We all know how fascinated we are with celebrities and their relationships. But even if while they were together and in love you knew everything about them, chances are you've forgotten about a few romances that happened back in the '90s and 2000s — we don't blame you! That was the age of relationships, when neither you nor us could keep track of who was on and who was off.
