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??”

Donald Trump and Melania

Apparently Tom cruise was amazing in bed according to Cher.

I get the impression Kourtney K and Travis are having the kind of ridiculous sex that Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob were having. That can’t stop fucking each other but it will fizzle out soon enough obsessive sex. I remember watching an interview with Angelina and Billy Bob at a red carpet event and he said ‘we fucked in the car on the way here.’

Scott is having sex with a ridiculous amount of teenagers to try and make her jealous and come back to him.

Jordan was pregnant with Harvey when she ‘stole’ GG’s virginity which is why everyone lost their shit over it.

The one that I never got is David Walliams with Lara Stone. David Walliams sets me on edge every day of the week.

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 ..."*

But not daft like me to get her name wrong Blush

Holland Taylor!

Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna

He used to be incredibly private in the 80s, shut down discussion about his private life in a big way when LA Law was in its prime

And then married Lisa Rinna and reality tv on a mega scale beckoned!

LemonDrizzles · 08/06/2021 20:14

@Grossbuttrue

Mary Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy,
Yes this, the 17 year age gap. And he just looks so much older than her... Just, ugh!
Letsgetreadytocrumble · 08/06/2021 20:17

Definitely Lembit Opik and that one Tom the Cheeky Girls.

Preston and Chantelle.

RedthroatedCaracara · 08/06/2021 20:22

David Foster (71) and Katharine McPhee (37)

UnluckyMe · 08/06/2021 20:23

@covetingthepreciousthings

Stacey Solomon and Steve-O (from Jackass) always surprised me. Think they were together a year or two.
I did not know this!!! That is an odd pairing but hey love has no fixed type! Can imagine he is a laugh to be fair :)
PlumpAndDeliciousFatcat · 08/06/2021 20:24

@MilesJuppIsMyBitch

Les Dennis & Amanda Holden
Ended when she had an affair with Neil Morrissey!

I didn’t know that Michael Sheen had dated Aisling Bea, and on googling I also learned that he dated Sarah Silverman. He gets about, doesn’t he?!

MrsBongiovi · 08/06/2021 20:25

*I just didn't think SHE would be his type.’

Oh, I see. 😬 Well I hope they’re ‘real’, it’s horrible to think he has to hide his sexuality.

(As a total aside, does your name refer to Jon Bon?)

Yes, it does. I’m a massive fan. 😍

SofiaMichelle · 08/06/2021 20:26

@1FootInTheRave

Ali G and Isla Fisher.
Noooo, it's Borat and Isla Fisher. Grin
Pumpkinpops · 08/06/2021 20:26

Jessica Simpson and the guy from Smashing Pumpkins. Also Michael Sheen and everyone I've ever heard he's with. He seems nice enough, he must be very charming I think.

For a couple that seemed perfect for each other: Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. Still sad they are not together Blush

MrsBongiovi · 08/06/2021 20:27

Bold fail above but that was to @IHaveBrilloHair

ConradKnightSocks · 08/06/2021 20:29

@BlueThursday

Priscilla Presley and Toby Anstis
Shock Whaaaaaa....?! This is a contender for winner of the thread for me. Hope on earth did this even happen?? Shock
JudgeJ · 08/06/2021 20:31

@BlueThursday

Priscilla Presley and Toby Anstis
Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson and, later, Nicholas Cage
MrsJBaptiste · 08/06/2021 20:32

Ronnie O'Sullivan and Laila Rouass Yes!

Saw them together on Saturday Kitchen and wondered if they were friends (which seemed surprising) but not a couple and they've been together for a while too.

DuckonaBike · 08/06/2021 20:32

@MareofBeasttown

Richard Armitage is gay?!!! Weeps...
What?! I had no idea. This has ruined my evening.😢
IHaveBrilloHair · 08/06/2021 20:33

I'm a big Shawn fan, have seen him live, let's just say my gaydar is working and I don't buy it!
He's utterly stunning IRL though, brilliant show.

I've just today booked to see the Bon Jovi cinema show next week, (wanted Friday, but could only get Tuesday)

Read upwards!

Serpenta · 08/06/2021 20:35

I feel sorry for the Olsen twins. They're in their mid 30s but have the height and build of 13 year old girls, so it can look strange to see them with a fully grown man. But not much they can do to change that.

MolyHolyGuacamole · 08/06/2021 20:37

Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn

BrownEyedGirl80 · 08/06/2021 20:38

Peter Andre and his Doctor wife Emily

MolyHolyGuacamole · 08/06/2021 20:39

A few people have mentioned Alanis Morisette and Ryan Reynolds.

Similar for me is Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling

Standrewsschool · 08/06/2021 20:43

@StrandedStarfish

Catherine Tate and Adrian Chiles
Didn’t know this!
DrDresaid · 08/06/2021 20:43

Catherine Tate and either Howard Donald or Jason orange. I can't remember which one haha
