Mere minutes ago, I was sitting in class when I received a CNN update that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who once rocked the world with their illicit love affair following co-starring in the blockbuster hit "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," had filed for divorce. I immediately began to tear up the Internet, looking for whatever curse of hell could’ve torn apart the couple that has given us nothing but hope for the past twelve years. Tabloid after tabloid touted that it was an affair, it was the children, it was a drinking problem—I didn’t care. I just wanted to know why 2016 had to bring us another gut-wrenching tragedy.

As I scrolled aimlessly through Twitter, feeling like an asset to be divided in this horrendous disunion of matrimony, I stumbled upon something that dredged from within the coals of my heart a tiny spark that has seemingly reignited a flame of hopelessly romantic passion for celebrity couples: a tweet from Ryan Reynolds about his wife, Blake Lively. My soul took flight as I remembered that, despite today’s tragic events, there are couples in Hollywood that still set #goals for us romantic plebians.
