Ahh, young love. Could there be anything more promising or positive? We absolutely love to learn of the joy that is experienced between two people who can't keep their hands of each other and are enjoying the honeymoon phase of their new romance. It's all so...syrupy, we're drawn to it like a bear is drawn to honey. This is especially true of celeb couple announcements! Eeeee! The news is just so intoxicating, we get hooked the moment a paparazzi shot is published in any tabloid of two of our fave stars cozying up at a club or on the beach.
While we've established that we all get totally jacked when stars hook up and go public with their coupledom, we also have to admit that our ears can't help but perk up when we also hear of a relationship that's crashing and burning before our very eyes. Sure, we might mourn for their loss and think, "How sad.", but it doesn't change the fact that we want to know all the details of the split. Who broke up with who? Was it amicable, or was there a shocking end to the union? Did someone cheat, or was it a simple inability to find time for each other amidst their fast-paced Hollywood lives?
While the media is currently fixated on many new and hopeful Hollywood couples – publishing stories of how they met and pictures of them snuggling up and smiling lovingly at each other – we're choosing to call out some of these fresh duos and predicting that these hookups are anything but promising. If anyone is interested in taking bets, we're putting our odds on these recent relationships to fail within the next year or two. You heard it here first!
15 Kendall Jenner & Blake Griffin Are Just Dating For Publicity
According to sources Kendall Jenner and Blake Griffin are "serious" about each other – with her attending his games and him attending her lavish birthday party – but we're already doubting how long this union will last. Kendall is not the first Kardashian/Jenner sister to date an all-star athlete, and she definitely won't be the last. For this supermodel and basketball player, it certainly looks like the ideal duo, but for globetrotter Kendall, it's a relationship that's just going to fizzle out as their careers take them all across the nation. While Blake is hitting the court, Kendall is frolicking on the beach with male model after male model, smiling as each picturesque hunk scoops her up in his arms. For the stars of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, athlete boyfriends come and go as quickly as the endorsements they make across social media.
14 Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber Are Just Kidding Themselves
Looks like old flames Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are on the brinks of reuniting for good, despite warnings from Selena's friends to stay away from the Despacito singer. After Selena just got dumped from The Weeknd, she seems to be seeking comfort with the Biebs (someone who just happens to worship the ground she walks on). What better way to rebound than with someone who would take her back in a hot second? For years these two singers tried to make it work, with each of them hurting each other in the process. Both were heartbroken at one time or another by their first loves, making their on-and-off again romance one fated for the dumpster. They should just give up already. Selena can do WAY better and Justin has a lot of growing up to do before he'll deserve someone as hot and classy as Selena. Our prediction for how long this will last? Ninety days, tops.
13 Taylor Swift & Joe Alwyn Won't Last More Than Six Months
Who else is surprised by the fact that Taylor Swift is dating Prada model and B-list actor, Joe Alwyn? We're not buying this relationship at all. Given the fact that everything Taylor does is for publicity, it's no coincidence that their relationship hit the media mere weeks before her new album was about to drop. Since Taylor has been MIA in recent months, this is certainly just a drive for more tabloid stories to pop up about her personal life to help drive record sales. Aside from this all being part of some elaborate plan, we can't forget the fact that a whole total of none of Taylor's relationships end up working. In fact, she's so notorious for going through boyfriends every business quarter that we're sure there's fans out there taking bets for how long this will actually last. Even though friends close to her say that he's "the one" for her, we're sure they're just being nice. After all, that's what friends are supposed to say when their gal starts dating someone new.
12 Chloe Grace Moretz & Brooklyn Beckham Don't Know What They Want
On the surface, the relationship that's budded between young model Brooklyn Beckham and actress-on-the rise, Chloe Grace Moretz looks adorable and promising, but we're here to call it: this cutesy couple won't last. Given the fact that over the last three years they've broken up and gotten back together twice, they're only kidding themselves by giving it a third go. Chloe has talked very publicly about how smitten she is with Brooklyn's mom, Victoria Beckham, that we're almost thinking that she'd rather be close to her than him. Also, this couple is young AF. Chloe is twenty years of age, while Brooklyn is only eighteen. Certainly these two can't be serious enough to take this relationship down the aisle anytime soon, and even if they do, we're sure they'll separate stating "irreconcilable differences" before they're thirty.
11 Scott Disick & Sofia Richie Are Playing With Fire
Keeping Up With The Kardashian star, Scott Disick – ex and Kourtney Kardashian's baby daddy – is looking for something that no woman can satisfy: a marriage to Kourtney. After his desire to marry Kourtney was shut down by the reality star, he went off to find himself a new woman, to which he found model, Sofia Richie (who is fifteen years her junior. Yuck!). Sources say that the two are "in love", but Sofia is telling friends that she's not as happy as she once thought with the father of three. She's "becoming frustrated" by Scott, which is already a relationship red flag in itself, and he's apparently having a difficult time in finding a "fulfilling relationship" post-Kourt. On top of the fact that he ain't over Kourt – and was reportedly furious that he wasn't invited to Khloe's birthday party – he's also been seen on dating app, Badoo, while dating Sofia. Yikes! Yeah, these two definitely won't last.
10 Anna Faris' Rebound With Michael Barrett Is Already Old News
Following the very sad news that married couple and parents, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt, legally separated, Anna certainly didn't waste any time before looking for a new beau. On the brink of turning forty-one, Anna is no spring chicken, which is probably why she's not going to spend any of her single days wallowing and instead decided to jump right back into the dating game with Michael Barrett. In case you're unfamiliar with Michael, don't worry, we're wondering the same thing. Who IS this guy? Apparently he works behind-the-scenes in the film industry, but his and Anna's dating life is certainly not staying behind-the-scenes, which must be a huge b*tch-slap to the face for superstar, Chris. Since the separation is still hella fresh, we're quite sure that Anna will realized she still cares for Chris and just ain't ready for her son to accept a new step-daddy, which will have this union ending before the third volume of Guardians of the Galaxy is released.
9 Ben Affleck & Lindsay Shookus Are Both Headed Towards Single City
Ben Affleck and Saturday Night Live producer, Lindsay Shookus, seems like a couple that never would have happened in the first place, and it's probably a couple that will be over before anyone can remember who Lindsay Shookus is. Ben is the father of three children with fellow actor and ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, whom he is still very attached to. Even though the two have filed for divorce earlier this year, it still hasn't been finalized. In fact, Ben only just moved out of the family home this fall! As he looks for a new home, he's apparently had Lindsay by his side to pick out a place WITH her. WHAT? That's moving a little too fast, even for Hollywood. While he might be enjoying his time with the blonde, he'll soon realize his heart hasn't quite healed, especially when his kids don't want to accept her into the close brood. Add the fact that the actor is facing groping allegations and is in and out of rehab, why would she even want to stay with a man with so much baggage?
8 Sophie Turner & Joe Jonas Aren't Fooling Anyone
One couple who we're totally calling out for breaking things off before anyone can see it happening is newly-engaged twosome, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner. The DNCE singer and star of Game of Thrones have been seeing each other for only a year before announcing their plan for wedded bliss, but with such busy schedules keeping them apart on the regular, how much do they really know each other? Part of the reason Sophie dated Joe in the first place was because he fell into her world of fame; she could cancel on him and he would understand, because career, right? If her publicist says no, then it's a no. It's all part of the industry! So given that information, and their recent adoption of a puppy, it's safe to say that it's moving very quickly for the young starlet. At only twenty-one years old, Sophie isn't ready to settle down with anyone, let alone Joe, who she's only been seeing for a short time. Plus, her career is just beginning, which means her schedule is only going to get more demanding and their time together will very likely result in an extinguished flame.
7 Katie Holmes & Jamie Foxx Won't Make It Down The Aisle
Apparently these two "old friends" have been casually seeing each other since 2013. Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are a couple that seem like they could really go the distance, with each of them visiting each other on and off set, traveling to exotic destinations, and taking romantic, hand-held walks along the beach. However, we've learned the real dirt behind this mature couple: Jamie isn't the commitment type. He says that he's "too busy" to marry Katie, when the truth of the matter is that he's got a wandering eye and can't settle with any one woman, not even Katie. He's been entirely honest with Katie about his love of women, saying that he doesn't want to marry her and would prefer to keep their relationship "casual". Jamie even said that she can date other men if she wants! Basically, they've got some open relationship thing going on that will surely doom any future for these two actors.
6 JLo & Alex Rodriguez Are Two People Who Can't Commit
Okay, so how perfect is this relationship for the tabloids? It's none other than J-Rod; the name mashup between Jennifer Lopez (J-Lo) and former baseball player, Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod). It's the single name to define a Hollywood couple that we've been waiting for since Kimye. Since this name is almost too perfect, we can't help but feel skeptical towards it all. Aside from the couple name that's surely been concocted for media attention, we full on know that these two celebs can't commit to anyone. Alex has famously dated other Hollywood gals, including Cameron Diaz, Madonna, and Kate Hudson, so we know that he has a preference for blondes (something J-Lo is definitely not). And Jennifer has been linked with everyone from Ben Affleck to Marc Anthony to P Diddy. She's been married a total of three times. Could Alex be the lucky fourth hubby-turned-ex? You better believe it.
5 Natalia Dyer & Charlie Heaton Just Need To Grow Their Fan Base
The young and budding stars of the Netflix hit, Stranger Things, are reportedly dating, even if they say they're trying to keep it on the DL. While rumours were circulating about whether these two were or were not dating, they finally went public this fall. THIS. FALL. Which is coincidentally the same time that the second season of the sci-fi show hit the streaming giant's collection. It's possible that they finally found some time to show their love to the world now that the show's filming and media plugs are on a temporary hiatus, but it's also possible that their public canoodling is all a ploy to up their own ratings, publicity, and careers. Since these two certainly don't have much going for them in terms of side gigs, we're pretty sure their publicists put them up to the hand-holding and showing up to events together, all in an effort to help elevate each of their stocks among Hollywood producers.
4 Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Are A Train Wreck Waiting To Happen
The youngest sister of the family who is notorious for failed relationships and the abandoning of their baby daddies, Kylie Jenner, is no doubt about to fall into her sister Kourtney and mom Kris' footsteps (and for once, this bad trend does not include Kim K – who knew?!). While the sisters have all dated and married multiple men throughout the fourteen seasons of KUWTK, we're just waiting for the quickie shotgun wedding and just-as-quick annulment between young Kylie and the meh rapper. While her pregnancy rumours are just that – rumours – we're calling the end of this relationship regardless of whether the social media star is knocked up or not. After all, the family can do just fine without men in their lives, so why should a baby change any of that. Add the fact that Kylie is still super young and "finding herself", we totally think she'll be finding a few new someone's before she truly finds "the one".
3 Sarah Hyland & Wells Adams Met On Social Media, But They'll Soon Change Their Status To "It's Complicated"
After publicly flirting up a storm on Twitter this past summer, Modern Family star, Sarah Hyland, and radio DJ and ex-contestant on Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise have publicized their new infatuation with each other across social media, each posting photos of themselves dressed up on Halloween and even gazing into each others eyes. It's all too adorable for words, but it doesn't mean it's going to last. Sarah's past relationships have all been primarily long-term, and she only just ended her three-year-long relationship with actor Dominic Sherwood this summer (basically around the same time she started flirting with Wells) whom she shares custody of two pooches with. Aside from the obvious observation that Wells is probably just a rebound for Sarah, we have to consider the fact that Wells seems to be desperate for love, given his frequent attempts to literally win love in a contest. That can't be attractive to down-to-earth Sarah. We're sure she'll learn the hard way that Wells is just not her type.
2 Shawn Mendes & Hailey Baldwin Are Dating Just To Elevate Their Careers
The news is stating that young model, Hailey Baldwin, and equally-young singer, Shawn Mendes are "very into each other". YAY. It's cute and all, but here are the facts. Hailey is two years older than Shawn – which isn't, you know, horrible or anything – at almost twenty years old, and Shawn just turned eighteen. That's right, he's still very much a baby. And Hailey was possibly dating Shawn before he even legally became an adult. Not entirely shocking, but still kind of EW. Also, Hailey is close friends with fellow model, Kendall Jenner – who is also cozying up to someone new – so when both relationships fizzle out, they'll be able to lean on each other as they both get pampered and photographed. As Kendall's modeling career skyrockets, we wouldn't be surprised if Hailey wants to achieve similar levels of success, which could possibly mean the failing of young love if she chooses to work (and compete) in the industry.
1 Kourtney Kardashian & Younes Bendjima Are A Done Deal
Two years after her split from Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian is dating the boxing hunk who "saved her" when her and Kim were living in Paris. Originally believing that he was a translator who "hated her", she quickly fell for the dude who wouldn't leave their side during a traumatic (and dramatic) family affair, a mere day after meeting him in a bar. He spoke French in an effort to learn information and won her over by his helpful nature, but also by his aggressive directions over the course of the couple of days. Demands like, "Get your a** over here" and "It's five in the morning. We're leaving." were literally met with adoration, rather than a shocked reaction from Kourtney. While it may be an attractive quality now, it may not be later, especially since the Kardashian woman are definitely the alphas in any relationship. Also, these two have an astounding age difference between them that just can't compute. Kourtney is thirty-eight and has three kids, while Younes is only twenty-four. Pregnant or not, Kourt won't be hanging on to this athlete for long.
