This podcast, inspired by the cult Old Loves Tumblr is a love letter to the celebrity relationships we adored at the time but now have forgotten ever happened. Every week Chantal and Gráinne will be joined by a different celebrity guest to discuss the celebrity romance they never got over. So take our hand and stroll down memory lane, as we remember... The Way They Were...

Ho Ho HOOOOOOOO! It's the Yuletide season and the elves have been working around the clock to bring you a Christmas special episode of The Way They Were!

Yes, Grainne and Chantal had their annual IRL meet-up to discuss iconic romances from festive films and which celebrity couples they lament the break-up of in 2023, while also looking ahead to the new year and which showbiz partnerships look to be on the ropes.

Grainne does what she does best by giving us her take and a VERY deep dive into Christmas film cringe-fest, The Holiday... but do you agree with her hot takes? Give us a review with yours.

We'll see you in 2024, as the team are already booking in some incredible guests, all of whom are ready to share their celebrity break-up crush, but until then a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS from everyone at The Way They Were!
