1. Leslie Man
Leslie Mann recently revealed that she was ghosted by David Duchovny over 25 years ago. The couple apparently hit it off while they were both working in Vancouver on separate projects, and David even asked Leslie to visit him on the set of “X-Files.” It wasn’t until Leslie invited David to a Halloween party she was having in her hotel room that things took a turn. The party went off without a hitch, but when Leslie invited David to join her and her best friend at a bar later that night, things got weird.
“After the party, we decided to go to a bar for a drink. We get in the taxi – David, my best friend, and me – and he stops the taxi, gets out of the taxi, runs away and doesn’t ” I won’t talk to myself for 27 years. For 27 years, my best friend and I talked about everything. What was wrong? What happened?” Leslie explained on “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”
When the duo reunited on the set of “The Bubble” several years later, Leslie finally got the closure she needed when David admitted he’d left the cab to get some weed in his room.
2. Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman may have become a ghost, but it all turned out okay! The actress admits that after first meeting her husband, Keith Urban, he ghosted her for months. Although Nicole chose not to explain why he didn’t call her for so long, she says everything is fine now and in the past.
“I had such a crush on him and he wasn’t interested in me. That’s right! He didn’t call me for four months… We’re here now and it’s fine. We don’t we don’t have to chop up all that stuff… I think he was shy,” Nicole said on “The Ellen Show.”

3. Lily Collins
Lily Collins admits that before she was married to husband Charlie McDowell, she ended up being ghosted by potential suitors on more than one occasion – even when she thought the date went really well.
“I’ve been ghosted more times than I care to admit. There are times when I’ve [been on dates and] I thought we had a good time and then I never heard from the guy again. Sometimes it happens after one appointment, a few appointments, or a month. I would prefer people to be honest with me, because I live like that. I don’t think it will be something that I will ever be able to understand,” Lily told Glamor UK.
4. Duck
Drake got a taste of his own medicine when he says he was ghosted by a woman many people assume to be Rihanna. The rapper explained that she suddenly “disappeared” from his life, much like he had to do with other women he’d dated in the past.
“I was a pawn. You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is showing them quality time, and then disappear. I was like, wow, this feels terrible,” Drake told The New York Times.

5. Jordan Sparks
Jordin Sparks dated Jason Derulo for several years prior to their split and although there were conflicting reports of their breakup, Jordin has hinted that she was essentially a ghost. She says the couple had a fight and although she thought they had worked things out, Jason stopped contacting her.
“We had an argument or this little tiff or whatever, and I apologized because I was like, ‘Okay, that got totally wrong. It got really awkward, so I was like, ‘Okay, I’m sorry, I’m sorry’ I asked him if we were good, and he said, ‘Yes, we are good.’ But he helped me carry my bag to the car, kissed me, told me he loved me, then stopped calling me,” Jordin said in “The Breakfast Club “.
6. Sean Penn
Sean Penn and Charlize Theron dated for over two years before they were allegedly ghosted by the actress. Although the couple never had details of their split, sources say Charlize ended things by not returning her calls and texts.
“Charlize wasn’t answering her calls and texts. She just cut off,” a source told Us Weekly.
Charlize then dismissed claims that she ghosted Sean, saying: “I still don’t know what [ghosting] it’s… We were a couple and then it didn’t work anymore. And we both decided to separate. That’s it.”
