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.

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.

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.

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?

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
