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??”

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Not so much an odd couple, I just didn't realise they were married until recently. Is even watched A Quiet Place by that point.

I assume it comes from the fact that a beard makes a man look more manly. As does a female partner.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman was reputed to be very much a marriage of convenience for both, wasn't it?

I genuinely think that if Blunt and Krazinski spilt, I'd be more gutted than I was about the demise of my own relationship.

Me too! Both seem lovely and PK is hilarious.

What’s a bearding arrangement??!

A ‘relationship’ arrangement that is meant to fool the paying public into believing that of course neither of the participants is gay, because being gay is thought to be a guarantee of sudden box office death.

Simon Cowell and Sinitta
Frank Gardener and Elizabeth Ritzinni (he seems so serious and she seems like fun)

@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.

Agree. There was a particularly creepy picture in the papers recently he'd posted of his latest teenage girlfriend.

Liam Payne and Cheryl, she met him when he was a 14 year old child and subsequently as a 16 year old child where she mentored him.

Though I can’t forgive Emily B for matchmaking her sister to Stanley Tucci. He was MINE Emily, MINE!!!!

@InteriorDesignerrr

Michael Sheen and Rachel McAdams / Kate Beckinsale.

He seems absolutely lovely, but those two pairs didn’t look quite right!

He doesn't seem that nice. Look what happened when he was with Aisling Bee!

Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall!

Still dumfounds me

Stacey Solomon and Steve O (I think!)

"do people not realise that some of these are bearding arrangements? Hardly surprising they seem odd."

Well, no, if you were choosing a beard, surely you'd go for a very conventional choice to make it look real?

Rod Hull and Emu. Did not see that one coming.

Mary Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy,

@LadyMonicaBaddingham

Charlie Brooker is married to Konnie Huq from Blue Peter. That surprised me...

I stopped ✋now that surprised me.

@MarieIVanArkleStinks

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!

Ah I'm the same with gay men.

Never managed to figure out if I thought the pairing of Richard Armitage and Lee Pace was weird or I was just ragingly jealous!

"He doesn't seem that nice. Look what happened when he was with Aisling Bee!"

What? Someone has something negative to say about Michael Sheen!!?

Catherine Tate and Jason Orange.
Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett.
Charlize Theron and Eric Stonestreet (Cameron from Modern Family)

@msbevvy

Disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield and Elle MacPherson!

WTAF?! Missed this and Elon Musk/Grimes. I might start following slebs because this thread is great value.

Britney and Colin Farrell oh they would have had hot babies!

The weirdest was Steve Coogan and Courtney Love

Brooke Shields and Andre Agassi was a bit weird

Lara Flynn Boyle and Jack Nicholson was yuk!

Gwen Stefani and Blake...ummm yeah can't remember his last name
Renee Zelwegger and Kenny Chesney

Hmm maybe I just find it odd that anyone would find country music stars attractive.

@LobotomisedIceSkatingFan

Same.

WTAF?! Missed this and Elon Musk/Grimes.

Have a look at what EM/Grimes named their baby, then you’ll really be WTAF.
