Summer 2015 Wasn't So Bad For These Celeb Couples

by Daniela Cabrera

Summer love is notorious for being fleeting, which makes it not seem so bad when your bi-coastal boo has to return back home after a summer break. But what really hurts is when long-term couples breakup over the summer, putting a dark, looming cloud over what should have been a fun and sun-filled few months. The summer of 2015, especially, showed no mercy when it came to love, and many of my favorite, well-known celeb couplings bit the dust. Although many didn't make it, I want to stay optimistic, so I'm choosing to end the year by celebrating the many celebrity couples who did to survive the 2015 summer of breakups.

In Hollywood, any couple that stays together for more than six months has made quite the achievement. It's difficult to find someone who can grow with you in the spotlight and stand the fame, especially if you aren't in the same industry or aren't at the same level of success, but plenty of celeb couples have done just that. Unfortunately, plenty of these couples also couldn't make it last past whatever was in the air this summer.

Personally, I am still lighting a candle that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner will get back together, because they just make sense. But now that summer is over and winter bae snuggling time is here, let's take a look at 29 celeb couples who survived the summer of 2015, and who will reassure you that it's OK to still believe in love.

29. Cameron Diaz & Benji Madden

I had some qualms after Madden debuted a massive "Cameron" tattoo across his chest, but the two lovebirds are now married and still going strong, and quite frankly, I am very happy about that because Diaz deserves it.

I know Hollywood isn't always the easiest place to stay in a happy relationship, but these couples sure are doing something right! (At least, for now.)
