non-monogamous relationship from the 1800s. You may know Mary Shelley as the writer and creator of Frankenstein, but her love life really was stranger than fiction!

Enter Percy Shelley, the devilishly handsome poet and advocate of ‘free-love.’ Percy’s already married when he meets young Mary, and they declare their love for each other in the most fitting of places: a graveyard.

Aliens, vampires, cults, Scientologists… It’s all here for a spooky season episode of Significant Lovers! We’re going back to the early ‘90s when actor Tom Cruise, already married and dabbling in the cult of Scientology, met and fell for actress Nicole Kidman.

Tom and Nicole quickly dropped their partners and began a passionate, whirlwind romance, and she even showed a mild curiosity in Tom’s new religion. But unbeknownst to them, Nicole had been labeled a “Suppressive Person” and potential threat to Scientology.

Is that why, after their eventual divorce, Nicole no longer sees her two children she shares with Tom? We’ll never really know, but join us as we revisit Interview with the Vampire, Eyes Wide Shut, and some truly crazy moments between this iconic couple.

It’s 2017 and Selena Gomez is the most followed person on Instagram. Her brand is evolving to be more mature and sexier, enhanced by her new relationship with the mysterious Abel Tesfaye (aka: The Weekend). Oh no—queue the conspiracies that this was a PR contract.

By all accounts, this relationship seemed to be evolving sweetly until it was abruptly interrupted by Selena’s ex Justin Bieber crawling back one last time. But is that the full story?

Join us as we dissect their full ten-month timeline. We’re talking about that awkward grey area of dating the ex of someone in your social circle who you’re not THAT close with (ahem, Bella Hadid). Plus, we touch on the impact of going through something intense, like Selena’s transplant, in the early stages of a relationship. Finally, we are asking once again, do some celebrity couples REALLY fake their relationships? Listen and decide for yourself!
