If it feels as though everyone in Hollywood has dated each other, that's because they basically have.

But while we remember many high-profile celebrity romances, there are some that we have since forgotten about.

Until now.

Here are 17 celebrity couples you probably forgot ever existed.

Laura Dern and Billy Bob Thornton.

Although everyone remembers Billy Bob Thornton dating Angelina Jolie, before they got together he was with Academy Award winner, Laura Dern.

The couple met on the set of theEllensitcom in 1997, where Dern famously played DeGeneres' girlfriend in the "Coming Out" episode and Thornton guest-starred. The two went on to date for two years and even became engaged.

However, Thornton sadly moved onto Jolie and married her... while the pair were still together.

In a 2000 interview with Talk Magazine, Dern spoke about their breakup, citing it as a sudden death.

"I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend got married, and I've never heard from him again," she said.

"It's like a sudden death. For no one has there been any closure or clarity."

Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively.

At 24, and at the height of herGossip Girlfame, actress Blake Lively started dating Leonardo DiCaprio.

After the Cannes Film Festival in 2011, the couple were photographed together across the world - on a yacht in Italy, partying in New York City, and even in Australia. The romance only lasted for a few months, with their breakup confirmed in October 2011, by reps for both stars saying they would "remain friends".

Reflecting on the relationship between the two stars,GossipGirlexecutive producer Joshua Safran spoke to Vanity Fair in 2017.

He noted the real life relationship couldn’t help but influence the show.

"We learned a lot from Blake. When I think about shooting the LA episodes, Blake was dating [DiCaprio] at the time, and she had this thing where she took photos she sent to Leo," he said.

"Blake was way ahead of the curve. It was pre-Instagram. She was documenting her life in photographs in a way that people were not yet doing."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck.

Although both of these celebrities were known to date other well-known actors, most people might've forgotten they dated each other. For three years.

The couple dated from 1997 to 2000 (just after Paltrow's long-term relationship and engagement to Brad Pitt ended) and starred in two movies together,Shakespeare in LoveandBounce.

Unfortunately, the relationship didn't last.

When looking back on their relationship, Paltrow explained that she and Affleck were just too different.

"I just think we have a very different sort of value system. Ben makes life tough for himself. He’s got a lot of complication, and you know, he really is a great guy. So I hope he sorts himself out," she told Entertainment Weekly.

Gigi Hadid and Cody Simpson.

From 2013 until 2015, Australian singer and swimmer Cody Simpson was in a highly publicised relationship with supermodel Gigi Hadid.

Hadid first met Simpson when she appeared in his music video for 'Surfboard'.

In May 2015, the pair called it quits. Fun fact: their respective mums have remained good friends.

Simpson told DuJour following their split: "I love my ex-girlfriend, I always will. It was an amicable, mutual decision, and we still talk every now and then, but the highly publicised thing made me uncomfortable.

"Going out to dinner and there being all this paparazzi and stuff… as soon as we split I had the realisation that I was straying away from who I was as a whole person. I want to keep it low-key, and focus on my music."

Kate Bosworth and Orlando Bloom.

Before Orlando Bloom married Miranda Kerr then Katy Perry, he dated Kate Bosworth from 2002 to 2005.

Bosworth has shared that since dating Bloom, she has sworn off actors altogether.

When appearing on Andy Cohen's late-night talk show,Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, she explained the problem with dating actors.

"It's no bueno. It's just — it's too much of the same thing," Bosworth explained.

She said that because Bloom was at the beginning of hisPirates of the Caribbeanpopularity (the first film was released in 2003), it became all too much.

"It hit when we were together," she recalled. "I think when you kind of go through something like that with someone, it's like you feel like that's a real anchor in many ways because it was just crazy. We would land at airports, and he would have, like, girls, like, lifting their shirts up... It was just wild.

"I mean, if you're just two normal people hanging out, and all of a sudden it just blows up into something really surreal, then you kind of look at the person you're with as a rock in many ways. And I think we felt that way about each other through a crazy time."

Salma Hayek and Edward Norton.

Many of us might have forgotten that Hayek dated theItalian Jobactor, but the couple were actually together for four whole years.

Sadly, there are little details on their relationship besides the fact that the pair worked on the filmFridatogether in 2002.

Although Tyra Banks is known for keeping her private life extremely private, there are photos to prove that her and theKiss From A Rosesinger did indeed date in the mid '90s.

However, it was only brief and the two have since married others.

When Seal appeared on an episode of Watch What Happens Live, he answered a viewer question about whether Banks was the inspiration for his 'Human Being' album.

"It wasn't inspired by her but we bump into each other every now and then, there's no drama," he said.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr.

After meeting on the set of the 1984 film,Firstborn,Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr. dated for six years.

At the time, Downey Jr. told People:"I'm really happy with Sarah, and I don’t want to ruin it by planning too far ahead. But the way I feel now, marriage looks like where we’re headed."

However, due to Downey Jr's substance addiction, the two never made it to that next step.

"I was so selfish. I liked to drink, and I had a drug problem, and that didn’t jibe with Sarah Jessica, because it is the furthest thing from what she is.

"She provided me a home and understanding. She tried to help me. She was so miffed when I didn’t get my act together… I was in love with Sarah Jessica, and love clearly was not enough," he told Huffington Post.

Tom Cruise and Cher.

Yes, this unlikely pair dated during the 80s. And, they met at none other than Sean Penn and Madonna’s wedding in 1985. Cher was 39, and Cruise was 23.

While Cher admitted to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, that it was only a brief fling, she did say that "it was pretty hot and heavy for a little minute," and she still considers Cruise one of her top five in bed.

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston.

Not long after things ended between Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift, the singer was spotted kissing British actor Tom Hiddleston on a beach in Rhode Island, which surprised precisely everyone.

The couple travelled the world together, to places including Italy, America, Australia and England, before calling it quits after three months.

But of course, who could forget the cheesy "I Heart T.S." T-shirt Hiddleston wore for Swift's Fourth of July party in 2016.

Speaking about his former relationship with Swift, the British actor said to GQ: "I only know the woman I met. She’s incredible. A relationship in the limelight… A relationship always takes work. A relationship in the limelight takes work. And it’s not just the limelight. It's everything else."

Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morissette.

In 2002, Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds met seven-time Grammy Award-winner, Alanis Morissette, at Drew Barrymore's birthday party. And by 2004, the two were engaged.

"[He's] like a soul brother to me, except that I want to jump his bones," Morissette said about their relationship.

While Reynolds shared: "I love her music... but it can be awkward when she walks in and I’m listening to it in my underwear dancing."

However, after a three-year engagement, the two sadly ended their relationship.

When discussing their split, Morrisette explained to the LA Times, "I've been on a constant journey toward finally surrendering and hitting the rock bottom that I've been avoiding my whole life... so this was a huge,
