90s Model Celebrity Couples
-
Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield
In 1993, German model Claudia created magic with her "first love," millionaire magician David. But by 1999, their five-year engagement pulled a disappearing act.
-
Seal and Tyra Banks
Way before Seal was Heidi Klum's ex, he was gallivanting around town with 23-year-old Tyra. That was back in 1996. Reportedly, it was just a spicy, summer fling.
-
Johnny Depp and Kate Moss
It was love at first sight for Johnny and Kate, who met in 1994 at a CFDA Awards after party at Café Tabac. Unfortunately, the relationship fizzled four years later. Kate was so brokenhearted, she told Vanity Fair in 2012 that she went through "years and years of crying." So did we.
-
Christy Turlington and Christian Slater
In 1993, one of the highest-paid models hooked up with a Hollywood heavyweight. Basically, it's the equivalent of the prom queen dating the quarterback. It was really only a matter of time.
-
Axl Rose and Stephanie Seymour
The story of Axl and Stephanie reads like your typical rock romance. Axl first spotted the high-profile model on the cover of Playboy in 1991. She dropped her current boyfriend, Warren Beatty, and dove headfirst into a tumultuous two-year relationship with the Guns N' Roses front man. Their love affair ended in flames or, more accurately, in a double lawsuit where both claimed abuse. Ain't love grand?
-
Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford
Richard and Cindy were married from 1991 to 1995. He was 42, she was 25. We'll let you do the math.
-
Naomi Campbell and Robert De Niro
Naomi dated Robert in the early 90s, before he tied the knot with Grace Hightower. According to the rumor mill, jealousy issues tore them apart. "Everyone has a temper," she told The Guardian. "A temper is an emotion."
-
Eric Clapton and Carla Bruni
Eric is a love triangle magnet. First, there was that whole mess with Pattie Boyd and George Harrison. Then in the early 90s when he was two-stepping with the now former first lady of France, Mick Jagger cut in with his Casanova ways (while he was still married to Jerry Hall, no less). The moral of the story: Don't date musicians.
-
Linda Evangelista and Kyle MacLachlan
They were the PDA duo of the decade. But after six years of sucking face at fashion parties, Kyle pulled the plug. "We just drifted away from each other," he told the Daily Mail. "I didn't really want to get married as I couldn't see the point and the relationship wasn't really going anywhere." Burn.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Everyone
Seasoned modelizer Leonardo, who's been known to act occasionally, dated SEVEN leggy catwalkers in the 90s alone: Bridget Hall, Helena Christensen, Naomi Campbell, Kristen Zang (pictured), Bijou Phillips, Amber Valletta and Eva Herzigova. And to think, some men collect baseball cards.
