There are couples that are iconic whether likeable or not, then there are those that are iconic for the strangest of reasons.
It is time to take a trip down memory lane and look at ten odd celebrity couples from the past.
Madonna and Tupac Shakur
Back in 2015, Madonna stated during an interview with Howard Stern that between 1993-1995, she dated iconic rapper Tupac Shakur. This sent shockwaves around the world. Tupac later admitted breaking up with Madonna because she was white in a love letter that he wrote.
Macaulay Culkin and Mila Kunis
The Home Alone and Family Guy stars met when they were 18 and 21 respectively, and dated for nine years between 2002 and 2011.
Mila Kunis did say that she behaved terribly during her breakup on Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert.
Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde
Meeting on the set of Don’t Worry Darling, the couple were spotted hand in hand in January 2021 at a friend’s wedding despite the 10-year age gap between the two. They called it quits in November 2022.
Julia Fox and Kanye West
A very short-lived romance, Kanye dated Julia Fox for only two months following his split with Kim Kardashian. It was a relationship that served nothing but ambitious outfits and countless memes.
Grimes and Elon Musk
The odd couple made it official in 2018 at their appearance at the prestigious Met Gala. They welcomed two children with names that are strange in every sense of the word. The son is named X AE A-XII nicknamed X, whilst the daughter is named Exa Dark Siderael nicknamed Y. They broke up in September 2021, but Grimes reassured that their relationship status is running smoothly.
Jessica Biel and Chris Evans
The couple not only started dating back in 2001 but also starred in two movies together Cellular (2004) and London (2005). They broke up in 2006 after five years together.
Cher and Tom Cruise
An interesting match to say the least, they met in 1985 during Madonna and Sean Penn’s wedding in Malibu California. They did not get together until they reunited at a meeting at the White House years later.
The reasoning for their break up is still not clear to this day, but the brief romance was well spent.
Cher ranked Tom Cruise as one of her top five lovers during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”
Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas
At just 13 years old and both meeting each other in their Disney days, Miley and Nick expressed their love for each other. They dated for a year before breaking up in December 2007. Whilst both never addressed their break up, Miley’s song “7 things” is rumoured to be about her relationship with Nick.
Brad Pitt and Sinitta
Now, this is the definition of a weird couple. They started dating somewhere in the 1980s but broke up in 1988 due to the relationship being long-distance. Sinitta said she tried her best to make things work though.
Tyra Banks and Drake
Yes, you are reading correctly! Back in 2012, Tyra and Drake had a one-off date where they went to Disneyland in disguise. During an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Drake revealed that he had no idea if it was a date. They are both still friends to this day. Tyra also appeared in Drake’s music video of his single “Child’s play” as his main love interest.
