Sometimes love isn’t all champagne and caviar, even for our favorite celebrity couples. Sometimes celebrity relationships have moments that can be a little toxic. In some instances the couples work it out, but in other cases the relationship ends in a split. We can take away relationship advice from this, though; sometimes things fall apart so better things can fall together.
Cupid has compiled 10 toxic celebrity relationships:
1. Chris Brown & Rihanna: Chris Brown and Rihanna were a favorite celebrity couple for many. Then, in 2008, there were many reports that she was being abused and that the celebrity couple wasn’t healthy. Bad gal Riri and Chris Brown ended up splitting, but one thing nobody – including them – denies is that they were passionate about one another.
2. Britney Spears & Kevin Federline: “I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic!” Britney Spears, pop princess, was married to her back up dancer, Kevin Federline. The celebrity couple even produced two celebrity babies. The “Toxic” singer had a reality show when they were married called Chaotic.
