1980s Celeb Couples You Completely Forgot Were An Item.

While some 1980s Hollywood couples like Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson or Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are still going strong, plenty of other star pairings from the decade have quietly faded from memory. Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr. began dating after meeting on the set of ‘Firstborn’ in 1984. At the time, Downey was rising fast in Hollywood, while Parker supported him through early career success and personal struggles. The relationship lasted several years before sadly ending in 1991. Then there’s Madonna and Sean Penn, who tied the knot in 1985 in a secret Malibu ceremony. Their relationship received major media attention and earned them the nickname the “Poison Penns” due to its volatility. The pair divorced in 1989, though Madonna later called Penn “the love of my life”. Finally, we have Tom Cruise and Cher, who reportedly met at Sean Penn and Madonna’s wedding before reconnecting at a White House event. The pair had a 16-year age gap, with Cruise being just 22 years old at the time.
