Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth wouldn't be the first.

Following reports that the former couple is getting cozy again after ending their engagement two years ago, fans are eager to see if the duo is set to pick up where they left off.

The 23-year-old singer and the 25-year-old Hunger Games star are in a position that quite a few celebs have found themselves in before.

We're not talking about the on-again, off-agains (looking at you, Katy Perry and John Mayer.)

We mean the stars who called it quits and later realized they just couldn't stay apart.

These are the celeb splits that ended up bringing these famous lovebirds even closer together after reconciling.

1. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

Now married and parents to an adorable baby boy, Silas, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel had a relationship hiccup (or was is fate?) when the pair split in 2011, only to later get engaged and tie the knot the following year.

After their "hurtful" 2011 split, a newly single Timberlake said of Biel: "She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life."

"In my 30 years, she is the most special person," he added.

No wonder the two later ended up back together and taking the plunge—it appears they never really stopped caring for each other.

2. NeNe Leakes and Gregg Leakes

For NeNe Leakes and her husband Gregg, the second time was a charm when the Real Housewives of Atlanta star re-married her ex-husband in 2013.

The couple had divorced in 2011 after nearly 14 years of marriage together.

Sometimes a little time away is all it takes.

3. Prince William and Kate Middleton

Did you forget about that 2007 split between Prince William and Kate Middleton?

We nearly did, too.

Though it only lasted two months and the pair later married and have since had two children, their hiatus was reportedly due in part to Prince William's partying ways. Now it all seems like a distant memory.

4. Pink and Carey Hart

Though they took a break after two years of marriage, Pink and Carey Hart came back even stronger in 2009.

"He couldn't live without me!" Pink said of her hubby, with whom she now has a 4-year-old daughter, Willow.

"She drove me so crazy that I missed her," Hart admitted after their reunion.

5. Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus

One celeb example of a couple making it work that's sure to strike a chord with Miley? Her own parents!

Though Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus have come close to divorce, in both 2010 and 2013, the pair credits couples therapy as the thing that got their relationship back on track.

With her parents among those who have managed to rekindle their romance, it appears Miley and Liam may be the next celeb duo to give things another go.
