These Films Ruined Real-Life Relationships For The Stars

Acting can be a tricky profession, especially when you're in a relationship. Actors and actresses do whatever they can to convince the audience of their performance. If that means kissing their co-star, then let it be, even if they have a relationship in real-life. Sometimes, these on-screen romances can leak outside of work, and that's where the problems occur. You've heard that legend of some films like the infamous Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but are you aware of the rest? Do yourself a favor and find out which movies ruined real-life romances for some celebrities.

Critics ripped apart Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's film Gigli. It's often called the worst movie ever made, but it paved the way for one of the best celebrity couple names ever; Bennifer.

The only issue was that Lopez was married to choreographer Cris Judd at the time. The two divorced after a year of being together, which was unfortunate. Five months after they ended it, Lopez and Affleck got engaged. We have Gigli to thank for that.

Blake Lively played his love interest, and the two had such a chemistry on-screen, that Reynolds decided to test the waters off it. Things "surprisingly" ended with Johansson not long after the production of the film.
