2020 was undoubtedly the year of the celebrity break-up.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and a spate of worldwide lockdowns, we read countless divorce announcements and carefully crafted joint statements from celebrity couples including Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy, and Ashley Benson and Cara Delevingne.
And, well, the list goes on.
Speaking of celebrity couples, Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman are the definition of #couplegoals. Post continues below.
But in 2021, it seems there's a new trend in celebrity relationships.
As The Cut pointed out in May, 2021 is shaping up to be the year of the unexpected celebrity couple.
From the rumoured relationship between Kanye West and Irina Shayk to Megan Fox's PDA-filled relationship with Machine Gun Kelly, the list just keeps on growing.
So, here are 10 of the most unexpected celebrity couples of 2021 so far.
Zendaya and Tom Holland.
After years of denying romance rumours,Spidermanstars Zendaya and Tom Holland have been photographed kissing in Los Angeles. And you best believe, the "Tomdaya" shippers are excited about it.
In footage recently obtained by Page Six, the pair, who are set to appear inSpider-Man: No Way Home, were spotted making out in Holland's US$125,000 (AUD $166,000) Audi sports car.
The publication also reported that Holland, 25, was seen hanging out with Zendaya, 24, and her mother in the Silver Lake neighbourhood in Los Angeles on the same day.
Dating rumours between the pair have been floating around for years, ever since they starred in the 2017 filmSpider-Man: Homecoming.
"They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man," an unnamed source supposedly told People in 2017.
"They've been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they've gone on vacations with each other and try to spend as much time as possible with one another."
However, both Holland and Zendaya denied anything romantic at the time of publication.
Angelina Jolie and The Weeknd.
Another surprising celebrity duo making headlines is 46-year-old Angelina Jolie and 31-year-old Canadian singer The Weeknd.
According to Page Six, the pair were photographed getting dinner together in an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles.
Jolie, who is going through a custody battle with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, and The Weeknd reportedly spent hours in the restaurant before leaving separately.
While nothing has been officially confirmed, an unnamed source told the publication the pair were "clearly not trying to hide [the dinner date]".
Interestingly, Jolie was also photographed leaving her British ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller's apartment building in Brooklyn last month.
Hmmm. Watch this space.
Kanye West and Irina Shayk.
Earlier this year, it was officially confirmed that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting a divorce.
And now, it seems West has officially moved on.
According to E! News ,Kanye West and model Irina Shayk have been casually seeing each other for several weeks.
The pair, who have known each other for years, were photographed in Provence, France during West's 44th birthday.
"Kanye has been flying in and out of New York to be with her," a source told theE! News.
"Kanye and Irina have known each other for years through the fashion industry. They were connected through their mutual friend group and Riccardo Tisci," the source continued.
"Kanye and Irina connected recently when they were both in New York City. They met up one night and had chemistry and hit it off."
Back in 2010, Shayk also appeared in West's music video for his song 'Power'. The actress has also modelled for West's brand, Yeezy.
As for how Kim Kardashian feels about the whole situation, sources told The Sun that she doesn't believe the relationship rumours.
"To her, it's some attention seeking no one who tried to piggy back some clout off their wedding anniversary," the source claimed.
"She's not bothered at all about it, no one in her circle appears to care or believe it. Even if it is true, I doubt she'll even be upset at this point."
From 2015 to 2019, Shayk was dating actor Bradley Cooper. The couple shared a daughter together, Lea De Seine, who is four years old.
John Mulaney and Olivia Munn.
