20 celebrity couples who caught the public by surprise

Ryan Gosling and Eva have done a pretty good job at keeping their relationship under wraps. So, whenever she posts him on Instagram, or they appear in a red carpet picture, I'm reminded that they've been an item; they just don't talk about it.

Even though it was unexpected, it makes sense. Who wouldn't want to be with the sexiest man alive?

After watching Kourt with Scott on Keeping Up With The Kardashians for so many years, I didn't expect her to be with someone like Travis Barker. But, hey, they work, and their love is undeniable.

MGK and Megan Fox weren't a couple anyone saw coming, but it worked! Well, until it didn't. “I think, as of now, I don’t have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is [MGK] is what I refer to as being my ‘twin soul,’ and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what," she said on Alex Cooper's Call Me Daddy podcast.

We all knew these two celebs were an item in the early 2000s, but they shocked us in 2021 when reports said they rekindled their relationship. By 2022, they were married, but as of late, the rumors about their union don't sound too promising. In fact, sources close to the couple have spilled a lot of tea, saying their marriage has been "over for months."

The media has loved Ariana Grande since her days on Nickelodeon, and earlier this year, she finally experienced the other side. When news broke that the "One Last Time" singer was dating the still-married Ethan Slater, the public was shocked, calling her everything under the sun. On the Zach Sang Show, she addressed the rumors about her, saying they've caused "insatiable frustration."

Not even Cameron saw her relationship with Benji Madden coming. "I think it's a matter of I just hadn't met my husband," she told Gwyneth Paltrow. "I had boyfriends before, and there's a really, really distinct difference between husbands and boyfriends."

Since the James Bond actor secretly tied the knot in 2011, it's easy to forget he's married to the beautiful Rachel Weisz. They even welcomed a baby girl in 2018.

Maybe it's because I'm used to seeing Channing Tatum play the typical frat/jock role in films like Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street that caused me to forget his personal life could be totally different from his professional one. The movie star has been dating Zoë Kravitz since 2021.

Kirsten Dunst and Bring It On will always make me nostalgic, so when I found out she was married to a Friday Night Lights star, the news made my head spin. Nonetheless, she seems genuinely happy and even told Andy Cohen that when she and Jesse first met 10 years ago, she knew they were meant to be. "You just know sometimes," she said.

After Tom Cruise filed for divorce from Nicole Kidman, the actress coupled up with Lenny Kravitz, whom she dated for a few months before becoming engaged.

Adele finally struck gold when she became an official item with her new boo, sports agent Rich Paul. She first shared an image of them on her Instagram in 2021 with a simple red heart emoji for the caption. Love wins!

Even if they had a 16-year age gap, Ryan Gosling said Sandra Bullock was one of "the greatest girlfriends" he's ever had. The other was Rachel McAdams, his co-star in The Notebook, and Regina George from Mean Girls.

Tom Cruise and Cher dated in the '80s, and when asked about their relationship, the singer said the Top Gun actor was one of her best lovers. "When we kissed, I thought my head would shoot right off my body."

Ryan Reynold's relationship with the "You Oughta Know" singer was not on my bingo card. They were even engaged for a brief period!

Even Batman was dumped during his early days. The Dark Knight actor revealed in a 2012 interview that he and Drew Barrymore dated briefly as teenagers. However, things didn't go as planned, considering the latter "never called again."

Don't get me wrong, I love Pete Davidson. But everybody wondered how he bagged Kim Kardashian. During an episode of their family's Hulu series, The Kardashians, Kris spoke about their relationship, saying the comedian makes her daughter happy. "Pete is amazing. No drama, no stress, he's just Pete. [He] fits in with the family. I think Kim is happy, she laughs, she's more confident, Pete brings out the best in her." Unfortunately, they broke up in 2023 due to distance and schedules.

Although Jennifer Aniston once said dating Vince Vaughn "brought me back to life," the pair's relationship didn't last long. They called things off in 2006, a year after dating.

I don't think anybody expected The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Home Alone to experience a crossover, but the heart wants what the heart wants.

Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong reportedly dated in 2007, but after Armstrong's entourage told him their 15-year age gap could ruin his reputation, he ended things.
