"He stormed out once when I didn't want to, you know, become the mother of his children. After that, I stopped responding to him, and he ended up low-key stalking me for a couple of months when he was in town. The last I heard from him was him contacting me on social media that he had just shown up at my apartment, and an older man answered the door (I had moved). 

The last thing he messaged me after I told him I had moved and had a boyfriend now, so I wasn't available to hook up, was that I should be the mother of his children, and instead of being with my boyfriend, I should be getting my pussy eaten by him right now. I thought it was a fitting end to our tryst and closed that social media account to avoid him."

"I ended up texting the actress out of the blue, and we got to chatting and kind of hit it off. We finally grab that drink one weekend and end up back at her place. Turns out she had a long-term boyfriend, but that they had an 'agreement.' There was a mutual ghosting after that. Nothing exciting happened, but the one night was really fun, definitely one of those 'no one will ever believe you' stories."

"She was living in a shared house, so the living room was a communal space and all her personal stuff was in her bedroom. She didn't expect to take him back, so she didn't 'sanitize' it beforehand (and by 'sanitize,' I mean literally take his poster off her wall). She had to do the whole 'Errr...just wait here for a few minutes whilst I get things ready!' and then rushed around, flipping her mousepad over so he wouldn't see his face on it.

It all went well, and they were together for a little while before deciding just to be friends (they're still good friends)."

"TBH, he was a total jerk, and had I not been 19 at the time, I'd have laughed in his face."

"The couple of times I visited her in her country, we spent most of our time in the hotel or in places where her privacy could be guaranteed.

Eventually, she just quietly withdrew from the public eye and moved to my country. We've been married for seven years now, and I'm constantly on the lookout for signs that her talents got passed on to either or both of our kids. Honestly, I expected us to fall apart, so this was a happy surprise. None of my friends or family thought it would last because she's Chinese and I'm Canadian. My Mandarin was functional at the time, and so was her English, so we communicated through a hybrid of Chinese, English, and Google Translate. My Mandarin has improved a lot because of her, and her English has improved because of our kids."

"I also eventually noticed that she wouldn’t let on that we were dating. She always said she was single, so that was why she had all these women hitting on her wherever we went. It felt like a game, and I didn’t want to play.

After we broke up, she started dating a jazz musician who thought she was more popular than she actually was. It was very comical seeing them out in public together, trying to see who could get the most attention. I was amazed that they could both fit their big heads in the same car."

"Eventually, his career was too major to have a serious girlfriend. He played for over a decade and retired recently. It's kind of fun teasing my now husband that I could have been a basketball wife and thrown water in someone's face."

"I liked him, but I couldn’t hand over my financial security for a guy I barely knew. I tried to slow things down, and he took it super personally. Then he wrote a song about me (which made me sound like a jerk), and it played on the radio constantly for the next few months. I know he wrote it about me because he left me a voicemail of him recording it in the studio."

"I put up with it for a while because she was okay with me seeing other people in the meantime (I only did once, and I didn't enjoy it). And dating a celebrity has its bonuses. She paid for almost everything, and we went on some fun trips. But I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone out there for the long term. From what I saw, every celebrity in their twenties is basically cheating 24/7."

"I'm not going to lie, having your spouse bankroll your law degree at one of the better law schools in the world is an immense privilege. Though balancing law school with a very busy partner is its own challenge.

Also, social media matters. The amount of endorsement deals care about social media, and how finicky the damn algorithms are. I've spent a lot of time helping craft posts. We both hate it, but it's the price you pay. I also have to censor myself on social media. No one likes the trophy partner who 'gets mouthy' on Twitter."

"I have a very non-metal job and still listen to pop music, and he can be pretty wacky in a This Is Spinal Tap sort of way. But it works for us. I keep him from acting too weird, and he keeps me from being too basic. Even after all this time, I still get surprised when people ask for photos with him. I'm like, 'Omg, honey, they know who you are!' I guess once you've seen a person poop, it's hard to think of them as a celebrity."

"One time, there was even a reporter from a magazine who would just follow us around, even when we asked her to leave us alone. It was just really uncomfortable all around. We broke it off when I left California with my family. We still talk occasionally, but she's always busy with content and that super fast-paced lifestyle."

"He would randomly text me when he was in my area for a couple of years after that, but I never really talked to him again."

"The whole thing sounded wildly creepy to me. It’s not hard to imagine how they started viewing women as nothing more than objects in situations like that."
