There are the celebrity couples who will go down in history. We’re talking Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love…the list goes on.
But then there are the celebrities who shacked up and had us shouting from the rooftops: what were they thinking!? Here are some of the most random celebrity couples to keep your mind off all the doom and gloom of the pandemic:
Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morrisette
Did you know that Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Reynolds and ‘90s songstress Alanis Morisette were actually engaged from 2004-2007. They reportedly met at Drew Barrymore’s birthday party in 2002 – which is iconic in itself – and Morisette once told People she felt “so loved” by Reynolds, “in a trampoline kind of way” – whatever that means. Sadly, the pair called it quits in 2007…but it was probably for the best, considering Reynolds went on to meet wife and baby mama Blake Lively and Morrisette followed a similar path with her beau.
Macaulay Culkin and Mila Kunis
Before Mila Kunis tied the knot with her That 70’s Show co-star Ashton Kutcher, she was in a long term relationship with Home Alone actor, Macauley Culkin…FOR EIGHT YEARS. If you’re thinking, how did I miss this!? You’re not alone. These two had a super low-key relationship, and little is known about it, except for the fact they dated from 2002 to 2011 and split up when Kunis became a big star.
Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood
In a million years, would you have ever put Westworld actress Evan Rachel Wood with controversial musician Marilyn Manson? Despite a whopping 18-year age gap, Wood and Manson started dating in 2007 and had an on-again off-again relationship for several years. In 2010, Manson proposed to Wood during a performance in Paris, but the pair broke it off just one year later.
Michael Buble and Emily Blunt
It’s hard to believe there was a time when Emily Blunt and John Krasinski weren’t our favourite Hollywood couple, but alas, here we are discussing it. In 2005, Blunt began dating iconic yet random crooner Michael Buble while there were both at the Logies in Melbourne. The pair dated for three years, and even shared a house together in British Columbia, but sadly parted ways in 2008.
Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson
Remember when Lindsay Lohan was all over the tabloids and was dating Mark Ronson’s sister, Samantha Ronson? Yeah, neither do I, because it was all the way back in 2008 and this was one super random celebrity couple. Lohan refrained from commenting on their relationship, insisting she wanted to keep “her private life private,” but the media was relentless. In a 2010 interview with The Times, Ronson said she “still loved” Lohan, but dealing with the paparazzi was becoming too much.
