Love stories, heartbreaks, and scandals are common place in Hollywood, but love triangles are taken to a whole new level of drama. Since the early days, there have been some celeb couples whose relationships have made headlines all over the world, ignited arguments, fan wars, and never-ending media front-page news. From public breakups to surprise pairings, these Hollywood love triangles really shook the internet.
Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston & Angelina Jolie
No Hollywood love triangle has ever been as discussed as Brad, Jen, and Angelina. Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were Hollywood’s golden couple, until Brad met Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2004. Their attraction was palpable, and gossip began spreading about Brad and Angelina’s increasing intimacy. Eventually, Brad and Jen separated in 2005, and “Brangelina” then became a most legendary couple of all time. This love triangle created endless arguments between “Team Jen” and “Team Angelina,” something that is still remembered today.
Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin
Another social media storming love triangle is that of Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, and Hailey Baldwin (now Hailey Bieber). Selena and Justin were on-again, off-again for almost a decade, with their love story getting support from their fans. However, following several breakups, Justin reignited his romance with Hailey in 2018, and the two later got married. The move left Jelena fans devastated and led to years of social media drama between fans of Selena and Hailey. To this date, the three tend to trend on social media anytime any development emerges.
