On and Off Again: When Celebrity Couples Reunite - With the town still buzzing from the taping of the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards, Keyshia Cole was spotted at Jeezy's birthday bash (Sept. 30), and it has stirred up all kinds of questions about whether or not the two will get back together. The "Enough of No Love" singer has reportedly been on the outs with her NBA baller husband, Daniel "Boobie" Gibson, but does that mean she'd go creepin'? Sometimes, when a heart doesn't break even, the only way to heal is with the person who took it apart. Check out these other former flames who reunited to rekindle the fire.(Photos from left: Bennett Raglin/Getty Images,John Ricard/BET)
Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri - MJ's little sister seemed like she might have finally found love with music mogul Jermaine Dupiri.  However, after a seven year relationship the couple, who were never married, split in November of 2009. (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for NAACP)Dre and Christina Milian - Christina Milian hooked up with her then-boo Dre (one half of the hip hop production duo Cool & Dre) in an attempt to make her third studio album more R&B than pop. They delivered "Say I," which was infectious, but they also made filler-sounding tracks like "Gonna Tell Everybody." Dre even lent his vocals to "Hot Boy" and the title track "So Amazin'," but none really put Milian in her zone. (Photo: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for Grey Goose)

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta stars Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez have been releasing new material (“Mi Colta,” “Shotz”) in anticipation of her solo debut. We’ll pause here for your side-eye. Seriously though, these two tracks are proof that not all romantic relationships between artists can lead to chemistry in the studio. Steebie and Joseline are not alone, though. Check out this list of other failed collaborations between music couples.(Photo: Moses Robinson/Getty Images for BET)
