Top 5 Least Favorite Celebrity Couples Ruining the Valentine’s Day Vibe

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be all about heart‑eyes, roses, and couples who make us believe in love again. But let’s be real — some celebrity couples don’t exactly inspire warm, fuzzy feelings. Whether it’s the drama, the chaos, or the sheer exhaustion of watching them unfold in public, these pairs have earned a spot on the “please, not them” list.

Here are the top 5 least favorite celebrity couples, the ones who kept us talking… but not always in a good way.

1.) Machine Gun Kelly & Megan Fox

Together: First linked in early 2020
Married: No

This celebrity pairing has been a roller coaster from day one. MGK and Megan Fox didn’t just date — they turned their relationship into a full‑blown performance piece. From blood‑vial rumors to hyper‑dramatic interviews, fans often felt like they were watching a rock‑opera version of a romance. In a GQ profile, Fox described their connection as “a once‑in‑a‑lifetime thing,” while MGK said he “fell in love with her instantly,” quotes that fueled both fascination and backlash. Their on‑again, off‑again dynamic and cryptic social‑media posts kept the public guessing, but not always rooting for them.

2.) Spencer Pratt & Heidi Montag

Together: Began dating in 2007
Married: Yes (2009)

“Speidi” became the face of reality‑TV chaos during “The Hills” era. Their relationship was so drenched in drama that fans couldn’t tell what was real and what was manufactured for attention. Pratt‘s feuds, Montag’s drastic image changes, and their constant need to stay in the spotlight made them one of the most polarizing celebrity couples of the 2000s. Even years later, their reputation as a duo who thrived on controversy hasn’t faded.

3.) Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

Together: Began dating around 2005
Married: Yes (2014; separated 2016)

Brangelina might have been Hollywood royalty for a while, but their story started with a storm already brewing. Their connection reportedly sparked on the set of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston — instantly turning them into the center of one of the most talked‑about love triangles in pop‑culture history. Fans picked sides, tabloids went wild, and that early controversy never fully faded. By the time the relationship fell apart, with legal battles, custody fights, and nonstop media scrutiny, the couple had become a symbol of just how messy and polarizing a celebrity couple can be.

4.) LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian

Together: Began dating in 2009
Married: Yes (2011)

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian’s relationship started with a tabloid explosion. Both of them were still married when they first got together, and the fallout was exactly what you’d expect — loud, messy, and impossible to escape. Their romance was immediately overshadowed by the scandal, and a lot of fans never fully warmed up to them because the relationship started with infidelity hanging over it. Even after they tied the knot, the drama didn’t let up. Tension with Cibrian’s ex‑wife, Brandi Glanville, kept bubbling up in public, keeping the couple in the headlines for reasons they probably would’ve preferred to avoid.

5.) Donald Trump & Melania Trump

Together: Began dating in 1998
Married: Yes (2005)

Donald and Melania Trump have long been one of the most publicly scrutinized celebrity couples. Their marriage has been dissected in headlines for years, especially during Trump’s time in the public spotlight. Media coverage often focused on moments that fueled speculation about distance or tension — from Melania’s reactions during public events to widely reported controversies surrounding Trump. In 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported on alleged infidelity claims, which Trump denied, and the story intensified public debate. Melania later told ABC News she had “more important things to think about” than speculation about their marriage, a comment that only added to the public fascination.

Why We Don’t Love These Couples

Valentine’s Day might be about celebrating love, but these celebrity couples remind us that romance in the spotlight can get messy fast. Whether it’s scandal, drama, or just plain chaos, each pair earned their place on this list by keeping the public talking — and not always cheering.
