4. Julia Roberts And Lyle Lovett

Here’s another relationship that made people a bit upset.

Although your initial idea about Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett’s relationship/marriage and why it was so controversial at the time might be the age difference between the two, try a bit harder and really look at the bigger picture.

Although the age gap really didn’t help, either.

The 10-year-old age difference was pretty visible thanks to Lovett’s worn-out look, and they were both proudly sporting their red, curly hair (Lovett’s idea of a hairdo still fascinates everyone who sees it), and always had those huge, goofy grins on their faces.

Some call it love – the tabloids called it “a horrible situation.” People were also constantly calling-out the country crooner for trying to ride Roberts’ fame train. They divorced after 21 months of marriage.
