Kristen Stewart: An Eclipse of Judgment

Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson never confirmed their long-term romance — that is, until July 2012, when the actress, was caught kissing her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. Issuing an apology for her “momentary indiscretion,” she proclaimed her feelings for R-Patz, saying, “I love him, I love him.” They reconciled, but split for good in 2013. She wed Dylan Meyer in April 2025.

Julia Roberts: Real Life Runaway

Years before starring in Runaway Bride, Julia Roberts was one: The Oscar winner and Flatliners costar Kiefer Sutherland allegedly had a huge wedding planned for June 1991, but she ended things three days before and flew to Ireland with his close pal Jason Patric. “You fall in love, there’s nothing you can do about that,” Kiefer told the “Inside of You” podcast, adding everyone has since moved on. During a The Jess Cagle Interview appearance, the 24 star even admired the “courage” it took for Julia to call things off!

Meg Ryan: Not So Sweet

In 2000, Meg Ryan shocked the world when she was seemingly caught stepping out on Dennis Quaid with Russell Crowe. Fans couldn’t believe America’s Sweetheart would do such a thing, but Meg later claimed to InStyle that now-ex Dennis had been unfaithful for years. His response to the accusation? “I find it unbelievable that Meg continues publicly to rehash and rewrite the story of our relationship,” Dennis told The New York Daily News.

In April 2025, Claire Danes and Billy Crudup shared a warm embrace at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts gala, 18 years after ending their scandalous relationship. Their nearly four-year romance began in 2003, when Billy left partner Mary-Louise Parker — who was seven months pregnant with their son at the time — for his Stage Beauty costar. “I was just in love with him, and needed to explore that, and I was 24,” Claire told Howard Stern.
