The love lives of our favourite Hollywood stars reveal that 2021 was full of jaw-droppers; and for every shocking breakup, there was a surprising new “It couple,” seemingly born out of nowhere. Here are some such unusual hot Hollywood couples that we’ve grown to love over the past year, and others that we are still trying to process… From age gaps to bizarre chemistry, here are the duos we can’t stop thinking about!
Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly
By far the fieriest couple in Hollywood right now, they may not be to everyone’s taste, what with drinking each other’s blood and calling each other the weirdest nicknames! Yet, you can’t deny their soulmate status. While they both have children of their own and complicated relationship histories, thus far Fox and Kelly’s relationship has been smooth sailing, especially with Kelly recently proposing and Fox saying yes!
Olivia Wilde & Harry Styles
Just a little over a year ago, Wilde was engaged to beloved comedian Jason Sudeikis, and they were raising their children together. However, Wilde recently announced their separation and, shortly thereafter, she was seen noodling with pop star Harry Styles, who starred in a film she recently directed. With Styles nine years younger than Wilde, the new couple doesn’t necessarily work on paper, but they mesh naturally in the lens of the paparazzi camera!
Kim Kardashian & Pete Davidson
SNL star Pete Davison has already dated half of Hollywood’s high-profile women, from Ariana Grande to Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber and Phoebe Dynevor. Well, now he is in a relationship with pop culture icon Kim Kardashian. While we can’t possibly imagine what the two talk about during their quality time, Davidson seems to have brought Kim out of her shell, taking her to the movie theatre and to the mall – two places where Kanye West never stepped foot in…
Olivia Munn & John Mulaney
The two actors, who are seemingly from completely different worlds and do not necessarily run in the same Hollywood circles, caught us by surprise last year when they first announced they were dating and are expecting a baby together, shortly after Mulaney’s separation from his wife. The two welcomed their son a few months ago, and they seem to still be in their honeymoon phase – minus the marriage and plus the baby…
Rita Ora & Taika Waititi
Having started in Australia, the new Hollywood fling between screenwriter and director Taika Wititi as she filmed Thor: Love and Thunder and singer Rita Ora while filming The Voice continues to bloom. The couple made headlines when they went public for the first time at the Suicide Squad premiere. Since then, they’ve gone all-out with their Instagram posts, and we must say they look super cute together!
Angelina Jolie & The Weeknd
This visually pleasing, yet extremely unlikely pair, have reportedly been together since July 2021. Nonetheless, there are claims that their relationship is purely professional, with Angelina Jolie being the main muse behind The Weeknd’s new album, Dawn FM. While it’s too early to tell how we feel about them together, let’s just say the Weeknd is going to have his hands full with six stepchildren. Yikes!
Zoe Kravitz & Channing Tatum
With sparks flying on the set of Pussy Island, with Zoë Kravitz as director and Channing Tatum in the lead, these two took it a step further when they made their first appearance together on the 2021 Met Gala. Despite their age difference, they do have things in common. They are both newly divorced and extremely good-looking! Well, while we were hesitant at first, we’ve decided to hop onto the Kravitz-Tatum train and can’t wait to see what they have in store next.
Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker
This newly engaged couple is one we didn’t expect to love so much. The eldest Kardashian sister and the Blink-182 band member have been good friends for years, but things got romantic in 2020. After years in an on-again-off-again toxic relationship with the father of her three children, Scott Disick, Barker has Kardashian beaming for the first time in years. Her big smile may not be good for wrinkles, but it sure is great for her soul.
