Patrick Schwarzenegger

…who just happens to be the son of former California governor (and Terminator) Arnold. The two were spotted making out at a USC football game in fall of 2014. (Is it just me, or should Schwarzenegger pay a liiiiittle more attention to Cyrus and less to his phone in this photo?)

Zedd

Gomez and Zedd recently shared Instagram pics featuring the other, including one of Gomez lounging in bed. An odd match, but, hey, at least she’s trying to get over Justin Bieber.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Rumor has it that the Wolf of Wall Street actor and the “S&M” singer had quite a few “midnight hookups” in January of 2015.

Kimberly Stewart

…probably because it led to a daughter! Stewart and Del Toro had a brief relationship in 2010, which was kept mostly under the radar. In 2011, Stewart gave birth to their child, Delilah.

Taylor Swift

Tabloids looooved to talk about the alleged hookup between these two celebrities — probably because they’d make an impossibly gorgeous couple!

Karlie Kloss

Okay, okay… so this probably didn’t REALLY happen. But what is so random is that everyone thought that it did. The two were allegedly seen “canoodling” at an event, which led to tabloids speculating that they were, in fact, macking. Swift fired back on Twitter about how ridiculous the whole thing was. Can’t two semi-identical celebs hang out without everyone suspecting it's more than that?

Zac Efron

Rodriguez and Efron were hot and heavy for a few weeks back in the summer of 2014, and were even spotted hooking up at a club in Ibiza. Unfortunately, the fling didn’t last.

Ian Somerhalder

The Twilight actress and the Vampire Diaries star got together not long after both split with their significant others. (Reed was actually pals with Somerhalder’s ex, Nina Dobrev!) They’re still together, and rumor has it that they might be walking down the aisle in the future…

Big Sean

The rapper didn’t waste any time getting with this pop star after his relationship with Naya Rivera fell apart.

Ariana Grande

Grande confirmed her relationship with the “IDFWU” rapper to Telegraph Magazine in October of 2014, even calling him one of the most “amazing men” in the world. The two are pretty hot and heavy, especially considering both got out of serious relationships — him with Glee actress Naya Rivera, and her with Jai Brooks.

Lea Michele

Eyebrows were raised when this Glee actress started dating her current beau.

Matthew Paetz

One year after the death of her boyfriend Cory Monteith, Michele began dating Paetz — whom the press quickly found out used to be an online gigolo. Sure, it’s not exactly the easiest info to swallow, but these two are still together and seem crazy happy — which really is the most important thing.

Rumor has it that the “West Coast” singer has a thing for pale dudes.

Ryan Seacrest

Back in 2006, Seacrest took Hatcher out on three occasions before deciding to end things with the TV star. The really bad news? It was right after their very first kiss.

Ashley Olsen

Leto was allegedly seen canoodling with one-half of the Olsen twins in May of 2014. Kind of random, sure — but am I the only one who thinks that this pair could totally be a thing?!

Russell Brand

Apparently this guy has a thing for pop stars.

Geri Halliwell

From Katy Perry to a Spice Girl! The two Brits allegedly hooked up not long after Brand’s divorce from his wife, but things didn’t last.

Kristen Stewart

Things got reallll scandalous when the Snow White and the Huntsman actress was seen smooching her married director.

Rupert Sanders

Paparazzi caught Sanders and Stewart making out, which shocked fans — but probably not as much as it shocked their significant others. Sanders was married to former model Liberty Ross and Stewart was attached to her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.

Val Kilmer

Kilmer and Hilton’s tryst was exposed in an Australian magazine. The tabloid ran photos of the two celebrities getting hot and heavy, despite the fact that the Top Gun actor once criticized the socialite for being “famous for nothing.”

Cara Delevingne

The model/actress raised eyebrows way less fierce than hers when she hooked up with this celeb.

Michelle Rodriguez

Looks like her tryst with Zac Efron wasn’t the only surprising hookup Rodriguez had in 2014! She also got together with Delevingne for a quick romance early in the year. The two were spotted kissing at a basketball game.
