Top 10 Shocking Things You Didn't Know About Celebrity Couples

While Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly can both enter someone’s house without being invited, it turns out this hot couple does have something in common with vampires. MGK and Fox got engaged at the beginning of 2022. In an Instagram post commemorating the event, Fox posted a video of Kelly getting down on his knee to propose under a banyan tree - along with a caption celebrating the strength of their love and their bond to each other. She then ended the caption with “I said yes. …And then we drank each other’s blood.” Oh, okay!

There are couples who move in together before they get married and some who wait till they say “I do”. Both are pretty common. And then there was Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook. Cuoco, who became a household name for playing Penny on “The Big Bang Theory”, and equestrian Karl Cook were married on June 30th, 2018. In September of 2021, they announced their separation. You’d assume this would mean they’d been living together for a little over 3 years, at least, but no. This couple didn’t actually move in together until the start of the Covid pandemic, in March of 2020. The year prio, Cuoco told E! News that their separate living “work[ed] well for [them].” We guess living together didn’t.

In some relationships, exes can pose a problem. Well, for Bill and Melinda Gates, apparently it was the opposite of an issue. Bill and his ex-girlfriend, Ann Winblad, broke up in 1987, but they stayed friends and even continued to take yearly trips together. In 1994, Bill married Melinda, and that’s when, you might assume, those yearly trips stopped. But, you’d be wrong. It turns out that Bill spent annual long weekends away with Winblad for years after he and Melinda were married. And he did it with Melinda’s blessing as part of an agreement she and Bill made before they said their I do’s.

Before they wed in 2017, Brooks Laich knew that Julianne Hough had been on “Dancing With the Stars”. He knew that she had a brother named Derek, and he knew that she had starred in the 2011 remake of the film, “Footloose”. What he didn’t know, is that she’s not straight. As she told Women's Health magazine in 2019, after they were married “I [told him], ‘You know I’m not straight, right?’” to which he responded “I’m sorry, what?” Although they ended up separating the following year, there’s no indication that Hough’s sexuality had anything to do with it. And Hough only had positive things to say about Laich’s love and support for her in all ways.

We’re sure Jay-Z would say that the greatest gift Beyoncé ever gave him was their three beautiful children. But, a close second on that list would have to be a couple of the ridiculously extravagant birthday and father’s day presents she’s given him over the years. What did you get for your 41st birthday? We bet it wasn’t a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport - the fastest car out there. Jay-Z: 1, Us: 0. If that wasn’t enough, while most of the dads out there were getting ties and socks, for Jay-Z’s first father’s day, his Bae got him a $40 million Bombardier Challenger Learjet. He might have 99 problems, but expensive modes of transportation sure ain’t one!

While Prince Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle caused an uproar among many in the royal family, it turns out that wasn’t the first time they’d been up in arms about the Markle family. According to teacher Michael Reed, Meghan’s family tree on her father’s side traces back to a Lord Hussey - a baron who earned favor with Harry’s ancestor, King Henry VIII. However, his goodwill would eventually dissipate when Hussey was unable to stop the 1536 Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion. He was accused of disloyalty and, as punishment, Henry VIII took Hussey’s freedom, his assets, and his head.

If Fergie and Justin Timberlake started dating in 2022, it would be a major story around the world that everyone would be talking about for months. However, in 1996, NSYNC was just getting started, meanwhile Fergie was a member of the girl group Wild Orchid and still known as Stacy Ann Ferguson. She was also in 23 at the time, and he was 16! As for the relationship, Fergie told Cosmopolitan that it was fun but it wasn’t very serious. Timberlake was, as she put it, “Mr. Right Now.” He was also, Mr. Not Old Enough To Drink or Vote - so, it’s probably a good thing that they eventually said “Bye Bye Bye” to each other.

She’s been involved in some shocking eliminations during her 15+ years hosting and judging on “Top Chef”. But, it turns out one of the most shocking things about Padma Lakshmi involved her dating situation when she became pregnant with her daughter, Krishna, who was born in 2010. We now know that Krishna’s father is businessman Adam Dell. However, her time with Dell came while she was also seeing billionaire Theodore J. Forstmann. Unlike Ross and Rachel, neither were “on a break” and a DNA test was needed in order to determine which one of the men was the father.

In January of 2012 Seal sent out a cryptic Tweet that simply read, “The End”. The end of what? The ‘end of the world’ conspiracy didn’t pick up steam until December, so clearly it wasn’t that. While we didn’t know it at the time, it turned out that Seal was alluding to the end of his and Heidi Klum’s seven-year marriage. The couple would later make an official announcement that they had separated, confirming everyone’s suspicions. We all know that it’s not cool to break up with someone via text message, but subtweeting them? Yikes.

Marilyn Monroe is a Hollywood icon and Joe DiMaggio was one of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game. While their marriage only lasted about nine months, DiMaggio’s unquestionable love for Monroe seemingly lasted forever. In fact, many thought the couple were going to get married a second time - rumors that only stopped following Monroe’s tragic death. Not only did he make all of Monroe’s funeral arrangements but he also had roses delivered to her grave every week for 20 years. Some reports say it was twice a week and some say it was thrice. Whatever the number, it’s a streak that belongs in the love hall of fame.
