It is only a matter of time until Hollywood’s hottest stars get together, whether it be socially, professionally, or romantically. And it is also of course only a matter of time before these Hollywood hotties start to date the same people, or become romantically involved with their ex’s best friend. 

There were a number of celebs who seemed to have been attached at the hip over the years and seemed to have enjoyed some pretty awesome dates together, despite the fact that the new love in their life may have been their good pal’s ex. To say the least, the Hollywood pool of romance definitely gets a little messy from time to time. 

For example, some of our favorite celebrity couples have been Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner, as well as Ashley Greene and Ryan Phillippe. And, believe it or not, Lautner also dated T Swift’s bestie, Selena Gomez; and Phillippe has also dated Green’s BFF, Nikki Reed.
