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??”

Denise Van O and Gary Glitter - just googled and it's true

Poor Fearne Cotton though - I can't even bring myself to write that mans name

Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne

Paula Yates and Terence Trent Darby.

@Paddy1234 Incidentally, it also sucks to be H from Steps for that reason.

Kristen Stewart and that director she had an affair with, whose absurdly gorgeous then-wife is now married to Jimmy Iovine, which is another head-scratcher (once you look past his millions...)

You’ll appreciate a then 20-something Colin Farrell cracking onto Dame Eileen Atkins then

He also had a relationship of some sort with Elizabeth Taylor, which he described as an unconsummated romantic affair.

There's a person named Barbara Brocolli?

Russell Brand and Katy Perry

Michael Jackson and Lisa-Marie Presley got married!!!!!

Someone just mentioned it above but Colin Farrell actually nearly married Elizabeth Taylor though she died before they could

Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman, even released a song together

Pamela Anderson and Alex Jones

I thought you meant Aled Jones there
I had visions of her running in slow motion whilst he sung walking in the air to her.

@SarahBellam

Charles and Diana. There isn’t a single photo of the that doesn’t look incredibly awkward..

I think their was a short period of time where they looked genuinely happy.

Kim Kardashian and Nick Cannon

Owen Wilson and Sheryl Crow

Al Pacino and Diane Keaton

Billy Corgan and Tila Tequila

Emma Stone and Kieran Culkin

Kim Kardashian and Nick Lachey

Tom Cruise and Cher back in the day. Seemed like an odd pairing.

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston looked really strange to me somehow

I was surprised Brad Pitt married Jennifer Aniston. Always seemed like she was punching. By the way,am I the only one reading this thread through the google app and having to find out who a lot of these people are through the safari app?!

I too have given up the DM sidebar of shame but:

Nicholas Sarkosy and Carla Bruni
Toyah Wilcox and Robert Fripp
John Major and Edwina Curry
Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach
Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson
Katy Perry and Russell Brand
Sandra Bullock and Jesse James
And
Richard Armitage is gay !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Richard Ayoade married to Lydia Fox - sister of Laurence Fox

Emilia Fox was engaged to Vic Reeves

You have way tooo much time on your hands.

Re: Billie Piper - her recent Desert Island Discs was very interesting in this regard. She talked extensively about her marriage to Chris Evans and about how important the relationship was to help her move on from her child star career, and she really gave the impression that it was a happy marriage and that they are still very amicable. They barely mentioned Laurence Fox, however, except to acknowledge him as the father of her two older children.

Denise Van Buren and Gary Glitter.
@BlueThursday can you explain?

@FlyingNorth

Des O'Connor and Melanie Sykes struck me as an odd couple at first, but seeing them together they seemed to really make each other laugh. Very sad for her that Des has passed away.

Say what??

You think Aniston was punching? Curious.

Denise van Outen had a fairly well-documented affair with Glitter after they met when they appeared in panto together in the 90s. She was over the age of consent which presumably meant she had already aged out of his preferred demographic, and it didn't last long.

Lol at Des O’Connor and Mel Sykes. Unless presenting a show together makes a ‘celebrity couple’

If that’s the case I was quite sad when Piers and Susannah split up.

@IHaveBrilloHair

There's a person named Barbara Brocolli?

Yeah she produces James Bond movies
