There are times when a dream couple has a picture perfect relationship, one that looks like it was written for a hit film. However, we know full-well that life never works out as perfect as a script. More often than not, our perfect Hollywood couples call it quits and our hearts are left in pieces. Sure, we never know what happens behind closed doors but there are just some special couples that we can’t help but miss.
Heidi Klum and Seal
You’re looking at the King and Queen of Halloween. Okay, the former King and Queen. Heidi Klum and Seal were married from 2005 to 2014 and most fans were devastated by their breakup. I mean, they renewed their vows every year! Together they have three biological children. Fingers crossed that one day they’ll get back together!

Will Arnett and Amy Poehler
If Hollywood’s funniest duo can’t make it work then what hope is there for the rest of us?! (Bit dramatic? Well that’s just how I feel.) Will Arnett and Amy Poehler were married from 2003 to 2016, although they separated in 2012. Together they have two sons, Archie and Abel.

Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley
These two were basically royalty. Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley met in 1987 while she was filming a Spanish production called Remando Al Viento. At the time, Hurley was a struggling actress and everyone just referred to her as “Hugh Grant’s girlfriend” and then his “ex-girlfriend”.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez
Doesn’t matter if you love or hate their music, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were such an adorable couple. Everyone was rooting for this on-again-off-relationship to finally last but alas it wasn’t written in the cards. Bieber is currently engaged to Hailey Baldwin, although they’ve only been dating a few weeks.

Jennifer Lopez and P. Diddy
Seriously though. Jennifer Lopez and P. Diddy were the epitome of an R’n’B match made in heaven. That was until both were involved with a shooting outside Times Square Club in New York. While Lopez was released as she had nothing to do with the crimes, Combs was charged and indicted by a Manhattan grand jury. After that, Lopez called it quits!

Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder
Talk about the ultimate 90’s couple. For three years, these two caused a media frenzy. Especially when Depp got a tattoo dedicated to his partner, “Winona Forever” it read. However after they called it quits, he changed it to “Wino Forever.” At one point they were even engaged! Sadly, they just couldn’t make it work.

Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling
Fans of The Notebook will understand just how much this one stings. After watching their timeless, authentic and tear-jerking on-screen romance, fans were overjoyed when Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling got together in real life. And for three years, we lived in bliss. Until our hearts were ripped out of our chest once again once they announced their break up in 2007.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt
Of course America’s favorite couple makes this list. The seven years that they were together was a magical time. I mean, the media frenzy alone was non-stop. And it didn’t stop once Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie became an item. Whether you were Team Aniston or Team Jolie, you can’t deny that Aniston and Pitt were a match made in heaven. Plus, seeing as how they’re both currently single, maybe there’s hope just yet.

Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon
Watching these two in Cruel Intentions made all of us weak in the knees. Especially when they became a real-life couple. Two kids later, we thought they’d be together forever. Sadly (tragically, painstakingly, and every other depressing word) they divorced in 2006, but they do remain amicable co-parents to Ava and Deacon.

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev
Look, we can’t deny that Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are the perfect couple but when Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev were an item, everyone was ecstatic. After meeting on the set of The Vampire Diaries and playing an on-screen couple, they also dated in real-life from 2010 to 2013. To this day, they’re still good friends so we guess that’s something.

Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith
If you didn’t love these two as a couple then you, sir, have no heart. Melanie Griffith fell in love with Antonio Banderas while they filmed their 1995 film Two Much. At the time, Banderas was married and the duo didn’t begin dating until his divorce was finalized. From 1996 until 2014, these two perfect people made us believe in love. Until, of course, they made all of us sob like ugly ducklings at the announcement of their separation.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette
Sure, Courteney Cox and David Arquette were an odd couple, but hey, they worked! Until they didn’t. From 1999 to 2010, these two were inseparable but unfortunately they just couldn’t make it work. “We had 15 years of a friendship and love with each other and a child together. She’s my best friend and I love her will all my heart,” said David. AWWWWWWW. Stop, my heart just can’t take it!

Channing and Jenna Tatum
Ugh, my wounds still haven’t healed. After nine years of marriage, Channing and Jenna Tatum announced their separation in April 2018. (And yes, I’m still heartbroken!) They met on the set of Step Up and also have a daughter together, Everly. I can’t say anymore without bursting into tears. I loved Channing and Jenna as a couple so much, I just don’t think my wounds will ever fully heal.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake
From matching outfits to flirtatious smiles on the red carpet, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were the pop King and Queen. For three years it seemed as though nothing could break these two apart. Clearly, we were all wrong. Reportedly Timberlake wrote “Cry Me A River” in response to Spears’ alleged infidelity.

Sarah Paulson and Cherry Jones
From 2004 to 2009, everyone followed the relationship of Sarah Paulson and Cherry Jones. The two were refreshingly honest about their romantic relationship and that’s what made them so special. In 2007, Paulson and Jones announced their love for one another during an interview with Velvetpark at Women’s Event 10 for the LGBT Center of New York. We’re still sore that they are no longer an item.

Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins
Most Hollywood couples don’t even make it past the seven year itch, but Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins seemed unbreakable. With two sons and a 23 year relationship, we fully believed in a forever love. However that all came to screeching halt when Robbins had a “midlife crisis” and within a few months, Hollywood’s unbreakable couple called it quits.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield
Now here’s a couple that completely messed with our emotions. After they broke up in 2015, they had us believing in love again as they got back together a few months later. But then they shattered our hearts once again when they broke up after six months. Apparently they “remain close and are on good terms,” so maybe the third time’s the charm?

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris
WHY?! Why are Chris Pratt and Anna Faris no longer together? That question haunts my dreams. After meeting on the set of Take Me Home Tonight in 2007, this duo became smitten with one another. I mean they eloped two years later…on a whim…after attending a friend’s wedding! Their adorable son, Jack, was born in 2012. August 2017 is when Pratt and Faris announced their separation, instantly breaking hearts worldwide.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
Now these two became friends after appearing on Pearl Harbor and Daredevil together. Two brilliant movies if you ask us! After just a year, they tied the knot and have three children together. Everyone thought they’d stand the test of time, alas 2015 rolled around and they announced their intentions to separate. We’re still clinging to the hope that these lovebirds will find their way back to one another…soon!

Katy Perry and Russell Brand
How could you not love these two together? After meeting on the set of Get Him To The Greek, their whirlwind romance kicked off. In 2010, they tied the knot in a traditional Hindu ceremony – the photos from their wedding are just too cute. Katy Perry and Russell Brand, however, called it off after 14 months as their schedules conflicted too much and Brand wanted kids sooner than she would have liked. ~sigh~
