6 Celebrity Couples Who Started Dating In 2026

The year 2026 is bringing together couples who are already setting trends in the mass media and on social media.

Only time will tell how long each of these relationships lasts, since fame often gets in the way, but some manage to overcome it.

Here are 6 famous couples who are setting trends right now.

1-Dakota Johnson & Role Model

Following her split from longtime fiancé Chris Martin in mid-2025, Dakota Johnson (36) transitioned into a new chapter. Rumors connecting her to musician Role Model (29)—first flared up in December 2025 when they were seen getting cozy on a night out with friends.

What started as a low-key rumor was solidified in January 2026, when the couple was photographed holding hands and showing affectionate PDA after a dinner date at Los Angeles' trendy restaurant Saffy's. Insiders note that the dynamic has quickly evolved into "more than a fling," with the pair becoming increasingly inseparable.

2-Michelle Randolph & Glen Powell

Twisters star Glen Powell (37) and 1923 actress Michelle Randolph (28) began quietly exploring a connection around October 2025. Fans first caught wind of the pairing in November 2025 when a viral TikTok captured them sharing a close, sweet dance at the famous Broken Spoke dance hall in Powell's hometown of Austin, Texas.

The couple enjoyed a fast-moving holiday season, taking trips together to Miami and St. Barts. Despite the rapid momentum, both actors are fiercely protective of their privacy. Randolph recently stated in interviews that she purposefully keeps her work life and personal life completely separate for her own "peace of mind."

3-Lily Allen & Jonah Freud

Following her split from Stranger Things actor David Harbour, British singer Lily Allen (41) found romance in this year with artist Jonah Freud (29). Freud comes from a highly prominent British lineage—he is a writer, director, and founder of the radical London bookshop Reference Point, as well as the great-great-grandson of famous neurologist Sigmund Freud.

The couple has been proudly public, embarking on romantic getaways to Rome and attending the Valentino fashion show in Paris. Freud was most recently by Allen’s side at the National Portrait Gallery to celebrate the unveiling of her acclaimed West End Girl album cover portrait, with onlookers noting how happy and smitten the singer appears.

4-Kendall Jenner & Jacob Elordi

Rumors of a romance between supermodel Kendall Jenner (30) and Frankenstein actor Jacob Elordi (28) began building steam earlier this year after they were spotted locked in deep conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, followed by hangouts at Coachella.

The speculation reached a fever pitch following a highly publicized tropical getaway to Kaua'i, Hawaii. The duo was spotted picking up wine, sharing coffee, and enjoying breakfast at Nourish Hanalei. While neither star has made an official public statement—both having a history of keeping their high-profile dating lives private—the internet is heavily invested in Hollywood's newest potential power couple.

5-Maia Reficco & Franco Colapinto

Maia Reficco (25), an actress and pop star known for her standout roles in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin and various musical theater productions, found love in the fast lane with Franco Colapinto (22), a rising star driver for the Alpine Formula 1 team. At his young age, Colapinto has a net worth exceeding $5 million, demonstrating sufficient maturity to manage his career and his growing fortune.

After weeks of fans analyzing subtle social media clues, the Boston native and the Argentine athlete officially hard-launched their relationship on the global stage at the Miami Grand Prix. They have quickly become a favorite crossover couple between the entertainment and sports worlds.

6-Ryan Destiny & Keith Powers

Actors Ryan Destiny (31) and Keith Powers (33) boast one of Hollywood's most enduring and beloved "slow-burn" romances. The two multi-talented performers first crossed paths at a Teen Vogue party over a decade ago in 2015, sparking a deep connection that led to years of dating.

After navigating the natural ups and downs of a long-term relationship in the public eye—including a brief period of separation—the couple officially rekindled their romance stronger than ever. They recently took the ultimate next step by announcing their engagement, drawing massive waves of celebration and support from fans and Hollywood peers alike.
