00:00 "What are you doing here?"
00:02 "Buying you a drink."
00:06 Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we'll be looking at former on-screen pairs that took a romantic
00:11 turn after the camera stopped rolling.
00:13 "You getting this?"
00:14 "I'm writing it down."
00:16 10. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn - The Breakup
00:19 "Hey, you wanna go get a drink?"
00:21 "No, I'm with somebody, sorry."
00:24 "You got with the tucked-in shirt and the visor?"
00:26 Following Jennifer Aniston's very public divorce from Brad Pitt in 2005, the Friends star found
00:31 herself in the middle of a media frenzy. Her every move became the topic of conversation,
00:36 so it's not surprising that when she signed up to star in the rom-com The Breakup with
00:40 Vince Vaughn, that rumours swirled.
00:42 "Well, I'm gonna go."
00:43 "Okay, me too."
00:44 "Okay."
00:45 "To where? On an ice-breaking first date?"
00:46 "No."
00:47 Although the pair denied their romance, they were seen out and about together in Chicago
00:51 and at events like the French Open. In late 2006, the duo split, but a couple of years
00:56 later, Aniston opened up to Vogue, where she credited Vaughn with bringing her back to
01:01 life after her divorce.
01:03 "Well, anytime you want. We'll be out in the house. Come on by."
01:06 "Well, I will then."
01:08 "I hope you do."
01:10 9. Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire - Spider-Man
01:14 "You are amazing."
01:17 "Some people don't think so."
01:20 "But you are."
01:23 "Nice to have a fan."
01:25 In 2001, Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire were cast in one of the hottest blockbusters of
01:30 the decade. While playing the iconic couple of Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker, it didn't
01:35 take long for their on-screen romance to become a real-life thing.
01:38 "Kirsten Dunst, while she wasn't, like, incredibly beautiful, she played the role really good."
01:44 "She did. She was great. I think she's terribly attractive."
01:47 The two gushed about one another in interviews, but kept the details of their romance pretty
01:51 private otherwise. Only about a year into dating, however, they broke things off in
01:56 2002. They thankfully did return to a professional relationship, as evidenced by the two Spider-Man
02:02 sequels they starred in together.
02:04 "Tell me you love me."
02:08 "I love you."
02:09 8. Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia - Heroes
02:13 NBC's Heroes was one of the must-watch television series of the 2000s. The show received a lot
02:20 of attention, thrusting two of their biggest stars, Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia,
02:26 further into the spotlight.
02:27 "You know, between you and me, she's not that special. Just your average teenage girl."
02:34 "She rushed into a fire and saved a man's life. Sounds kind of special to me."
02:39 Thanks to what many perceived as on-screen chemistry, the rumour mill started turning,
02:44 with fans speculating whether there was something between them. Turns out they were correct,
02:49 and Panettiere and Ventimiglia were an item.
02:52 "You're not alone, Claire. You're right. You're coming."
02:58 For two years, the pair dated despite the fact that there was a significant 11-year
03:02 age gap between them. Considering that this relationship came about when Panettiere was
03:06 just 18, it was probably for the best that these two parted ways.
03:11 "When I met you, I finally felt like I was part of something."
03:15 "It's funny. I felt the same thing when I met you."
03:19 7. Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult - X-Men First Class
03:23 "You have the most incredible cellular structure I've ever seen."
03:27 Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult's romance sounds like it was a good time.
03:31 After meeting on the set of 2011's X-Men First Class, the superhero couple kept things
03:36 fresh during their relationship by prioritising having fun.
03:40 "Ta-da!"
03:42 "You're amazing."
03:50 "Really?"
03:51 Lawrence said in interviews to publications like Elle magazine that Hoult made her
03:55 "laugh harder than anybody" and that they enjoyed the simple things in life,
03:59 like snacking on junk food together. It was rumoured that in 2013, that the pair split
04:04 before getting back together a short time after. Unfortunately, all good things must
04:08 come to an end, and the X-Men stars officially became exes a few months afterwards.
04:14 "You should get some rest. I'm glad you're home."
04:20 6. Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper - The Words
04:24 "You really think my eyes are beautiful?"
04:27 "I think your eyes are beautiful, yes."
04:31 If you didn't forget that Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper were a thing in the 2010s,
04:36 we certainly did. In the film The Words, the two actors played a couple on screen,
04:41 and then let art imitate life by becoming a couple IRL.
04:46 "My parents are very excited, and they love you very much."
04:50 "Are you excited?"
04:52 Not too much is known about their time together, due to the fact that they kept things
04:55 pretty hush-hush. What we do know is that they were together for only a year before
04:59 they chose to break it off and move on to new relationships.
05:03 We wonder if things ever got awkward at Guardians of the Galaxy events.
05:07 "He called me vermin! She called me rodent!"
05:11 5. Sandra Bullock and Matthew McConaughey - A Time To Kill
05:15 "I think it's time you let me take you out to breakfast. Lunch."
05:21 Bonded by the success of their drama A Time To Kill, Sandra Bullock and Matthew McConaughey
05:26 went from co-stars to friends to a couple in the mid-90s.
05:30 For two years, the future Academy Award winners shared a very private and quiet romance.
05:35 "How do you know all this?"
05:37 "Well, I'm an excellent researcher."
05:38 Although they did not work out in the long run, Bullock has publicly stated that she
05:43 believes the two will always remain close.
05:45 McConaughey has also confirmed that the two are still friends, and continues to speak
05:49 highly of the actress, which is heartwarming for fans of this iconic 90s duo to hear.
05:55 "She's so irresistible. I mean, when you're around her."
05:57 "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's one of a kind."
06:01 4. Liv Tyler and Joaquin Phoenix - Inventing The Abbotts
06:05 "You wanna ride?"
06:06 "Nope."
06:07 "You can drive."
06:09 "I don't have my license yet."
06:11 "I don't care."
06:12 Early on in their careers, Liv Tyler and Joaquin Phoenix were cast in the 1997 film
06:18 Inventing The Abbotts, where they quickly developed an affection for one another.
06:22 Keeping things under wraps, the two began a super-secret on-set romance that continued
06:27 to develop even after the picture was complete.
06:29 "People should do and say exactly what they feel they're thinking, not try to hide things."
06:33 "Okay."
06:38 It was in 1999 that the couple was split, with the reason that, despite having love
06:42 for each other, they were no longer growing together.
06:45 Years later, Tyler would describe Phoenix as her "first love", and say that his siblings
06:50 still felt like family to her.
06:52 "You always loved me no matter what I did, right?"
06:54 "Yeah."
06:56 "Maybe that's how I love you. No matter what. It's the best kind of love, you know?"
07:03 3. Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise - Vanilla Sky
07:06 "How much for her?"
07:07 "One kiss."
07:14 "That smile is going to be the end of me."
07:19 Although they met while co-starring in the Cameron Crowe movie Vanilla Sky, Penelope
07:24 Cruz and Tom Cruise waited until filming wrapped to start any sort of romantic relationship.
07:30 It began months after the Mission Impossible star and his second wife, Nicole Kidman, announced
07:35 their divorce.
07:36 Cruz and Cruz were together until 2004, when they reportedly reached a mutual decision
07:41 to part ways.
07:42 "Good morning. It's time for you to wake up."
07:46 Despite being exes, the Oscar-winning actress has publicly shared kind words about her former
07:51 BF, and they have been spotted running into each other at social functions.
07:55 It's a shame this one didn't work out, if for no other reasons than their last names
07:59 sounding so similar.
08:00 "Hello again."
08:01 "Hello again."
08:02 "Idea. Let's start over."
08:05 2. Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson - Excalibur
08:09 "I decree that at sunrise two days from now, the champions will meet and the truth shall
08:17 be known."
08:18 In the early 1980s, Liam Neeson made his blockbuster film debut in the action-packed Excalibur.
08:24 Not only that, but it was also where he met his future girlfriend, Helen Mirren.
08:28 "Are you worthy?"
08:30 "I am. I am."
08:34 Infatuated from the get-go, Neeson pursued a relationship with the future Oscar winner.
08:39 She helped him build his budding career, and the pair remained together between 1980 and
08:44 1985.
08:45 "Remember what I told you about them."
08:48 Eventually, the plights of show business pulled them apart.
08:58 Mirren opened up about their split, citing the challenges of her fame and his up-and-coming
09:02 status as the reason for the end of their courtship.
09:05 However, the two have remained on good terms, and have even made televised appearances together
09:10 in recent years.
09:11 "She walked from like 100 yards away, dressed as Morgana Le Fay."
09:16 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honourable mentions.
09:19 Jennifer Grey and Matthew Broderick - Ferris Bueller's Day Off
09:23 Let's just forget that this couple ever played siblings.
09:26 "Thank you, Mr. Rooney, for driving him home.
09:29 Now I want you to go upstairs and get in bed."
09:34 Diane Keaton and Al Pacino - The Godfather
09:37 This is one couple we couldn't refuse.
09:39 "What do you want for Christmas?"
09:41 "Oh, just you."
09:43 Dev Patel and Frida Pinto - Slumdog Millionaire
09:47 It is written that these two would fall in love.
09:50 "I knew you'd be watching."
09:52 "I thought we'd meet again only in death."
09:55 Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner - Valentine's Day
09:58 These two shared much more than their first names.
10:01 "So how do you two feel about each other this Valentine's Day?"
10:03 "Oh my gosh, I totally love him."
10:05 "And I'm crazy about her."

10:21 1. Sebastian Stan and Leighton Meester - Gossip Girl
10:26 "Hello beautiful."
10:28 "Carter."
10:32 Featuring a young cast of fresh faces, the show spurred a lot of gossip on its own
10:36 thanks to its on-set relationships.
10:38 One of those couplings was Sebastian Stan and Leighton Meester.
10:42 "What are you doing with this insect?"
10:44 "Having the time of my life, thank you very much."
10:47 For two years between 2008 and 2010,
10:50 the future Marvel star and How I Met Your Father actress
10:53 were frequently seen out and about,
10:56 and were even photographed packing on the PDA at sporting events.
10:59 Eventually, things fizzled out between the pair.
11:02 Meester moved on and married another teen icon, actor Adam Brody,
11:06 while Stan is single but keeping the gossip train running with his rumoured romances.
11:11 "Everyone was talking about it. Gossip Girl even had a dedicated Carter Basin map unspotted."
11:15 Which couple would you have liked to see stay together? Let us know in the comments.
11:20 "I never knew that. You've never told me that before. That's amazing."
