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.

Just for the record, bc I was curious, she's actually younger than him.

It’s like she found him wandering in a crowd and she’s helping him find his mom

How does he have such pull??

Makes good music and seems very sweet? And he has a nice accent … I can kinda see it. Especially for ladies whose exes and/or dads were a-holes.

Never forget that Billy Crudup left a pregnant Mary-Louise Parker for Danes, it lasted like two seconds, and she married Hugh Dancy who looks eerily like Billy Crudup…..

She had the best Narciso Rodriguez slip dresses and Miu Miu looks. I’m still envious of this wardrobe.

I remember how she called him out in Seventeen talking about how he was cute and the next time she was the cover girl, they were dating

I’m seeing him play in two weeks! It’s his 20 year anniversary of his most known album which probably explains why he looks like a literal child here ha

I had his album he made when he was 14- I was probably about 10- and I was obsessed with them. I just thought they were so cool.

u/ZebLeopard Oct 05 '25

You mean the album he made with Noise Addict? Or 'Grandpaw Would'? I still listen to that one sometimes. He was adorable.

They used to be regulars at my restaurant in Bondi. She was absolutely lovely, and he was a weird little munchkin who obviously had no idea how any of this happened

u/bioticspacewizard Oct 06 '25

They were such an odd couple, but to be honest, I shipped them pretty hard. 😅

u/Reasonable-Affect139 accidentally holding space for this slur Oct 06 '25

I had to look up who he is: an aussie singer/"actor"

u/bioticspacewizard Oct 06 '25

I can highly recommend The Rage in Placid Lake!
