Sometimes two celebrities are so perfect for each other, you could never picture either one of them with anyone else — but what fun is that? HollywoodLife.com is taking a look at some of our favorite recent “WTF” couples, from Doug Hutchison and his teen brideCourtney Stodden to Jennifer Lopez and surprise rebound — her 24-year-old backup dancer, Casper Smart!

Blake Lively shocked the world when she secretly started hooking up with Leonardo DiCaprio and suddenly became his number one girl.

Vanessa Hudgens broke her fans’ hearts when she broke things off with Zac Efron to be with Josh Hutcherson. However, what really surprised everyone was her relationship with the adorable Austin Butler, especially because he hung out in her friend circle when she was with Zac!

After George Clooney‘s relationship with Elisabetta Canalis went south, he quickly rebounded with another former Dancing with the Stars competitor and ex-wrestler Stacy Keibler. Did YOU see that coming? Neither did we!

There was no relationship this year perhaps more unexpected than the one between Sean Penn, 51, and Scarlett Johansson, 27. Not surprisingly, the love story between the two faded out rather quickly.

First it was Bradley Cooper, and then Jennifer Lopez fell for her 24-year-old backup dancer, Casper Smart! While we’re impressed by Casper’s resume (he’s danced with EVERYONE), J. Lo’s ex-husband, Marc Anthony, is less than pleased with Casper being around their toddler twins.

Okay, so Kylie Jenner and Cody Simpson aren’t a totally shocking celebrity couple. They are both young, darling and blossoming A-listers. However, we thought it was funny how quickly sparks flew. After they met at the Breaking Dawn premiere in LA, they started dating right away.

Blake Lively sure has had a busy year! After dating Leonardo DiCaprio, the 24-year-old Gossip Girl actress quickly fell for Ryan Reynolds. She even would take the train out to Boston from NYC just for the night to see Ryan when he was shooting.

Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald were definitely one of the most random couples of 2011. The Twilight actress is a huge American Idol fan and met Paul when he was a contestant last season. They quickly fell in love and were married last fall.

The Vampire Diaries actor Taylor Kinney, 30, metLady Gaga, 25, on the set of her “Yoü And I” video — but their surprise chemistry kept up long after the cameras stopped rolling.

51-year-old Lost actor Doug Hutchison revealed his marriage to then-16-year-old Courtney Stodden in July 2011. In a disturbing interview, Doug defended theirMay-December romance by saying, “Fifty-one plus sixteen equals love.”
