We don't know about you, but we're obsessed with Old Loves, a Tumblr blog that pays tribute to famous couples from the past. (Like Ben Affleck and a clearly unamused Gwyneth Paltrow -- or French New Wave power couple Anna Karina and Jean-Luc Godard on their wedding day.)

Inspired by the blog -- and by the fact that it's Throwback Thursday -- we thought we'd take a moment to look back at formerly married celebrity couples who called it quits a long, long time ago.

Delight in their short-lived looks of love -- and ridiculous '80s and '90s haircuts -- below.

  • 1. Here's Richard Gere, Cindy Crawford and some guy who deeply regrets being photographed between such a ridiculously good looking couple. (1988)
