Next: Movies in which actors are paired with their real-life exes.

I’m at a loss…

Me, too. I can only think of one in which they were exes at the time; if you mean films with people who later split, I can come up with quite a few more.

Do that. I don’t want the game to stop.

Yes, do that. In all honesty, I thought there were more.
