Some celebrity love stories are sweet, some are messy, and some are so extra they practically become their own headline. From tattoos and songs to billboards and public declarations, these couples did not exactly keep things low-key.

This roundup looks at 16 wild things celebrities did in the name of love, with Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Cardi B, and more making the list. Some gestures were romantic, some were chaotic, and a few were just plain unforgettable.

3. Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee

These crazy kids got hitched after knowing each other for only four days. Dr. Terri Orbuch, a relationship researcher and author, states, "Love at first sight can lead to impulsive decisions, but it can also spark a deep connection if both partners are willing to explore it." This highlights how quick decisions in love can sometimes lead to meaningful relationships.

7. Then Ariana Grande put a song called "Pete Davidson" on her album

Tattoos can be covered up or lasered off, but track listings may be a bit more difficult to get rid of...

Wedding rumors can get messy fast, just ask Zendaya’s mom, Claire Stoermer, after a stylist claimed she secretly married Tom Holland.

8. Robin Thicke & Paula Patton

Robin Thicke released Paula, an album in tribute to his estranged wife, Paula Patton. This grand gesture was a flop, and she still filed for divorce.

9. Angelina Jolie & Billy Bob Thornton

Thornton and Jolie were married in early 2000 for three years. The two were famously known for wearing vials of each other's blood around their necks.

"The necklaces were a very simple thing: 'Hey, let's poke our fingers with a pen and smear a little blood on there, and when we're away from each other, we'll wear the necklace,'" Thornton said. "It was that easy. But by the time it came out in the press, it sounded like we were wearing a bucket of blood around our necks."angelinavoightjolie

10. Serena Williams & Alexis Ohanian

Taking a page from Drake's book, Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, purchased four billboards to welcome Williams back to tennis. Four whole-ass billboards.

11. Taylor Swift & Conor Kennedy

Swift purchased a $4.9 million dollar home next door to her then-boyfriend's family compound. Relationship expert Dr. Helen Fisher notes, "Buying a home together can signify a deep commitment, but it can also complicate relationships if the bond isn't strong." Unfortunately, they split before the sale was finalized.

12. Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes

Back in 2005, Tom Cruise, unable to contain his excitement, literally jumped on Oprah's couch during an interview, all while professing his love for Katie Holmes.

13. Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck

Back in 2002, Affleck took out a page-long ad in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter to congratulate Lopez.

"You have shown kindness, dedication, diligence, humility, graciousness of spirit, beauty in courage, great empathy, astonishing talent, real poise, and true grace... It has been nothing but an honor and a pleasure to work with you. I only wish I were lucky enough to be in all your movies. With love, respect, and gratitude, Ben Affleck."

This dude has been crushing on her for over ten years.

14. Cardi B & Offset

Guess everyone is doing the whole-ass billboard thing now. Alright then.

15. Johnny Depp & Vanessa Paradis

In 2007, it was reported that Depp purchased a vineyard estate in France for his long-term girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis. Because why buy a fancy bottle at a restaurant when you can buy all the grapes to make your own fancy wine?

MGK proposed to Megan Fox with a ring he helped design, featuring an intentional design to "hurt" if she ever takes it off.
