The following celebrity couples said I Do… to the idea of getting married.
But they never said I Do during any kind of marriage ceremony because they called off their engagement before ever walking down the aisle.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Remember the original Bennifer?!? They got engaged in November 2002 and then called off their wedding justf four days before it was scheduled to take place in September of 2003.
Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow
Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow dated for two years… got engaged in December of 1996… and were broken up six months later.
Sean Penn and Charlize Theron
The engagement between Sean Penn and Charlize Theron was never confirmed. Nor was the alleged “ghosting” in which Theron just started to ignore Penn. But we can say for sure that the two are no longer dating.
Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder
Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder were engaged for three years. The former even got a tattoo with the latter’s name on it. Needless to say, they did not get married.
Chris Klein and Katie Holmes
Chris Klein proposed to Katie Holmes in late 2003 after three years of dating. Just a month after they called off their two-year engagement, however, Katie went on her first date with Tom Cruise. Shady!
Britney Spears and Jason Trawick
Britney Spears nearly got married for the second time to Jason Trawick. But the couple split about a year after getting engaged, in January of 2013.
Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland
How is this for shady: Roberts canceled her planned wedding to Sutherland just days before it was scheduled to take place… and then ran away with Jason Patric, his good friend.
Jessica Alba and Michael Weatherly
Jessica Alba was engaged to her co-star Michael Weatherly for two years… until they split in August of 2003.
Emma Roberts and Evan Peters
Emma Roberts and Evan Peters got engaged in the summer of 2013. They were off and on often since then, but officially split two years later.
Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards
Zayn Malik didn’t just dump Perrie Edwards after asking her to marry him. He allegedly did so via text. Not cool!
Nick Cannon and Selita Ebanks
Nick Cannon asked Selita Ebanks to be his wife in May 2007 after just months of dating. Fast forward five more months and they were caput.
Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow
Lance Armstrong proposed to Sheryl Crow while canoeing in September of 2005. They never made it down the aisle, splitting five months later.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff
