Breaking up can seem like the worst thing in the world when you're in a relationship, but sometimes calling it quits can be the wake-up call people need to realize that they've just lost the one person they actually want to be with for the rest of their lives. Or, you know, the next few months, until they break up again.

In the starry world of romance, second chances, and third-time's-the-charms, it's never too late to rekindle a flame. Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are a great example of that, as it was recently revealed that their relationship has been a lot rockier than it seems. When rapper August Alsina revealed he'd had a relationship with Jada, the Smiths addressed the rumors in an episode of 'Red Table Talk.' They revealed that the relationship had indeed occurred, but during a time when the couple had broken up and thought they'd never get back together.

Luckily, the Smiths got back together and now remain "relationship goals." But while breaking up can make couples stronger, there are many other couples who have fallen into a toxic pattern. Check out this gallery of celebrity couples who broke up only to get back together.
