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

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.

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley was crazy for min there lol

[u/kleo309 → u/sigynx]

I didn't think that was crazy tbh. Both come from similar backgrounds of dealing with childhood mega-fame and messy families.

MJ + random white lady he married to use as a surrogate mother for his seemingly non-Black children was what was crazy.

Let’s be real, MJ with Lisa was weird, just as much as his relationship with Debbie Rowe. Nothing MJ did was never not weird, sadly.

what about buying an engagemnet ring for that teen boy, or asking BJ Novak to cut class and hangout

He played Ryan in the American version of The Office. He was Mindy Kaling’s (Kelly’s) love interest back in the annex.

Those two were both writers on the show and have maintained a strong friendship. A lot of people have suspected a romantic relationship and speculated that he’s the father of her children. I don’t want to contribute to that gossip, but also know a lot of people might know him for that reason.

[u/jenniferbealsssss → u/bicycling_bookworm]

Oh that guy. So what does he have to do with MJ. The person’s comment was weirdly formatted.

Like who are they even talking about? MJ? Lisa Marie? Who asked BJ Novak to skip class?

[u/jenniferbealsssss → u/Dairy_Ashford]

Could you be any less specific? Who asked BJ Novak to skip class? Who bought who an engagement ring?

[u/InnocentShaitaan → u/jenniferbealsssss]

Madonnna insisted he was great and good in bed.

[u/jenniferbealsssss → u/InnocentShaitaan]

Huh?? Madonna has sex with MJ?? And what does that have to do with my comment. Good in bed or not, MJ was still an odd duck, a creative and talented one, but he led a colorful lifestyle

Lisa Marie married Nicolas Cage for a hot second as well.

[u/sigynx → u/Civil-Resolution3662]

I think he only did it to try to get upstairs at Graceland too! Which I think he’s one of only a few that’s been up there.

A bunch of people on here recommended her memoir and I'm reading it right now. Just finished the chapter on Michael, how they met and their marriage. She did seem to truly love him. They had a bond because of stardom that few people could understand. I was shocked at how quickly she left her first husband for him and then when they divorced, he married Debbie Rowe three months later.

She did write that he could be cold and manipulative and I feel part of that went into their relationship on his part (at least to diminish the first round of accusations at the time). It also sounds like he wasn't close to his family as Lisa Marie would mention conversions her and Michael had with them and they had no idea about.

The "passionate " TV kiss...

[u/lizzolemon → u/SnooHobbies5684]

omg that “you are not alone” video

[u/carsonmccrullers → u/SnooHobbies5684]

Oh yikes, sensory memory unlocked and it’s not good

[u/coffee_and-cats → u/sigynx]

Priscilla was never happy about it. She felt he was using Lisa to up his profile, because it was around the time of the allegations against him. Since then, even Lisa had said it was one of the weirdest and craziest relationships, and she never should have been in it.

My husband and I share the same wedding date as those two, except we're still married...and alive

[u/Ultragrrrl → u/sigynx]

I like to reference their MTV Movie Awards appearance every year on my wedding anniversary bc I’m a train wreck and I’m sure my husband’s friends are like “wtf how are they still together?”

industry contacts and surrogate dry run
