12. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe
Not only did the world fall in love with them in Cruel Intentions, but during that time, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe fell in love with each other. 2006 was a great year for Witherspoon, she won the Academy Award for best actress for her memorable performance in Walk the Line. However, just a few months later, her world came crashing down.
In 2007, the couple’s eight-year marriage came to an end in a tabloid frenzy. Witherspoon opened up and said “It’s very humiliating and very isolating…But, by the way, if it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the right decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions.”
Although Witherspoon must have had some embarrassment after her husband’s infidelity became public knowledge, she decided to keep a relationship with her ex. The two remain close for the sake of their children and have both moved on from one another in a romantic sense. In 2015, Witherspoon married her agent Jim Toth and she seems happier than ever.
