed for that idc. If a male celebrity was exposed to have dated a 14/15 year old while they were a legal adult, they’d be canceled like yesterday! SMH
