What celebrity couples have made you go “huh...”?

In the spirit of daft sleb twaddle, what celeb pairings have you read about and would never have thought of as a couple in a million years?

For example

Harry & Meghan- knew of her from Suits but when I read about her and Harry for the first time I just thought “now that’s random!”. Particularly given his previous history of exclusively dating blonde Sloaney types...

Elon Musk and Grimes- after showing a preference for gorgeous young actresses (Talulah Riley and Amber Heard) I wouldn’t have placed him with a quirky electro pop singer who makes vulva-shaped jewellery on the side.

Lily Allen and David Harbour (but they do seem very sweet together)
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston (RIP Tayto)
Kourtney Kardashian (I think that’s the right one) and Travis from Blink 182.
Phoebe Dynevor (from Bridgerton) and Pete Davidson (although he has a history of “huh” girlfriends- Kate Beckinsale for example)
Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green (who didn’t last very long to be fair)

This isn’t a criticism of any of these couples btw, if you’re happy you’re happy!

Anyone else read about a pair and thought “What? How??”

Back in my youth Joel madden from good Charlotte went out with Hilary duff from Lizzie McGuire.
That felt like an odd one, bit of an age gap too I remember thinking they looked mismatched at the time

Stacey Solomon and Steve-O (from Jackass) always surprised me. Think they were together a year or two.

Disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield and Elle MacPherson!

Oh yeah! I’d forgotten about them.

Didn’t Brad Pitt go out with some woman from a sort of grown-up Made In Chelsea type show as well?

Also Aaron Johnson and Sam Taylor Wood... although that was more because of the massive age gap and him being a teenager at the time.

Scott Disick and any of his newer girlfriends (and I am judgemental about these ones because it seems he exclusively dates teenagers since splitting with the Kardashian sister he was with!). Odd all round.

Pete Davidson and any of the glamorous and exceptionally attractive women he manages to find.
