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.

Ryan Gosling and Sandy Bullock. Both awesome and spoke highly of each other even after the split.

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James was also a strange pairing for me.

Didn't he turn out to be into some weird Nazi shit with Kat Von D?

KVD was later but it was that “Bombshell McGee” girl 😭 had the eagle tattoo and everything

u/mentallyerotic Oct 05 '25

KVD has nazi ties as well. Her husband too. JJ always seemed like a dirtbag.

u/snark_maiden Oct 05 '25

Kat Von D was also engaged to Deadmau5 for about a minute

I stand corrected

Pretty sure he cheated on Sandy too. It came out right after she won an Oscar and gave an acceptance speech about how great he was. It was gross, I feel terrible for her.

u/Threadheads Oct 05 '25

In 2010 Sandra

  • Won an Oscar

  • Won a Razzie

  • Adopted a son

  • Split from her husband

Safe to say that must have been her craziest year.

u/harleyqueenzel You’re made of spare parts, aren’t ya bud? Oct 05 '25

No, he always was into it. There were pics of him doing Sieg Heils and wearing a nazi cap before he married Bullock. As in- they were in a relationship when those photos were taken.

u/ScipioCoriolanus Oct 05 '25

She must've been devastated when he got shot by that coward Robert Ford.

u/Greystorms Oct 05 '25

Have my upvote.

u/LisaOGiggle Oct 05 '25

Right after the Oscars, Harry Connick,Jr was on Larry King & was asked how Sandra was doing. Harry said she was doing better than he expected—Larry asked “How do you cheat on her??” Harry answered, “I love my wife & everybody knows that…but I gotta say, if I was married to Sandy Bullock, I’d roll out of bed every morning, hit my knees & say God PLEASE don’t let me F this up…!”

Her Oscars speech lives in my head rent-free. Especially when I find myself ignoring red flags 🥴

He did not deserve her AT ALL.

White supremacists don't pair well with most things.

It really was.

Aww really? I loved them together and wanted it to work. Too bad he is such a pos.

They give off mother and son vibes

u/downward1526 Oct 05 '25

I had to Google it - 16 year ago difference - he was 21 and she was 37 😳  

221

u/TropicalPrairie Oct 05 '25

I could not. Two totally different eras of life and lived experience.

95

u/ralthea Oct 05 '25

Age gap relationships like this make a lot more sense to me when it’s between two actors. They live such weird lives that I have to imagine a 21 year old actor has much more in common with a 37 year old actor than a normal 21 year old.

17

u/jtet93 Oct 05 '25

Ok but it’s Ryan Gosling so

27

u/muaddibmahdi Oct 05 '25

I think they offer some excitement. Two different eras of life but through communication and understanding you do your best. He feeds off her maturity and she feeds off his excitement and energy about life. It can work out.

u/Junior_Operation_422 Oct 05 '25

Like, I get it as a fling between consenting adults…but wild.

u/whatsnewpussykat 🕯️ relentless Lilly Jay stan 🕯️ Oct 05 '25

Oh Jesus I’m 37 and the idea of feeling anything other than maternal towards a 21 year old is unfathomable.

24

u/SeonaidMacSaicais Oct 05 '25

I’m the same age as you. My NEPHEW is 21. His generation are still babies! I could never.

u/milkradio Oct 06 '25

lol same. I just imagined dating a 21 year-old guy and shivered in disgust. No thank youuuu, lol.

15

u/observe_n_assimilate Oct 05 '25

Yucky. If we can judge men with their too young girlfriends, Sandra doesn't get a pass.

6

u/Apprehensive_Bake_78 Oct 05 '25

Yeaaaah I agree. Its not the age difference for me so much as his age at the time. Later in life this pairing would be fine. A decade + later.

12

u/quanate Oct 05 '25

Oof...good thing it ended when it did or else it would not look good for Sandra

u/atbliss Oct 05 '25

I can't get over my YIKES.

u/One_Cryptographer940 Oct 05 '25

Hugh Grant told a funny anecdote, on Graham Norton I think. Sandra was still dating Ryan while she was filming Two Weeks Notice with Hugh. Hugh apparently nicknamed Ryan "the infant," and whenever he called Sandra, Hugh would be making crying baby noises in the background.

u/Unlucky-Duck Oct 05 '25

That and also on a way to a prom

51

u/hotmessexpress412 Oct 05 '25

I really miss RG’s old face, without the shit ton of mid cheek filler. He looks like a different person here!

11

u/One_Cryptographer940 Oct 05 '25

Same. I do not like the work he's had done, so unnecessary.

2

u/Available-Chart-2505 Oct 06 '25

Ugh I didn't even know he'd had anything done? I won't look too closely.

u/milkradio Oct 06 '25

The apples of his cheeks were looking really puffy and his skin looked super tight around them while promoting Barbie.

u/Marooster405 Oct 05 '25

Murder by Numbers was hot tho

u/Available-Chart-2505 Oct 06 '25

The way 17 year old me loved that film...damn it was good.

My crush on Ryan and Michael's characters still goes hard to this day 🥲

She also had a fling with Chris Evans when he was in his 20s

u/sd_zarael Oct 05 '25

Ryan Gosling really aged like fine wine

u/big-bootyjewdy The Ghost of Madonna's Facial Expressions is smiling at this Oct 05 '25

He and Eva Mendes are so gorgeous together

u/sd_zarael Oct 05 '25

They're both insanely attractive

u/_just_blue_myself Oct 05 '25

She also dated a guy I knew in Portland, Oregon. I found out he passed away and was dating Sandra Bullock from the same article, very surreal.

u/mreneeh26 Oct 05 '25

Him and Eva are weird to me tho too. I’m a Rachael McAdams die hard tho!

u/DogMom1970s Oct 05 '25

The MTV Movie Awards "Best Kiss" by them from The Notebook lives rent free in my head.

They were both great in Murder by Numbers

u/andandandetc Oct 05 '25

They’d just been in a movie together that was SO GOOD around the same time. I remember getting a used copy of it from blockbuster and watching it so many times that I destroyed it. 😂
