Some of these famous couples who broke off their engagements were quite iconic while others were somewhat forgettable. Here is a list of 12 celebrity couples who never made it to the altar!

12. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez postponed their wedding one day before it was set to take place back in the fall of 2003 and a few months later they called it quits. Right before these two were set to marry, the “Argo” star spent the night hanging out at a strip club and then brought a few of the strippers back to his friend’s place.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt called it quits back in 1997. Apparently the “Shakespeare in Love” star called the wedding off because she wasn’t ready for marriage. “My kind of internal stuff really tripped up that whole relationship,” she told Diane Sawyer back in 2003. “And I felt really responsible, and also like I was the architect of my own misery. I just made a big mess out of it.”
