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??”

I still a bit icked out by Sam Taylor Wood's and Aaron Johnson's relationship.

He was 18 and she was 43.

(and feel the same about 18 year old girls and 43 year old men)

@Boogiethebeat

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.

Yes, he's so creepy!

Ulrika Jonsson and the man who was a contestant on a show where he was looking for love and she was the presenter.
Good thread by the way.

Kourtney Kardashian, and her new bf, Travis Barker.

Just seems like quite an unusual pairing to me.

MrsBongiovi
I just didn't think SHE would be his type.

(As a total aside, does your name refer to Jon Bon?)

Madonna and all the 20 something men

Yes to all the politicians. Urk.
Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson back in the day.
Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton
David Tennant and Georgia can't remember surname sorry, Peter Davidson's daughter.

Serpenta, I'm 43 and joke about liking younger guys, but wouldn't go younger than Harry Styles 27.
My actual BF is 48!

@mamakoukla yes. I remember my mum seeing footage of the wedding on the 6 o clock news and looking somewhat puzzled. I was only 12 at the time so didn't really think any more about it.

Those two from the X factor, Stevie what's-his-face and Chloe Jasmin.

Lol, do people not realise that some of these are bearding arrangements? Hardly surprising they seem odd.
So anyway ... Liza Minnelli and David Gest
David Gest amd Malandra Burroughs
Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley
George Clooney and Stacy Keibler

Catherine Tate and one of Take That (Jason Orange I think)

Scott Disicks obsession with teens is troubling.

Julia Roberts and Lylle Lovett was odd.

Courtney Love and Steve Coogan

Les Dennis & Amanda Holden

I get the first three but Clooney seems happily married.

Sue Perkins and Anna Richardson

Channing Tatum and Jessie J surprised me

@Jumpingintosummer yes, but not to Stacy Keibler though!

@BrownEyedGirl80

Madonna and all the 20 something men

I think it gets a bit tragic when you see Madonna with a succession of 20-something boyfriends and the even older Mick Jagger with a succession of 20-something girlfriends. At what point do you allow yourself to acknowledge that they're with you for your celebrity and money rather than red hot desire.

Madonna should get herself a nice buff 50 year old. Mick should settle down with a nice lady of 65. She'd still be over a decade younger than him!

Oh celebrities!

@smoothieooo interesting. Lisa Snowdon was a strange match too.

Stephen Fry and Elliott Spencer - the 30 year age gap makes them look like father and son

Back in the day, Chris Evans and Billy Piper

Katie Perry and Russell Brand
(But he has gone out with literally everyone)

Kylie Minogue and Michael Hutchence
(I was a young fan and was upset when she split with Jason Donovan.

Whitney and Bobby
(Although she wasn't as squeaky clean as her media image)
