We Can't Believe These Awkward Celeb Couple Moments Were Caught on Camera
We Can't Believe These Awkward Celeb Couple Moments Were Caught on Camera
Running into an ex is never easy, but having paparazzi around to capture it all on film only makes it worse. Celebrities have had some of their most embarrassing interactions, worst dates, and awkward kisses all photographed for the world to see. From Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk's rough time at Wimbledon to Taylor Swift's run-in with Harry Styles at the VMAs, this list of very public, very awkward interactions just might be the cringiest thing you see today.
Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding
Anyone who has ever run into an ex recognizes the look of pure dread on Ed's face.
Harry Styles, Kendall Jenner, and Cara Delevingne
Next time not one, but two of Harry's alleged exes are blocking the staircase, he might want to take the elevator.
Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy
There's just so much wrong with this picture.
Harry Styles and Taylor Swift
Harry Styles's jaw dropped as Taylor walked by in 2013, the year of their split. This was after she won a MTV VMA for "I Knew You Were Trouble" and dedicated it to him in her speech. Iconic.
Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk
Irina was caught on camera crying at Wimbledon, because of "allergies."
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
What in the world is going on here?
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
The fact that these two were unfazed when Amy Schumer dove in front of them is a little concerning. No emotions whatsoever.
Justin and Hailey Bieber
After a group of fans started chanting "Selena" outside of the 2021 Met Gala when Justin and Hailey arrived, the model appeared to start crying, before throwing on sunglasses and moving quickly up the carpet.
Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana
Talk about awkward—these two filmed a romantic movie together, dated for three months, then split right around the time of the 2012 premiere.
Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas
Two months after he dumped her in a 30-second phone call in 2008, Taylor and Joe had to ring in the New Year together in Times Square. Yikes.
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey
This picture speaks for itself.
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson
Pete looks terrified that Ari's gonna leave him for Shawn Mendes.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
They sure went for the mask kiss.
Debby Ryan, Josh Dun, Tyler Joseph, and Jenna Joseph
Twenty One Pilots and their wives might be close, but this strange photo looks like they're playing a game of Twister.
Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato
Perhaps the funniest part of this snap is Selena looking on as exes Demi and Joe awkwardly reunite at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z
We all know this outfit well. It was the 2014 Met Gala, aka the location of Solange and Jay's infamous elevator fight. It was an awkward night.
Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr
Who can forget Orlando interrupting his ex-wife's interview at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscars party to tell her how great she looked?
Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb
This red carpet bump in went very differently. Sofia did not skip a beat, kept talking to the reporter, and ignored her ex-fiancé.
Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse
The Riverdale exes used to sit next to each other at panels and in interviews...not so much now.
Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Nick Jonas
2008 was the year of Jonas Brothers mania and Disney stars reuniting at the Teen Choice Awards. Miley and Selena famously sang "7 Things" together right in front of the song's inspiration—their shared ex, Nick.
Nick Cannon and Selita Ebanks
That is the face of a woman who wants nothing to do with her ex-fiancé—even while being guests on a talk show at the same time.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Ben couldn't look more nervous here if he tried.
Colin Farrell and Britney Spears
You can't help but feel uncomfortable just looking at this.
Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault
This just might be one of the most badly-timed red carpet photos of all time.
Casper Smart, Jennifer Lopez, and Sean "Diddy" Combs
J.Lo looks concerned watching her ex try to shake hands with her new boyfriend—but accidentally grazing his abs instead.
Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian
Most awkward-looking kiss ever?
Cher and Tom Cruise
Not only did they have a fling in the '80s, but Cher called Tom one of her "top five lovers." What is going on here?
Will and Jada Pinkett Smith
Don't know exactly what's going on here, but at least they're having fun.
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber
All Jelena fans wish they knew what he had said to her in this moment.
Michelle and Barack Obama
The score at the game must have not been great, because the former First Lady and President look bored, to say the least.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z
The real question is, did Bey deny Jay's high-five on purpose?
Tyga and Kylie Jenner
You've seen bored-looking Kardashian-Jenners before, but this one might be the best.
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo
Adam's giving serious side-eye to the paparazzi.
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan
This publicist sure had her hands full with these two.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly
Which is more awkward: His dyed tongue or them licking each other?
Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo
They were very, very excited about being gifted a pair of crystal tweezers.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline
This is the moment Kevin figured out he's being given less attention than Britney's chihuahua.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z
They definitely don't seem too happy with each other here.
Mollie King and David Gandy
These two exes were seated near each other at a tennis match, with just one person in-between them.
Because Bradley and Irina at Wimbledon were not the first.
