5 Celeb Couples Who Broke Up and Got Back Together: Including Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin

You can't help true love...

With rumours swirling that Liam Payne is back dating his ex-girlfriend Danielle Peazer, we can’t help but wonder (Carrie Bradshaw moment) how many other couples have gotten back together after breaking up.

The on-off relationships are very real both IRL and in the land of celebrity, so it’s no surprise that plenty of our favourite stars run back to their exes to give things another go. I mean, sometimes you just can’t help it, can you?

Whether it works out long-term or not is another discussion for another day but this test of true love is admirable and there’s plenty of celebs who have tried it for themselves.

We couldn’t possibly start with anyone else. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber - aka Jelena - have been one of the most-discussed on-off celeb couples ever. They started out as pop’s adorable rising stars, attending red carpets together looking young and in love before drama started to infiltrate the dreamy headlines. They first split up in 2012after what was supposedly a rather tumultuous time together before officially getting back together earlier THIS year, before then quickly splitting up again and going their separate ways. We’d usually hold out for a next time but seeing as Bieber’s officially off the market now, we’ll need to say goodbye to our favourite OTP...

Rihanna and Drake

This one is a little tricky to follow because Rihanna is a master at keeping her private life, well, private. The Bajan superstar was first linked romantically to rapper Drake back in 2010 when they first collaborated on their #1 single ‘What’s My Name’ (tune) and we’ve been trying to keep up ever since.

They reunited in the studio several times to give us a few more bangers while never fully disclosing their relationship status. During this time Rihanna briefly rekindled her romance with ex Chris Brown and there were rumours of violent club fights happening over her. It was only when they released their 2016 smash ‘Work’ that sh*t got real: they got matching tats, posted (just one picture) on Instagram together, and Drake declared his love for Rih at the VMAs that year while presenting her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. While he professed his love, she dabbed.

The whole thing cringed Rihanna out, though, and they were said to be over with shortly after. Earlier this year the ‘Wild Thoughts’ revealed they no longer speak but said there is no bad blood. Ugh - another one bites the dust.

Are they? Aren’t they? Supermodel Bella Hadid and superstar musician The Weeknd were one of the hottest couples around from the moment they first got together in 2015. The gorgeous pair broke up in November 2016, just days before she had to strut down the Victoria’s Secret catwalk by him as he performed.

Bella handled it like a stunning pro and became #goals for anyone who had to come face-to-face with their ex for the first time after splitting. The Weeknd then dated Selena Gomez for the majority of 2017, however he was seen leaving Bella’s apartment in October just after the two pop stars ended their romance. Where are they now? They were spotted together several times over the summer so are believed to be dating again. Ah, true love!

Now this one is wild. We all know that Jay-Z was unfaithful to Beyoncé as the pair have documented in their trio of recent albums - Lemonade, 4:44 and Everything Is Love - but the most recent revelations shocked us the most. Beyoncé’s outrage was felt by us all when we first listened to ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself’ but we had no idea that she actually left her husband.

On their joint album they revealed that she walked out on the rapper after things went sour and then took him back when they were committed to rebuilding their relationship. They’ve since renewed their vows, which is entirely too much for us to handle. While things can certainly go wrong, true love will conquer all.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin

Yes, it’s Justin again. Mr. Bieber makes his second appearance on this list, this time with the future Mrs. Bieber - or Bieber-Baldwin because what’s with that tradition? Anyways, Hailey Baldwin and Justin first dated back in 2016, as they rang in the New Year together and shared a sexy snap of them kissing on a yacht. Lifestyles of the rich, young and famous, etc.

They split for quite a while before reuniting earlier this summer and everything is going swimmingly the second time around, with the pop superstar proposing to the model after less than a month! When you know, you just know.
