VH1 Couples Therapy will be returning with a brand new batch of troubled celebrity relationships next year.

VH1 has unveiled the identities of the nine celebrities who will be starring in the fourth season of VH1 Couples Therapy, which is scheduled to premiere in January 2014.

With Dr. Jenn Berman reprising her role as host and therapist, VH1 Couples Therapy's fourth season will feature high-profile couples undergoing over two weeks of intensive therapy to try to save their complex relationships instead of calling it quits. The participants will face "very complicated issues never before discussed on the show," according to the network.  

This season's couples will be former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong and fiance John Bluher, former The Real L Word stars Whitney Mixter and Sada Bettencourt, former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin and girlfriend Liz Janetta, and rapper Dennis Coles -- better known as Ghostface Killah -- and his significant other Kelsey Nykole.

In addition, the show will feature Teen Mom star-turned-porn star Farrah Abraham appearing by herself. Abraham will be on VH1 Couples Therapy alone because VH1 said her partner -- which it did not name -- was "a no-show."

However, earlier this year, an aspiring actor named Carson Underwood claimed the Teen Mom star begged him to be in a pretend relationship so they could star in a reality show together. The pair had allegedly only met at a Los Angeles party and texted back and forth for several months leading up to Abraham's business offer.

"She was using me more as her boyfriend and representing me to VH1 as her boyfriend. I notified them and I said I don't know where she came up with this," Underwood told Hollywood Life in March, adding that Abraham had blocked him on Facebook and Twitter after he had refused to join her on the show.

"She took the relationship and exploited it. It was an attack on my credibility as a human being. [But] in the end, I wish her all the best and I hope she places priorities on her daughter. We never dated, I met her once for a few hours, I found her to be interesting. It just erupted into this whole other nightmare."

A source also told RadarOnline in April the couple met at an American Music Awards after-party in 2012 and "stayed in touch." Abraham reportedly just wanted to get more publicity and boost her career.

"She sent him a confidentiality agreement and it had all these clauses about how he would just be 'work for hire.' He was never really interested in Farrah, and certainly not interested in faking a relationship with her," the source told RadarOnline.

"The entire thing was orchestrated by Farrah and her team just to keep her relevant. Her only [TV] offer was from VH1 but she didn't have a boyfriend, so she tried to find someone. Farrah is willing to do anything to make money and stay famous, as you can tell by the fact that she ended up resorting to porn!"

As for Armstrong and Bluher, the pair just got engaged in August of this year. Armstrong told E! News this past summer she was "happier than I have ever been." She had also called Bluher the love of her life dating back to November 2012.

Dr. Berman, a nationally renowned relationship therapist, will have the pairs participate in group and individual therapy along with relationship exercises out in the real world to see if they can get their love back on track or should part ways.

VH1 Couples Therapy is produced by Irwin Entertainment and executive produced by John Irwin, Damian Sullivan, Rob Buchta, Sudi Khosropur, Susan Levison, Jill Holmes, and Laurel Stier.
