We’re here to say it, while it’s not original at all, we hate Valentine’s Day. [Insert quote about holiday made by candy companies here]. But if we’re going to be #real here, mostly, Valentine’s Day (depending on how emo we’re feeling), can stir up feelings about our romantic pasts—former flames and flings, unrequited loves and those out of reach crushes we’ve long lusted after.
Since we’re petty, it makes us feel a bit better knowing that sometimes celebrities really are just like us—not in that they have our meager pay grades or non Godiva chocolate boxes—but in that they have weird af romantic pasts too. So, let’s look back at some ghosts of celebrity past—retro long hair, baggy layers and weirdo star pairings that you thought you’d forgotten (or never even knew about!). Let’s distract ourselves from our own romantic miseries and look at the old (and quite strange) flames of some of our favorite celebs.
