Celebrities Who Dumped Their Extremely Hot Partners (And Definitely Regretted It Later)

No one dates down. There’s no question that nearly everyone in Hollywood comes from the better half of the gene pool. But it’s no secret that some celebrities rank higher on the “hot or not” scale than others.

And people in the entertainment industry often choose to date among their A-list peers. Yet it’s a matter of time before a celebrity links up with a partner who’s way out of their league.

So from Katy Perry getting the boot from Russell Brand to Calvin Harris kicking Taylor Swift to the curb, these celebrities who dumped hot partners definitely regret their decision.

Oh Aaron Carter, what were you THINKING? Thinking that his status as an up-and-coming pop star would last forever, the younger Carter brother kicked Hilary Duff to the curb to link up with then-Disney starlet Lindsay Lohan.

Now, Carter keeps busy by making his ex “uncomfortable” by admitting that he still thinks about her, 10 years later. Talk about regret.

Someone needs to swoop in and give pop star Justin Bieber an intervention for letting Selena Gomez slip through his fingers…AGAIN.

Sadly for Bieber, his history of infidelity and bad boy party behavior came back to bite him and the on-again, off-again relationship with his super famous girlfriend finally came to an end (for good). Sorry, Biebs. 

Miley Cyrus And Liam Hemsworth

Miley Cryus’ split from Liam Hemsworth was so tragic, she gifted the world with the iconic breakup anthem “Wrecking Ball.” Certainly, Cyrus is attractive in her own right but she doesn’t hold a candle to Hemsworth’s impossible jawline and impressive facial hair.

  Thankfully for Cyrus, the duo reunited and are now stronger than ever. 

Lorde And James Lowe

For singer-songwriter Lorde, inner beauty is much more important than conventional, physical attraction in a parter.

After hooking up with photographer and fellow New Zealand native James Lowe (a man once deemed “too ugly” for the star by the Twitterverse) the duo called it quits after nearly three years of dating. Unfortunately for Lowe, it looks like he won’t be so lucky in his future romantic pursuits.
