Normally when we report on celebrity couples it consists of either a pregnancy or a breakup/divorce, so I figured why not be positive and focus on new couples that got together this year and are still going strong. Here are 14 new celebrity couples that Zimbio remind us who’ve hooked up this year and have lasted so far.
Worlds collided when tween sensation Joe Jonas and Twilight star Ashley Greene coupled up this summer. They’ve been doing everything from grocery shopping to traveling together and always look so darn happy while holding hands in front of the cameras. Darling, isn’t it?
Jessica Simpson has had quite a year: She met, began dating, AND got engaged to ex-football star Eric Johnson in 2010. They began dating in about May, and he popped the question in early November, right after Jessica’s ex-husband Nick Lachey announced his engagement to Vanessa Minnillo. Love is all around!
Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are probably the hottest co-star couple to come out of Hollywood this year. They got together in August after working together on Stranger Tides, just months after Halle and Gabriel Aubry announced their split.
We are so happy Rihanna found new love this year! She and Dodgers player Matt Kemp have been going strong since May and have traveled all over the world together over the last few months. “I smile for real this time,” she said in an interview. “The smiles come from inside, and it exudes in everything I do. People feel my energy is different. When I smile they can tell that it’s pure bliss and not just a cover up.”
Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal have the rumor mill in overdrive these days. They’ve reportedly spent many a romantic weekend together, though there’s been no official word from either camp. If it’s true, this is one hottest, most unexpected new couples of 2010!
Kate Hudson and Muse rocker Matt Bellamy have been together since May. These two have often been spotted out and about with Kate’s son Ryder and it seems like things are pretty serious. Apparently Matt even gets along with his girlfriend’s mom, Goldie Hawn!
It took FOREVER (ok, 5 months) for Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough to confess that they’re an item. The big news came in November, when she gushed all about her man in an interview. She said he’s a “phenomenal” boyfriend and he constantly leaves her flowers and little surprises, even when he’s not around. Definitely a keeper!
Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner got way hot and heavy in 2010. Things between this couple (who haven’t even publicly admitted that they are a couple) got so intense that they got matching tattoos this year — more than once! Must be love.
Reese Witherspoon and Hollywood agent Jim Toth were first spotted together in February. They’ve never really spoken openly about their relationship, and they steer clear of the red carpet, but they’re often seen watching Reese’s kids on the soccer field. These two seem like a super down-to-earth, happy couple. We like it
Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo was first linked to model Irina Shayk in May. The two have since kept mum about their relationship, but it’s pretty clear that they’re together. They’re one of the most beautiful couples around, no doubt.
Mad Men star January Jones and SNL cast member Jason Sudeikis got the dating rumors going at the ESPY Awards this summer. Apparently they were “making out” all over the place, and didn’t have a care in the world. Still no officially confirmation on these two, but we have to say they do make a pretty cute couple.
Parenthood co-stars Lauren Graham and Peter Krause started dating in April of this year. They’re not romantically involved on the show, she’s actually his sister! We’re sure they don’t dwell on that in their spare time.
Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer met on the set of their film I Am Number Four and reportedly began dating shortly after that. They’ve been spotted holding hands and looking mighty lovey-dovey, though they’ve kept mum on their relationship status.
Kirsten Dunst and Rilo Kiley drummer Jason Boesol started dating around the February mark. They make quite the cute indie kid couple.
I’m sure at least one of these will be over by the New Years Eve and the rest will probably be finished by Easter 2011.
Dane Cook had a special surprise for Taylor Swift during their appearance on ‘The Tonight Show’ with Jay Leno on Monday night.
The comedian took off his shirt, revealing a tattoo of Swift’s face on his chest, and began to serenade the country singer.
“Taylor Swift, you’re a gift. Give me a lift to your heart, beating inside my chest, I did my best. Download it now,” Cook sang. “We love you Taylor, Taylor, Taylor Swift!”
After his performance, Swift got up and took a bow as the audience applauded Cook.
With all the celebrity couples breaking up this year, Mama Pop have come up with a list of what celebrities could actually work out if they hooked up together.
1. Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan
These two make the perfect pair. They have a lot in common. They both have a love of the drugs. They both know their lawyers very well. They have both been to rehab several times. When they get out of rehab, they both go back to doing the same things that put them into jail and rehab. Why not just join forces?
2. Madonna and Tiger Woods
There are a lot of cheaters in the celebrity world, a lot. But somehow, I feel as if Madonna, who supposedly cheated on Guy Ritchie with A-Rod, might be able to tame this Tiger a little.
3. Erykah Badu and Lenny Kravitz
These two would make an ideal couple for a lot of reasons. They are beautiful. They are musical legends. They have dreadlocks. They are fashion icons. Who wouldn’t want to see these two hook up? I know I do.
4. Kim Basinger and Matthew McConaughey
These two seem an unlikely pair. However, they both have irrational fears. This gives them something in common. Kim has a fear of open spaces. Matthew has a fear of tunnels and revolving doors. This commonality, I believe would make a great first date conversation and thus, the beginnings of a wonderful relationship.
5. Demi Lovato and Lance Armstrong
I know. Right now, you’re thinking, “Why are you putting these two together?” They are two of the most followed and searched for celebrities on Twitter. This would be a great couple because they would be able to tweet their love to each other. (Don’t worry, she’s 18 and he did date an Olson twin.)
6. Taylor Swift and um… nobody
She keeps writing songs about her breakups. And she said on her next album that she’s naming names. Seriously. Stop her. She’s too young to be so bitter. It doesn’t look good on her.
I would add Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf to this list, just because they were perfect in Transformers. Any celebrities you think should hook up?
