There are plenty of celebrities who continue to date “regular people” even though they’ve hit stardom. Louis Tomlinson‘s girlfriend, Eleanor Calder, just graduated; Bella Thorne‘s boyfriend, Tristan Klier, was an unknown before he linked up with the Shake It Up! star; Liam Payne‘s main squeeze, Sophia Smith, who was she? Then there are other celebrities who went totally high-profile with their relationships since being struck with the fame bug.
Today, we’re taking a look back at some of the “regular people” stars dated before they were famous because, you know what, non-famous people deserve some attention, too!
Caitlin Beadles
FAMOUS EX: Justin Bieber
Since splitting with his first girlfriend, Caitlin, sometime in 2009, the "Baby" singer's been linked to countless amounts of women; most notoriously, Selena Gomez.
Lyndell Locke
FAMOUS EX: Beyonce
The two reportedly dated for NINE years before they broke up... because he cheated on her! Now, he supposedly majorly regrets it. Biggest duh ever.
Sara Hicks
FAMOUS EX: Taylor Lautner
In between famous flings — with Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift — the Twilight star was caught rushing back to his high school sweetheart, Sara. Wonder if the same will happen if/when things come to an end with Marie Avgeropoulos.
Sam Armstrong
FAMOUS EX: Taylor Swift
Ever heard T.Swift's "Should've Said No?" You can probably thank Sam for that as he supposedly cheated on her and broke her heart. Guessing she's way over him though what with her worldwide success and trail of famous exes.
Victoria Loi
FAMOUS EX: Ross Lynch
She's played Ross' love interest in the early R5 music videos, and was apparently his love IRL too. But that love was doomed as fame got to be too much for 'em to handle together.
Kelly Blatz
FAMOUS EX: Blake Lively
The two were childhood friends until Kelly "finally came around" in 2004. That is, until Blake met Penn Badgley and lived happily ever after... until they also split and she hooked up with (and married!) Ryan Reynolds.
Felicity Skinner
FAMOUS EX: Harry Styles
Long before Haylor was even a glimmer, Harry was in love with a girl named Felicity, His "first love," actually.
Cameron Mitchell
FAMOUS EX: Demi Lovato
Recognize him? He was on The Glee Project! After Demi realized it, she tweeted, "Oh my god... just saw my first boyfriend ever on the glee project... Just died!!! Small world!!!! Hahahaha." He says she was in the seventh grade at the time, while he was a little older.
Mandy VanDuyne
FAMOUS EX: Joe Jonas
In case you were ever wondering where the Jonas Brother song "Mandy" came from...
Dillon Moore
FAMOUS EX: Victoria Justice
At least it ended amicably. This picture was taken a short while ago when they ran into each other!
