CELEBRITIES going out on dates and having relationships never fail to capture the public’s imagination. Movie stars, top government officials, the super rich and, yes, sports heroes and personalities doing their thing together, are the kind of stuff fans and ordinary folk never tire of hearing about or wanting to know more about.

They want to know what’s going on in these celebrities’ lives, what their interests are, the food they eat, clothes they wear, movies they watch, cars they own, and houses they live in.

Vicariously, they’re into anything celebrity.

But many times, these celebrity couples do not in fact live happily ever after. All right, Susan-FPJ, Pacquiao-Jinky, Goma-Lucy are some exceptions.

In sports, many relationships among star athletes begin as though they would last forever. But years, or sometimes just months later, these seemingly happy partnerships begin to strain, snap, then crumble, and fans wonder: What in the world happened?

Tots Carlos & Ced Domingo

Long before they were teammates at Creamline, the country’s most powerful volleyball team, seven championships at last count, Tots Carlos and Ced Domingo were already an item. Their romance, also chronicled on social media, was eagerly followed, even while they were college stars playing in the UAAP. At one point it all ended, although they stayed as teammates until Ced left to play as an import in Thailand last year.
