Random Celeb Couples Who Had To Work Together After Breaking Up (13 items)

• 

  (#3) Cameron Diaz

  • 46

  In 2003, Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz met at the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards and started dating shortly thereafter. They were a couple for three years before going their separate ways in 2006. But the breakup didn't sour the solid friendship at the heart of the couple's connection. They went on to work together in the 2011 comedy, Bad Teacher. Cameron lovingly called Justin "freakin' weird," "bizarre," and "hilarious." On the experience of making Bad Teacher with her ex, she said that they were just, "two people who were working together, who just so happened to have gone out with one another at another time in our lives."

  (#5) Jennifer Lopez

  • 49

  At one time, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were the First Couple of Pop Music. The two began dating in early 2004 and were married that summer. In 2008, they had twins. Just a few years later, the marriage was on the rocks, and JLo and Anthony divorced in 2014. That doesn't mean, however, that the two stopped working with one another. They've made new music together, appeared onstage side by side, and are committed to being cooperative and supportive co-parents. On continuing to work together, Lopez said:

  It actually kind of repaired certain parts of our relationship that had been fractured from our marriage and our divorce and it kind of made us friends again. Because when we first started working together, it’s how we met…we met working. And so we remembered that, like, oh right, we connect on this level of music.

  (#6) Shia LaBeouf

  • 32

  In 2007, Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf met on the set of Transformers, and the two briefly dated. The relationship didn't last long, but the Transformers franchise definitely has. As a result, the two had to work together on another Transformers movie in 2009. It's still unclear if Fox was involved with future husband Brian Austin Green at the time of her dalliance with LaBeouf. Later, looking back on his relationship with Fox, LaBeouf said, "I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen."

  (#11) Laura Dern

  • 52

  From 1985 to 1989, Kyle MacLachlan and Laura Dern were one of the most visible up-and-coming couples of Young Hollywood. During that time, they made the now-classic David Lynch film, Blue Velvet. Decades after their split, they were reunited on the set of another Lynch project, the TV series Twin Peaks: The Return, in which the former couple had to film a love scene together. "Laura and I were kind of like, 'Okay, here we go.' Welcome back, 25 years later," MacLachlan told Ellen. "Yeah, it was weird. We had a couple of laughs for sure."

  (#2) Kaley Cuoco

  • 33

  The Big Bang Theory is one of TV's most beloved shows, and Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki have been two of its biggest breakout stars. They met on the set in 2007 and dated quietly under the radar for two years before splitting in late 2009. The split, however, has had no impact on their working relationship. They've continued to make their hit show without a hint of turbulence or discord. Galecki has called Cuoco "a dear friend," going on to say, "She's not an ex, she's a part of my life."

  (#7) Michael C. Hall

  • 48

  After Dexter costars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter revealed they were secretly married in 2008, the press went wild. After all, they played brother and sister on the show, so the union took some getting used to for Dexter's sizable fanbase. Unfortunately, the marriage did not last, and Hall and Carpenter called it quits; the divorce was finalized in 2011. Dexter, on the other hand, was far from over: they still filmed two more years of the show.

  "The fact that Jennifer and I worked through whatever was going on with us personally and the way we did and maintained a commitment to telling this story was never in question," Hall said. "It was always what we needed and wanted to do."
