About This Quiz
Tbh, we can't think of a better way to escape work (or school or whatever other boring thing you're doing rn) than a little trip down memory lane. For real, we're turning back the clock and examining some of Hollywood's most random couples. Seriously, you're not going to believe some of these people actually dated.
Everyone has embarrassing exes (ourselves included), but when you're famous all those relationships, you'd rather forget live on thanks to the paparazzi.

Who did Madonna only recently confirm that she dated in the early '90s? Can you name the dude Mila Kunis was in love with pre-Ashton? How about the woman who was with Ashton pre-Mila? Wait, what couple started dating after meeting on the set of Vanilla Sky?!
