Best friends don’t necessarily make for best wives. Just ask singer-songwriter Beth Ditto who married her “best friend” Kristin Ogata only to become her best friend’s ex-wife. After knowing each other for well over a decade, Beth and Kristin came to acknowledge the growing feelings between each other and decided to tie the knot in 2013.
Beth states that hindsight now has her realizing how young she was, thinking she had it all figured out. She explained how marrying a best friend might sound like a good idea. Yet, think about all the things that annoy you about a best friend and choosing to marry that. Beth said she had no idea what she’d signed up for in hindsight. Very sadly, she and Kristin have cut all ties and have no contact at all.
Camila Grey & Leisha Hailey
A bit of a throwback this one. Musician Camila Grey and actress and singer Leisha Hailey were members of the band Uh Huh Her and shared both creative and emotional passions while working together. The couple made headlines in 2011 when they were ejected from a plane (before takeoff – don’t panic!) for kissing in their seat.
An air hostess requested they stop since it was a “family airline,” which caused a furor. The world came to know of their relationship after drama unfolded on the plane – not exactly how the pair might’ve wanted to break the news. After breaking up in 2016, the band dissolved and Camila went on to pursue a DJ career as Leisha furthered her acting career.
Karamo Brown & Ian Jordan
Ten years is a long time to be together only to say goodbye. "Queer Eye’s" cultural expert, Karama Brown revealed to Ellen DeGeneres and her worldwide audience that he and his partner, Ian Brown, have officially taken separate paths and are no longer together. This after Brown had twice proposed to Ian, with the kicker being Ian saying “yes” twice!
Brown admitted that their career focus and familial responsibilities were ultimately responsible for the breakdown in their relationship. The marriage was initially put on hold due to the pandemic, during which time Karamo reflected on life and whether their relationship was really working. Wedding plans came to a halt for good soon after.
Kristen Stewart & Soko
Actress Kristen Stewart and French singer-songwriter Stephanie Sokolinski, better known as Soko, shared a whirlwind romance in 2016. A photo emerged of the cozied-up couple while eating takeout! The couple first made headlines when they traveled to Paris together. They were spotted kissing unabashedly in the streets, which seemed like a fitting way to make the relationship public
But Neither Kristen nor Soko revealed whether they were officially dating. Kristen especially has always been an extremely private person. The pair broke up not long after Soko declared in an interview that she is “very, very, very in love.” Who with? That’s the burning question. In an interesting twist, Kristen was spotted not long afterward with Stella Maxwell.
Zachary Quinto & Jesse Tyler Ferguson
If only this had more meat on its bones! Rumors long did the rounds that actors Zachary Quinto and Jesse Tyler Ferguson were dating. An eye-rolling Jesse has consistently denied the rumors and emphatically stated that he and Zachary never dated.
Jesse elaborated, “Zachary Quinto and I never dated, but the report makes us happy because we love each other — as friends!” Friends…with benefits, we wonder? The two have famously got along, attending several events together where the press never stopped speculating. Some reports even went so far as to compare Jesse’s husband (Justin Mikita) to Zachary. Their point? Justin looked far too much like Zachary. They might be on to something.
