Now, this is a real WTF, plus Woah, moment. People finally believed the Chelsea Handler and 50 cent rumors when they confirmed it in separate interviews. Handler admitted to flirting with the Grammy award-winning rapper after he attended her show. Then 50 Cent courted her with romantic gestures for months. They had a fling for some months but broke up due to his past relationship with Ciara.

Harry Styles & Olivia Wilde

Everything about Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles' relationship shocked fans, such that the announcement of their breakup after two years together met widespread jubilation. Besides their 10-year age gap with Wilde being older, the circumstances of their romance were ill-fated.

They met on set during the production of Wilde's Don't Worry Darling and started their affair shortly after. Throughout their relationship, the couple ensured paparazzi and fans rarely caught them together and never spoke about the details.

Kim Kardashian, 42 getting with Pete Davidson, 29, for a few months wasn't on anyone's Bingo cards, but it happened. Cue in several tattoos, shades from the reality TV star/business mogul Miley Cyrus, and romantic trips to the Bahamas, then they announced their break up this year.

According to sources, the comedian wanted a serious relationship, and the mother of four didn't have the time or mental capacity to commit to that. Also, their scheduling conflict affected their romance spark.
