Looking Back
Onscreen Romances That Didn’t Make It To The After Show (Together)
What were they thinking? Maybe they did it for the money, the fame, or for true love, but why would anyone submit themselves, let alone their relationship, to the unforgiving pressures of reality television? Just in time for Valentine's Day, let's reflect on some of the more public failed showmances. From the Newlyweds “Chicken of the Sea” incident to Bachelor Pad drama, Snakkle looks back on some ill-fated love affairs, reality TV show matches (or mismatches) and marriages that didn’t survive real life.

Kris Humphries & Kim Kardashian in 2011
In 2007, Kim Kardashian and her family started Keeping Up With The Kardashians, a wildly popular reality TV series that followed their every overdramatized move. When she started dating professional basketball player, Kris Humphries, in December of 2010, it looked like a match made in reality show and real life heaven. Note the K. It wasn’t long before Kris joined the cast, proposed marriage and the two were married in August of 2011. After an extravagant wedding (which coincided with the release of her “Kim Kardashian In Love” fragrance) and a mere 72 days of married life, she filed for divorce. The question on everyone’s lips: was it real or just for reality TV?
