Forgotten Celebrity romances?

I was just thinking about this the other day about how I distinctly remember that Kelly MacDonald used to go out with the late Sean Hughes in the mid to late 90's and I remember a story in the press when Kelly broke up with him because of his drinking but their is nothing about that anywhere online now. Also the comedian Ed Byrne dating EastEnders actress Letitia Dean although I think their is still some trace of that online.

Anyone remember these or remember any others?

I know there are some madd up ones for fun, but help me out:

So Liz Taylor and Bowie isn’t true? Just an iconic photoshoot.

Joan Armatrading and Valarie Singleton isn’t true? https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/jun/24/television.gayrights

Liam Fox and Natalie Imbruglia is true (faints!)

Jimmy corkhill and Fred talbot (who went to prison for sexual abuse of boys) surely that’s untrue? I found someone saying if on X but that’s not really a source!

Blue Peter's Valerie Singleton: Lost lesbian icon

At 71, former Blue Peter presenter Valerie Singleton has spoken candidly about the men in her life - and finally scotched the 'ludicrous' rumour she is gay. Julie Bindel bids farewell to a well-loved lesbian icon

I think this is a gorgeous pairing!

Ended in tragedy when a car that Matthew was driving, and Jennifer was a passenger in, crashed into another vehicle in Ireland resulting in the death of 2 women. Happened just before the release of Dirty Dancing.
