VICKI BELO & HAYDEN KHO

Coupling: In his March 22, 2007 column, showbiz writer Ricky Lo wrote, "If you believe Dra. Vicki Belo, 50, her new boyfriend Dr. Hayden Kho, 24 years her junior, is a dream come true." Meanwhile, in an interview with Lifestyle Asia, Vicki gushed, "I feel so lucky, I don't feel the age gap. I'm young. He's mature. He makes me laugh." For his part, Hayden said, "I get to be her hero and she gets to be my princess."

Match up: The age difference didn't seem to matter, as Vicki and Hayden were both doctors and seemed to want the same things. Though there was some rumored tension between Hayden and Vicki's children, the pair rallied on. Perhaps, Vicki's vision was to fire up Hayden's popularity so he could bring in more clients for the Belo Medical Group. As such, Hayden joined Celebrity Duets in late 2007.

Breaking points: After his Celebrity Duets stint, Hayden was linked to actress Katrina Halili, whom he met on the show. All throughout 2008, there were rumors that the two had a sex video. They denied it—“but Hayden's suicide attempt indicated that something was amiss. Then, in May 2009, Hayden's infamous sex videos were leaked on the Net. The first installment featured him and Katrina practicing their Celebrity Duets number, "Careless Whisper." They were "dressed" for the part. More videos leaked after that and all hell broke loose.

Hayden Kho apologizes for the sex video scandal.

Famous words: "Inaamin ko na ang ako ang may pagkakamali," said Hayden in an interview with showbiz reporter Lhar Santiago. This, of course, was an understatement.

Current status: Hayden is exploring other pursuits since he was stripped of his medical license by the Professional Regulation Commission for his on-camera antics. Making a guest appearance on Startalk, Vicki told host Butch Francisco that she and Hayden were through. "No texting, no calling, no seeing, zero anything," she explained.

Love lesson learned: If a guy seems too good to be true, he probably is.

ASSUNTA DE ROSSI & JULIO "JULES" LEDESMA IV

Coupling: The two met in 2002 and their romance became fodder for tabloid news. They got married in civil rites that same year. Assunta was only 21 then, while Jules was 41. They had a lavish church wedding in 2004.

Match up: She was a sexy ingénue who came from a middle class background. He was a quirky-looking widower with two kids who descended from one of the country's landed families. Their height disparity alone made tongues wag. Breaking points: Assunta's family—“as well as her fans—“were not into Jules. There were also those who said that Assunta was only after Jules' money. On top of this, the couple also had to deal with the kidnapping of Jules' children.

Assunta de Rossi denies persistent rumors about breakup with Rep. Ledesma.

Famous words: "I did not commit a sin when I married Jules. I did not commit adultery. I did not sell myself. I did not become a prostitute. I did not grab him from anybody. My only fault is I fell in love," said Assunta, who was seemingly surprised why the rest of the world could not see what she saw in Jules.

Current status: Assunta and Jules are still going strong. Theirs may seem like a bad romance to the rest of us, but they're making it work. Go figure. Love, after all, defies logic. In any case, Assunta has not gone back to her frenetic showbiz schedule. Jules, on the other hand, has been cited for his absenteeism in Congress.

Love lesson learned: Fighting for your love is easier when your combination of looks (hers) and land (his) can make everyone shut the hell up.
