The forgotten romances of the rich and famous – after Cheryl’s love life with Kieron Dyer is revealed
Remember these famous former flames?
KIERON Dyer sent some jaws dropping to the floor when he revealed his brief romance with ex Girls Aloud star Cheryl - but their relationship isn't the only seriously shocking celebrity hook-ups.
From Pop Idol star Darius' failed relationship with Guy Ritchie's model wife Jacqui Ainsley, to Blake Lively's short but sweet romance with Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio, here are the other celebrity trysts you totally forgot ever happened...
Robbie Williams and Cameron Diaz
The former Take That star worked his charm on the Hollywood actress back in the summer of 2003, when they were pictured kissing and holding hands while strolling along Santa Monica beach.
While their romance was short-lived, the pair have remained good friends, with Robbie even crediting Cameron for the success of his relationship with wife Ayda Field.
Speaking on Lorraine about the Something About Mary star's relationship advice back in December, he confessed: "I split up with Ayda three times.
“I was out one evening and I was just with – name dropping, watch your feet – Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, and I was talking about this girl I had just split up with.
"It was one of those sliding door moments where Cameron said, ‘It sounds as though it’s not over’ and in that moment something clicked, something changed and instantly I was like, ‘Yeah, I should go and marry her’."
Justin Timberlake and Fergie
Rewind back to the year 1996 and a 16-year-old Justin was the envy of his friends after striking up a romance with 23-year-old singer Fergie - just a short while before his high-profile relationship with a little-known star called Britney Spears.
While the pair rarely open up about their romance, Fergie previously told Cosmopolitan magazine: "One of my good friends was dating J.C. Chasez, and so we’d all hang out with ‘N Sync. Justin and I would go out together and have fun and make out.
"We went to Hawaii together, but we were never serious. He was Mr. Right Now."
Guy Ricthie's wife Jacqui Ainsley and Darius Danesh
At the height of his Pop Idol fame, Darius managed to woo Essex model Jacqui after she appeared in the music video for his biggest single, Colourblind.
Their relationship went on to span a commendable two years, with the pair even moving into a Fulham flat together.
Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be and some years later Jacqui found love with Madge's director ex Guy, later admitting it was "love at first sight".
Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger
These Hollywood heavyweights fell for one another back in 2009, after meeting on the set of thriller Case 39.
Speaking about their relationship when they were still very much in the throes of love, Bradley told Entertainment Tonight: "I can't say enough about her... I just love her. I [loved] coming to work. I love acting with her. I can learn so much from her'."
However, their romance came to a sad end in 2011. While neither have revealed the reason behind their split, sources at the time claimed that Bradley's career eventually came between them.
The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus and Helena Christensen
Long before finding fame as Darryl Dixon, Norman was doing the rounds as a high fashion model, where he met Danish supermodel Helena.
The couple dated for five years and welcomed son Mingus - now a model himself - in October 1999.
Speaking to Porter magazine about their romance back in 2016, Helena admitted she and her ex are still on very good terms.
She gushed: "There are just some people in my life whom I would fight for until the end, no matter what. And Norman is one of them."
Tom Cruise and Cher
Long before his marriages to Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, Tom fell for the "Goddess of Pop" - despite a 16-year age gap.
While Tom has kept hush on the romance, Cher previously told Oprah that she was "crazy" about the actor before the filming schedules pushed them apart, admitting: "It could have been a great big romance because I was crazy for him."
Last year, the Believe hitmaker gushed that she still lists the Mission: Impossible star as one of her"Top 5" lovers of all time.
Michelle Rodriguez and Cara Delevingne
Cara and Fast and Furious star Michelle seemed head over heels when they began dating in early 2014 and were frequently caught looking loved-up when they stepped out together.
Despite their amorous displays, the former flames called time on their romance later that summer, with a source telling The Sun: "It looks like Michelle and Cara are now over for good.
Michelle got tired of Cara constantly being pictured with other female celebs."
However, the 39-year-old actress later admitted that she struggles with long-term relationships, telling Interview magazine: "I've got lots of really great friends, but the thought of being in a long-lasting relationship? Psh, I couldn't last more than six months with somebody."

However, the pair hit the brakes on their relationship after just five months.
