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

[AngeloMysterioso]

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??”

[quote Pumpkinpops]@3CCC yes, especially because Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson dated for a few years. Blair was basically the Summer of Gossip Girl![/quote]
And Rachel Bilson went on to have a baby with medium sized Annakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen)

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Brangelina but I loved it

Also I think Pete Davidson is incredibly hot. I'm not sure why people think he's unattractive.

Whoopi Goldberg & Ted Danson

@JaneyGotAGun

Whoopi Goldberg & Ted Danson

Oh god yes, this one definitely blew my mind!

@Grossbuttrue

Mary Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy,

Oh my god. I had been looking at photos of her yesterday due to another thread on here and saw this guy in many of them... it didn’t cross my mind for even a second that they were involved romantically! She just looked like she was being chaperoned everywhere.

I'm reading the thread with my jaw wide open.

Where have I been?
😄

Natalie Imbruglia famously didn't write 'Torn' although she didn't exactly disabuse people of the notion . . .

Emanuel Macron et Mme Macron

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor.

Matthew Perry and Julia Roberts what was she thinking!?!

Thought this was just an episode of Friends didn't realise they dated in real life

Mary- Kate Olsen & Nicholas Sarkozy we're a really odd and creepy coupling

So many of these I didn't know about (also so many I had to google) clearly not up to date with the celeb gossip!

Someone ipthread mentioned about Michael sheen & Aisling bea, & what he did to her! What happened there? I didn't even know they had been a thing! Someone enlighten me, please.

@Gameofbones

Michael Sheen is gorgeous.

There's definitely something about him, it must be said. Though it is a bit depressing that he fell into the ultimate cliche of dating a woman literally half his age, with the question marks around when his relationship with Aisling Bea ended and the one with the 25yo baby mama actually began, he actually issued a formal denial about any crossover on Twitter at the time which seemed a bit odd. Wouldn't have said he was that type but I guess what do any of us know?!

Kara Tointon and Joe Swash seemed a very strange couple to me. Also Denise van Outen and Lee Mead. Just very mismatched!

I thought Rachel Bilson & Hayden Christensen were a really cute couple and was sad they broke up. It was just the height difference he's really tall & she's tiny but that's a whole other thread

@Josette77 I look at Pete Davidson and just see someone who looks like they’re looking for somewhere to shoot up 😂

Jerry Hall & Rupert Murdoch
Jackie Kennedy & Aristotle Onassis- showing my age there, it was headline news when they got together.

@dozydoo crossed posts but I think I inadvertently answered your question

Michael Sheen and Aisling Bea dated for a while in 2018, very low key though compared to some of his other relationships. But there did seem to be some crossover between their relationship ending and Sheen getting the new very young girlfriend pregnant. Michael was with Aisling in New York at the end of 2018/early 2019. Sheen and girlfriend Anna Lundberg's baby girl was born in September 2019

MICHAEL GOVE and Sarah Vine. He appears to be quite serious while she appears to be a bit of a free spirit. I just wouldn’t put them together.
Then again, you know what they say about the serious men...., they are demons in the bedroom

Thanks @Lampzade - I just can't unthink Gove as a 'demon in the bedroom' 😂🤮

@BrownEyedGirl80

Madonna and all the 20 something men

Surely they are paid companions?

A blast from the past, but Sven Goran Eriksson and Ulrika Jonsson. Made even weirder by the fact that they were apparently introduced at a party in Downing St by Alistair Campbell .

Michael Gove Mr fatty botty could never be a demon in the bedroom

Mila Kunis and that kid from home alone !

Aston Kutcher & Demi Moore
Aaron

Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy.

Whoopi Goldberg and Timothy Dalton were an unexpected couple

Aston Kutcher and Milia Kunis- it wasn't till after that I learnt they were once in a show together

Callista Lockheart & Harrison Ford
