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??”

@shewalkslikerihanna

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

I love John Torode and Lisa Faulkner together, they seem to adore each other

LynetteScavo · 09/06/2021 20:55

I just had to Google Toby Anstis and Priscilla Presley because I didn't believe it- apparently they were introduced by Warwick Davis, but the romance only lasted three weeks.

I suppose Toby Anstis might look a bit like Elvis in the dark?

Don Johnson and Melanie Griffiths were an odd couple.

And Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones.

But Colin Farrell and Liz Taylor? Huh?

@OhWhyNot

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

Yeah there’s a lot of creeps on this thread...Sad

Always thought that Shane warne and Liz Hurley was a bit left of field 😬. That was the same time that Shane experimented with his highlights and fillers

Angie from EastEnders and the guy from Queen

Rowan Atkinson and Louise Ford. I loved her in crashing and rewatched it recently, then googled her (as you do) only to find out she’s had Mr Beans baby, just kind of freaked me out Confused

LynetteScavo · 09/06/2021 21:04

Stephen Fry and Elliott Spencer Huh?

MonsteraMother · 09/06/2021 21:04

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rosdale after he asked my friend up to his hotel room... They seemed like a good match but now we know otherwise...

nicc1000 · 09/06/2021 21:06

Anthony keidis and Sinead O'Connor. Broke his heart according to him!

I miss the Tayto threads on here so much. Tim (sic) and Taylor should reunite and get married in a water-slide park just to please me.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly

She left James Acaster for him. He has got quite a lot of material out of it…

@Irismarle

I always thought Madonna and Warren Beatty was an odd couple, though it didn’t last long.

I agree about big age gaps. Worst of all was the American Anna Nicole Smith and the ancient billionaire. Confused

I wonder what she saw in him??

I still would. I really fancied Jim Kerr back in the day

Weren't Rowan Atkinson and Lesley Ash living together for a while?

Localocal · 09/06/2021 21:52
