15 Celebrities Who Hooked Up With Other Stars Amid Divorce

We know that relationships are not easy. They take a lot of work, and we imagine adding the pressure of Hollywood into the mix and all the eyeballs from fans and critics around the world, it has to feel near impossible at times. Given all this, it's not too much of a surprise to hear that celebrity divorces happen — maybe more than the typical relationship — and the fallout of these divorces that happen in the public eye feel so much bigger, because everyone knows the personal business. So when celebrities seem to move on to another relationship before their divorce is finalized, people notice.

Some celebrities — like Armie Hammer who was married to Elizabeth Chambers — don't seem to know what they wanted out of love (or companionship) and seem to founder a little bit. Others found that the love rebound they had while getting out of a marriage was too quick, and they've since moved on again. The lucky ones went on to have long, happy marriages, and are still together to this day. Either way, these relationships show that love isn't always straightforward and doesn't always play out like Hollywood movies lead us to believe.

Read on for the stars who have hooked up with other celebrities before their divorces were finalized. It's not to point fingers or say this is bad. Sometimes, our heart knows what it needs, but the timing doesn't always look good on paper.

Alicia and Swizz are still married, and even vacationed with Mashonda in 2014.
