Hollywood tends to date within the same pool. Though some couples have got their start from working together on the same set, others have met each other at events. Age is not a factor for celebrities looking for love, as many have dated people over ten years older or younger than them. Some couples are still together, but for the really bizarre ones, their romances fizzled out before we could come up with a cute ship name (like the iconic Bennifer). The love life of the rich, famous, and good-looking spark interest in online discourse. Rumors of cheating and breakups hit social media on a daily basis, but unless the celebrities themselves clear the air, it is all hearsay.
Most celebrity divorces have filed documents citing “irreconcilable differences,” which is a term used as a catch-all when the parties involved want to keep the specific reasons under wraps. For example, in Britney Spears and Sam Asghari’s divorce, they cited irreconcilable differences despite rumors of Britney cheating on her husband with “at least one” male staff member.

Some of our favorite couples are the ones who have withstood the test of time, while some of the biggest breakup news of the year was of couples we thought were going the distance. Sophia Vergara and Joe Manganiello and Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn were just two couples who were together what fans thought were “couple goals. A-listers tend to keep their relationships under wraps, but there is no shortage of dating shows to feed our needs for front-row drama.
As we’ve seen with stars whose every move is watched, their relationships have been judged every step of the way, like Kanye West and his new wife, Bianca Censori. Other couples have no photos posted together on their social media apps, so as to not further fuel media coverage. That doesn’t stop the paparazzi or fans from snapping pics any chance they get, though.
Take a look below to see which celebrities we think are the most random match-ups.
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson
The pair met on the set of Saturday Night Live in 2021 when Kim was the host. Kim dated Pete for nine months, following her split from Kanye West, making this match up pretty shocking. Pete has dated many famous people over the years, so it has become a running joke on social media to nominate Davidson to date the next single Hollywood star. He even got a few tattoos and even branded Kim’s name on him!
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly
The actress, who is four years older than the rapper-turned-rocker, has plans to marry MGK. The pair first met on the set of the thriller Midnight in the Switchgrass in March 2020. Fox later appeared as Kelly’s love interest in his music video for “Bloody Valentine.” By July, the couple had confirmed their relationship when they gave their first joint interview, where Fox called Kelly her “twin flame.” There were rumors of a split between the couple amidst cheating allegations, but it seems as though the couple got through it and are working on their relationship.
Grimes and Elon Musk
The Tesla, SpaceX, and X CEO and musician Grimes made headlines when they stepped out at the 2018 Met Gala together. Since then, they’ve been on-and-off relationship, during which they’ve welcomed two children. In early 2022, Grimes told Vanity Fair, “I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid. We live in separate houses. We’re best friends. We see each other all the time.”
