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.)
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 claims the two are just “friends with benefits” and that “Lewis and Kim are not dating exclusively”...but then they’re spotted at the Super Bowl looking very coupley so time will tell!
January: Dakota Johnson and Role Model
While Dakota was first spotted with Role Model 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.
January: Alix Earle and Tom Brady
To kick off 2026, DeuxMoi dropped a video of Alix and Tom looking super flirty while yachting in St. Barts over New Year’s. Dating rumors continue to circulate over the next month, especially after the maybe-couple was spotted yet again—and dancing this time!—at a pre-Super Bowl party.
A Daily Mail source later claimed the relationship is “a fling at best” and that “nothing has happened between them as of yet,” but stay tuned for updates.
