Kanye West and Julia Fox are the most bizarre celebrity couple to have happened so far in 2022.
The pair had a whirlwind romance after meeting on New Year’s Eve and apparently feeling an “instant connection”.
On their second date Kanye treated US actress Julia to a new designer wardrobe which was waiting for her in a hotel suite.
He even gifted her and her pals Birkin handbags as she celebrated her 32nd birthday in New York.
But things seem to have fizzled out between the high profile pair – with Julia reportedly dumping Kanye as he is still hung up on his ex, Kim Kardashian.
As another celebrity romance ends, we look back on the other star couplings which seemed great at the time, but didn't last very long.
Justin Bieber and Sofia Richie – 1 month
Justin Bieber is now happily married to wife Hailey Baldwin. Before that he dated Selena Gomez for five years.
But inbetween his famous exes he found time to squeeze in an unlikely fling with Sofia Richie.
The singer dated Lionel Richie’s daughter for around a month in August 2016.
Although their romance was short-lived they found plenty of time to pack on the PDA for Instagram and were spotted on vacation in Mexico for her 18th birthday and Japan.
Sofia later went on to date Kourtney Kardashian’s ex Scott Disick, but the pair split in March 2021 after three years together.
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddlestone – 3 months
Who can forget Hiddleswift? Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddlestone had a very public relationship back in the summer of 2016.
They were spotted dancing at the Met Gala – while Taylor was still with ex Calvin Harris. Then there was the time they were papped kissing near Taylor’s Rhode Island home.
Tom even wore an ‘I Heart T.S’ T-Shirt for Taylor’s Fourth of July party, which led to speculation their romance was all a PR stunt – and the fact Tom couldn’t shut up about it.
Despite Taylor allegedly telling pals Tom was “The One” and Tom claiming their romance was very much “real”, by September it was all over.
The pair reportedly broke up the night before the Emmys after Taylor felt “uncomfortable” about Tom’s desire to be “so public” with their relationship.
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson – less than 6 months
With all the Pete and Kanye drama going on – Pete is now dating his ex Kim Kardashian – you’d be forgiven for forgetting the comedian’s romance with Ariana Grande.
Not only were this celebrity pair a couple, Pete even put a ring on it after just one month of dating in June 2018.
Ariana was so in love she even named a song after Pete on her fourth album, Sweetener.
But by October they had called it quits with Ariana calling their relationship “unrealistic”.
She ended it with Pete when the news broke that her ex Mac Miller had died. Ariana has since married luxury estate agent Dalton Gomez.
Joe Jonas and Gigi Hadid – 6 months
Gigi Hadid is now a mum to 19-month old daughter Khai, who she shares with ex Zayn Malik.
But back in 2015, the supermodel enjoyed a six-month romance with Joe Jonas – with fans even nicknaming them ‘G.I Joe’.
The pair apparently split over their busy work schedules, but Joe later said in an interview he would “kill” Gigi in a game of “Marry, Shag, Kill”, suggesting things may have turned sour.
Joe added he would marry ex Demi Lovato and sleep with ex Taylor Swift.
Though these days Joe has his hands full being married to Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner and running around after their 19-month-old daughter Willa.
