The music industry is a vast affair of diverse people interacting with each other at a daily basis. Most connections grow into something much deeper and profound; however, not all can survive the crazy business of love, and yes, music! Music enthusiasts or not, a little glimpse at the stories of these man-and-wife team would leave you thinking for their could-have-been-fairytales.
Ike and Tina Turner
King of Rhythms leader Ike Turner met young nurse’s assistant Anna Mae Bullock, whom later become the Tina Turner of the famous “The Ike and Tina Turner Revue.” Starting off as tight friends, their relationship progressed into romantic affair where the duo was eventually inducted into Rock and Roll of Fame in 1991 with their Grammy-winning hits of “It’s Gonna Work out Fine” and “Proud Mary.”
However, their love story turned sour with Ike being a cocaine addict and wife-beating rock star. Their relationship, from being friends to hottest man-and-wife team ended with Tina Turner filing a divorce in 1996 with a year of court visits on who takes which money and properties. Ike and Tina went in their separate ways not exchanging a single word to each other for 30 years up to Ike’s death at cocaine overdose at December 12, 2007.
Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears
Who haven’t heard of America’s cutest couple? JustNey love affair started in a tour with association of Ex-Pop Princess, Britney spears, to former NSYNC front man, Justin Timberlake, in 1999. However, the sweet, cute, romantic relationship did not make it to the altar when the couple broke it off in 2002 as Britney turned a new leaf. (And yes, the new leaf isn’t fresh.)
Justin released his single, “Cry Me A River” subsequent to their break-up, which led to rumors about Britney’s unfaithfulness. Eventually, Justin Timberlake married Jessica Biel in 2012 while Britney carried on her girl-gone-wild antics and only recently recovering.
Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love
Perhaps one of the most talked couple of all times even after two decades it happened. Cobain and Love’s love affair is surrounded with negative labels and theories. Founded through bonding of alcohol and substance addictions, theirs was never the fairytale from the very start. Both musicians of the grunge genre, where it was the hype of that time, it did not take long for the two to cross paths.
It was Love who made the first advances and Cobain, despite wanting to remain a bachelor, couldn’t resist Love’s – insane? – Charm. The two finally uttered I do’s at the Wakiki Beach where Cobain was donned in a charming (?) pajamas and Love in her pretty (another?) hand-me-down dress.

It was during this time that Cobain’s addiction to heroin worsened. However, in-between substance abuse, concerts, rehabilitations and chaotic marriage, their love has borne fruit, whom they named Frances Bean Cobain. The couple was first deemed unfit parents by the court, but then later gained custody through compromises that Cobain should undergo rehabilitation and Love ceasing her addiction with monthly social welfare visits.
They did and all is getting better until Cobain committed suicide in 1994. Mourners from around the world paid tribute for the rock deity. Cobain died burning out and not fading, fulfilling his wish. The embers of grunge start fading out and Courtney Love was being plagued by fans and conspiracy theorists as the murderer of her husband, Kurt Cobain.
