Celebrity Couples are just like average couples as some couples (famous or not) decide to break up and get back together too. This is called an “On-Again, Off-Again” Relationship and the term is often used to describe a romantic relationship between a couple who keeps breaking up only to reconcile, thus getting back together again.
Some on-again, off-again couples get back together and break up more than or only one time. On-again, off-again relationships can be either great as some pairs have finally worked out their differences and realized they are meant to be; or can be toxic, especially for one’s mental health.
Given how much they are in the spotlight due to fame, the relationships of celebrity couples have been well documented and followed by both the media and the public. Some of the celebrity couples on this list are still an item and/or no longer together.
Listed below are 10 Notable On-Again, Off-Again Celebrity Couples:
