TODAY NEWS REACHED us that Michelle Williams and Jason Segal have apparently ended their year old relationship.

Sad times. We liked them together and the pictures going around of him hanging out with her daughter Matilda were cute.

However, this is not the first time we’ve been burned by the demise of a celebrity relationship.

Whether you’re single or taken, sometimes you just want to live your love life vicariously through a couple of people more talented and beautiful than you, and when it goes bad it can be hard to take.

Here are 15 celebrity couples we wish had stayed together.

From 2005 to 2007 Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams took their Notebook romance off screen and we loved it. Obviously it would be better if they were single and available to us as the romantic leads in our lives, but if they have to be with someone we want them to be together. AP Photo/Reed Saxon

Diane Keaton and Al Pacino had an on-again off-again relationship during the filming of the Godfather trilogy, however, when production ended, so did the relationship. A pity. It would have been nice to see the two acting powerhouses grow old together. YouTube/Imran500

There's not much we can say about Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody other than the fact that it seemed like destiny. Real, true, romantic, destiny. This one's almost too hard to talk about. *sniff* YouTube/Jeff Tucker
