Khloe Kardashian met Lamar Odom at a party for the basketball player’s teammate, Ron Artest. After only a month of dating, the couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony that was broadcasted on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Lasting longer than anyone expected, the reality star filed for divorce four years later after reports of Odom’s substance-abuse issues and cheating allegations surfaced.
Soon after Kaley Cuoco’s two-week relationship with Man of Steel star Henry Cavill ended, the actress created a big bang in the tabloids when she accepted tennis star Ryan Sweeting’s proposal after three months of dating. It only took three more months for the couple to say, “I do.” Ironically, the swoon-worthy duo bought Kardashian and Odom’s mansion. Hopefully they have better luck in the house than the Odom couple did!
Before her globetrotting brood of six with fiancé Brad Pitt, Jolie was married to bad boy Billy Bob Thornton after less than two months of dating. The two-year marriage took a weird turn when Jolie and Thornton debuted matching blood-vial necklaces.
When Mariah Carey arrived at the TriBeCa film festival with a 17-carat diamond ring on her left finger, rumors that the singer and Nick Cannon were engaged began to emerge. The couple proved the rumors true when they tied the knot after only six weeks of dating. Hopefully their marriage continues to go strong because their large matching back tattoos seem impossible to cover up!
Oops… she did it again! After a whirlwind Las Vegas marriage to Jason Alexander, which lasted only 55 hours, Britney Spears quickly jumped into marriage again with Kevin Federline. The couple got engaged five months after dating, and pushed their October wedding up to tie the knot quicker. The couple divorced two years later, only eight weeks after the birth of their second son, Jayden James.
Kris Jenner had better luck with whirlwind relationships than her daughters! After Kris’ blind date with former Olympian Bruce Jenner in 1991, the couple wed five months later. The marriage lasted 22 years before the couple announced their separation in 2013.
And the winner goes to… Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee! After four days (yes, four days!) of dating, the duo tied the knot in February of 1995. The Baywatch beauty filed for divorce in November of 1996, but took her hubby back 10 days later. After years of an on-again, off-again relationship, Anderson filed for divorce again in March of 1998. The pair continued to break up and get back together for years.
If you thought Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim’s Superman moniker for their son, Kal-El, is the weirdest thing about their relationship -- think again! The actor proposed to the former sushi waitress in February after two months of dating when she was only 20 years old! The couple said, “I do” in August of that year.
Singers? Check. Beautiful? Check. Long list of former spouses? Check! The duo seemed like the perfect couple when they tied the knot after less than six months of dating in 2004. Two kids and seven years later, they called it quits.
This time, the marriage was shorter than the engagement! Six months after showing off her basketball player boyfriend to the public, Kim Kardashian said yes to a proposal in her home. Only three months later, the duo tied the knot in a televised (and extremely over the top!) wedding ceremony, only to call it quits 72 days later.
