This year we have already lost some of our favorite celeb couples to divorce (I'm looking at you, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux) but the good news is that there have also been a lot of really great new romances.
With all the news about celebs breaking up and getting divorced, it's nice to focus on the other end of the scale; when celebs first meet someone who makes their hearts flutter. Plus, who doesn't love a good story about a celeb romance. From the new man in Emma Watson's life (who is breaking her rule of not dating famous people), to celebs rekindling their romances because they just can't quit each other. Below are 15 rumored new couples of 2018, and some of them may even make it into 2019.
15 Camila Cabello Is On Cloud Nine With Matthew Hussey
Camila Cabello and Matthew Hussey are rumored to have struck up a romance in 2018, and these reports first started when they were spotted kissing on a beach in Mexico. According to Refinery29, about a month later, Cabello spoke about her new relationship on the Dan Wootton Interview podcast and reportedly stated she was “on cloud nine.”
This may also be a romance that will withstand the test of time because Hussey is a matchmaker on the NBC show, Ready For Love, so he knows a thing or two about compatibility. He’s also a best-selling author of a dating book called Get the Guy, and a relationship contributor for Cosmopolitan magazine. What I'm trying to say is, he knows a lot about relationships and what makes them so successful.
14 Nick Jonas And Madeline Brewer's Dinner Date Got A Lot Of Attention
Nick Jonas and Madeline Brewer were romantically linked in January of 2018, when they were seen having a romantic candlelit dinner at Via Veneto in Santa Monica, California. This sighting had fans and tabloid magazines convinced that there was something going on with these two. But unfortunately, this pairing seems to be nothing more than a friendship.
Brewer addressed the dating rumors around a week later, when she stepped out onto the red carpet at the 2018 SAG Awards. She told Entertainment Tonight, “[We] ate food across from each other. I guess [that’s a date]. But he was really nice. He’s a nice guy. We’re friends. … He’s adorable, yeah. I mean, that’s just objectively. He’s a cute guy.”
We live in hope that they change their minds.
13 Emma Watson And Chord Overstreet Are So Happy
Emma Watson doesn’t date famous men, at least not usually, but it seems she has made an exception for Glee actor, Chord Overstreet. A source told People, “They met through friends. They might seem like an odd match but they actually have very similar personalities.”
In March, they made their relationship public when they stepped out on the streets of Los Angeles holding hands. Watson was all smiles, and clearly, she doesn’t mind who knows about her relationship. Not long after the photos were taken, a source told Us Weekly, “They’ve been dating for longer than people think. About two months. All of Chord’s friends have known, but he doesn’t talk openly about her.” This would work for Watson, because she is also notoriously private when it comes to her relationships.
12 It Wasn't Love At First Sight For Stassi Schroeder And Beau Clark
Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder has a lot to be happy about right now, and that’s partly thanks to her new boyfriend, Beau Clark. The pair met in August of 2017, and were initially set up by her friends, Katie Maloney-Schwartz and Kristen Doute.
For Clark, it was not love at first sight, and he revealed as much in March of 2018, when he gave an interview on Schroeder’s podcast Straight Up with Stassi. According to him, he initially scanned Schroeder’s Instagram and thought that she was fake and “not my cup of tea at all." He was wrong, and it was their second meeting that changed his mind about her.
The couple made their relationship official on Valentine’s Day this year, and they look to be very happy.
11 Lucy Hale And Riley Smith Shared A Valentine's Smooch
Lucy Hale is reportedly dating her costar, Riley Smith. The pair star together in comedy series, Life Sentence, and it seems that their onscreen chemistry trickled down into their real lives too, because the pair spent Valentine’s Day together in Los Angeles. According to E! News, they had dinner together at Pace restaurant, and after they finished their meal they were photographed sharing a kiss. Hale was also seen holding a white rose, so if her new man gave this to her, that is adorable!
Hale split from her longtime boyfriend Anthony Kalabretta, last May, and it seems she waited before rushing into another romance. She’s also decided that a more mature man may work out better for her because Smith is 11 years her senior.
10 January Jones Is A Big Fan Of The Bachelor's Nick Viall
January Jones and The Bachelor star Nick Viall seem like the most unlikely of couples, but if reports are true, then they are dating. There is also some confusion with the timeline of their romance since neither has discussed it publicly, Jones has, however, admitted that she is a fan of The Bachelor franchise, and also said she was attracted to Viall while on The Late Late Show With James Corden.
She joked to the host, “You don’t know if you like him or if he’s a scumbag, but that’s why I’m attracted to him, maybe.”
According to Page Six, a source revealed that the pair got together not long after these comments, and in January of 2018, they were reported to have been dating for two months already.
9 Amber Heard And Elon Musk Got Back Together, Briefly
Amber Heard and Elon Musk were first linked after her divorce from Johnny Depp in 2016, and in April of 2017, they seemed to confirm their relationship with public appearances, People reports. They decided to call it quits on their romance in August of that year because of their busy schedules, but then five months later, in January of 2018, they were spotted together holding hands and enjoying a lunch date in Los Angeles.
However, their romance was not to be and a source told People magazine in February that they had broken up, again. They said, “Elon decided it was time to end it and Amber agreed. They both still care deeply for each other but the timing wasn’t right.” Maybe the third time will be the charm, because I find it hard to believe that this breakup is forever.
8 Shailene Woodley And Ben Volavola Pack On The PDA
Shailene Woodley and rugby player Ben Volavola were first linked in October of 2017, but they made their relationship official in January of 2018, when they attended the Valentino Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2018 event together in France. During this trip, Woodley also decided to share photos of herself and her new beau online, making it Instagram official. And they are not shy about packing on the PDA!
According to E! News, the couple reportedly met in Fiji, when Woodley was filming Adrift.
Fans feel this relationship could be pretty serious because Woodley hasn’t been linked to many men over the years, having most recently been rumored to have been with Nahko Bear. So if she’s ready for a boyfriend now, he must be a pretty good one.
7 Catt Sadler's BF Nick LaKind Inspires Her
According to Page Six, Catt Sadler and Nick LaKind are in love. The former E! News presenter also confirmed her romance in a blog post on New Year’s saying, “speaking of love, I found that, too. I have a new best friend who makes me laugh every single day. He lights up my life… He teaches me. I am growing.” Adorable, right?
Sadler was previously married to producer Rhys David Thomas and their divorce was finalized in May of 2017. She has now found happiness with a Los Angeles based designer, who she revealed she met at an AA meeting almost a year ago. She revealed this on Instagram, adding that it was “A blind date. Not exactly conventional but crazy, powerful, raw and eye-opening nonetheless. (A first for me.)”
6 Lala Kent's Mystery Man Was Producer Randall Emmett
Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent has been speaking about a mystery boyfriend for a long time, and that boyfriend is apparently Randall Emmett. The pair made their romance official when they posed for photos at Sundance Film Festival in January of 2018, but they are rumored to have been dating for 18 months prior to this.
Her relationship caused a lot of controversies and Kent received intense criticism from her co-stars for having an affair with a mystery man. According to Page Six, the pair were first spotted kissing in December, which is the same month Emmett finalized his divorce from wife, Ambyr Childers.
Kent has big plans for the future and told Us Weekly, “We’re not in a rush to get married, but yeah, I see that happening. And I see us having a family, it’s just all about timing.”
5 Katy Perry And Orlando Bloom Just Can't Quit Each Other
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were one of the cutest couples in Hollywood, so fans were shocked when they broke up. However, 11 months after their split there are rumors that they are now back together again!
According to Page Six, after a luxury trip to the Maldives at the Amilla Fushi resort, the former couple decided to rekindle their romance. In February, a source told The Sun Online, “They’re back on. Katy wants to make things work this time around. She tried, but she couldn’t cut him off. She cares too much about him. This time, they’re keeping things low key — but they’re back together.”
The pair have reportedly also been active on social media and have been liking each other’s posts on Instagram.
4 Justin Theroux And Petra Collins Are Rumored To Be More Than Friends
Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston shocked everyone when they announced their decision to divorce, but what's even more shocking is that just one month later, Theroux has been linked to a new woman. According to reports, the actor and Petra Collins are dating.
Collins has been featured on Theroux’s Instagram account, and according to Cosmopolitan, they have been having dinner together for months, but that’s not exactly concrete evidence of a relationship. This is why we bring you the report from Star (via The Sun), who claims a source has revealed that they "hit it off right away" after meeting on the New York art scene. A source also said, “Justin and Petra have been carrying on for some time. He insists that they’re just ‘friends,’ but he seems obsessed with her, and Jen isn’t buying it.”
3 Aaron Rodgers And Danica Patrick Are The IT Couple Of The Sporting World
NASCAR driver Danica Patrick and Green Bay Packers player Aaron Rodgers are a couple. According to People. The pair first met at the 2012 ESPY Awards.
"We've just been sort of friends the whole time, kept in vague touch and seen each other at the ESPYs almost every year, and other places," Patrick told For the Win (Via E!News). "So one thing led to another, and we realized how similar we were, and yeah, that got the ball rolling."
Despite knowing each other for a few years, it seems things only turned romantic in 2018. The couple first fueled dating rumors when they were spotted having dinner in January with friends at a Mexican restaurant, although an eyewitness told TMZ that they didn't show any PDA on this evening. And then Patrick later confirmed the rumors they were together to The Associated Press, saying, "Yes, Aaron and I are dating."
2 Bella Hadid Apparently Cozied Up To Kendall's Ex, Jordan Clarkson
Often celebrities who run in the same circles end up dating the same guys. Take Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas, who then dated her BFF, Gigi Hadid, for example. And if rumors are to be believed, then Bella Hadid has been dating Jordan Clarkson, who has been linked to her bestie, Kendall Jenner.
In January of 2018, an Us Weekly source claimed Clarkson and Hadid had started “hooking up” and also claimed that they had been spending a lot of time together over the past few weeks. Are you shipping this romance? Well, not so fast because Hadid responded to a tweet from Perez Hilton about how she had been hooking up with Clarkson by simply writing, "I am?" followed by a confused face. This brief response seems to rubbish those rumors.
1 Blac Chyna Has Eyes For A Much Younger Man, YBN Almighty Jay
Blac Chyna’s love life has always been a bit complicated and she’s forever making headlines about it, but she has a new man in her life and maybe this relationship is the one that will last. Chyna has been linked to 18-year-old rapper YBN Almighty Jay, and in February, they were photographed holding hands while out in Studio City, California.
It must be a pretty new romance because it only really came on everyone’s radar last month, but it is official because Chyna told TMZ reporters, “Yeah. We’re, like, dating.” It may seem like a very odd pairing, not because he’s a rapper because we know Chyna has a thing for rappers, but because of the age difference and the different places that these two could be in their lives. But, they do seem to have fun together and their dates have included bowling.
