Celebrity Couples that Don't Make Sense

Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott

As someone with a twin, I used to love the Property Brothers, and learning that one of them was dating Miss Jessica Day herself was so confusing to me.

Zooey Deschanel, known best for her roles in the FOX network sitcom “New Girl” and in the movies “Elf” and “500 Days of Summer,” is now engaged to partner Jonathan Scott.

Scott and his brother, Drew Scott, make up the popular HGTV duo the Property Brothers. The brothers help people find fixer-uppers and remodel them to turn them into their dream homes.

There is just something about this pairing that makes no sense to me, and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Now that some time has passed, I can say that I think they’re cute together, but at first it was almost jarring.

Deschanel and Scott met in summer 2019 while filming “Carpool Karaoke” and have been dating since. They even quarantined together in 2020.

The two announced their engagement in August 2023, shortly after their fourth anniversary. – Isabelle Charboneau

Chris Evans and Alba Baptista

Chris Evans has always been a fan favorite actor and celebrity crush. However, this all changed recently when he was secretly married in Boston to Alba Baptista. This new couple isn’t done anytime soon, as they are planning a second wedding ceremony in Portugal so Baptista’s family can enjoy the celebration.

Hopefully the newlyweds are having a wonderful time celebrating their romance, but this couple just doesn’t make sense. Evans and Baptista were never known to the public eye, when did they even start dating?

Evans has always been assumed to be dating other actresses, such as Scarlett Johnannson and Ana de Armas. These possible relationships have always made sense, as they’ve done multiple movies together and are close in age.

Evans and Baptista do not make sense because they are extremely different in age (16 years) and have literally never been seen together. Chris Evans and Alba Baptista deserve happiness, but I would not be shocked if there is a rumor of divorce in a couple years. – Grace Bowman

Bad Bunny & Kendall Jenner

When the news of their relationship first broke last February, Bad Bunny fans were devastated and concerned.

All over TikTok were speculations that this relationship was a PR stunt based on videos of Kendall Jenner appearing disinterested and embarrassing Benito in public.

Many went as far to say that Jenner displayed “mean girl” behavior, especially from very shady attitude towards him in videos posted of their night out at a basketball game last May.

Since then, they have been out of public view, until last August when news broke about their vacation to the Gozzer Ranch Golf & Lake Club in Idaho.

What came out of this romantic getaway? A viral video of the Latin artist warning Jenner to be careful, not because of the risk of rabies from the squirrel she thought was “so cute,” but because of the mosquitos.

Not being able to finish each other's sentences? Just another sign that proves Benito and Jenner’s stars simply aren’t aligned.

Anyway, fans will continue to cross their fingers that the alleged Kardashian curse will not make its way to the “Where She Goes” singer. – Abby Chachoute
