When two stars come together, it creates a media frenzy and the world eagerly watches their relationship. However, celebrity unions often fall under the so-called "Hollywood curse" and do not last long. And some of them now want to forget about their previous failed romances forever. But we decided to remember which celebrities had relationships in the past with their colleagues and why they ended in failure.

Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez's dating life has indeed been a subject of interest, with on-and-off relationships involving Justin Bieber and The Weeknd. However, prior to her involvement with either of these singers, Gomez dated fellow Disney actor and boyband member Nick Jonas. Their relationship coincided with the release of the Jonas Brothers' single Burnin Up, which achieved significant success as their first top five hit in the United States. Gomez even made an appearance in the music video for the song, adding an extra layer of connection between her and Nick Jonas during that time.

Ryan Gosling and Sandra Bullock

In 2011, speculations arose about a potential romantic involvement between Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, but it wouldn't have been the first time Sandra had a Ryan in her life. Back in 2002, the actress, known for her role in Miss Congeniality, was in a relationship with actor Ryan Gosling. Their one-year romance gained significant media attention when it became public knowledge, primarily due to their prominent status in Hollywood. However, it was their notable age gap of 16 years that particularly intrigued the media and sparked conversations.

Reflecting on their time together in her book Watch Me: A Memoir, Huston wrote, “Paternally, he would call us 'my people.' At the time, the generalization bothered me; I wanted to feel special and retain my individual identity. 'Where are my people?' I wondered. But with Jack, there was a strong sense of being part of his team. And being on his team was a positive experience; it was a formidable team to belong to.”
