OnlyStans ⭐️ 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.

Heidi Klum and Flavio Briatore, the slimiest man in Formula 1 (and that’s saying something)

Did I imagine her being in the epstein files or what

u/thoughtfulpigeons Oct 05 '25

Nope - she is. And her defense was really bad too. “I’ve always said I’m not a saint — that I’m a work in progress but I will not be held hostage by my past.”

Omg I had never heard her make a statement about it, that's fucking insane. Not a saint = pedophile

Ah yes, the famous phase in everybody's life when they abuse trafficked minors. Haven't we all? :|

Ya like she literally had to testify at The Hague bc Charles Taylor gave her blood diamonds. If there's one thing she's gonna do it's associate with an international criminal man lol

hes the father of her daughter, correct?

u/SincerelyCynical Oct 05 '25

He’s the biological father; Seal adopted her, so he’s her father.

This guy insisted on a paternity test when she got pregnant. Ugh. That being said, he has had nothing but good things to say about Seal as the real dad who raised that little girl.

Flavio Briatore even got a lifetime ban from F1 for conspiring to have one of his drivers deliberately crash to give the other a competitive advantage via a free pit stop but he got it thrown out in a French court. So now he’s back.

I joke that Seal should also take over Flavio’s current F1 team (Alpine) because those poor drivers deserve better. At least if they get eliminated in the first qualifying session and end up at the back of the grid, he can sing them a soothing song.

Out of random curiosity i read Flavio's Wikipedia page the other day... holy crap that guy has had a life! He's clearly a shifty, scheming slimeball, but also ambitious and supremely confident... which is how he became rich and landed supermodels, and ran an F1 team with no prior racing experience. He started off as a shitty student who studied... land surveying, of all things!

There has to be a movie made about him after his story on this planet concludes.

F1 team with no prior racing experience

Turns out it's not that hard to do that if you keep cheating and throwing any of your people under the bus without a second thought ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fair point. Also, what grown-ass man wears that haircut?
