13 Celebs Who Broke Up And Got Back Together

These 13 celebrity couples have broken up and rekindled their love for better or worse.


Rock god and guitarist Slash and his wife Perla, who’ve been married for over a decade, are splitting. Does this story sound familiar? That’s because it is. The couple split before, only to get back together for several years. They’ve broken up again, with Slash filing for divorce, and things might be getting ugly as they divide assets.

Slash and his soon-to-be-ex-wife aren’t the only couple to part ways, get back together and then part again. There are several high-profile Hollywood romances — Liz and Dick, Pink and Carey, Jelena — that were/are on and off, on and off.

The relationship light switches don’t always seem healthy, but hey, who are we to judge?

As Selena Gomez says in her song that has to be about Justin Bieber: The heart wants what it wants.

Here are 13 celebrity couples that have broken up and rekindled their romances. Sadly, not all of these romance roller coasters have happy endings. The heart is a fickle organ, indeed.
