Cher and Val Kilmer
Pop star Cher and actor Val Kilmer met in 1981 and the two quickly fell in love. Cher said: “He’s like nobody I’ve ever known. He is exasperating and hysterical. Thrilling and funny, and doesn’t do what anyone else does.” Even more than 40 years after their breakup, she said: “I don’t know how we stayed friends, we just did. We didn’t try. We just were.”

Michael Jackson and Brooke Shields
In 1981, Michael Jackson and Brooke Shields were linked to each other, though Shields has said that their relationship was platonic. Still, Jackson asked her to marry him on multiple occasions and even adopt a child together, but as time went on, she said he became more asexual towards her.
