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??”

@Hornicorn

Don’t think anyone has mentioned Sarah Paulson & Holland Taylor. 32 year age gap! They seem head over heels for each other though.

@FlyingNorth

Des O'Connor and Melanie Sykes struck me as an odd couple at first, but seeing them together they seemed to really make each other laugh. Very sad for her that Des has passed away.

We’re they an actual couple? I thought they just presented together

Jason Orange and Catherine Tate.

they definitely weren't a couple. although they probably got on very well and she may well miss him!

Adrian Chiles and Catherine Tate

Anyone with Boris Johnson. Or Mick Jagger, or Ryan Giggs.

@BorderlineHappy

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton She appears quite eccentric and arty and he comes across as Mr Beige seem happy

Thats probably the reason they work.

Yes I agree this is possibly why they work, after what happened with her ex husband.. I really felt for her after that.

Victoria Coren and David Mitchell surprised me - although they seem very good together. Ditto Konnie Huq and Charlie Brooker.

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley.

David Walliams used to live with Caroline Aherne- mind you I think all of his girlfriends have been a bit random thinking about it.

Noooo! I've thought that for years!

Henry Cavill and Kaley Cuoco, for the 5 minutes they were together

Didn't even know Des O'connor had died 🤷‍♀️

Sarah Paulson and the old woman from two and a half men? What?!

Oh that was deffo a set up

Apparently Tom Cruise and Cher dated back in the 80s... now that is weird.

As an aside, any celeb couples that you think are/were perfect together? I remember when I heard that Nick Knowles was dating Kate Lawler of BB fame I thought they were made for each other (I found them both quite annoying but I thought they had the exact same personality). Sadly they split. Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon also seem like a very well-matched couple to me.

Steve Coogan and Courtney love 😱
Lisa marie Presley and Micheal Jackson

Brooke Shields and Andre Agassi was a bit weird
Plus Andre with Babs and Steffi. I know he’s been long married to Steffi but I’d just never have put them together

@RestingStitchFace

Victoria Coren and David Mitchell surprised me - although they seem very good together. Ditto Konnie Huq and Charlie Brooker.

I think I read that Mitchell was in love with her from afar for years and eventually persuaded her to go out with him! Always struck me as being extremely romantic yet with a vague whiff of stalkery.

Can I say Vicky McClure and Jonny Owen?

Shocked me.

Anna Friel and Rhys Ifans.

Jordan and Gareth gates was a shocker at the time
I was teaching and all the year 9 girls were massively in denial about it and hated her because of it!!

@Casheeeew

Sarah Paulson and the old lady from two and a half men

Taylor Holland. Rude to refer to her as "the old lady from ..."

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony

Marc Anthony and Chloe Green

Chloe Green and that hot felon bloke (although he was so clearly only in it for the £££)

Rio Ferdinand and Kate from Towie… although she did seem to change her whole life for him!

Renee Zellweger and Jim Carey.
