15 Hottest Celeb Couples Of 2016 We Are Obsessed With

2016 was a big year in a lot of different ways, and that's especially true of celebrities who coupled up between January and December. Over the past twelve months, we've seen old exes reunite (and were super excited about it) and celebs finally admit there was a spark between them after flirting forever. We've also seen stars start dating people that we never, ever would have expected them to. It's been a year of big, romantic surprises to say the least! A few of the following relationships actually got started in 2015, but they still blossomed throughout the following year. Thanks to award show public displays of affection, cheesy-but-cute Instagram posts, and declarations of love on talk shows and over Twitter, we've definitely seen these relationships grow into something beautiful. While we ship some more than others, you can't deny that they're all totally cute! Here are the 15 hottest superstar couples of 2016. Some of them might not be together anymore but that's ok!

15 Khloé Kardashian And Tristan Thompson

Kourtney and Kim's little sister Khloé might have had a rough time with a few of her exes, (aka sports star Lamar Odom), but her romantic future is definitely looking super bright. In 2016, she started things up with Tristan Thompson, a 25-year-old player for the Cleveland Cavaliers. What can we say? It definitely seems like Khloé has a thing for athletes, and who can blame her?! The couple first drew attention when they were spotted vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Forget the Hollywood celebrity-spotting tour, Cabo is definitely the place to go if you ever want to see a star. We swear that's where they all go! Anyways, after they got papped, Khloé confirmed that the two are a thing via Instagram, where she posted a snap of her wearing Tristan's championship ring. Cute! Khloé might just be our fave Kardashian (shhh, don't tell the others), so we hope she's finally found love with Tristan.

14 Selena Gomez And Charlie Puth

We love this couple! Although recently it's looking like Selena is linked up to our favorite starboy The Weeknd, we were still super excited about these rumors in 2016! While Charlie apparently denied that they ever dated, the two were the center of media attention back in March when a source told Us Weekly that Selena was “super into him." Whether or not anything was going on between the two, it's clear that they're good friends, as they did a duet for the awesome song “We Don't Talk Anymore” (which you've definitely heard, unless you've been living under a rock!). Back in 2015, Charlie had this to say about Selena: "I don't know if anyone really understands me, which is why I hang out with Selena Gomez. She gets me." That sounds like the perfect basis on which to build a relationship. So while we don't know if there's any truth to this rumor, we hoped that there is!

13 Chloe Grace Moretz And Brooklyn Beckham

Okay, this relationship was sort of short-lived, but we definitely enjoyed it while it lasted. Chloe Grace Moretz is a promising actress who's starred in recent blockbuster hits like Carrie and The Fifth Wave. Chloe found herself in the bad books of Kim Kardashian when she lectured Kim via Twitter on her decision to take nude photographs. Kim insinuated that nobody even knows who Chloe is (ouch) and we have to hand it to Chloe for being brave enough to stand up to someone who is as big a star as Kim. Everyone knows who Brooklyn Beckham is, but just in case you don't, he's the son of Posh and Becks, aka David and Victoria Beckham. So when we heard about this relationship, we were super excited! Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be as the two only shared a brief romance over the summer of 2016 before calling it quits in the fall. Oh well!

12 Amy Schumer And Ben Hanisch

This is another relationship that excites us way too much! Comedienne Amy Schumer went official with her beau Ben Hanisch in January of 2016, and the two have been together and super in love ever since. She's arguably the biggest female comedian in the world right now, and Ben has a creative job that is not part of the spotlight at all: he's a custom furniture designer. Is it weird that that makes us like him even more? We swear it isn't because he reminds us of Aidan Shaw from SATC. There's just something about total superstars dating ordinary people that is so sweet. Ben's furniture pieces are reportedly of very high quality and have really unique and innovative styles instead of stock-standard ones. He also founded his own company called The Last Workshop and is said to be kind of a hipster, totally normal and down to earth. He sounds just perfect for Amy and we totally approve of this union!

11 Liam Payne And Cheryl Fernandez-Versini

This relationship is definitely not without its fair share of rumors, but we think One Direction's Liam and former Girls Aloud member Cheryl make a super cute couple! Firstly, they're both from a boy group/girl group background, so they have a lot in common. They probably have zillions of touring stories that they laugh over all the time. Also, Cheryl acted as a judge on The X-Factor UK, which is where Liam and the other 1D boys first rose to stardom, so they have kind of a cute history, albeit a little weird. Liam would have grown up watching Cheryl on TV… and then she helped groom him… and then they eventually got together. Really, it's the stuff dreams are made of! Cheryl has since stepped out with what appears to be a baby bump, and Niall from 1D has been seen shopping for pink baby gifts, but nothing has been officially confirmed.

10 Katy Perry And Orlando Bloom

This one was somewhat unexpected, but we're on board! Singer Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom were first seen together in January at the Golden Globes after party, and from there, it's been one PDA after another. We've been bombarded with snaps of the two out on dates in LA, having a blast at Coachella, getting intimate at more fancy after parties and on one very explicit holiday in Italy where many things were, shall we say, hanging out. None of these two celebs have confirmed that they're dating, but the general public has put two and two together, and when you pair their smitten expressions with their displays of affection, it's blatant. It's recently been said that Orlando is getting ready to propose to Katy, so we'll have to stay tuned for this one! And we're not sure if they've been given a couple name, but we like Korlando. Just saying.

9 Lupita Nyong'o And Mobolaji Dawodu

Here's another couple we can't get enough of! Superstar actress Lupita Nyong'o reportedly started dating Mobolaji Dawodu, who's (no big deal) the GQ Style Fashion Editor, near the beginning of 2016. The pair only made their romance public in August, at which point the couple had already been together for about six months. According to sources, the two were introduced through mutual friends in the fashion industry and totally hit it off. He has a clear history with fashion and Lupita herself has been clothing obsessed since she was a child growing up in Kenya. So it definitely seems like a match made in heaven! While the two haven't exactly gone around parading their relationship to the world, aside from a few low-key Instagram posts, people think that Mobolaji told people they were dating before they went public. He just seemed really excited, but hey, who wouldn't be when your bae is Lupita Nyong'o?!

8 Iggy Azalea And French Montana

It sure is a good thing that Koko has found a new beau in Tristan Thompson because it seems like her ex French Montana has moved on with another bootylicious babe! Australian-born rapper Iggy Azalea and French reportedly started dating in 2016 after they were snapped together relaxing in the sun in, you guessed it, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We need to check out this place, ASAP! Since then, there's still been hints of romance, and the two were photographed getting cozy at French's birthday party, which was super fancy! He and Iggy arrived via helicopter onto a surprise yacht which was filled with stars like Sean Combs, Cassie, and Amber Rose, among others. Not half bad! The couple also posted a photo earlier that day of them posing with an elephant who had been hired for his birthday, which garnered them a lot of anger from social media users.

7 Ariana Grande And Mac Miller

This is one we actually saw coming. Ariana Grande's hit song "The Way" featured Mac Miller on it back in 2013, and the two had chemistry back then when they were young! We assume they've been friends since then, and they officially began to date in August of 2016. Even though Ariana is one of the biggest pop acts on the planet right now, she's kind of private when it comes to her romantic life. We don't really hear too much about her relationship with Mac, but from what we've seen, they do seem happy together! They have known each other for a while, so at least we know that they didn't rush into it. He also seems super supportive and wasn't shy about totally gushing over her on Instagram after her impressive win at the AMAs, and commenting on the light she brings into his life. We are so happy for them!

6 Demi Lovato And Luke Rockhold

Why do we love this so much?! It wasn't until late in 2016 that pop singer Demi Lovato and MMA fighter Luke Rockhold brought their relationship to the attention of the public, but so far, it's been well-received. The two were later seen attending the UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden and seemed cuter and happier than ever. We really admire Demi for the strong messages that she sends out through her music and the way she's been so vocal about female empowerment and loving yourself. So we just figure that any guy who is up to her standards must be a genuine person and totally respectful. Plus, we're sure it takes quite a confident man to date the "Confident" singer so they both have our respect! Also, they look really good together! It sure would be handy to have a professional fighter to walk you around and make sure nobody messes with you.

5 Meghan Trainor And Daryl Sabara

Just like Demi, Meghan is another gal who we can just tell has no time for players or anybody who isn't going to treat her right. Daryl seems like such a nice guy, and what's more, he starred in Spy Kids. Does it get any cuter? The two were the subject of multiple rumors before Meghan shushed everybody up big time by posting a photo of herself and Daryl on Instagram, and then declaring to the world that she loved him. If you're going to go public, why not go all the way? Meghan has since gushed about what an amazing boyfriend Daryl is, and stated that she brings him on tour with her. "Daryl's here tonight… He just chills with me everywhere. He's amazing and makes me feel like a princess." If a guy's going to make you feel like anything, it should definitely be a princess. Meghan has the right idea!

4 Miley Cyrus And Liam Hemsworth

Say what you will about Miley Cyrus, but we've been worshipping these two since they first started dating in 2010. Well, ever since we saw them together in The Last Song, really! We were secretly devastated when they broke up and Miley went through her latex underwear and giant fuzzy bear phase, but one of the best things about 2016 was that Miley and Liam got back together! The couple was seen in Australia in January, hanging out with Liam's family and friends. Photos surfaced of Miley wearing her engagement ring again, and the engagement officially resumed not long after. While there's been little news about any upcoming weddings since then, we're stoked with the news! They've known each other for such a long time, aren't kidding themselves since they've already broken up and acknowledged that their relationship isn't perfect, and have now decided that they're better off together. Goals!

3 Zayn Malik And Gigi Hadid

While we did like the former One Direction star with his ex, Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, there's no denying that Zayn and supermodel Gigi Hadid look fabulous together. The couple was first seen together back in 2015, the same year that Zayn left the band and his engagement with Perrie, but you could say that 2016 was really their year. It was filled with PDAs and red carpets together, as well as interviews confessing their feelings for one another and the emergence of saucy details about their relationship. Our Zigi highlight would be when Gigi hosted the AMAs and the two were filmed kissing and cuddling backstage after Zayn's big win. Or when Gigi supported him through his anxiety woes earlier in the year. These two would probably have to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing couple on this list, and since it's a list of hot stars, that's saying something!

2 Sophie Turner And Joe Jonas

Look, anytime a Game of Thrones star and a pop star want to get together, it's totally fine with us. We could hardly believe our ears when rumors began to surface of a fling between GOT actress Sophie Turner and former Jonas Brother member Joe Jonas, but you better believe this is for real! The two were spotted at a Kings of Leon concert in the Netherlands (seriously, these poor people can't go anywhere!), where they were getting very cozy back in November. Since then, the couple has been seen strolling around New York City together, going on a couple of intimate dates to restaurants and recording studios, and have also posted suggestive photos of each other on Instagram. It's been reported that before Joe wasn't keen to settle down, but since he's met Sophie, that's all changed. We get it, Joe. Who wouldn't want to be exclusive with somebody from House Stark?!

1 Prince Harry And Meghan Markle

All of the stars here are royalty in our eyes, but there's only one person on here who's a true, true royal, and so he's at the top of our list. In recent years, Prince Harry has been known as the world's most eligible bachelor, so hearts the world over were crushed when it became clear that Harry was romantically involved with Meghan Markle, and many girls had just lost the chance of becoming his princess. Meghan is an actress and the star of the drama Suits, and although that's an occupation that's somewhat different from what you'd expect of the average princess, she certainly does seem like royal material! Who knows--we might have another Princess Grace on our hands with Meghan! The two are reportedly a long way away from a Royal Wedding but are super into each other, which is totally fine. This relationship absolutely works for us!
