00:00Even the strongest of Hollywood couples have difficulty surviving the spotlight, but these
00:04couples may have been acting on and off our screens.
00:08Check out these celebrity relationships that were completely fake!
00:12Around the time Man of Steel came out in 2013, actor Henry Cavill started dating Kaley Cuoco.
00:17Their brief relationship had plenty of middle school PDA and visits to a popular L.A. farmers
00:22market where the paparazzi notoriously hang out.
00:25According to Cuoco, though, she just couldn't believe all the attention she was getting.
00:28She told Cosmopolitan,
00:29I had no one following me until I met Superman.
00:32There had not been one paparazzi photo of me until like seven months ago.
00:36Their highly-publicized fling lasted only weeks, and adding fuel to the just-for-PR fire, was
00:41the fact that Cuoco and Cavill were both represented by the same public relations firm.
00:45Sure, that's not so unusual in Hollywood, but Cuoco's faster-than-a-speeding-bullet approach
00:50to love is, considering she immediately moved on to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting and married
00:54him three months later.
00:56That union has since gone kaput, and Cuoco has already remarried.
01:00As of June 2018, her new hubby is professional equestrian Carl Cook, according to Women's
01:05Health.
01:06Reality mogul Kim Kardashian has become more and more of a mainstream celeb over the years,
01:10but there was a time when everything she did had a strong air of publicity stunt to it.
01:15There was perhaps no bigger example than her suspiciously brief marriage to basketball
01:18pro Chris Humphries.
01:20Not only was their wedding captured, of course, in a grand televised spectacle in August 2011,
01:25but the union hit the bricks just 72 days after the vows.
01:29According to People magazine, in a reaction statement after the divorce news broke, Humphries
01:33said,
01:34Sounds like at least one of them bought into the whole fairytale wedding storyline.
01:41Kardashian, on the other hand, seemed to have the drama planned accordingly.
01:45With her marriage on the skids and all of it already captured on the yet-to-be-aired season
01:48six of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she told People magazine,
01:51It will probably be the best season yet.
01:54Maybe the perpetual self-promoter was trying to make the best out of a bad situation, or
01:58maybe she married a guy on TV to boost her show's ratings and reportedly make $2 million
02:03on the whole thing?
02:04It's so lame.
02:05Come on.
02:06It's not.
02:07Trust me.
02:08It's not.
02:09Action star Tom Cruise didn't even have to dent Oprah's couch for people to question his
02:13marriage to Katie Holmes, although his talk show Tomfoolery certainly didn't help matters.
02:18Cruise and Holmes dated for just two months before he proposed at the top of the Eiffel
02:21Tower.
02:22But Cruise wasn't the only one prone to excessive displays and infatuation, which, let's be honest,
02:26are usually a cover-up for something.
02:28In a bizarre W magazine interview soon after their engagement, Holmes gushed,
02:32"...Tom is the most incredible man.
02:35He's so generous and kind, and he helps so many people.
02:37And, um, he makes me laugh like I've never laughed.
02:40And he's a great friend."
02:41Tomcat split after six years, which some speculated was actually the term of a marriage contract
02:46that included bonuses for Holmes if she had more kids.
02:49Not exactly the kind of fairytale romance we were supposed to believe.
02:52In the three-year marriage, Michael Jackson and his dermatologist's nurse, Debbie Rowe,
02:57had two kids together.
02:58The marriage ended with her handing over full custodial rights in exchange for a Beverly
03:02Hills mansion and a huge chunk of change.
03:05Rowe actually told ABC News that she only wanted to bear the King of Pop's children
03:09as a gift to him.
03:10In the hearings when Rowe relinquished custody of both kids, she also said,
03:13"...I did it for him to become a father, not for me to become a mother.
03:17You earn the title, parent.
03:18I have done absolutely nothing to earn that title."
03:21So she literally couldn't have been more open about this faux love affair.
03:24If she was basically just being paid as a surrogate, why go through the charade of getting
03:28married, right?
03:29To try to prevent some of the taboo, you know, if you have a child out of wedlock, you know,
03:36the kids were gonna have it hard enough as it was.
03:38Coming off the heels of her ugly separation from Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston found herself
03:42conveniently in the arms of her co-star from the breakup, Vince Vaughn, and just in time
03:47to promote their movie.
03:48Curiously, they took forever to confirm their relationship and somehow managed to keep a
03:52super low public profile despite being two of the biggest stars in the business.
03:56Long after the relationship ended, Vaughn told Playboy,
03:59"...for me personally, and I think most well-known actors who are together feel this way, I never
04:03enjoyed the paparazzi side of it.
04:05You like someone and you're spending time with them.
04:07That's separate and that was all fine."
04:08Not the most passionate description of dating Jennifer Aniston.
04:11They called it quits after a year or in industry terms, just until the rental and DVD sales started
04:16to dip.
04:17Songstress Taylor Swift's reputation for ex-shaming in her lyrics is legendary.
04:22But perhaps Swift's most laughably transparent relationship was with actor Tom Hiddleston.
04:28According to The Atlantic, a lot of people speculated the whole thing was part of Hiddleston's
04:31attempt to raise his profile enough to be considered for the role of James Bond.
04:35Though their split after three months was said to be amicable, we're honestly shocked
04:39it didn't result in another Billboard heartbreak chart topper.
04:42"...I was really worried for… mainly for him."
04:45According to People magazine, Blac Chyna tried to trademark the name Angela Renee Kardashian
04:50to use while working in entertainment soon after she and Rob Kardashian hooked up.
04:54Then the duo quickly spun their romance into a reality show, so the whiff of shenanigans
04:58shrouding this love affair was strong.
05:00"...Why are you yelling, you psycho?
05:02What's wrong with you?"
05:03"...Cuz it's aggravating!"
05:05After giving birth to their daughter, Chyna reportedly bolted from the house she and Kardashian
05:09lived in, only to chalk the whole thing up to her Instagram getting hacked.
05:12That brings us full circle to the absolute nightmare of abuse accusations and legal drama
05:17that marked their painfully awkward breakup.
05:19"...I would like to first and foremost thank the judge for granting me this restraining
05:23order."
05:23Real or fake, the whole thing made for drama that was the stuff of reality TV producers'
05:28dreams, which we feel like says it all.
05:31Was it a hot fling, or just one giant internet troll?
05:34That's what people are still wondering about Drake and Jennifer Lopez's alleged hookup, which,
05:38according to People, reportedly lasted only a few months, from late 2016 to early 2017.
05:44Later, when Lopez confirmed she was making music with Drake, people began to roll their eyes.
05:48Lopez continued to play coy through February 2017.
05:51"...That moment, what was happening?"
05:53"...We were just hanging out."
05:55"...I hang out with a lot of friends, and we never hang out like that."
06:00But by March 2017, she had apparently had enough.
06:02"...Let me clear this up, I am not with Drake, okay?
06:07I'm not with Drake."
06:09"...YES!"
06:11So why did Lopez finally decide to put this rumor to bed?
06:14People reported that Lopez was linked to New York Yankees icon Alex Rodriguez, who she was
06:19still dating as of October 2018, the day after The Daily Show interview aired.
06:24Maybe it was because they always looked so miserable on the red carpet.
06:28Maybe it was because they were the stars of the biggest movie franchise in years.
06:31Whatever the case, tabloids speculated for years that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's
06:36relationship was nothing more than great PR for the uber-successful Twilight Saga movies.
06:41Pattinson laughed off the suggestion to The Washington Post in 2012, the year the franchise
06:46ended, saying,
06:47"...My relationship with Stewart would be a terrible marketing tool, and it's not utilized
06:50very well at all."
06:51"...I get into it to do movies.
06:53I mean, I've never been interested in trying to settle my personal life, and that's really
06:58the only reason people bring it up."
06:59That same year, Stewart was caught cheating on Pattinson with her married Snow White and the
07:02Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, according to People magazine.
07:06Curiously, one of Pattinson's only public remarks about the infidelity was,
07:10"...it happens, you know?
07:11It's just young people, it's normal, and honestly, who gives a f—?"
07:15Perhaps even more curiously, Stewart looked back on everything with even more dubious sentiment,
07:19telling T Magazine in 2016,
07:21"...People wanted me and Rob to be together so badly that our relationship was made into
07:25a product.
07:26It wasn't real life anymore.
07:28And that was gross to me."
07:29Of all the random celebrity hookups over the years, few have raised more eyebrows than
07:34Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney, who eloped suddenly in May 2005, only to divorce a few
07:39months later, when Zellweger cited the now-infamous fraud in her divorce papers.
07:43In a statement to People, Zellweger quickly clarified that, quote,
07:46"...the term fraud, as listed in the documentation, is simply legal language and not a reflection
07:51of Kenny's character."
07:52Still, that didn't stop the tabloids from wondering whether that confirmed the rumors that
07:56Chesney was actually gay.
07:58"...The only fraud that was committed was me thinking that I knew what it was like,
08:02that I really understood what it was like to be married, and I really didn't."
08:05Speaking to the advocate in 2016, Zellweger revealed that the gossip made her very upset
08:10for Chesney, saying,
08:11"...it made me sad that somehow people were using that as a way to be cruel and calling
08:15someone gay as a pejorative, which has fateful consequences."
08:18And yet, she also admitted she, quote,
08:20"...forgot about that,"
08:21reigniting speculation that the whole marriage was indeed a fraud.
08:24Young love can be complicated, especially when one person is coming to grips with their
08:29sexuality.
08:30Enter Lance Bass and Daniel Fischel.
08:32While the two dated for about a year, attended Fischel's prom together and said I love you
08:36to each other, even Bass admitted their relationship became a sign that he needed to come out of
08:40the closet.
08:41Recalling his decision not to take Fischel's virginity on Valentine's Day because he didn't
08:45want to end up hurting her, Bass told Tyra Banks,
08:47"...because I knew, I knew I was gay, and I knew, you know, and to me, I loved her, you
08:52know, as much as I knew what love was, this is what love was."
08:55In a sea of depressing sham relationships, Bass' description of his love for Fischel makes
08:59us a rare, bright spot.
09:01Even better, Bass, who came out as gay in 2006, remained close friends with Fischel.
