Unusual celebrity pairings often shock the media; people scramble to find out where they met and how long the relationship was kept secret. While it's great to see these happy couples enjoying life now, we are often left wondering how they came together in the first place.
Here is part two of the unexpected celebrity couples list:
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi
This young couple will soon be heading to the altar. "Stranger Things" actress Millie Bobby Brown and model Jake Bongiovi, son of the musician Jon Bon Jovi, revealed they were dating after Bongiovi posted a photo of them together on Instagram in June 2021. The two became official when Brown posted a photo of them kissing on the London Eye the following November. The two have shared countless moments from their relationship on their Instagram accounts since.
Brown and Bongiovi made their red carpet debut in March 2022 at the BAFTA Film Awards in London. They would also attend the "Stranger Things 4" premiere together in May 2022 in New York City. Brown revealed in an interview with WIRED that they met on Instagram, became friends and the rest is history.
In April 2023, the 20-year-old shared on Instagram that they were engaged. She later shared that Bongiovi proposed to her underwater on a scuba diving trip. Since becoming engaged, the two have continued to share their relationship online, and many fans are happy for them.
Halsey and Avan Jogia
Dating rumors surrounding Singer Halsey and "Victorious" star Avan Jogia began in September 2023 after the two were photographed together in Los Angeles. A month later, Halsey shared a photo of them holding hands on Instagram. Jogia and Halsey also participated in a couple’s costume last Halloween, with Halsey's post showing off their looks. The two continue to share their relationship via Instagram.
This is a couple no one saw coming after Halsey's split from their previous relationship of five years with screenwriter Alev Aydin. Halsey also has a child that she co-parents with Aydin. However, Halsey seems happy with Jogia, and fans are excited to see where the relationship goes.
Chelsea Peretti and Jordan Peele
This celebrity couple has kept their relationship relatively private for nearly a decade. Actress and comedian Chelsea Peretti and actor and filmmaker Jordan Peele connected on Twitter in 2013. Peretti told Entertainment Weekly that the pair connected after Peele was "very complimentary of the Web series" she once did. Peretti would begin to share photos of Peele on Instagram later the same year. Peele shared his first photo of him and Peretti in August 2014.
The couple was spotted on red carpets and moved in together in 2014. They announced their engagement via Twitter in late 2015. The pair eloped in April 2016 and welcomed their first child, Beaumont, in July 2017. Since then, the two have continued to walk red carpets together and are open about being parents.
Elliot Grainge and Sophia Richie
Model Sophia Richie, daughter of musician Lionel Richie, started dating music executive Elliot Grainge in 2021. Grainge is also the son of Lucian Grainge, CEO of Universal Music Group. They hinted at their relationship in March 2021 after Richie posted a photo of them together on Instagram. Following the post, E! News spotted the pair on a date. After a year of dating, the two shared their engagement in April 2022.
The two have been seen on vacation together, celebrating birthdays, the new year and their engagement. Richie shared photos of the engagement in December 2022 and also revealed on Instagram Story that she converted to Grainge's religion of Judaism ahead of their pending nuptials.
The couple tied the knot in April 2023. Recently, they announced that they are expecting a baby girl in January. Fans are excited to see their family expand and what their future holds.
Rita Ora and Taika Waititi
British singer Rita Ora and New Zealand filmmaker and actor Taika Waititi met in 2018 and dating rumors started in April 2021. While the origin of their relationship is unknown, Ora posted a throwback photo of the couple for Valentine's Day in 2022, but most of her account's photos before July 2022 have been deleted. The two were first spotted kissing while with Tessa Thompson in May 2021, a wild PDA interaction. They were also seen walking the red carpet together in Los Angeles for "The Suicide Squad" premiere in August 2021.
The couple has been documented at concerts, birthdays, award ceremonies, fashion shows and movie premieres. In August 2022, the couple confirmed their engagement and Ora shared that she was the one to propose to Waititi. Ora and Waititi married in late January 2023. Four months later, they attended the 2023 Met Gala together. Since marrying, the two have opened up about married life and continue to share their relationship on Instagram.
