Aww thats so sad. They're my favorite star couple & were always so CUTE together.
they were cute together.
Wow they were together for at 20 Hollywood years! Shocking. They're young they will move on quickly.
Aww well that's sad. I know they are so young but they were so cute together. It's probably why I loved them as a couple on GG. Oh well...
Hmmm she was spotted recently with Ryan Gosling! I think she makes a better couple with him
Awe, they were cute together, but I guess it's normal in your twenties to not settle down. Good for both of them to have such a good relationship even as friends.
