Public celebrity kisses tend to cause a reaction. Sometimes the reaction is like "Aww, how sweet." Like when Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony kissed at the 2016 Latin Grammys, even though they were divorced. Other times the reaction is like, "Wait, what?!" Like when Madonna and Christina Aguilera kissed. Sometimes we might even be a little envious when the object of the celebrity's affection is an animal, like when an adorable hippo got a kiss from Salma Hayek.
