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??”

@littlemissminor

Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly
Ah, I think they're quite sweet, in a bad Barbie sort of way. Plus I'm glad she isn't with Brian Austin Green anymore as he always seemed a bit boring.

Peter Andre and his elegant but stuck up, wife.
Met them both recently, he was lovely, she was rude to everyone.

Is Richard armitage Gay? I'm not sure it's ever been confirmed

I didn’t know that Michael Sheen had dated Aisling Bea, and on googling I also learned that he dated Sarah Silverman. He gets about, doesn’t he?!
Also Michael Sheen and everyone I've ever heard he's with. He seems nice enough, he must be very charming I think.
One assumes rumours of his sexual prowess are widely spread and true 😂

Fascinating thread.

Chritian Horner And Geri Halliwell - especially as he had only just had a baby with his previous partner.

@IHaveBrilloHair

I like Shawn Mendes too. Very talented and seems lovely.

I've just today booked to see the Bon Jovi cinema show next week, (wanted Friday, but could only get Tuesday)

Yes, I saw they were doing this. I can get tickets for Thursday locally but I can’t do Thursday. 😭. I might look a bit further away then.
I’ve seen them in concert a few times, back in about 1993 originally, they’re so good. And Jon seems a nice guy, lots of charity work and his own foundation that helps homeless and vulnerable people.
Definitely my favourite band. My partner knows I would leave him for Jon 🤣

Enjoy the show.

bananamonkey · 08/06/2021 21:11

Richard Armitage is gay? And Victor Garber? How didn’t I realise this?! 🤯 And I used to read a LOT of celeb twaddle, although not for ages since giving up the DM sidebar of shame so I’m living vicariously through this thread 😁

The Grimes/EM one is definitely weird, his ex-wife’s interviews are interesting...

Whitewolf2 · 08/06/2021 21:12

David Schwimmer and Tina from S club 7!

MrsBongiovi · 08/06/2021 21:12

I genuinely think that if Blunt and Krazinski spilt, I'd be more gutted than I was about the demise of my own relationship.

🤣 They are a nice couple. #thekrunts

Brix Smith and Nigel Kennedy
Elizabeth Murdoch and Keith Tyson, mainly cos I very vaguely knew him and the idea of him hooking up with that billionaire dynasty is just weird
