Hollywood just may be the one place where the phrase “love is a battlefield” is an understatement. The land of fortune and fame is the forefront for some of the most scandalous relationships and splits we’ve ever witnessed.
But finding love is not the problem for these celebs; it’s keeping it. For many, passionate romances and ‘I do’s’ end as suddenly and tragically as their last. But luckily, every love story has a different ending… and some endings turn into new beginnings. These four celebrity couples came armed the second time around on the battlefield of love and came out on top:

It looks like these two love-birds are back at it again. At 86 years-young, Hugh Hefner is engaged again to Crystal Harris. To make it official, the couple took to Twitter to announce the news. Playboy’s founder tweeted, “I’ve given Crystal Harris a ring. I love the girl.” Soon after, the 26 year-old fiancée posted pictures of her ring, calling it “my beautiful ring.” With all these announcements going around, what wasn’t mentioned at all was a wedding date. However, sources reveal to People the wedding will be on New Year’s Eve at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, which was the same wedding plan after their first engagement. In 2011, Harris called off the wedding days before the big day. Then, both Harris and Hefner bad mouthed each other; Harris calling Hefner a two-second man and Hefner stating he “missed a bullet” when the wedding was called off. Hopefully, these two can leave 2011 in the past.

Recently, at an Usmagazine.com Music Party, Stanger told Hollyscoop.com, “I love the fact that [Robert Pattinson] let [Kristen Stewart] apologize and that she owned up to her mistake. Let’s see if they can heal each other and if they can get married in the next year and a half.” Although most of America thought their love fiasco may have been a publicity stunt for the Twilight Saga movie, Stanger actually saw a heartbroken Pattinson and a remorseful Stewart. “I think it’s for real because I really think he had a broken heart, I think he really cried his eyes out and I think she really regretted what she did.” When it comes to cheating, Stanger believes in forgiveness. “She’s human and they’re young. We make mistakes like that and nobody calls them out. They make mistakes and it’s like the end of the world.”
