New celebrity couples of 2021

After 17 years, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck started dating again. They first fell in love in 2002 while working on the film Gigli. In 2002, they got engaged and were supposed to get married in September 2003, but the wedding was postponed due to “excessive media attention.” They ended up calling it quits in January 2004. Fast forward to April 2021, when they are both single and ready to mingle with each other again. They’ve been spending a lot of time together ever since and on July 24, 2021, which was Jennifer’s 52nd birthday, they went Instagram official.

Rumors about a possible romance between Jenni Rivera's oldest daughter and celebrity photographer Emilio Sánchez started going around at the beginning of April. The couple made their relationship Instagram official at the end of May and have since professed their love for each other on social media.

"I'm healing certain things and he understands it and that is what I love about him, that he's a person who understands and respects me and that's what I need right now. It's nice to find someone who values you, who values the woman you are, who respects your work, who lets you be… I'm enjoying that and let's see what happens in the future," Chiquis told MamásLatinas in October.

Before getting back together with Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck was dating Ana de Armas. They dated for about a year and broke up in January according to In Touch. In June, Page Si* reported that Ana had been dating Tinder VP Paul Boukadais for a few months and that they are exclusive.

On October 8, 2021, Clarissa Molina posted a steamy photo of herself and her new boyfriend Vicente Saavedra. The El Gordo y La Flaca presenter made it clear how she feels about her love interest with the following caption:

In this and the next life I choose YOU a million times!
May God always fill you with a lot of life and health, and continue to be the great human being that you are, noble, with a great heart, a good son, a great father, and always ready to give the best of you. Happy Birthday my love!!!

On June 29, singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo and producer Adam Faze went to the Space Jam 2 movie premiere and E! reported that she introduced him as her “boyfriend.” Then in July 2021, paparazzi took pics of the couple smooching in Los Angeles while leaning on a car.

So, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have known each other since at least 2019 through mutual friends. Then on October 9, Kim hosted Saturday Night Live and kissed Pete during an Aladdin skit. At the end of October, Kim and Pete were photographed holding hands at Knott’s Scary Farm. A source at the time said they were just friends, but NAH, they are rumored to be dating and there are plenty of photos of them holding hands to back that up at this point.

Usually when two people hold hands the way that Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro were seen holding hands in Los Angeles back in August it means that they are more than friends. Well, in September the two musical lovebirds started featuring each other on their social media feeds and made it clear that they are a couple. Should we call them Rosauw o Rausalía?

In January, eagle-eyed internet sleuths noticed that they were spending time together in Palm Springs. They went on to spend most of the year shamelessly smooching on each other publicly. Then on October 17, they got engaged.

Over the summer of 2021, paparazzi snapped pictures of Zendaya and Tom Holland kissing. They were both bummed about the photos, not because they aren’t into each other, but because they consider it an invasion of privacy. "One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn't really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world," Tom told GQ. Did you notice the part where he said “two people that love each other very much?”

“Channing and Zoë are dating,” a source told Us in August. They got to know each other while working together on Zoë Kravitz’s film, Pussy Island. Zoë wrote the film and created a character with Channing Tatum in mind. “Chan was my first choice, the one I thought of when I wrote this character,” Zoë told Deadline. “I just knew from Magic Mike and his live shows, I got the sense he’s a true feminist and I wanted to collaborate with someone who was clearly interested in exploring this subject matter.”

The 2021 Billboard Music Awards were held on May 23, 2021. Marc Anthony was one of the scheduled performers. He walked the red carpet with model Madu Nicola and they very publicly confirmed their relationship with a kiss while being photographed.

Adele’s divorce from Simon Konecki was finalized in March. In July she was seen at an NBA game with sports agent Rich Paul. Then on September 19, Adele posted a series of photos—the last one features her with Rich Paul—on Instagram with the caption being a lone red heart.

In February, People confirmed that the pair were dating. On June 19, Adrien Brody and fashion designer Georgina Chapman walked the red carpet of the Tribeca Film Festival arm and arm the premiere of Adrien’s movie Clean.

They were rumored to be dating since 2020, but it wasn’t until January 2021 and Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey, comedian Steve Harvey’s daughter, seemingly went Instagram official. Michael posted a picture and video of them spending time frolicking in the snow.

OK, so over the summer Renée Zellweger was filming an episode for Ant Anstead’s Discovery+ series Celebrity IOU: Joyride and they hit it off supremely well. TMZ was the first to report that the two were dating.

Olivia Wilde and Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis, who have two children together, decided to end their romantic relationship and went public with the news in January. Supposedly, the breakup was amicable. In January, Olivia was spotted holding hands with Harry Styles, who she had cast in her film Don’t Worry Darling, and they have been holding hands ever since.
