00:00 "Is it true Tom Cruise was just on? Did you date Tom Cruise?"
00:02 "Yes."
00:02 Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks
00:09 for former famous couples who may have fallen off your radar.
00:12 "There was a rumor that you once went out with Janet Jackson. Can you confirm
00:17 or deny, and how would you describe your relationship with her?"
00:21 Number 10. Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin
00:26 "You were with Macaulay for a long time, maybe nine years?"
00:29 "Seven, seven, eight years, yeah."
00:30 Former child actors Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin began their lengthy courtship in 2002.
00:35 Throughout their time together, there were long-standing rumors that the two were engaged,
00:40 and there was even speculation that they were married. However, both The Home Alone and That
00:45 '70s Show star denied these claims. "We've had an amazing relationship for over two years,
00:50 why ruin it right now?" True homebodies, Kunis opened up about their low-key lifestyle to
00:56 publications like Parade, revealing that Culkin was a skilled cook and brilliant. Eventually,
01:01 things fizzled out between the pair, and they bid adieu to their romance in 2011.
01:06 "I had a horrible breakup. I had a horrible, horrible, horrible breakup."
01:11 "Horrible in that you were very sad over it?"
01:14 "No, I f---ed up. I was an asshole in my 20s, and I'll be the first to admit it."
01:18 Number 9. Alanis Morissette and Ryan Reynolds
01:21 These two Canadian performers were once the hottest couple in the Great White North.
01:26 "Never dreamed I would have to lay down my torch for you."
01:34 Alanis Morissette and Ryan Reynolds dated between the years of 2002 and 2007. During
01:40 their relationship, the "Ironic" singer and "Deadpool" actor frequented red carpets together.
01:45 After a couple of years of dating, the two decided to take things to the next level,
01:49 and became engaged. Only a couple of years later in 2007, Morissette and Reynolds sadly split.
01:56 "These are the days."
02:00 Although they have moved on and married other people,
02:02 they still remain one of the most iconic couples of the 2000s.
02:06 "And isn't it ironic?"
02:08 Number 8. Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent
02:11 "I've dated black guys. I mean, I know I had a public relationship with one that obviously,
02:15 you know, was very public."
02:17 Blink, and you may have missed this couple's swift romance. In the 2010s, comedian Chelsea
02:23 Handler and rapper 50 Cent were an item for a very hot minute. Only having dated for a couple
02:29 of months, the pair made headlines with their surprising fling. "You know, the most serious
02:33 relationship, but he came on my show and he sent me a bunch of flowers."
02:37 Many years later, Handler has been very open about their relationship,
02:40 referring to the "Candy Shop" musician as her "favorite ex." Although their time together
02:45 was short and sweet, it seems like that didn't make their romance any less impactful.
02:50 "He was fun. He was just a sweetheart. And he was fun to be around. My friends loved
02:56 hanging out with him. I loved hanging out with him."
02:58 Number 7. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling
03:02 "You seem very particular about your appearance, Richard."
03:04 "Thanks. I like your outfit too."
03:10 After meeting on the set of their crime thriller Murder by Numbers, Sandra Bullock and Ryan
03:15 Gosling fell head over heels for each other. At the film's 2002 premiere at the Cannes
03:20 Film Festival, the two heated up the French Riviera by looking very close and affectionate
03:26 on the red carpet. "What do you want?"
03:28 For two years, the couple kept things smoking hot, but eventually it fizzled out. That being
03:40 said, Gosling referred to Bullock as one of the "greatest girlfriends of all time,"
03:45 so fans can take solace in the fact that things are good between the former flames.
03:50 "Let's just say that I'm very fortunate. And that I've been blessed in many ways."
03:55 "Must be nice being you, Richard." "I got no complaints."
04:01 Number 6. Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff
04:04 This duo kept things pretty private during their time together,
04:07 so we can't blame anyone for forgetting that they were ever a couple.
04:11 "There's no need to be anxious. We'll do fine."
04:15 "I am hardly anxious, Mother. And fine has variable definitions. Fine is unacceptable."
04:20 In the early 2010s, Star Trek's Zachary Quinto and Mindhunter's Jonathan Groff made one heck
04:28 of a handsome pair. Unfortunately, they broke up in 2013 due to their long-distance relationship.
04:34 "Look, don't stay at Denver. Come back and you can take that from someone who moves around to
04:39 constantly avoid dealing with things. It never works. But I think you know that already."
04:44 However, here is some good news for fans. In spring 2023, the pair was photographed together,
04:50 looking extremely chummy in New York City. So here is hoping a romantic reunion is on the horizon
04:56 for the two. "If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be
05:01 the truth. How poetic." Number 5. Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen
05:06 "Carol and I are gonna go dancing. We heard of a great place. Interested?"
05:12 Having met when working together on the set of the fantasy comedy Midnight in Paris,
05:17 Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen soon went from co-stars to something more.
05:22 While attending the film's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival,
05:25 the duo confirmed their romance, appearing side by side.
05:28 "You wouldn't pull any punches." "Well, I certainly won't do that. You know I won't do that."
05:32 "No. Do you know that about me?" Two years into their romance, they called it quits,
05:37 rumoured to be due to having very different ideas of what their future together looked like.
05:41 In the end, they both got there happily ever after with other partners. But no matter what,
05:46 these two will always have Paris. "I could get used to a summer home like this."
05:51 "I know you could." "Me too. Except remember that in those days,
05:55 they only had baths and I'm definitely a shower man."
05:57 Number 4. Courteney Cox and Michael Keaton "Sometimes a person will have to actually
06:04 lead a different life." "Oh my God, you're married."
06:09 "No, I'm not married." Back in the 90s, Courteney Cox and Michael
06:13 Keaton seemed like they were endgame. The Friends actress and the Beetlejuice actor
06:18 first met in the late 80s. For six years, the pair were attached at the hip.
06:22 "Oh my God. I can't believe what I'm getting ready to say."
06:27 Unfortunately, they eventually parted ways. But Cox confessed in an interview with People magazine
06:33 that they still loved one another, and called him "the most wonderful person that she's ever met."
06:39 Although the two have since moved on to new relationships, including Cox's former marriage
06:43 to David Arquette, it's nice to know that there is still a mutual respect between these exes.
06:49 "You're the most wonderful man." Number 3. Janet Jackson and Matthew McConaughey
06:55 Even though they were together for a hot second, Janet Jackson and Matthew McConaughey definitely
07:00 left an impression on one another. "When I look to my right and look over here to my left,
07:07 I gotta say this is pretty cool." Their meet-cute took place at the Grammy Awards in 2002.
07:13 However, not much is known about their companionship since the two had very opposing
07:17 stories regarding their time together. "We went and had dinner." "You had dinner?" "Yeah." "And
07:21 that was it?" "That was sort of it, yeah." Jackson confessed that they did "date," while
07:26 McConaughey denied any courtship, stating that everything was simply "platonic." Perhaps we'll
07:31 never know the truth behind their "she said, he said, speculated" romance, but at least
07:36 there appears to be no hard feelings between them. "I haven't seen him in so long." "I wanted to just..."
07:43 "We're cool like that." Number 2. Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan
07:47 "Baby I'm a man, baby I'm a lonely man, who's in the middle of something,
07:52 that he doesn't really understand." Long before he was playing Mr. Christian Grey,
07:59 Jamie Dornan was a model for brands like Abercrombie & Fitch and Armani in the early
08:04 2000s. During one of his modeling shoots, he met actress Keira Knightley. "An off you buy?"
08:09 "No, thanks." "Thank God. It would have broken my heart if you'd said yes."
08:15 The Love Actually starlet and the future Fifty Shades of Grey actor became a hot item,
08:21 and were soon photographed all over London. Both in their early 20s at the time,
08:26 the young couple dated for two years before parting ways. In 2013, Dornan and Knightley
08:31 both said "I do" but just not to each other. "Let's get out of here. I'm sick of sharing
08:36 you with the riff-raff." Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honourable mentions.
08:41 Kim Kardashian and Nick Cannon Even fans of these two celebs might forget they were an item.
08:46 Madonna and Tupac Shakur These music icons used to be hung up on each other.
09:01 Zendaya and Trevor Jackson Romance rumours followed these two screen stars for years.
09:07 Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson This couple were together for a short and sweet year.

09:36 Cher and Tom Cruise
09:40 "He was so wonderful and I was so crazy about him and he was so, like, different."
09:47 After running into each other at events like Madonna and Sean Penn's nuptials and White House
09:52 functions, Cher and, yes, Tom Cruise, turned their attraction for each other into a romance.
09:59 During the 80s, the Mission Impossible action star and the music icon did not let a 15-year age gap
10:06 divert them from pursuing a relationship. Although they weren't together for very long,
10:10 Cher admitted in an interview to Oprah that they were closer than anyone realized.
10:15 "So how much of a date was that?"
10:17 "Oh, that was a long date."
10:18 "I lived in his apartment."
10:22 Decades later, Cher also confessed to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that Cruise
10:28 was one of her best lovers.
10:30 "Well, he was in the top five."
10:33 "Really? Top five? And that's a list."
10:35 "Yeah, that's a list."
10:36 Which one of these couplings slipped your mind? Let us know in the comments.
10:41 "I've never gone out with Janet Jackson. I'll just answer that one."
