Celebrity friendships are normal, seeing how often they meet new people. These stars attend multiple events regularly, so they frequently meet new people within and outside the industry. However, some friendships baffle us because they are quite unusual pair-ups. These unlikely friends surprise us because their worlds can seem too different for them to have connected. Let us look at some of the most disparate friendships between celebrity BFFs.
Bella Hadid and Offset
The first unlikely friends duo is Bella Hadid and Offset. These two are different in every regard, so it is a surprise that they are friends. Hadid is a model, while Offset is a rapper. However, Offset revealed in 2022 that they connected based on their love for fashion. Hadid was featured in his music video for CODE, and the unlikely friends watched Serena Williams’ US Open game together in 2022.
Meryl Streep and 50 Cent
Meryl Streep and 50 Cent are unlikely friends we couldn’t have imagined. The pair met at a basketball game in 2014 and connected very quickly. 50 Cent later revealed that Streep seemed lost about what was happening, so he offered to explain it to her. These unlikely friends have been buddies since then.
Betty White and Jennifer Love Hewitt
Betty White and Jennifer Love Hewitt’s friendship was iconic. Their unlikely friendship began when they starred in The Lost Valentine in 2011. Despite their 57-year age difference, White and Hewitt became fast friends. They ate gummy bears together regularly and also got drunk during a girls’ night out. Moreover, after their movie shoot ended, Hewitt gave White a Tiffany necklace, which she wore every day until she died.
Cardi B and Penn Badgley
Cardi B and Penn Badgley became unlikely friends after Badgley mentioned the musician in an interview. The actor referred to Cardi B’s genuine connection with her fans, which thrilled Cardi B. Badgley responded to her delighted tweet and exchanged flirty messages. The unlikely friends also changed their avatars to each other’s pictures and have been harmlessly flirting ever since.
Jennifer Aniston and Selena Gomez
These unlikely friends met through their management company as they shared a manager. They also share a love for pizza and like to make it together. The Friends actress and the singer cum actress met at a Vanity Fair party years ago. Aniston invited Gomez over to her house, and they have been fast friends since. Gomez disclosed that Aniston gives her “maternal advice,” while the Friends star regards Gomez as a “cherub.”
Kris Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence
Despite their age difference, Kris Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence have also formed a close friendship. These unlikely friends became close after Lawrence expressed her love for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. In response, Jenner sent the actress a cake and a sweet message for her birthday. The pair became fast friends, and Lawrence even invited Jenner to her wedding rehearsal dinner.
Rihanna and Cara Delevingne
Rihanna and Cara Delevingne are friendship goals. They have been friends for years, vacationed together, and walked on red carpets together. On Rihanna’s 30th birthday, Delevingne made a montage with pictures of herself and Rihanna. She posted the montage to her Instagram page, wishing the singer a happy birthday. In 2023, Rihanna said she and the model were super close and that Delevingne was “very special.”
Adele and Drake
Adele and Drake may not have collaborated on songs, but they are close friends. These unlikely friends regard each other as great influences on themselves. In 2021, Drake called Adele “one of his best friends in the world.” Adele has also shared that Drake influenced her to release her album, 30, and he is a big gift to her.
David Beckham and Snoop Dog
In addition to Martha Stewart, David Beckham is one of Snoop Dog’s many unlikely friends. They became friends in 2008 after the Beckhams moved to California from London. David appeared on Snoop’s reality TV show, and they have been close ever since. Snoop told the UK Mirror in 2011, “Whenever I make a record, I give him a copy before it’s done. He’s like a brother. I’m gonna show him to rap for shizzle. He’s my boy. I love soccer just as he loves hip-hop.”
Eva Longoria and Victoria Beckham
David Beckham’s wife is unlikely friends with Eva Longoria. The duo have been friends for a long time. The former Spice Girl member and the actress met after the Beckhams moved to America. These unlikely friends have remained close, and Victoria even designed Longoria’s wedding gown in 2016. Longoria is also godmother to two of Victoria’s children, Harper and Cruz.
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have been friends for a long time. These unlikely friends constantly affirm their love for each other on social media. They also throw bants at each other, so fans once thought Lively shaded Swift in 2015. Swift is also a godmother to Lively’s kids. Moreover, the actress’ oldest daughter, James, was featured in Swift’s song, Gorgeous.
50 Cent and Bette Midler
50 Cent and Bette Midler met while working on a New York Restoration Project. In 2008, Midler contacted the hip-hop artist for fundraising advice for her project. These unlikely friends quickly grew close and have worked together on community projects. Midler revealed that she nagged him to work with her, and he has been supportive through the years.
Courteney Cox and Ed Sheeran
Courteney Cox and Ed Sheeran are another pair of unlikely friends that have remained close for years. They met in 2013 on The Late Late Show With James Corden and have been buddies ever since. Sheeran and Cox are so close that the singer crashes at her place whenever he is in LA. The Perfect singer once stayed at Cox’s home for three months to concentrate on his music. Meanwhile, Sheeran introduced the Friends actress to her long-time partner, Johnny McDaid.
Conclusion
