1980 – Paul Simon and Carrie Fisher

Paul Simon and Carrie Fisher are one of the Hollywood celebrity couples who seem to be a perfect match, yet still ended up splitting. Simon and Fisher’s relationship is tumultuous and difficult, yet they seem to be perfect for each other. They seem madly in love with each other, but circumstances led them apart. Here is a quick flashback of what transpired in their relationship.

Simon and Fisher first met in 1977, and he was already making waves in the music scene, while Fisher is yet to star in her breakthrough project, Star Wars. Though they did not date immediately, the two reunited after a year and eventually got comfortable with one another, and they made their relationship public sometime in 1980. Though Simon and Fisher have an on-and-off relationship, the usual cause of their misunderstanding and fights are mostly Fisher’s turbulent personality and vices. Their relationship cycle continued for several years until they decided to get married in 1983. Their marriage lasted for only one year as they sought help from their lawyers in 1984. As crazy as it seems, the two began dating again one year after their legal separation, and went on to their usual intermittent relationship for years until she finally bid her farewell to Simon after their trip to Brazil in the late 1980s.
