Mariah Carey – Nick Cannon

Mariah Carey and budding actor Nick Cannon met when he presented her with the Choice Music R&B Artist Award at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards. He reportedly had already had a crush on her, but it took a few years to get the love bug biting. This unlikely couple met and shared french fries. “I knew she was the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with,” said Cannon. Carey, similarly, called Cannon her soulmate. They were married the same year and had twins, but couldn’t make it last. They called it quits a few years later.

Russell Brand – Katy Perry

These two lovebirds had a wonderful relationship while it lasted. They met while filming a scene for Brand’s Get Him to the Greek. They fell in love and were engaged less than four months after they started dating. They married 10 months later in October of 2010, but alas it wouldn’t last. Russell ended their relationship via text message while Perry was on tour. (Dude, no…) Perry later said, “Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011.”
