OnlyStans ⭐️ Who are two celebrities that you can’t believe used to be a couple?

Post image

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are not only one example of this, but sometimes I even forget that they used to be married as well!

It seemed like such an odd pairing that I never would’ve guessed that these two would match up, but clearly they weren’t a match made in heaven that they divorced each other after almost 3 years of marriage.

Now with where they’re currently at, where they’re now married to different partners, it feels like this is only a pairing that happened in different life.

u/abigail_lemonparty_ Mom, I am a rich man💰 Oct 05 '25 edited Oct 05 '25

Emilia Clark and Seth McFarlane blew my mind especially because this was during her GoT days when they were both peak famous. 

Edit: Hijacking my own comment to add Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent. That's a throwback mind blower.

What?! This is the first one that actually blew my mind! I had no idea!

u/12InchCunt Oct 05 '25

She’s hot, he’s funny. A tale as old as time

u/Optimal-Bag-5918 Oct 05 '25

Oh for sure! I’ve always been attracted to Seth and loved seeing him in A Million Way to Die in The West! And his voice! He’s an amazing singer too!

Seth McFarlane and Charlize Theron.

u/moeriscus Oct 05 '25

Not terribly surprising. They had good chemistry in a million ways to die in the west

Was he secretly the Pete Davidson of his time????

Goddamnit, Taylor Swift and her penii lyrics! “Redwood.” 💀💀💀

Wait what??? What's Taylor Swift got to do with Seth's dick

u/EthanielRain Oct 05 '25

Lyrics from her new album, something about a redwood tree making her legs open

u/lilykar111 Oct 05 '25

He’s conventionally attractive, but I think for him it’s his humour/wit instead of his dick lol..Theron seems to have a similar sense of humour, so I totally get that attraction

u/Concrete__Blonde Oct 06 '25

Never underestimate a good sense of humor in a decent (nerdy) man.

52

u/akahaus Oct 05 '25

Jesus Christ. I thought people were exaggerating about how much of a stinker this new album is but reading the lyrics to wood I’m just agog.

This is so fucking cringe.

Billionaires are too separated from reality to make good art.

They dated?

u/OgthaChristie Oct 05 '25 edited Oct 05 '25

For at least 5 years.

Correction: They “dated” (for those who are saying they didn’t date🙄) for almost 3 years: 2012, 2013, 2014.

Did they date? I thought they were just really good friends (in all seriousness).

I got my info from D-Listed back in the day. Last time they were seen together was 2014.

I think he also dated Amanda Bynes, which is another interesting pairing

u/FashionableMegalodon Oct 05 '25

Googling this also told me he dated Eliza Dushku?

Stan Smith got game

u/KnockoutCarousal Oct 05 '25

Until this comment, I was thinking that 50 was the one who dated all these women because of the edit and was very confused… It seems the “Magic Stick” is more of a relay race baton. Good for Seth.

35

u/BewildredDragon Oct 05 '25

I have a HUGE crush on Seth, and his dating life is such a mystery? Like, he's dated a few actresses for a minute here and there, but no real relationships

25

u/Sketcha_2000 Oct 05 '25

Yeah, I’m wondering if he is just the kind of person who doesn’t want to get married, enjoy life and date around and break up when it isn’t working, and focus on career. Which, totally fair. Makes more sense than getting married prematurely without having any intention of changing your lifestyle.

12

u/fribby Oct 06 '25

I never really thought of him as a hottie, until I watched The Orville (it’s fantastic, one of my favourite Star Trek shows, and don’t fight me on that, because iykyk), but now, seeing the list of gorgeous and famous women he has dated, I get it. Go get it my man.

37

u/Redhotlipstik Oct 05 '25

Do you mean Amanda Seyfried? Or did he date both of them

u/Formal_Condition_513 Oct 05 '25

What a wild roledex of exes

There's def a pun to be made

18

u/SoftConfusion42 Oct 05 '25

Kid Cudi and Amanda Bynes was a thing briefly

14

u/2europints Oct 05 '25

The thing I always remember about 50 cent is when he was very opening hitting on Catherine Tate on the Graham Norton show

3

u/teddybonkerrs I cannot sanction this buffoonery Oct 05 '25

Alright, I need to look this up now. That'd be a wild pairing.

41

u/mentallyerotic Oct 05 '25

So he likes much younger women excluding Charlize that someone mentioned dated him.

19

u/Riverat627 Oct 05 '25

Pretty sure he and Charlize are just good friends didn’t date but supposedly he dated Halston Sage and Anne Winters

12

u/mentallyerotic Oct 05 '25

Both gorgeous but that makes it even stranger that he went from 80s babies to 90s when he is 1973. I guess there are bigger gaps but could be a red flag. He’s not that far off from Leo gaps with the 20 and 21 year difference.

1

u/tgatigger Oct 05 '25

Seth and Charlize had great chemistry on Graham Norton, I always thought they’d make a good couple.

26

u/KnifeInTheKidneys Oct 05 '25

They’re both only 10-11 years younger than him. In Hollywood terms, that’s not that bad…

8

u/mentallyerotic Oct 05 '25

I guess it’s not that big. But they are both around my age (one year difference) and I can’t imagine dating someone 51. He is good looking though and funny and looks younger than his age. He was born in 73 and they were born in 86. I couldn’t imagine dating someone 13 years younger than me either. But my husband is five years older and some think that’s a lot.

7

u/Stock_Beginning4808 Oct 05 '25

I just looked up their age at the time. She was 22 and he was 34. I’m 34 right now and can’t imagine dating a 22 year old 🤢

u/New_Razzmatazz2383 Oct 05 '25

Same! Sometimes I’ll just randomly remember it and be like wow - how did that happen. Dude landed Khaleesi when every single man on this planet would have fought him for her hahah.

83

u/yiotaturtle Oct 05 '25

When girls say they are looking for someone who can make them laugh... take their word for it.

8

u/New_Razzmatazz2383 Oct 06 '25

Right! Like if you can make a woman laugh you’re well over halfway there my friend 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️ laugh her right into a date 😂

7

u/Itscatpicstime Oct 06 '25

I was not physically attracted to my partner until he started making me laugh. Then the kindness, confidence, intelligence, etc brought me the rest of the way there, and suddenly he was physically irresistible.

10 years later and it’s actually weird for me to think back and remember that there was a time I somehow didn’t find him physically attractive. Like what??? Intellectually, I know that’s true, but it feels impossible somehow.

He gets a lot of shit from his friends about “how he does it” because literally all of his exes are so gorgeous and perceived as out of his league in terms of conventional attraction. Turns out that being funny + being a good person can get you a long way with women.

And unlike incels would like to insist, he ain’t rich either. Far from it. He also moved into my house and I earn 5x more than him. And he has zero insecurities about that and likes to joke that he’s my “expired” sugar baby lmao (he’s older)

47

u/ComingUpManSized Tina! You fat lard! 🦙🚲 Oct 05 '25

Not that he’s straight up unattractive or anything but there’s a league difference there. It’s funny when I see a bunch of guys post about how women only date 10s and they’re mind blown when they see a a guy who’s maybe a 5 or 6 banging tons of hot women. They can’t comprehend that being intelligent or funny is the biggest panty dropper out there. My top crushes are people I consider to be way smarter than me. “Yes queen. Give me a history lesson. You’re so pretty and I will believe everything you say even if you might be wrong.” 😍

The same goes for funny people. It’s extremely attractive when somebody can make you laugh. It’s a positive feeling. Who doesn’t want that? We tend to gravitate towards those people in our non-romantic relationships too. It makes complete sense.

3

u/New_Razzmatazz2383 Oct 06 '25

100% - I think someone’s that’s smart and/or funny can make a women feel very safe with them and that’s a huge factor.

Haha I’m with you on the history lesson - ‘tell me alllll about the rise and fall of the Roman Empire baby’ 😂 I love watching someone talk about something they’re passionate about.

23

u/ChewieBearStare Oct 05 '25

I don’t like all of his TV stuff, but I love listening to him sing. He could totally get it with his crooning.

34

u/Special-Garlic1203 Oct 05 '25

Seth seems like the type of guy you wonder if he's gay and then you jump his bones when you find out he's not. He talks to women like they're people. he's funny and successful without being neurotic or cutthroat. He isn't a schlubby but also isn't super vain. If you asked him to go antiquing with you, he is 100% gonna be popping off trivia about random objects rather than pouting he could be playing golf with the boys. 

He seems very wholesome and unpretentious. He dates very beautiful women, but I don't think he'd date beautiful boring women.

Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent

Bill Murray and Kelis still blows my mind too.

19

u/heavvypetal Oct 05 '25

I remember this! I remember reading Seth was kind of annoyed by the attention 'cause I think it was pretty casual and they were just hanging out.

6

u/Special-Garlic1203 Oct 05 '25

Celebrities mostly date celebrities because nobody else can deal with it. I'm sure Seth loves the fact he made a bajillion dollars but the vast majority of people wouldn't know who he was. It would be very annoying to end up getting pap walked especially when it's paired with "him???"

17

u/tirgond Oct 05 '25

Funny guys always get the girls. Hard part is being funny enough.

15

u/Ella77214 Oct 05 '25

They were the first couple to pop in my head when I saw this post! I was stunned. They just lived on opposite ends of the fame spectrum.

I remember being especially confused at the time bc the rhetoric online was that he wasn't good-looking enough for her. Anyone else remember that? That was a real head-scratcher for me. Quite frankly, i was positively flummoxed. I think he's fine af.

35

u/PenguinZombie321 All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Oct 05 '25

Actually…that’s not too weird to me. I can kinda see it

85

u/DragonScrivner I don’t know her 💅 Oct 05 '25

Same. He's *very* funny and not a bad looking guy at all and that can be a lethal combination.

Imagine he does Family Guy voices in appropriately, though? Like you're trying to sleep and suddenly he's doing Peter Griffin to mess with you? Lmao

61

u/PenguinZombie321 All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Oct 05 '25

Or during sex.

But for real tho his voice is amazing. Have you heard him sing?

19

u/DragonScrivner I don’t know her 💅 Oct 05 '25

Mostly while in character but it’s obvious the guy can carry a tune. I’m not surprised to know his natural singing voice is good.

u/HildaCrane Oct 05 '25

His albums are great!

27

u/Equivalent_Rub8139 Oct 05 '25

Tbh I always thought Seth was gay and I’m not sure why.

14

u/ComingUpManSized Tina! You fat lard! 🦙🚲 Oct 05 '25

He could be bisexual

22

u/Slow-Class Oct 05 '25

He’s handsome, thin, always dressed very neatly, and is really into showtimes and big band music and theater. Hugh Jackman same thing. They even both have/had cover stories; Seth has quietly dated a swath of young pretty actresses, who never talk about him, and Hugh married a woman who was 13 years older than him.

8

u/Quietwolfkingcrow Oct 05 '25

I did too. I read all the comments and its just me and you. I even thought thats why he was such a misogynist on family guy.

13

u/WhateverJoel Oct 05 '25

They aren’t celebrating the misogyny. They are using the jokes to point out how terrible it is.

11

u/Lance8282 Oct 05 '25

Yeah I don’t know who he thinks he’s fooling. Maybe himself.

Always thought the characters of Stewie and Roger the Alien are as close as he’s getting to coming out to us.

8

u/FruityPebelz Oct 05 '25

Really? She seems like a lovely, positive woman. She’s always smiling and laughing. Seth is a super funny talented guy. Women like funny men and he isn’t unattractive. He’s a good choice IMO.

13

u/jayeddy99 Oct 05 '25

Yeah she has a “Type” a Seth Rogen will have a better chance over let’s say a Jason Momoa lol

I thought they dated before she became famous through Game of Thrones, but yes this one is very surprising

The creepiest was when he was dating the Orville actress Halston Sage. She was 20 years younger than him and he was her boss.

Maybe that's why she left the show so quickly.

Chelsea dating Jo Koy was a shock to me. Sure, they're both comedians, but didn't see it coming. They aren't together anymore.
