Hollywood has produced a plethora of famous couples over the years. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis and John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are some of the most known Hollywood couples. As a result of a certain level of fame, it is not shocking to find out that these celebrities are in relationships with one another. However, there are some Hollywood matches that are so surprising, they almost make you wonder if these celebrities even live within the same universe as each other. Whether it is a combination of actors and athletes or musicians and businessmen, Hollywood has created some odd pairs of power couples in recent years. 

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox

One of the most recent couples on this list to become public is Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox. Their relationship began in 2020, but officially became confirmed after the debut of his music video for “Bloody Valentine” which starred Fox. With Machine Gun Kelly being a rapper and Fox an actress, it was quite interesting to see that the two of them had started dating. It feels like they live in different realms, but one thing that they do share in common is the fact that they are both parents.  

Zoey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott

This relationship is by far the most confusing Hollywood couple at the moment. Initially, I wondered how they met each other. I guess that being in Hollywood provides many connections. Deschanel is an actor and Scott has a home improvement show on HGTV. To this day I am still shocked when I remember that these two people intermingle on a daily basis. 

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara

One of the best moments of 2017 was learning that Meghan Trainor was going to be marrying Daryl Sabara, the kid from Spy Kids. Sabara has not been consistently acting since he was a child, and thus has moved out of the limelight. This is why his engagement to Trainor was so astonishing. Furthermore, it was ultimately a connection with Chloe Grace Moretz that scored him a date with Trainor. Moretz was also a good friend of Meghan and decided to set them up. 

Elon Musk and Grimes 

Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has been dating the musician Grimes since 2018. I can wholeheartedly say that I never foresaw this relationship emerging in Hollywood. Although it appears to be an unlikely pairing, the two have already had a child together and continue to maintain a relationship as loving partners and parents. 

Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers

Recently on the Tonight Show, Shailene Woodley confirmed her engagement to football star Aaron Rodgers. This came as a complete surprise since nobody even knew that they were dating. Their relationship first began in the spring of 2020 during the height of quarantine, and remained a mix of long distance and in person dating throughout the year. It is unfathomable how Woodley and Rodgers are connected, since she is a popular actor in Hollywood and he is an elite athlete in the NFL. 

Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song

My favorite odd Hollywood couple is Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song, purely because they are two of my favorite childhood actors. They have been dating since 2017 with no engagement, yet I can still imagine them being together for time to come.
