Celeb Couples: Rebounds We Love!

These couples had very public break-ups...and very public post-split hook-ups. All of them seem happier now, and that's why we love these "rebound" couples.

We love these "rebound" couples!

When we discuss rebounds with our girlfriends, we don't mean stupid basketball. Obviously a rebound is the guy you go out with after a troubled breakup, but not all rebounds are one night stands, short-term "placeholders" to get you over your broken heart, or bad for you.

Some rebound guys turn into The Guy, and save you from becoming a bitter-about-men crazy cat lady. We chose these Hollywood rebounds because they seem genuinely happy and, in more ways than one, meant for each other.

Why we love Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon. Because not only did he comfort her through her divorce, he’s totally into her kids. Both are successful A-listers, but both seem humble and live life just like us, biking, dining and holding hands. They're dreamy together.

Why we love Tom Brady and Giselle Bundchen. Because they are the hottest couple on the face of the earth! This real-life (but not plastic) Ken and Barbie pair are always seen at dinner, smiling and affectionate with one another. Glamorous.

Why we love Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson. Because this dynamic pair is the ultimate athletic powerhouse--a cycling champion and a yoga fanatic. Lance needed to be tamed (he's been with a lot of ladies), and Kate's no-BS vibe seems perfect for him. Talk about a power couple.

Why we love Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel.  Because even with their conflicting schedules, they make it work, and they look so good together. Justin revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that he is the “happiest he’s ever been” with Jess. So sweet!
