It’s not controversial to say that celebrity relationships are really frickin’ hard to keep track of. It seems like every. single. day. some pop star begins seeing someone new or gets back into an on-again off-again relationship. What complicates things even further is that celebrities tend to date A LOT. Like, basc once a star splits with their bae, they can have a new one in .05 seconds. If the former duo never formally announced their breakup (NGL, even posting a sad crypic tweet would do!), then you can’t blame people for being shocked when one of the parties involved is suddenly spotted getting snuggly with someone new.
While cheating is sometimes a cause for the canoodling, what’s USUALLY the case is that the star simply forgot to keep fans up to speed on their love life… leaving a lot of confusion about the status of their old relationship and what’s happening in their new one.
Bella Thorne & Tyler Posey
Who swooped in? Charlie Puth
Who could possibly forget the D.R.A.M.A. that went down between this these celebs at the end of 2016? Basically, Bella had been all about sharing cute photos of her and her Teen Wolf bae for weeks...until she was spotted flirting with a certain "We Don't Talk Anymore" singer on a Miami beach.
People were quick to think that Bells was cheating on T.Pose and even Charlie put the Shake It Up star on blast with some tweets. He wrote, "No one should have their heart messed with like this and I'm not going to be in the middle of it. I don't know Tyler personally, but I know he shouldn't be treated this way."
BUT, no cheating went down. The 19-year-old responded to the 25-year-old's allegations saying that she and Ty had actually broken up weeks prior... the world just didn't know about it until she was attached to someone new!

Kristen Stewart & Alicia Cargile
Who swooped in? St. Vincent
Shortly after K.Stew was gushing to Elle UK about her happy relationship with Alicia, it appeared that the two were officially off-again when all of a sudden the Twilight star started popping up all over Hollywood with a new lady on her arm!
St. Vincent (also known as Annie Clarke) had been dating Cara Delevingne for about a year before breakup rumors started to circulate. While they were pretty cute for a while, it was only a matter of time before the relaysh fell apart.

Kristen Stewart & St. Vincent
Who swooped in? Stella Maxwell
Kristen obvs doesn't like going public about her relationships... or her breakups... because everyone thought that she & St. Vincent were #goals...until they suddently weren't!
Miley Cyrus' Victoria's Secret ex-GF and Kristen were spotted hanging out with St. V nowhere to be seen. Soon after the new couple went public, Annie was seen out with Cara, yet again. So at least both halves of the short-lived relationship moved on quickly!

Emma Roberts & Christopher Hines
Who swooped in? Evan Peters
We've got another return-to-the-ex situation here with Emma, Chris and Evan. Em and Ev have had a rocky relationship (to say the least) for YEARS, so when they called it quits in May 2016, many thought it would be for good... including Chris! He and the actress met through a mutual friend and were spotted strolling London and looking super coupley not long after.
...not so much. Without any warning, the American Horror Story co-stars were back together by September, leaving Chris as a thing of the past.

Demi Lovato & Luke Rockhold
Who swooped in? Guilherme 'Bomba' Vasconcelos
Dems hopped from one fighter to the next... and didn't even give the public a moment to catch up! There weren't any signs of trouble in the DL-LR relationship, that was until her ex, known as "Bomba" posted a pic of them hanging out on New Year's Eve! All of a sudden it was, "Luke, who?" and Guilherme was 'gramming all sorts of shots of the two together. The hitmaker herself even posted a vid of them sparring, referring to her new man as "bae."

Kendall Jenner & A$AP Rocky
Who swooped in? Harry Styles
Kenny and Harry are the on-again, off-again couple that no one is actually sure officially dated. Yet, it appears she dropped the rapper, who she was "full-on dating," to link back up with her One Direction man.
Less than a month after A$AP's mom confirmed the relaysh, Hendall was spotted all over LA on romantic-looking dates. It really seems like the supermodel can't choose between the two guys... because recent reports mention that Kylie Jenner's older sis is back with the musician again!Photo: Instagram (@kendalljenner) / Twitter
Chloe Grace Moretz & Brooklyn Beckham
Who swooped in? Sonia Benn Ammar
Although this pair definitely liked to keep their romance on the DL, CGM finally confirmed their relationship in October '14... but then we heard nothing for months. Many assumed that they were still together, just not being very vocal about it. However (you guessed it!) Victoria Beckham's son was seen out with model Sonia Benn Ammar a year later.

Sonia Ben Ammar & Brooklyn Beckham
Who swooped in?Chloe Grace Moretz
Just kidding! A couple months after the Sonia-Brooklyn match went Instagram-official, Brook was back with his ex in London. Whaaa? This time, the ex-exes were a little more public with their romance (mostly just posting photos together on social media) until they apparently broke up last September after a fight at a Coldplay concert. At least this time, we knew that they were broken up before they were dating other people.

Rihanna & Drake
Who swooped in? India Love
Will RiRi and Drake ever actually make it work? Well, people thought it was *finally* going to happen late last summer after the rapper presented her with an award (and heartfelt speech) at the MTV Video Music Awards, 'grammed a photo of him kissing her on the cheek, etc.
Breakup rumors started to swirl only after Drake was seen at a Toronto Blue Jays game with India, a reality TV star and model. Afterwards, Ri shared a photo to IG saying, "None of my exs are married or happily in relationships so it's safe to say I wasn't da problem lol." Will that be the last time the "Too Good" collaborators try to make a relaysh happen? Tbh, probably not.
