Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp
They became engaged five months after their first date, when he was 27 and she was 18. He got his infamous "Winona Forever" tattoo but, alas, things don't always last that long and by 1993, their engagement was off and "Wino Forever" lives on.

Taylor Kinney and Lady Gaga
They met on the set of Gaga's video for "You and I" back in 2011 and started dating almost immediately. Kinney popped the question on Valentine's Day in 2015 with a heard-shaped diamond, and it was one of 24 celebrity engagements rings we adored! But just over a year later, the two announced they were done.

Mariah Carey and James Packer
The billionaire proposed with a 35-carat diamond and naturally Mimi said yes. But less than a year later, there were reports the two were on a break. Those reports led to both sides revealing they were over for good, with Mariah focused on her reality show and James wanting nothing to do with it.

Sienna Miller and Jude Law
These two got engaged in 2004 but it was seven months later that she — and we — learned about Law's affair with his kids' nanny. Naturally, they called it quits but the two briefly reunited in 2010, making them just one Hollywood couple who survived cheating and stayed together. They parted ways for good shortly after, though.

Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson
Their on-off relationship should've been a sign; after seven short engaged months, they called it and were permanently off. It's probably also due to the fact that they first got together while Manson was with Dita Von Teese. To this day it remains one of the most scandalous celebrity love triangles of all time.

Michael Bublé and Emily Blunt
When a guy writes a song about you, it can be cheese. But "Everything" was anything but. They got engaged in 2005 but split three years later. We're totally OK with this since Blunt and John Krasinski are perfection together.

She left Dylan McDermott for Kiefer, and the two were engaged. It seemed to be going swimmingly until she called off the wedding three days before it was supposed to go down and took off with her and Sutherland's friend, Jason Patric. Damn.
