10 Celebrity Couples Who Had to Keep Working Together After Breaking Up (5 of 6)

8. Milo Ventimiglia & Hayden Panettiere

Before he became America’s comfort-dad on This Is Us, Milo was a lead on Heroes alongside Hayden Panettiere. They began dating in 2007 and kept the relationship private, likely due to their noticeable age difference at the time, which drew public attention and raised questions, even though it was within the law. Not illegal, but definitely in the creep territory. They split in 2009 but still had to film together until the series wrapped in 2010. Milo later implied “dating coworkers” wasn’t a sequel he wanted.

9. Dwayne Johnson & Dany Garcia

The Rock and Dany Garcia ended their decade-long marriage in 2007, then continued building an empire together because, apparently, the only thing stronger than love is a lot of money. They’ve kept collaborating on major projects, including films she’s executive-produced. Johnson has been blunt that it takes work, maturity, and effort that most people don’t feel like doing. They also share a daughter, Simone Alexandra Johnson, so teamwork wasn’t optional.
