7 JENNIFER ANISTON: NEVER FOUND TRUE LOVE
America’s sweetheart may be one of the most sought-after women in Hollywood, but Jennifer Aniston has had a whole lot of heartbreak. The world hasn’t forgotten Jen’s humiliating ordeal with Brad Pitt and Angelina— it’s even formed a #TeamJen (and #TeamAnge). In 2000, Brad and Jen got hitched in a $1 million zen garden wedding, according to People. Fast-forward to the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Angelina was suddenly very much “in the way.”
“I don’t find it painful,” Jen told CBS about her 2005 divorce from Brad Pitt. Jennifer wanted kids with Brad, according to Vanity Fair: “I’ve never in my life said I didn’t want to have children. I did, and I do, and I will.” A childless marriage with Brad led to her second failed marriage with Justin Theroux. America’s sweetheart is still single.
Following her 2005 divorce from Brad, Jen went on to date a string of high-profile celebs. John Mayer and Vince Vaughn both had Jen as their girl (while Orlando Bloom and Owen Wilson “tried.”) In 2007, Jen met Justin Theroux on the set of a movie. It was lightning bolt love, and following a $500,000 engagement ring, the two were married at their Bel Air home. Jen really breaks out hearts. The marriage didn’t last, and at a very amazing-looking 49, Jen is back on the solo highway.
8 EMINEM: MARRIED KIM TWICE
Eminem is the walking example of rags to riches. The rap superstar started out dirt poor in a trailer park, and he went on to be the best-selling artist of the 2000’s. The Real Slim Shady has never put his name to a brand, but he’s made millions from rap battles, albums, tours, plus collaborations with Rihanna and Beyonce. The movie, 8 Mile, told the harrowing story of his rough upbringing, but it’s his lyrics that tell us about his love life. Eminem first married Kimberley Scott in 1989. They had a daughter, Hailie, together. You only need to listen to Eminem’s music to know how much he adores his daughter. His love for Kim? That’s been a little less steady.
In 2000, Eminem revealed that he’d spotted his wife Kim in an intimate moment with another man in a parking lot. Later that year, Kim tried to take her own life and the two divorced. In 2006, Kim and Eminem got married again. His Revival album track had a song, “Bad Husband,” which was dedicated to Kim.
Eminem has been very vocal about his relationship with Kim via his lyrics. Of course, Eminem’s razor-sharp wit has also meant his feuds with Christina Aguilera and Kim K have been very public. Eminem and Kim are no longer together, but Hailie is in college and doing great.
9 SCARLETT JOHANSSON: NOT A FAN OF MONOGAMY
When you’re young, beautiful, and talented, Hollywood notices you. Scarlett Johansson may only be 33, but she’s earned her place as one of Hollywood’s leading actresses from the Iron Man franchise and a ton of other movies. Whether she’s platinum blonde or red-headed, the MCU actress turns heads wherever she goes, and her dating life reflects that. Scarlett hasn’t always stuck to the A-list, especially with her marriage to the French journalist, Romain Dauriac, but she did marry one famous face, Ryan Reynolds.
Scarlett “doesn’t think it’s natural to be monogamous,” according to Vogue.”I think the idea of marriage is very romantic, it’s a beautiful idea,” she said, but it’s “a lot of work.” The Oscar-winning actress divorced Ryan Reynolds in 2011 before marrying and divorcing her second husband in 2014.
For many of us, Scarlett is an absolute icon. She’s conquered emotional roles, like Vicky Christina Barcelona (co-starring Penelope Cruz), and she’d made it onto the cast of the MCU. Scarlett has definitely rattled on about her opinions on monogamy, where she concluded: ” It’s something I have a lot of respect for and have participated in, but I think it definitely does against some instinct to look beyond.” Warning: if you marry Scarlett, prepare for someone on the side.
