Kel takes us back to 1960 on the remote island of Hydra, where singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen first met and fell in love with Marianne Ihlen, a young mother from Norway. Although their paths didn’t stay aligned forever, Leonard and Marianne never quite forgot each other– even in their very last days. Whether you’re unfamiliar with Leonard’s music (although everyone knows ‘Hallelujah’) or a die-hard Cohen fan, there’s a lot to learn from Leonard and Marianne’s relationship. But first, Kel makes Mel and Kaitlyn correctly...

Now over 100 episodes later, we’re back to revisit the romance between the actress-turned-Goop CEO and Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin.

Once called “the most dangerous woman in America,” Emma was an anarchist revolutionary, writer, and political activist. Ben Reitman was a hobo-turned-doctor (for real!), the founder of a hobo college, and a notorious ladies’ man. When Emma and Ben met in 1908, it was perhaps love at first sight.

But when this duo first met, Greta was a little-known actress from the mumblecore indie film scene. Fourteen years her senior, Noah was married to actress Jennifer Jason Lee. Greta landed a role in Noah’s film “Greenberg,” which he had co-written with his wife. So it raised some eyebrows when, a year or so later, Noah Baumbach’s marriage dissolved and he started dating this intelligent young artist, Greta Gerwig.

GMA co-hosts and self-proclaimed “best friends,” Amy Robach and TJ Holmes frequently double dated with their respective spouses as gossip spread at ABC studios about their chemistry. Then in December 2022, the Daily Mail released dozens of damning PDA-fueled paparazzi shots, seemingly exposing a newsworthy affair.

But she wasn’t just the other woman. Ann-Margret was the “Queen of Las Vegas,” and the “Female Elvis,” the star of acclaimed movies like Bye-Bye Birdie and Carnal Knowledge. She said her and Elvis were “soulmates” and “kindred spirits,” and Elvis seemingly never moved on from their relationship.
What did Ann-Margret know about Priscilla? Who really was the love of Elvis’ life? And we ask the age-old question…can you r...

We’re headed to India to investigate a scandalous case of “did-they-didn’t-they” between then-rising star, Priyanka Chopra, and married “King of Bollywood,” Shah Rukh Khan. After getting close filming Don and Don 2, tabloids and message boards got VERY suspicious that something was going on between SRK and PeeCee.

Both Jack and Lena talked about marrying someday, but refused to exchange rings until marriage became legal for all in the U.S. So on June 25th, 2015, when same-sex marriage became legalized in all 50 states, why didn’t Jack and Lena head down the aisle?

But after only a few weeks of excessive PDA and matching tattoos, the couple got engaged and made it the whole world’s business. Nobody could look away as they defied every relationship rule.
