J.Lo and A-Rod (J-Rod?) and More Fresh Celeb Couples of 2017

Seems like these celebs shared the same new year’s resolution: start a hot new romance. Here are the newest celeb couples 2017 (so far!)

New year, new celeb romances? From Selena Gomez and The Weeknd and Lady Gaga and Christian Carino to J.Lo’s rumoured new man, 2017 has already blessed us with many juicy new star couples to stalk (and to create nicknames for). We rounded up the newest, cutest and perhaps most surprising 2017 celeb couples.

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez

Our first thought when we read this was “Wait didn’t they already date?” but alas, while the former baseball star has romanced many A-listers including Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson, the J-Rod relationship is brand new. People magazine reports that they’ve been seeing each other for a couple of weeks and that J-Lo liked this Instagram pic of A-Rod’s just hours before news of their romance broke so that obvs means it’s serious, right? I guess that means #DrayLo is donezo? Oh well, we like the nickname J-Rod better anyway.

Lady Gaga and Christian Carino

Looks like Lady Gaga had one more reason to grin on Super Bowl weekend: a new romance with her talent agent Christian Carino. The two were spotted cheesing for selfies on the field during the photo call before Gaga’s epic performance. Carino is a relative normal compared to Gaga but he’s no stranger to rubbing elbows with major stars—the CAA agent has repped celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber and Margot Robbie.

Suki Waterhouse and Diego Luna

The model and actress (and former Bradley Cooper flame) was just seen smooching the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actor in Tulum,Mexico. Caliente! (And p.cute TBH).

The Weeknd and Selena Gomez

We’ve all seen the paparazzi shots of The Seeknd by now, right? (Did we just coin that?) Their new romance has reportedly ruffled the (angel wing) feathers of The Weeknd’s ex Bella Hadid who ICYMI, is the sister of Gigi Hadid who shares BFF Taylor Swift with Gomez. Phew. Aside from the six degrees of separation dramz, we’re intrigued by this new pairing.

Amber Rose and Val Chmerkovskiy

When we first spotted this new couple, we thought maybe Amber Rose was dating a full-on regular human but turns out this tall, dark and handsome is a pro on Dancing With The Stars and we must say, they are pretty darn cute. After they got caught in the Kiss Cam at a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden earlier this week—where he gave her the sweetest little peck on the cheek instead of slobbering all over her face, chic—they both shared the moment on their respective Instas. Rose captioned the clip “Why is he so cute tho” while Chmerkovskiy wrote “Jumbotron vibes with my boo.” All together now: awwwwww!

Drake and J-Lo

These two. We almost can’t fully commit, largely because it still reeks a little bit like a publicity stunt but if their (cough, staged, cough) Insta shots  are to be trusted, #DrayLo is a thing. And while we’re here for their new portmanteau, we’re skeptical about whether this romance is built to last.

Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix

The actors reportedly fell in love on the set of their new biblical film Mary Magdalene where they play, yep, Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ. Page Six said it best with their indelicate headline “Hollywood’s Jesus & Mary hooking up.”
