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??”

Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall.

I came here to say this one! I was wondering if it was a strange fever dream I had one night

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones

@msbevvy

Disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield and Elle MacPherson!

That one shocked me!

for several years, evidently, @AbstractHeart - though some sources say they have now split? There was a documentary on last week and the guy said something about being a struck-off medic and living in a gated compound with Elle McPh. I thought he meant living in the SAME community - but no - WITH Elle McPh 😲 www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/elle-macphersons-new-life-with-andrew-wakefield-and-the-worlds-most-notorious-antivaxxers/news-story/c3639dc7d31dd117ee70d1ee38a8d45c

Tom cruise and Hayley atwell. It's not been confirmed but "sources say" and all that.

I mean I get it, he's a handsome man and she's a beauty. But he's also a very well documented religious lunatic. I just couldn't.

Kate Winslet and that odd bloke with the try hard name Ned RocknRoll or something.
Nicole Kidman and Lenny Kravitz!
Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow.

Ben Foster and Robin Wright. Dunno why.

My fave fact if this ilk is that Greta Scacchi is now Sean Penn's MiL, despite being only about six months older than him.

@liftthatup

Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley

See now, they make perfect sense to me!

Scary spice and Eddie Murphy

Oh no. I really like her. Hope she doesn't get sucked into that cult bullshit. His last wife basically had to run away in the dead of night to escape the marriage. Watch out, Hayley!

@girl71

Katya and Neil from Strictly.

I did wonder if this was more of a marriage of convenience. I always thought Anna Friel and David Thewlis were an odd pairing.

Victor Garber and his husband, Rainer Andresson. A rapid disclaimer is that they are a simply gorgeous couple, both as handsome as they come, and seem settled and very happy in a long relationship together.

But as far as Victor is concerned, (doubtless because I've always had an enormous crush on him), I would have called that one wrong.

Now wondering why it's so often been my misfortune to find certain gay blokes irresistible!

Ali G and Isla Fisher.

@hotdrop

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. He used to go to our local pub for the quiz when Coldplay were massive but before he was with her. He was such an ordinary bloke (nice, polite) it felt otherworldly when he started seeing and then married GP. To this day it feels completely outlandish to me.

Yes I was always surprised they got together.

Going to add Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis, then Tom Cruise and Cher.

I agree.. also, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

What’s a bearding arrangement??!

@msbevvy

Disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield and Elle MacPherson!

This was the one I was going yo say.

It's just bizarre.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockheart,i thought was an odd pairing.But they have been married for years.

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

Bearding.
One or both of the couple is gay, and have a public heterosexual relationship as they don't want to come out.

@NoProblem123

What’s a bearding arrangement??!

one or both members of a partnership are gay but pretend to be a couple to maintain a straight public image

@1FootInTheRave

Ali G and Isla Fisher.

But he isn’t Ali G is he? 😂 He is an amazingly talented actor.

Brad Pitt and Sinitta was a bit odd, I felt.

Boris and Carrie Johnson
