They say that communication is key! Apparently open relationships are quite common right now with celebrity couples. However; just because someone starts out with an open relationship doesn’t mean they can’t later on be monogamous. Many celebrity relationships have started out more casual and open, but have led to monogamous marriages later on. When it comes to relationship advice, it’s clear that communication and trust are imperative.
Cupid has compiled five stars in open celebrity relationships:
