They say, "you don't know what you got until it's gone," and according to these celebrities, you either don't know until it is gone, or when it is, you say adios for good. Some celebrities have begged to win back their beloveds' hearts while others closed the door for good. Whether they beg for forgiveness from their ex or toss them like a salad, these celebrities prove to us that a relationship could end in either regret or satisfaction.
What is easy to believe is that most celeb relationships are like the fairytale we all wish for, however, being in the spotlight leads to more bumps in the road than we suppose.
There are some celeb couples, like Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, that we spend hours hoping and praying will get back together, but the path to the altar is not always easy after the relationship has already been torn apart. Then again, there are many celeb couples that we are so relieved and thrilled are no longer together. Sometimes, though, celebrities, who are human and make mistakes like the rest of us, desperately plea for their ex back; the only difference is, their begging is usually publicly seen and sometimes even humiliating. Think of all the heartbreak songs we've witnessed since the dawn of time; those all come from pain, and a lot of them are singing for their loved one to come back or saying farewell. Evidently, no matter the situation, breaking up is hard to do. Now, let us look at those who desperately followed their hearts and those who handled a break up with dignity by saying bye for always.
Tiger Woods Begged For Elin Nordegren Back
If there is one man who is known to get many hole-in-ones, both professionally and privately, it's Tiger Woods. When the scandal broke and the world and his wife Elin Nordegren found out about his cheating ways and multiple affairs, his wife didn't hesitate to divorce him. Woods tried to convince his children's mother to forgive him by entering rehab for s*x addiction and admitting he would consent to a post-nuptial agreement with a $350 million anti-cheating clause, but that desperation was not enough. Nordegren got a $100 million from the divorce and Woods has to live the rest of his life in shame.
Rita Ora Said Sayonara To Rob Kardashian
How Rob Kardashian initially won over the drop-dead gorgeous pop star Rita Ora is beyond our comprehension, but thankfully for her, she got rid of the annoying reality star for good.
And since Rob is not so swell in the love department, as he exposed ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna, Ora is lucky to have ran while she could.
Ora was aware of the issues and problems that he had with Chyna, but Ora gave it a shot. However, not so long after, Ora took a one-way ticket out of there when Rob carried on his unsettled issues with Chyna into his and Ora's relationship. He built his own road to disaster with Ora, and in the end, she called it quits and said: "Rob's d*** was wack, I had to get it somewhere else."
Chris Brown Begged For Karrueche Tran Back
Some male celebrities think they can get away with their behaviour because they are A-listers, but at a certain point, the straw on the camel's back breaks for the other party involved. We know Chris Brown does not have the best reputation as a boyfriend, but he is definitely an expert in begging. On Instagram, Brown posted,
“Being young and dumb is one of my strong suits and emotional at best” and “I love hard and react impulsively when I’m hurt at times."
While he was in prison, he was already dating Karrueche Tran, and upon his release, the relationship was a bumpy ride. The relationship was on and off again and each time, Brown was begging and pleading for Tran to reconsider, but she ultimately had enough. His nonstop texting and apologizing through text was not enough for Tran to get back on the horse, especially when she found out he was having a baby girl with someone else.
Justin Timberlake Said Sayonara To Britney Spears
The two pop stars, who once upon a time met as child stars at Disney's Mickey Mouse Club; Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears did not have an innocent and painless relationship. And though this breakup occurred a while ago, everybody remembers their relationship and the way JT reacted afterwards. Their relationship did not end like a happily-ever-after fairytale one would have predicted, but instead in an in-your-face song called "Cry Me a River," when JT sang to the world about Spears doing the nasty with someone else.
This hit track showcased the pain that JT was going through after finding out his childhood sweetheart betrayed him,
but it also showed the world that he knew he was better off without her — he has avoided her ever since.
Hayden Christensen Begged For Rachel Bilson Back
If you want The O.C. star Rachel Bilson to even consider taking you back in her life, you better be ready to beg on your hands and knees because that woman is not having any of it. Hayden Christensen, who is the father of Bilson's child, got dumped by Bilson who no longer believed in their relationship. However, the baby daddy thought differently and has been begging for reconciliation with Bilson to no avail. The couple spent 10 years together, but they were constant conflicts between the two. This is a fresh breakup, one that happened over the holidays, and sources revealed during that time,
"He was apologizing to Rachel non-stop and trying to convince her they should fight to keep their family together.”
Though Christensen would not give up without a fight, Bilson admitted she would let him suffer for the pain he caused.
Chad Michael Murray And Sophia Bush Both Said Sayonara
Imagine being a celebrity and going through a breakup with millions of people knowing about it; the pressure is real. And it's an even tougher breakup when the couple was a fan-favourite in real life and on a hit sitcom like One Tree Hill. Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush, who were once our favourite wed couple and had a marriage that lasted a mere five months, both said sayonara to each other permanently once the papers were filed. This couple could not have been dreamier, but surprisingly, the blue-eyed actor, after the breakup, could not even stand her company. Both stars called it quits and never went back to one another to reconcile, and the two stars we fell in love with on One Tree Hill admitted they detest each other. And it was especially hard for Murray to work with Bush on set for another five years.
Chad Johnson Begged For Evelyn Lozada Back
Some of us are very skeptical about reality television, pinning it as fake and a bunch of hocus-pocus, but there is one relationship that we saw blossom on live TV and that was the one between Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and Evelyn Lozada. One would think that their story was satirical since their relationship that was publicly displayed on live television was a complete tragedy and mess. The couple's lavish marriage that was filmed in Sint Maarten did not even air because one month later, Lozada got a soccer-style head-butt from then-husband Johnson when she confronted him about condoms she found lingering.
Lozada filed for divorce and Johnson took begging to the next level — he proved his "forever" love for her by getting a tattoo of her face on his calf.
Johnson got it all wrong — usually the couple tattoos come before a divorce is filed.
Madonna Said Sayonara To Guy Ritchie
If there is anyone that can make a statement in Hollywood, it's Queen Madge. Madonna was married to former husband Guy Ritchie for eight years before the Queen of Pop decided her marriage was no longer "Vogue."
The couple have two sons together and the custody battle for their son Rocco was the only time she granted her ex-husband with her presence.
These two took abhorrence to another level; they both have constantly loathed one another publicly without remorse. Madonna is a girl boss, and it does not take much for her to say au revoir, flip the finger, and write a song about it. Madonna says she dedicated many songs to her "emotionally retarded" ex-husband — and we all know Madonna shows no shame.
Lamar Odom Begged For Khloé Kardashian Back
Some men, like Lamar Odom, think a woman will twiddle her thumbs and just wait around for a man to settle down and get serious. The former NBA player who was married to the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Khloé Kardashian, lasted four years with the “love of his life." Unfortunately, that marriage was based on cheating allegations and drug abuse. After the divorce and his month-long stint in rehab, the former Lakers star must have been hallucinating when he kept on candidly revealing to the public that
he believes Khloé "will always be [his] wife, and will love her no matter what."
That is a lot of hope to have when his estranged ex-wife kept on confirming with him she has moved on with her new beau. Props to Odom for remaining optimistic, but he really did break her heart.
Bella Hadid And The Weeknd Both Said Sayonara
Just because Hollywood packages love like this beautiful and perfect thing, making it seem like all celebrity relationships are fabricated in la la land, just like the real world, they do not always have happy endings. And though some say goodbye for always, some of the relationships in Hollywood do end decently, like Bella Hadid and The Weeknd's. The two fan-favorites dated for two consecutive years before ending their relationship and moving on almost immediately. When The Weeknd was scheduled to perform at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and Hadid was strutting her stuff on the runway, there was no awkwardness involved because the two had let bygones be bygones quickly.
And when that is the case, it makes saying goodbye to an ex for good as easy as 1,2,3.
Also, The Weeknd bounced back on his feet and pursued Selena Gomez almost instantly.
Burt Reynolds Begged For Sally Field Back
And then there are some men who just never give up on a possible reconciliation with the woman they let go, like Burt Reynolds. Some, like Reynolds, believe that they only have one true love in life, despite the mess ups with that one love.
For Reynolds, after three decades, the hardest part of the night is staying alive and going to bed without his ex-girlfriend Sally Field, the woman that he claims is the "one that got away."
Talk about a real-life Romeo — Reynolds has declared his love for her out loud and proudly, with a hole in his heart, to many magazines, like Vanity Fair. On the pages, the world can read his endless devotion to his ex-girlfriend, claiming that she is the "love of his life" and that still after three decades, he "misses her terribly." Field never caved in and admits without agony that she is aware that she is the one that got away.
Amber Rose Said Sayonara To Kanye West
Before Kanye West and Kim Kardashian existed, it was all about Mr. West and the dashing and curvy boss lady Amber Rose. Their relationship, along with their breakup, was a roller coaster ride that was once up so high and then came down at an exasperating speed. This couple got just about as much wave time as the now-wedded Mr. and Mrs. West; they were that big.
However, when the couple had broken up, both went their separate ways and did not hear from each other until 3 years later because Rose was thrilled to have finally flushed the home wrecker down the toilet.
Yeezy should have known better than to mess with Rose; once that head strong chick says goodbye and you bite back, you're done for good. Rose once said about her ex: “I was never in love with Kanye West, and I could give two f***s what he said.”
Kobe Bryant Begged For Vanessa Bryant Back
There are some things that money cannot buy, even in Hollywood, and one of them is love. Kobe Bryant, who had always been a Hollywood heavyweight because of his awesome reputation, had that torn away from him when he was accused of assault. When these accusations were made public and Bryant confirmed the allegations, he was still married to Vanessa Laine. Following the matter, Vanessa was left devastated and heartbroken, but did not immediately leave her man, as she fought to make the marriage work.
Before saying sayonara, Bryant thought he could declare his love for his babies’ mamma by purchasing an 8-carat diamond ring worth $4 million as a gift of apology for her; and she bought it.
However, she later filed for divorce when cheating came between them again. Bryant did not buy her another apology ring, but he begged until things got patched up.
Taylor Swift Said Sayonara To All Her Exes
Who else has had more success and more pleasure penning songs about her exes other than Taylor Swift? Absolutely no one. Over the years, the influences behind her songs have been her A-list exes like Calvin Harris, Harry Styles, John Mayer, and Jacob Gyllenhaal, which proves that she easily mummers sayonara to all her exes. However, with the variety of men that she has been with, there is one that she was never shy about dissing openly and that was John Mayer.
Just like the way Mayer was reputed for bashing his former love interests, Swift decided that she would publicly humiliate him through her song "Dear John."
Though Swift moved on for good, Mayer still seems to be sour over the whole breakup as he recently threw shade on her newest hit "Look What You Made Me Do." And Swift won't have any of it!
Brad Pitt Begged For Jennifer Aniston Back
What do you do when you have one of the hottest woman in the world as your wife? Run back to your even hotter ex-wife of course. Back in 2005, Brad Pitt ended his four-and-a-half-year marriage with the Friends bombshell Jennifer Aniston because he fell in love with the seductive Angelina Jolie.
And now that Jolie and Pitt are separated, and Aniston is a single woman, we are all hoping for a fairytale ending for the two.
And, to our surprise, things are starting off right. Late last October, apparently, Pitt ran back to his ex-wife, stringing her in by asking her to be friends and begging for her back in his life. The actor always felt remorse for what he did to his ex-wife, but now, more than ever, Pitt needed Aniston to lean on and confide in. We hope that the Friends star and Pitt become more than friends…again.
Katy Perry And Russell Brand Both Said Sayonara For Good
Once upon a time, not so long ago, Katy Perry was married to comedian Russell Brand — if you forgot that they once exchanged vows, do not worry, so did Ellen DeGeneres. The dissolution of their 14-month marriage left Perry alone and not in contact with her ex-husband for months, but Perry never looked back on their marriage and never regretted it.
Though Brand, who is known to have a big mouth, had a few bad things to say about his ex, Perry was much more mature about.
We have also heard Brand discuss the reasons for the demise of the marriage way more than Perry has, because when it was done for her, it was over for good. The marriage between the two that fell apart so quickly after their nuptials led to an amicable divorce and Perry in John Mayer's arms. However, it seems like she's with Orlando Bloom these days.
Tyrese Gibson Begged For Norma Mitchell Back
Singer and actor Tyrese Gibson is known for being very up front with his fans and the world through social media lately, so one could only imagine how Gibson would beg for his ex Norma Mitchell back. Like we have mentioned, many singers share their regret and heart break through their songs, and Gibson went all the way with this one. He evidently thought that writing songs about her and sharing it with the world would secure him a place in the “second chances” club. Gibson, like Robin Thicke, wrote an entire album by himself, titled Black Rose, that he dedicated to his ex after ten months of separation. Gibson was honestly ashamed about the split, saying:
"I’ve been doing interviews trying to figure out what can I say and do to get her to come back. I’m ashamed."
The album however, was not enough to make his ex crawl back.
Jennifer Lawrence Said Sayonara To Darren Aronofsky
If there is any star in Hollywood that is able to get back up and make a joke of anything, even through sadness, it's J.Law, evidently.
The actress, who had a very private relationship with Mother! director Darren Aronofsky, split right before Thanksgiving last year, and the actress was reportedly devastated at the time.
Despite their 22-year age difference, because we all know Lawrence could not care less what people think of her, their relationship continuously blossomed, until the two agreed on a cordial split. And Lawrence did admit that she was really sad about losing him, expressing her grief to best friend Amy Schumer who thought it funny to send he friend flowers with a note that said, "I’m so sorry to hear you’re gonna die alone. Love, Amy.” However, we all know how fierce J.Law is, and she admitted to sources that that relationship is "nothing but the past."
Justin Bieber Begged For Selena Gomez Back
The Biebs, who lost his "Baby" Selena Gomez a couple times, has often expressed his sorrow and grieving pain over his ex-girlfriend and fellow singer through his music.
The singer that we saw grow up in front of our very eyes, has also always used social media to declare his love for her and woo the starlet by posting nostalgic pictures of them in the past with captions like, "Most elegant princess in the world.”
After the breakup came Bieber's album Purpose, which should have been titled ‘forgiveness’ because practically the entire album, with tracks like "Sorry," is a plea for forgiveness from Bieber to Gomez. His apologetic tracks were all referenced to her and there was no hiding the matter of the fact that Biebs was longing for his first true love. And it was not kept a secret that Biebs was always sending texts to Gomez in hopes of "what if."
Paula Patton Said Sayonara To Robin Thicke
Some men forget that the world of the rich and the famous is all a blur, like the "Blurred Lines" singer Robin Thicke, who fell victim to the Hollywood relationship curse. Some men, like Thicke, also forget that they can look, but it does not mean they can touch; especially when they're married to a bombshell like Paula Patton. After Thicke reached the height of his career releasing "Blurred Lines" and surrounded with a clan of beautiful and topless women, Patton filed for divorce from her 21-year marriage. Thicke changed the game of shamelessly begging for his ex-wife back through his music (like many artists do), by instead, devoting an entire album titled Paula, with a bunch of weepy and emotional pleas. Patton was unimpressed.
