From Jelena to the Kardashians, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL breaks down the juiciest celebrity love triangles.

It&rsquo;s no secret&mdash;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/alber-elbaz-love-brings-love-paris-palais-galliera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">love </a>is tricky. But there&rsquo;s one thing that makes love even more complicated: love triangles. It&rsquo;s normal for relationships to ebb and flow, but when you throw another person into the mix before you&rsquo;re completely over said person, it can lead to a complicated entanglement and bunch of mangled, broken hearts. And Hollywood is proof of this.&nbsp;
Take a look with L&rsquo;OFFICIEL as we break down seven famous love triangles, like Bennifer (<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/ultimate-celebrity-heartthrobs-by-decade-brad-pitt-harry-styles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brad Pitt</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/jennifer-aniston-talks-painful-pregnancy-comments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a>) and Jelena (<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=lofficiel+usa+justin+bieberr&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS841US841&amp;ei=oFfHYurSBsDVkPIPiJS3oAg&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjqorvG4-f4AhXAKkQIHQjKDYQQ4dUDCA4&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=lofficiel+usa+justin+bieberr&amp;gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBwghEAoQoAEyBQghEKsCOgcIABBHELADSgQIQRgASgQIRhgAUMIBWOIOYOcOaAFwAXgAgAGDAYgBqg2SAQQ0LjEymAEAoAEByAEIwAEB&amp;sclient=gws-wiz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Bieber</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-new-beauty-launches-rare-beauty-rem-item-charlotte-tilbury" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Selena Gomez</a>). And don&rsquo;t worry, there are still some happy endings.&nbsp;

Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber, and Justin Bieber

Before the &ldquo;Baby&rdquo; singer and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hailey-bieber-sued-over-rhode-beauty-skincare-lawsuit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rhode</a> skincare founder tied the knot, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/justin-bieber-style-evolution-songs-baby" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Bieber</a> had previously been linked with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/selena-gomez-birthday-beauty-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Selena Gomez</a>. The two started dating in 2010, but had a<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/on-again-off-again-celebrity-couples-justin-bieber-selena-gomez" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> tumultuous, on-and-off relationship</a> for years. After reportedly getting back together in 2017, the two called it quits again in March 2018. Four months later, Bieber was engaged to Hailey Baldwin. Gomez is said to have addressed this in her song &ldquo;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/selena-gomez-new-song-video-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lose You to Love Me,</a>&rdquo; with the lyrics &ldquo;In two months, you replaced us/Like it was easy/Made me think I deserved it/In the thick of healing, yeah.&rdquo;&nbsp;
But this love triangle doesn&rsquo;t end there. Even though the Biebers have been married for a few years, fans continue to taunt both <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/justin-hailey-bieber-street-style-paris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin and Hailey</a> with the reminder of what once was. At the 2021 <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/what-happens-inside-met-gala-2021-seating-chart-performances" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Met Gala</a>, <a href="https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/hailey-bieber-crying-tiktok-video-met-gala-selena-gomez-chant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fans began chanting &ldquo;Selena&rdquo; at the couple, supposedly causing Hailey to cry,</a> and reach for sunglasses. On the other end of the love triangle, <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniesoteriou/selena-gomez-hailey-bieber-pitting-women" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gomez has also received hate</a>, as she has been accused of making fun of Bieber.
At the 2022 Academy Museum Gala, Gomez and Hailey officially debunked any feuding rumors after being photographed hugging one another. After years of being pitted against one another, it seems like both want to let the world know that there's no bad blood between them.&nbsp;

Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, and Joshua Bassett&nbsp;

Back in 2021, when <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/olivia-rodrigo-best-style-fashion-moments-instagram-age" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olivia Rodrigo</a> released, &ldquo;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/olivia-rodrigo-drivers-license-song-drama-sabrina-carpenter-joshua-bassett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Driver&rsquo;s License</a>,&rdquo; fans assumed that the heartbroken teen was referencing her rumored relationship with her High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrity-scandals-you-forgot-about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua Bassett</a>. And some eyebrows were raised at a couple of lines in her pop song. &ldquo;And you're probably with that blonde girl/Who always made me doubt/She's so much older than me/She's everything I'm insecure about.&rdquo; Not long after, Rodrigo's fans began to speculate the &ldquo;blonde girl&rdquo; in question was <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/sabrina-carpenter-best-style-moments-songs-album" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sabrina Carpenter</a>, who not only was four years older than Rodrigo, but who was also spotted with Bassett in December 2020, <a href="https://www.j-14.com/posts/joshua-bassett-sabrina-carpenter-rumored-relationship-timeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">swirling romance rumors</a>. About a week later, Bassett released &ldquo;Lie lie lie.&rdquo; And similar to Rodrigo&rsquo;s music video and song theme, Bassett also employed a car theme in his music video. But wait, that&rsquo;s not all. A few weeks after Rodrigo&rsquo;s hit was topping the charts, Carpenter released &ldquo;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/sabrina-carpenter-responds-to-olivia-rodrigo-new-song-skin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Skin.</a>&rdquo; And the lyrics? Well, they seemed to reference right back to Rodrigo. &ldquo;Maybe you didn't mean it/Maybe blonde was the only rhyme&rdquo; and &ldquo;You can try/To get under my, under my, under my skin/While he's on mine.&rdquo;&nbsp;
But both <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a35306224/sabrina-carpenter-response-skin-diss-track-olivia-rodrigo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carpenter </a>and <a href="https://etcanada.com/news/753444/olivia-rodrigo-is-not-interested-in-alleged-song-feud-with-sabrina-carpenter-i-actually-dont-know-her-at-all/#:~:text=But%20during%20an%20interview%20with,t%20know%2C%E2%80%9D%20she%20said." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rodrigo</a> have denied claims that the songs were about one another.
In July 2022, Carpenter also released her song "Because I Liked a Boy" which opens up about the slut-shaming comments she received when the relationship drama became public knowledge.

Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, and Brad Pitt&nbsp;

Here comes love. Here comes marriage. Here comes a baby in a baby carriage, right? Wrong. At least for <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=lofficiel+usa+brad+pitt&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS841US841&amp;ei=HEvHYpehJ6qhkPIPnp2wqAU&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiXn_fO1-f4AhWqEEQIHZ4ODFUQ4dUDCA4&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=lofficiel+usa+brad+pitt&amp;gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBwghEAoQoAEyBQghEKsCMgUIIRCrAjIFCCEQqwI6BwgAEEcQsAM6BAgAEA06BggAEB4QFkoECEEYAEoECEYYAFC7AVivEWCiEmgBcAF4AIABkAGIAfoNkgEDOC45mAEAoAEByAEIwAEB&amp;sclient=gws-wiz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brad Pitt</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=lofficiel+usa+jennifer+anniston&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS841US841&amp;ei=FE3HYr23E8HWkPIP4qKu4A0&amp;ved=0ahUKEwi9kY2_2ef4AhVBK0QIHWKRC9wQ4dUDCA4&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=lofficiel+usa+jennifer+anniston&amp;gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBwghEAoQoAEyBwghEAoQoAEyBwghEAoQoAE6BwgAEEcQsAM6BggAEB4QFjoECAAQDToECAAQQzoECAAQCjoFCCEQqwI6CAghEB4QFhAdSgQIQRgASgQIRhgAULoBWJcdYKseaANwAHgBgAHXAYgBkBSSAQYyLjE4LjGYAQCgAQHIAQjAAQE&amp;sclient=gws-wiz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a>. Even though one of Hollywood&rsquo;s most powerful couples <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/g18655293/brad-pitt-jennifer-aniston-relationship-timeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tied the knot in 2000, the two were separated by 2005.</a> But even before the two shared the news of their split, rumors of <a href="https://www.glamour.com/gallery/brad-pitt-and-angelina-jolie-relationship-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another relationship started swirling.</a> It was on set of his movie <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/phoebe-waller-bridge-donald-glover-mr-and-mrs-smith-reboot-brad-pitt-angelina-jolie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. and Mrs. Smith</a> where Brad Pitt met <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/angelina-jolie-directing-without-blood-film-salma-hayek" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angelina Jolie</a>. And by January 2006,<a href="https://www.glamour.com/gallery/brad-pitt-and-angelina-jolie-relationship-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> the two were expecting their first baby together</a>&mdash; only three months after Bennifer&rsquo;s divorce was finalized.&nbsp;

Jordyn Woods, Khlo&eacute; Kardashian, and Tristan Thompson

If you&rsquo;re a fan of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/kardashians-hulu-show-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kardashian</a>-Jenner family, you will be familiar with this celebrity love triangle. For years, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/kylie-cosmetics-kylie-jenner-beauty-brand-success-billionaire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylie Jenner</a>, the youngest Kar-Jenner was best friends with model <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/jordyn-woods-red-table-talk-interview-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jordyn Woods</a>, who often appeared in both Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Life of Kylie. But things changed in 2019 when Woods<a href="https://people.com/tv/jordyn-woods-life-changed-after-tristan-thompson-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> made headlines after hooking up with Tristan Thompson</a>, Khlo&eacute; Kardashian&rsquo;s then-boyfriend and father of her daughter True. Viewers saw the celebrity cheating scandal play out during Season 16 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and social media, like in Kardashian&rsquo;s <a href="https://twitter.com/khloekardashian/status/1101534599627198464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1101534599627198464%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wmagazine.com%2Fstory%2Fkardashian-jordyn-woods-scandal-episode" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet</a> that read, &ldquo;Why are you lying<a href="https://twitter.com/jordynwoods"> @jordynwoods</a> ?? If you&rsquo;re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story. BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!&rdquo;

At the beginning of 2021,<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/harry-styles-olivia-wilde-relationship-timeline" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Styles and Wilde</a> were photographed <a href="https://people.com/music/harry-styles-olivia-wilde-relationship-timeline/#:~:text=More%20than%20a%20year%20into,wedding%20together%20in%20January%202021." target="_blank" rel="noopener">holding hands.</a> As months went on, the two carried on and showed support for one another&mdash;like the viral <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@phhrrystyles/video/7005279246256033030" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikToks</a> of Wilde dancing at Styles&rsquo;s concerts. But this famous love triangle continued to play out in the public eye. In May 2022, <a href="https://people.com/movies/new-footage-shows-the-moment-olivia-wilde-is-served-custody-papers-at-cinemacon/#:~:text=Olivia%20Wilde%20was%20served%20with,gathering%20of%20movie%20theater%20owners." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wilde was served custody papers for her and Sudeikis&rsquo;s two children&hellip; while on stage presenting.&nbsp;</a>

Kylie Jenner, Blac Chyna, and Tyga... and Rob Kardashian, too

Next up: another love triangle involving the Kardashian-Jenner family. Since this one gets quite messy, let&rsquo;s simplify it. <a href="https://people.com/tv/blac-chyna-on-learning-about-tyga-kylie-jenner-relationship/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blac Chyna and rapper Tyga were linked romantically from 2011 to 2014. </a>The two also share a child together. But not too long after his split with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-looks-bet-awards-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chyna</a>, Tyga started dating <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/kylie-jenner-opens-up-about-postpartum-struggles-baby-son-wolf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylie Jenner,</a> the youngest Kar-Jenner. During their relationship though, Blac Chyna <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/rob-kardashian-and-blac-chynas-relationship-timeline-w491187/instagram-official-w491209/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">started dating Jenner&rsquo;s older brother,</a> <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/rockiest-relationships-reality-tv-celebrity-dating-kardashians" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rob Kardashian.</a> And in 2016, Chyna and Kardashian welcomed baby Dream into the world. Since then, both Jenner and Tyga and Chyna and Kardashian have split.
