All the New Celebrity Couples Who’ve Made Their Debut in 2026
So many new duos to ship!
With all the celebrity breakups that have already gone down this year (Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke! Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes! Karol G and Feid!), it’s hard to believe that love is even real anymore, right? Wrong. From friends turned lovers (hi, Kim and Lewis) to brand-new love matches (looking at you, Dakota and Role Model), love is in the air, and I am here for it.
If you, like me, simply cannot get enough, then it’s time to take a journey down a romance rabbit hole of all the celebrity couples who’ve debuted their relationships in 2026—and are still going strong! Will any of these couples make it to 2027? It’s too soon to say. But I’m down to start taking bets. (And while you’re here: Feel free to revisit all the brand-new celeb couples that came out of 2025.)
May: Chase Infiniti and Tyriq Withers
After months of fans shipping these two (plus a cute sighting of Chase and Tyriq at the F1 Grand Prix in Miami together), a DeuxMoi tipster shared a photo of the actors on what appeared to be a date in NYC on May 14.
The following day, a People source confirmed the new relationship, saying Chase is “having fun and dating” Tyriq.
April: Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi
Rumors first emerged about these two during the first weekend of Coachella when a DeuxMoi source claimed the two were “all over each other” at an April 11 party.
A People insider later revealed that Kendall and Jacob have “been hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months,” which was followed by a rumored vacay in Hawai‘i the following month, so time will tell whether they’re the real deal!
April: Sasha Farber and Janel Parrish
Not long after DeuxMoi tipsters spotted Janel looking “cozy” with the former DWTS pro, TMZ broke the news of her split from husband, Chris Long, on April 9.
Sasha and Janel have been posting up a storm on social media together ever since, so it seems safe to say things are going well.
April: Madelyn Cline and Henry Smith
The actor and the influencer were first spotted together (by a DeuxMoi tipster, of course) at an April 3 comedy show, and a few days later, a source for Us Weekly confirmed that the two were officially dating.
They have yet to confirm the ’ship themselves, but they have posted several TikToks together, which feels...very telling.
February: Emily Ratajkowski and Romain Gavras
After months of dating rumors, EmRata seemingly confirmed dating rumors by posting a series of loved-up pics of herself with Dua Lipa’s ex on Instagram. We love a hard-launch!
The pair was first linked back in November, when the Daily Mail published pics of the two holding hands and kissing in NYC. They were later spotted together on vacation in Mexico, but now it seems they’re ready to go public.
February: Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian
On February 1, a source for The Sun claimed that Lewis and Kim (who, btw, have been friends for YEARS) “enjoyed an intimate dinner and a couples massage as part of a romantic weekend getaway in the country.”
Soon after, a Daily Mail insider claimed the two were just “friends with benefits” and that “Lewis and Kim are not dating exclusively”...but then they were spotted at the Super Bowl looking very coupley, and things have only progressed from there!
January: Dakota Johnson and Role Model
While Dakota was first spotted with Role Model (aka Tucker Pillsbury) back in late December, it wasn’t until a January 15 outing in L.A. that dating rumors started circulating in earnest.
The pair was then spotted again just a week later holding hands, and while neither has confirmed their relationship status, things seem promising.
