The American supermodel and British singer-songwriter-turned-actor dated on and off throughout the 2010s, but are now just friends. The two showed off their cordial relationship in this segment of The Late Late Show (which also made cheeky references to their relationship) when Styles was a guest host.

Jenner isn’t the only one who’s been linked to Styles over the past few years. Taylor Swift, who has quite the list of famous exes of her own, dated Styles for a few months around 2011-2012 and reportedly wrote a few songs about him, too. But a recent link-up at the 2023 Grammy Awards suggests the two have put their romantic past behind them.

There’s no doubt this celebrity coupling drove most of the web traffic for a number of celebrity gossip sites and tabloids throughout the 2010s. It’s almost too much to try and count the number of song references written about one another and the amount of Instagram posts which have since been deleted. While the two started dating as early as their late teens, their eight-year on-off again relationship simply wasn’t enough to stand the test of time. Not long after their final breakup, Bieber married model Hailey Baldwin, and the rest is history.

Hilary Duff shot to superstardom with the launch of Disney Channel’s Lizzie McGuire back in 2001, when she also confirmed her relationship with fellow teen idol Aaron Carter. The two dated on and off for three years, and after the singer’s untimely death in 2022, Duff took to Instagram to post a sweet tribute to her former boyfriend.

These two ’90s icons got married in the year 2000, only to break up in a highly-publicised divorce five years later. During the divorce proceedings, media outlets began reporting on Pitt’s involvement with Mr. And Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie, whom he would later marry nearly ten years later (that relationship ultimately ended up in divorce, as well).

Partially thanks to their iconic double denim look at the 2001 American Music Awards, Spears and Timberlake have gone down in history as one of the most iconic celebrity couples of the 2000s. But in case you forgot, their breakup was one of the messiest celebrity splits in recent memory, too; Timberlake’s song “Cry Me A River” accuses Spears of cheating on him, kicking off a slew of negative publicity about Spears which would follow her for the rest of her life – a subject further explored in the documentary Framing Britney Spears.
