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??”

Merciess I think they split up last year. They were such an odd couple. I have no idea how they got together. They're from totally different worlds. Very random.

David cross and Amber tamblyn

Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen - very odd adopted daughter of ex partner

Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy - grandad issues?

@Smokeahontas it looks like Mike Skinner and Lily Allen had a fling.. could be about her?

Rhannion · 09/06/2021 20:10

expatinspain · 09/06/2021 20:11

Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen - very odd adopted daughter of ex partner

Mia and Woody were still together when he started sleeping with Soon-Yi (who was in high school). Mia has many adopted children, one of which has Woody as his adopted father.

While Mia and Woody never married, they were together for a long time. Soon-Yi is basically Woody's step-daughter.

Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchinson but that was creepy on so many levels.

Smokeahontas · 09/06/2021 20:24

Mel C and Anthony Kiedis has just popped into my head

pomers · 09/06/2021 20:25

@msbevvy

Disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield and Elle MacPherson!
Absolutely

when he started sleeping with Soon-Yi

Sorry, I phrased that weird above. I don't know how old Soon-Yi was when the relationship started but it's probably more fair to say grooming and possibly statutory rape.

Haven’t read the full thread but has anyone mentioned
Jerry hall and Rupert murdoch

@SwimBaby

One of the cheeky girls and the Lib Dem guy.
Omg I’d forgotten about that one. He dated the presenter Sian Lloyd for years before that I believe
rookiemere · 09/06/2021 20:30

@me4real I checked and it looks like Calista Flockhart was 37/38 when she first started dating Harrison Ford. Apparently there is a 22 year age gap, but as they were both mature adults when they met I think that's nobody's business but their own.

BroccoliRob · 09/06/2021 20:32

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk
Lisa Faulkner and John Torode - I’m sure they’re very happy but he just looks like a guy whose breath would stink
Kourtney and Travis
Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards

shewalkslikerihanna · 09/06/2021 20:33

Tom cruise and Cher ... no way?

MarieIVanArkleStinks
Princess Beatrice and that Mozzi fella. Something about the body language; I don't know why but it just looks wrong.

Yes I get a weird vibe from them as well

OhWhyNot · 09/06/2021 20:33

Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen situation is absolutely vile and extremely disturbing

How did so many powerful producers and actors just turn a blind eye until Me Too then they suddenly developed a conscience Hmm

@MsIreneWinters

John Major and Edwina Currie

Russel brand and Katy perry
If that hasn’t been mentioned

@FleabagsGuineaPig

These aren’t celebrities but it always surprises me that Dr Tanya Byron from those parenting programmes is with the guy from The Bill - is it Terry?
That’s surprised me. I guess it’s because they’re from different worlds - he a tv actor and she’s a child psychologist.
BorderlineHappy · 09/06/2021 20:38

Madonna and Dennis Rodman,that was weird.
