The 2000s were a chaotic time for celebrity relationships.
Tabloids were everywhere.
Paparazzi followed every move.
And celebrity couples basically turned dating into a full-time reality show.
Looking back now, some of these relationships feel so dramatic they could easily be a Netflix series.
Here are some of the most unforgettable celebrity couples of the 2000s.

It was peak 2000s celebrity chaos.
Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie

Nicole Richie and DJ AM were one of the most talked-about couples in the Hollywood party scene.
