Pulse List: 5 celebrity relationships that never made it to the altar

The idea for a lot of people is to get into a relationship and hopefully end up at the altar.

For many, this is called the 'last bus stop,' while for few, it may or may not lead to starting a new family.

Nigerian celebrities are known for showing off their relationships on social media, giving fans the idea of what a perfect relationship should look like.

Even though some of these couples may look perfect on the outside, there's always this dark cloud that most times submerges these 'God when' relationships.

On our list today, we will be looking at five celebrity relationships that never made it to the last bus stop.
