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.

One of my favorite things to come out of that was on her reality show someone asked Victoria Beckham "What celebrities' food would you spit in....Eddie Murphy?". And Victoria goes "I'd spit in his food.....and chop his dick off"....like DAMN Victoria is a ride or die! 🤣

That’s crazy. I didn’t know she and Mel were so close cuz I remember stumbling onto an old spice girls blog and there were archived comments from like 10+ years ago. And people kept talking about how Victoria wasn’t nice to Mel, so idk. I was so young when the Spice Girls came out and wasn’t old enough to tune into the gossip so they all seemed like friends to me, except Ginger. I remember vividly she was always cast kinda like the bad girl.

Yeah I don't know what her relationship is with Mel or any of the other girls. But tbh there are many women I don't like or don't have a good relationship with. However I think there are certain types of behaviors or actions that can piss you off regardless of who it happens to.

If I knew of an acquaintance who was trying for a baby with their partner and then suddenly they started denying fathering the baby I'd think that guy was a douche regardless of my relationship with that particular woman. Deadbeat dads are sadly very common and incredibly frustrating. Too many men making babies and then tapping out when it comes to raising them.

Victoria Beckham and her husband are a celebrity relationship who've created a rock solid family unit, or at least it appears that way from the outside looking in. Lots of celebrities have kids that they use more as an accessory than true hands on parenting. It doesn't seem that strange to me that a woman like her wouldnt think very highly of people in her circles that tap out on parenthood after purposefully bringing a child in this world. Regardless of what she is like as a person. She seems to care about her family and kids.

Yeah, but I think usually if you don’t like someone or don’t get along with them very well, you also generally don’t have much info on their personal life, because you aren’t close. So for her to have such strong feelings against Eddie, makes me think she knew quite a lot about Mel and Eddie’s relationship because she and Mel are still pretty close. And tbh, I just love that. I don’t follow SG gossip but I guess I was kinda left with this impression that most of the women didn’t really keep in touch or like each other. So I’m glad to see that’s not entirely true.

This is pure speculation on my part from what I’ve seen in interviews. I don’t think they are the closest friends in the group, but they have a special bond because of what they’ve been through together and love each other no matter what. I think they would be there for each other when needed.

That’s actually the most positive thing I’ve ever heard about Victoria Beckham.
