Who are two Hollywood figures who seemingly can't get along yet still keep working together?

My vote goes to Kevin Costner and Kevin Reynolds. The tension apparently goes back to their Robin Hood days:

"The producers, one of them being Kevin Reynolds' longtime friend, Kevin Costner, took over the editing of this movie, going to the extent of physically locking the original editor, Peter Boyle, out of the editing suite. However, they were contractually obligated under Directors' Guild rules to show their cut to Reynolds. He was less than impressed with what they'd done to his movie."

Then Costner hired him again to direct Waterworld and there's yet more tension:

"It is rumored that director Kevin Reynolds and Kevin Costner had a huge squabble over the film, resulting in Reynolds walking off the project, and leaving Costner to take over directing and oversee editing. Reynolds was quoted as saying that "Kevin Costner should only star in movies he directs. That way, he can work with his favorite actor and favorite director".

You'd think that would be the end of their relationship but nope, Reynolds directed three episodes of Hatfields and McCoys, apparently in such a leisurely manner that Costner had to take over to speed things along:

"Kevin Costner directed some scenes himself to help speed the schedule along, having a longtime working relationship with series director Kevin Reynolds."

Anyways I find it odd that these two can't seem to quit each other.
