11 Iconic Power Couples of the 90s
Discover 11 couples who left their mark on the Hollywood world of the 90s.
The 90s have become so deeply embedded in our culture that even though years have passed, we still try to imitate them today. Perhaps it's the fashion sense that makes this decade so iconic – chokers, mom jeans, biker shorts and so much more. Perhaps what seems magical to us is that the 90s were the last “analog” years before the internet truly took over. We miss those years when we knew better how to stay in the moment, when physical maps were still used during trips, and our photos were taken with our 35mm film cameras.
Of course, we miss not only the maps and our cameras, but also the agendas of the A-list celebrities of the time! For example, when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston started dating in 1998, everyone was obsessed with them (and equally devastated when they broke up in 2005). Kate Moss and Johnny Depp were another iconic couple of the period and their names were mentioned a lot. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were, of course, the most notable couple of the '90s and the most imitated on Halloween. There are also couples that we forget were even couples, such as Minnie Driver and Matt Damon, Liv Tyler and Joaquin Phoenix, Matthew McConaughey and Sandra Bullock. And then there are those who stand the test of time and defy all Hollywood expectations, like Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick ...
How about going on a nostalgia tour with Hollywood's 90s couples that we never get tired of talking about?
Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, the icons of '90s relationships, met in 1989, got engaged after five months of dating, and broke up in 1993. During this time, the duo shot Tim Burton's iconic film Edward Scissorhands together, and Johnny Depp's "Winona Forever" tattoo became a hot topic at the time.
Like most Hollywood romances, Ethan and Uma's love story began on a movie set. The duo met during the filming of the 1997 movie Gattaca, got married in 1998 and welcomed their daughter Maya (you may recognize them from Stranger Things ) in the same year. Four years later, their son Levon Roan was born and the couple separated in 2003.
Tom and Nicole, who were married for 11 years (almost a lifetime by Hollywood standards), met on the set of the 1990 movie Days of Thunder and got married at the end of that year. The couple adopted two children named Isabella and Connor, and the movie "Eyes Wide Shut", which they shot together in 1999, was their jubilee. The couple broke up acrimoniously in 2001.
Demi Moore and Bruce Wills, two of the biggest stars of the 90s, met in 1987 and remained married until 1998. Bruce Wills was in the middle of the “Die Hard” series at the time and Demi Moore had just released Ghost. The couple had three daughters during their time together. Demi Moore's second marriage was with Ashton Kutcher, who is known as the power couple with Mila Kunis today.
Even though they are known as the 90s couple, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, who are on our agenda again, especially due to Britney Spears ' new book, started dating in 1998.
The couple split three years later in 2001, and Justin Timberlake apologized for what he said about Britney shortly after the split.
Brad and Jen were talked about so much in the 90s that they became like residents of our home. The duo's first date was arranged by their managers in 1998. After the couple got married in 2000 and separated unexpectedly in 2005, the "Brangelina" couple was born.
Richard and Cindy, one of the most suitable couples of the 90s, met in 1988 when Cindy was 22 and Richard was 39. The couple married in Las Vegas in 1991 but divorced four years later in 1995.
A timeless couple, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick met on a theatre stage in New York in 1991 and have been together ever since. Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays hopeless romantic Carrie Bradshaw.
David and Victoria, one of the iconic couples of the 90s who are still together, first crossed paths in 1997, when David was a Manchester United player and Victoria was a member of the Spice Girl group. The couple had four children during their nearly 25-year relationship. They are no longer just the power couple of the 90s, they are the power couple of all time!
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been together since 1994 and got married in December 1997. The duo met on the set of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and have two children together, Jaden and Willow Smith (who you may recognize from last year's favourite reels, "Wait a Minute!" ).
These two Hollywood stars fell in love while filming the 1996 movie "A Time to Kill" and were together until 1998. Sandra revealed in a 2003 interview that the two were still friends.
