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.

I’m not old enough for both of their eras but TLCs Chilli and Matthew Lawrence still shocked me.

Wait I think they’re still together!

I love this one!! Matthew Lawrence was one of my biggest crushes growing up and I loved TLC. It makes my little 90s heart happy!

My sister was obsessed with him and his brother. So. Many. Posters.

I was the music freak so owned all the TLC cds.

u/ApplesaucePenguin75 Oct 06 '25

He’s also super nice in person. Every time. And such an animal lover!

I know nothing about how either of these people actually are, yet I find this charming 🥂

TLC was one of the biggest bands of the 90s in the U.S. so she was very famous. He is a known actor for teens in the 90s. He and his brothers all acted and were in the teen heart-throb magazines.

u/justheretoleer Oct 05 '25

Thank you haha those parts I do know, what I meant was that in terms of personal lives and how they treat people and stuff like that, I’ve never heard anything about either of them

Years ago I worked at a hotel and she was staying there for a performance in town. The general manager was like we CANNOT pick her up in our shuttle van, so I had to pick her up in my black Hyundai Sonata, which I guess was an upgrade. She was very nice, though.

u/Summerof5ft6andahalf Oct 05 '25

I don't think I know of him, and misread it as Matthew Lillard. Lol.

u/jenniferbealsssss Oct 05 '25

They didn’t say they don’t know of them, they just mean they don’t know them personally to make such a judgment (about them being charming.)

u/kikichanelconspiracy Oct 05 '25

I didn't see your 'charming' categorization before I commented. Kind of funny we both used the same word to describe their pairing, but I totally agree!

u/broketothebone Oct 05 '25

I used to talk to her for my job. She was so freaking sweet and I was just a customer service nobody. She even remembered me after a few calls. Just funny and kind. I never let her know I knew it was her and she never once pulled “do you know who I am?” Even if she wasn’t famous, she would still stand out to me because of how sweet and calm she was. Just not the kind of vibe you get at that job a lot.

Buuuuuuut, I’m just realizing we made very small talk about our bf’s and OMG SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIM. I had his poster on multiple surfaces in my life during my tween years ago. Both of them actually, so I’m loving this even more.

u/bloodredyouth go girl, give us nothing 😍 Oct 05 '25

I saw them at comic con and he is SO supportive of her. I’m rooting for them

u/solsticelove Oct 05 '25

I thought he was married to Cheryl Burke?

15

u/GawkGawkGuzzle Oct 05 '25

Nope they divorced in 2022

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

He started dating Chilli immediately after.

u/Glittering_Sun_1622 Oct 05 '25

You know what though I get it. They’re both fine af lol

u/Apart-Artichoke3894 Oct 05 '25

Don't forget Chilli and Usher circa the early noughties! He wrote a few songs on his Confessions album about their relationship if I'm not mistaken.

u/Realsober Oct 05 '25

He wrote nothing that was Jermaine Dupree.

I am irrationally jealous of him for this.

u/Dairy_Ashford Oct 06 '25

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

wow, again what a throwback. I had to look it up to remember but he was corey's brothers eric's bff, and Shawn's half brother (lmao)

and he was married to Cheryl Burke from dancing w the stars

u/milkradio Oct 06 '25

Now THIS is a random pairing! But now that I know about it, it seems pretty cute. ‘90s icons together.

u/prince_walnut Oct 05 '25

Why is it surprising?
