We aren’t sure what, exactly, has got our love radar spinning so fast. Maybe it’s the rolling influx of pollen in our nose, or the birds dancing in the sky… summer is always a catalyst for sensory overload.

And we’re seriously feeling the heat, as celebrity dating news arises once more, with all the sun-kissed titbits you’d expect! This time, there are identical shirts, mismatched ages, and a prominent lady going AWOL.

So if you’ve been dying for celeb pheromones to keep you going through June, let us tip the net out…

Announcing themselves in Style

Harry Styles is currently making good on his promise to become the most intriguing, subversive One Direction solo star. His music sounds like dad rock sieved through a VH1 best-of countdown, and he’s surprised us again, by hooking up with a girl who isn’t a giant on the entertainment scene.

Not that she’s a nobody entirely – as part of London’s clean-eating, fashionable ‘it’ crowd, Tess Ward has a ton of influence. She probably never imagined to be on the arm of pop royalty, though, until mutual pals introduced her to Styles early this year.

The two called a halt on the secrecy mid-May, when Ward was photographed with the exact same shirt that Harry was wearing a day or two earlier, as well as cooing happily next to him in a car. We hope their hair entangles and forms some sort of mega-attractive alien, which’ll get a cookbook deal overnight.

How to put Cheryl in Payne? Call out the age gap

Ahhh, Nick Grimshaw, how you sometimes do more than wear a shocking quiff… Anyone tuning into his BBC Radio 1 show a few weeks ago would’ve heard his sit-down with Liam Payne, the second ex-Directioner to grace our list. Yeah, sure, they talked about music, fame, and auditioning – but what really set our tongues twirling is his admittance that Cheryl Cole, his 10-years-senior partner, hates to discuss their respective ages.

“We don’t want to talk about that,” he said after Grimshaw tried to edge in a question about Cheryl being a judge on The X Factor when he was just 14. “She’s going to be really offended that you called me 12 by the way,” Liam added, jokingly, after a light taunt from his host.

Fit for a prince, but not his paramour

Who doesn’t dig Prince Harry? The furry fox made headlines early this year when his romance with Suits actress Meghan Markle was outed. It seems, though, that his extended family don’t count her as one of the crew quite yet.

For sister-in-law Pippa Middleton’s wedding, Harry was spotted on his own amidst the couples, flying solo through the ceremony. Reports have claimed that Pippa enforced a ‘no ring, no bring’ rule, leaving Markle in the hinterland of the extended family. Despite that, it’s not much of a setback: Harry and Meghan seem tight as can be, and we’re betting there’ll be more nuptials before the Queen can even lower her waving hand…

The celebrity dating news has been glorious this month, so stay on-board, celeb fans, for further flirty developments! Sign up for a free online dating account if you haven’t done so already – we want all of you to be superstars in your own love life.

Celebrity Dating News: Couples On Our Radar This May https://freeandsingle.com/blog/celebrity-dating-news-couples-radar-may/ https://freeandsingle.com/blog/celebrity-dating-news-couples-radar-may/#respond Tue, 02 May 2017 16:22:09 +0000 http://freeandsingle.com/blog/?p=3339 Summer's almost here but, in Celeb Land, there's always a ray of romance to shine on our day. Read on for our celebrity dating news this May...

Well, hello there, you dashing thing! We have to say, those sunglasses look great on you. As does the reflection of good vibes from the rich and famous. You’re here to catch the breeze on who’s smooching who in Celeb Town, and our celebrity dating news this month does not disappoint…

So, for pop fans, film-goers, and those hoping love isn’t dead between the stars and the rest of us, we have some treats in store. Care for a nibble? Of course you do!

More than a Weeknd romance

If we ask you to name one of the most sumptuous actresses in Hollywood, you might plump for Selina Gomez. After breaking out of the Disney mould a few years ago, she’s emerged with romantic partners to kill for. Now she’s with famed artist The Weeknd, and they seemed darn close at their first public appearance together.

We’re talking, of course, about the Met Gala in New York City. Although the Gomez/Weeknd pairing had to rub shoulders with the mother of his supermodel ex-girlfriend (gulp!), they were as pretty as a picture, and she was caught whispering “I love you” into the guy’s ear.

She didn’t Van Out herself straight away

Yes, we sympathise with you: why can’t we be launched from obscurity into the scented bosom of a celeb we admire? Before you reach for the Kleenex, however, take heart from the fact that Denise Van Outen’s partner of three years didn’t know who she was going to be, until they met.

The chiselled chap, a City trader, recalled to OK! Magazine this week: “All I’d been told was that I would be meeting a woman called Denise. When I saw that it was her, it came as a surprise – a lovely one.” There’s still hope for us yet, we say!

A watershed moment for Britney

Thank heavens that Britney Spears seems to be happier than ever in the arms of her beau (and ‘Slumber Party’ co-star), Sam Ashgari. The couple let us have a glimpse into their backyard life recently, posting a special bit of footage on Instagram.

In it, Spears stands on the shoulders of her love giant, balancing fairly well in their swimming pool before she falls nimbly to the water. Could this be further proof that our fave diva has found the right bloke at last? Time will tell, but we’re getting strong vibes.

Trying to hide the X-Factor…

Ah, Olly Murs, the perennial guy-you’d-take-home-to-your-grandma. He’s been doing alright for himself, leaving the talent show scrapheap far behind. Only now, he’s got a harder act to juggle: that of keeping his new flame a secret.

In a second (!!) example of regular folk getting on with the stars, we’re delighted to hear that he’s linked to a girl, Nadine Hermez, who isn’t an actress or backing dancer. Rather, she’s a wannabe singer; the two were spotted at a London cocktail club, their hands roaming over each other. At this present moment, Hermez is a normal, albeit gorgeous person, but let’s see how long that lasts eh…

Beep beep boop – that’s the sound of our dating radar, which never ceases to pick up the goods. Sign up to FreeAndSingle before our next batch of celebrity dating news is delivered, and make your own relationship headline worthy!

Here we are again, fellow daters – the rundown of the hot, the not, and the oh-so shocked couples in celeb land. Although we’ve been out enjoying the slanting, careful rays of sun where we can, there’ve been a few chances to scuttle back to our screens, re-gluing ourselves to celebrity dating news.

We actually have a totally, 100% ‘pro’ list of mile-high relationships this month; the universe must be titling towards harmony, considering how scant the break-ups were in February and March. So, with much joy in our veins, here are the couples setting April 2017 aflame…

Cooking up some nostalgia

Wow… when someone tells us they’ve been married for the best part of two decades, we have to take our hats off to them, even if they’d prefer it was a chef’s headpiece. Why the culinary language? Well, we’re talking about no other than Jamie Oliver.

He’s been married to his childhood sweetie for 17 years. The beau in question, Jools Oliver, recently shared a photo on Instagram. It depicted a pile of letters, topped with a bow, in a blocky teenage scrawl. Turns out that Jamie used to send her a note every day when they first met, as she had to do a three-month stint in Tokyo, and he was pining for her like mad.

It’s the most adorable thing we’ve seen so far this year. Daters: get rid of your WhatsApp, and return to the scented envelope, the sensual ink of true commitment!

Pamela almost Wikileaked the truth…

Think back to the hardest dating scenarios you’ve had to endure… A long-distance arrangement, perhaps? Or sneaking around under the nose of a strict, bullish father, the kind who’d freak at a stolen kiss?

So factor that memory by approximately 1,000,000 if you want to feel like Pamela Anderson. The rumour mill is buzzing with suggestions that she and Julian Assange, the maverick/potentially criminal Wikileaks founder, are hooking up amidst his confinement at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

That’s right – she’s been snapped delivering his lunch, and gushed about him to a Swedish talk-show. “It is a romantic struggle”, she was recorded as saying. “I love him for this.” Obviously, she’s referring to Assange’s incarceration, but there seems to be a charged undercurrent below her visits. Could be a weird one, folks, if anything comes of it…

No horror show for Aronofsky & Lawrence

There isn’t a single living person who wouldn’t ascribe to the notion of Jennifer Lawrence’s hotness, both as a down-to-earth character and a pinup. After months of ‘maybe, maybe not’, she and auteur director Darren Aronofsky have gone public with their relationship. The man behind Black Swan has also cast her as the lead in a new horror movie, dubbed Mother!

The age gap doesn’t matter. Neither does their low-key exposure; the limelight burns strongly enough for both of them anyway. What remains cool as 50 cucumbers is their respective talent: she is one of the brightest, most flexible stars in Hollywood, and his films defy public decency. That’ll make for an awesome, revved-up piece of entertainment once the movie arrives. Plus, they must be getting on like an arthouse on fire.

Alas, that’s all for now, but before we go, sign up to a FreeAndSingle account if you haven’t already done so. Celebrity dating news is inspiring, but you’re the only person who can bring the stars down to earth in your love life…

Boy, do we have a few delights up our sleeve, as the stars can't help but surprise us...

Lovebirds, are you still out there? It’s been a while since we donned our forensic gloves and got to the business of who’s seeing who in celeb land. Never fear, though – absence makes the heart grow fonder, as they say! We’re bursting to give you the lowdown on official and rumoured couplings between the rich and famous.

Buckle in for a steely return to singledom, and a handful of flourishing romances. Now that winter has cleared off, we’re hoping for more celebrity dating news as the spring air tempts out their romantic side…

Rooney is loony for Phoenix

Think of greatest actors of their generation, and Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix probably come to mind. The two screen dynamos have worked a couple of times together – once on the 2013 movie Her, and now on an upcoming Biblical story, in which she is Mary Magdalene to his Jesus Christ.

This time, as it happens, they’ve found more than religion in the desert. The pair are almost certainly an item, having skipped the Golden Globe awards for a loved up getaway. In February, they were spotted on the streets of Los Angeles, wearing wide grins and dressing casually, like they just got up…

Zayn train shows no signs of stopping

Spare a little pity for Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid: the world is following their every move, so it must be tough to embark on a promotional campaign for fashion brand Versus, getting paid a ton of money, wandering around an empty apartment for kicks.

What’s that? You don’t feel sorry for them at all? Fair enough – but they are gorgeous to look at. Gigi will be photographing a Zayn-led series, along with model Adwoa Abdoah, for a 2017 marketing push. If only all of us could have this level of fun with our better halves!

She can get him out her head

No-one can genuinely detest Kylie Minogue. She’s just so darn lovely, whatever she’s doing. We were glad she found a dude worthy of her bombshell Aussie grace when she became engaged to an actor, Joshua Sasse, after two years as an item.

It seems, however, that they hit a major snag in February. Kylie suspected there was something brewing between Sasse and a Spaniard he met on the set of his TV show. She took to Instagram soon after removing the ring and making her mind up, posting a sunset with a ‘thank you’ message for her concerned fans. Now, her former beau has been given marching order from her London home.

It isn’t concerning her, apparently: she told the Sydney Morning Herald, in an exclusive interview, that she feels great in every respect. Time to start queueing up again, fellas…

When we get our celebrity dating binoculars on, there’s very little that FreeAndSingle doesn’t see. The landscape of our biggest personalities is vast, glitzy, and strewn with conjecture, but that’s why you come back to us – for the best dating news around!

Sign up to our free dating site, if you haven’t already, for a superstar love life to rival the headlines.

Celebrity Dating: Couples To Keep An Eye On In November https://freeandsingle.com/blog/celebrity-dating-news-november/ https://freeandsingle.com/blog/celebrity-dating-news-november/#respond Tue, 01 Nov 2016 12:00:08 +0000 http://freeandsingle.com/blog/?p=3194 From Prince Harry to Adele, we have lots of juicy celebrity dating news to share with you this November. Dive headfirst into our celebrity gossip...

Halloween’s slunk away like mist on the moor, taking some potentially interesting hook-up opportunities with it. You never really know what your ideal match is until you’re talking to someone at a party with an axe through their head, and realise how beautiful they are…

But do you know what else is a thing of beauty? That’s right: the celebrity dating news scene, thumping like an open heart with new drama and intrigue. October brought us a shock that left us cold. As winter begins to settle in, let’s warm your cockles with headlines from the rich, famous, and frivolous amongst us:

Silver is the new black

The creative process can morph mutual respect between two people into something much, much more. We’ve been able to prove this once again, following the announcement that Orange Is The New Black star Samira Wiley is dating the show’s writer/producer Lauren Morelli, after the latter split from her husband in 2014.

Working on one of TV’s hottest properties made Morelli realise that women are a source of attraction in her life. Now, that discovery has reached peak levels of cute, as the couple are officially engaged. They announced it on social media, with Samira laughing joyously over her diamond ring, and the caption ‘Yes’ below.

Hazz-e made it?

Women across the UK sobbed into their Union Jack hankies when Prince William came off the dating market. “Surely though”, they reasoned, “Harry will be a free agent for a while? He’s just so roguish!” Aside from a dream punt for Pippa Middleton, we couldn’t put our finger on anything that would take Harry out of love’s doghouse like his elder brother.

Hence, we’re delighted and gobsmacked to report that he’s linked to Suits actress Meghan Markle, three years his senior. They’re keeping it on the ‘down low’ for now, which is understandable – millions of girls could be sharpening their pitchforks.

Rumour has it they’re for life

Princess and pauper tales always get us misty-eyed, and Adele’s love story with fiancé Simon Konecki is no different. On their 5th anniversary, Adele was playing a gig. The sweetie that he is, charity owner Simon replaced her stage confetti with love notes, caught by the adoring crowd. They already have a son together, but a different sort of confetti could be on the cards, since they’re to be engaged… Watch this space for wedding bells!

Bad boy Brown’s at it again

No-one can dissuade Chris Brown from being a pillock, even if every single member of Rihanna’s fan army is calling for his misfortune. They needn’t worry, because he’s capable of inflicting it on himself; the troubled R & B singer launched a tasteless, misogynistic tirade against his current beau on Instagram last month.

It included such nuggets as “We cheat on our girlfriends, but we don’t want them to cheat on us”, and claimed he’s the hottest guy on Planet Earth. Yeah right, Chrissy. And we’re just dying to hear your next album…

And with that, we fade into the distance for another month, waving happily to the celebrity faces we look forward to seeing again. This has been quite a stress-free period for the latest news, so long may it continue! Let’s hope nothing lets the air out of these high-profile love balloons, eh? Who knows – they might swell even larger.

Hearts broke worldwide when the news surfaced that Brangelina was no more. Unanimously seen as the power couple of Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reigned supreme as a model of the perfect relationship for 12 impressive years. But alas, all good things come to an end… and on the plus side, it means that there’s a new singleton in tinseltown.

But that begs the question: who could possibly step up to the plate of dating the Most Beautiful Woman In The World (fact!)? Our celebrity dating experts do some digging to present our favourite potential suitors for the lovely Angelina.

Match #1 – Bradley Cooper

Who better to take the lead than the actor voted Sexiest Man Alive? Bradley Cooper is perhaps one of the few Hollywood stars that could aspire to equal footing with Angelina on both looks and accomplishments.

A known humanitarian who, like Angelina, hit the respectable age of 40 last year, it seems he ticks all the right boxes for this starry-eyed mother of six. Just imagine the awards cabinet….

However, there is a catch: Bradley Cooper is currently looking very settled with Russian supermodel Irina Shayk. She is, though, 10 years his junior (not that we’re judging!) and their relationship hasn’t been plain sailing. So let’s not rule it out… we know how fast the celebrity dating scene can move!

Successful match probability: 62%

Match #2 – Cara Delevingne

Second on our list is the bold, beautiful Cara Delevinge. A woman, you ask? Well, die-hard Jolie fans will know that before Brad Pitt strolled along, Angelina was very open about her bisexuality. She dated model Jenny Shimizi in the 90s, a relationship that reportedly went on for years.

Cara and Angelina are no strangers; in fact, rumours swirled earlier this year that Brad got in trouble for flirting with the model. However, perhaps the media got the wrong end of the stick… having recently split from girlfriend St. Vincent, we can certainly see Cara helping Angelina rediscover her feminine side.

In fact, Cara has piped up publicly about the Brangelina divorce proceedings, saying: “My admiration for Angelina Jolie is endless, I also admire anyone who transforms their pain into power.” Take the hint, Ange!

Successful match probability: 80%

Match #3 – Johnny Depp

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star may be a little unpopular at the moment, as messy divorce proceedings continue with Amber Heard following the much-talked-about domestic abuse case.

Considering that similar rumours are circling the Brangelina split, you’d think Johnny Depp would be the last person on Angelina’s radar. However, it’s well known that the pair got on well during their time filming The Tourist back in 2010, so would it be too far a stretch to imagine these Hollywood demagogues coming together?

Already there are stories that the two have been spending time together since Brad left the camp. Supposedly, she has even hired the lawyer recommended by Depp as the divorce gets underway. So watch this space – history can repeat itself, right?

Successful match probability – 71%

Wildcard – Edward Snowden

We can hear what you’re thinking…. What on earth would someone like Angelina Jolie be doing with a whistleblower who spends his days behind a computer screen instead of strutting the red carpet? Well, hear us out, because she has more in common with Edward Snowden than you might think.

While Angelina Jolie’s fame has been largely based on playing the female protagonist in some of our best-loved spy movies, Edward has made a name for himself by being the real-life detective behind some of the most shocking revelations in US history.

His role may be seen as controversial by some, but there’s no denying the humanitarian edge to his efforts, having been voted as The Guardian’s person of the year in 2013 and granted the German ‘Whistleblower Prize’ in the same year.

He might not be the most glamorous candidate for the role of Mr Jolie, but Angelina clearly has a soft spot for the fast-paced, undercover world. Perhaps Edward’s credentials could draw her in after all?

Successful match probability – 57%

Angelina might be a little tied up in divorce proceedings right now, but as admirers queue to woo this Hollywood sweetheart, we wanted to place our bets on the most likely suitors nice and early.

Celebrity Dating: Couples To Keep An Eye On In October https://freeandsingle.com/blog/celebrity-dating-couples-keep-eye-october-3/ https://freeandsingle.com/blog/celebrity-dating-couples-keep-eye-october-3/#respond Mon, 03 Oct 2016 13:40:38 +0000 http://freeandsingle.com/blog/?p=3126 As latest news of stars continues to spin heads, we bring you the celebrity dating developments this October, condensed with a lover's careful eye...

The post Celebrity Dating: Couples To Keep An Eye On In October appeared first on The FreeAndSingle Blog.

There’s been a pretty big shakeup in Hollywood recently, but the dating landscape never sits still, and celebrity dating continues to stun and confound us. Our September updates were relatively tame compared to the swerves our best and brightest stars are taking this month; these morsels are juicier than ever, packed with all the gossip we can fit into one page.

The latest news is here for your starry-eyed satisfaction – feast upon the rumblings heading our way in October, and decide for yourself how crazy a relationship can get in the limelight…

Stuck in the Pitts

Like a sighting of Haley’s comet, it’s impossible to ignore a breakup that comes along once in a generation, laying waste to our idea of the perfect marriage. In case you’ve been hiding under a rock with your Mr & Mrs Smith DVD cradled in arm, the shock of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce has thrown us back into our chairs, numbingly mouthing words of sadness and disbelief.

They were Hollywood’s Golden Couple for more than a decade. Now, child abuse allegations are trickling out, whilst Jolie holes up their six children in a rented mansion away from their father. We light a candle every day for the split of the century so far.

A Swift resolution

Ahhhh, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor… we’re suffering whiplash from her dating travails, although none of her relationships could reasonably be called a car crash. Now that Tom Hiddleston is swaggering his merry way back to singledom – having apparently gotten bored of her in 3 months – the music star’s been texting ex Calvin Harris, quick as ever to make people adore her again. Be careful, Calvin – she’s too lovely to pass up, and she might chew you up again.

Baby, they’re a firework

Straying into fairy-tale territory this month, we’d like to welcome Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry into our hallowed hall of favourite couples. The two have been jetting everywhere together since May, when they announced their partnership on social media. Those elusive ‘sources’ close to them claim that an engagement is on the cards.

We know that Katy Perry is probably hesitant to jump back into the marital bed, seeing as her rapid-fire betrothal to Russell Brand became a wet squib. Yet we encourage, with every ounce of our being, that Orlando juts his chin out and plucks up the courage to ask her. It just seems… right.

The second act of love

Since Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth made nice a few months back, we’ve been wondering what kooky pastimes they’ll surprise us with. This is Miley, after all – the lizard-tongued, Beatles-butchering, crotch-grabbing pixie of 21st century pop music.

Typically, their actual collaboration is striving to be artistic and, who knows, it very well could be. They’re alleged to be writing a play together, based in part on their 4-year experience of falling in and out of love…

That’s October done and dusted for now then, although there’ll doubtless be another shock to blindside us tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that. Every instalment of celebrity dating news tends to ruin our predictions for how a famous hook-up is turning out; that’s the spice of life, we suppose.

The Reel Deal: What Movies Can Teach Us About Romance https://freeandsingle.com/blog/3090-2/ https://freeandsingle.com/blog/3090-2/#respond Thu, 08 Sep 2016 10:43:41 +0000 http://freeandsingle.com/blog/?p=3090 Lights, camera, and plenty of action...ever wondered what movies can teach us about romance? We have, and here's what we found.

The post The Reel Deal: What Movies Can Teach Us About Romance appeared first on The FreeAndSingle Blog.

]]>
Darkness, cuddles and the crunch of shared popcorn has been seared in our dating psyche. It’s the fall-back plan for love-struck teenagers and adults alike, providing a level of intimacy that can only be found in the hush of a pitch-black cinema crowd, or the swaddle of a sofa blanket. But do you actually pay attention to what movies can teach us about romance? Whenever you come up for air, give it a go – there’s a lot the good ones have to offer.

In this spirit, here are our most cherished romantic films, analysed for whatever lessons they have regarding laws of attraction:

Annie Hall (1977)

Have you ever had a Woody Allen moment? A stuttering, stumbling verbal parade through your anxieties, practically daring the person you care about to leave the room? We’re guessing yes, but this enduringly smart American director reminds us that there’s someone out there who’ll be able to cope with it.

Take the famous lobster scene, held in such regard because it’s perfectly natural: just two people messing around in the kitchen, unafraid to be idiots together. Woody might not get the girl in the end, but the end happens a couple of times; we can’t help but be drawn back to the partners who complete us.

Groundhog Day (1993)

Relationships can feel like the same struggle over and over again – how to charm, how to relate to another life, what you should say and do and feel. For Bill Murray in this comedy gem from the 90’s, he’s literally stuck in the same 24-hour loop, trying to woo Andie MacDowell for (potentially) thousands of years.

After numerous suicides, snowball fights and piano lessons, he manages to be effortlessly good to everyone he meets, which obviously gets her falling for him. The sentiment is obvious: spread joy to the world, and you’ll genuinely seem like romantic gold dust.

Vertigo (1958)

Déjà vu is a strange experience, especially with lovers who remind you so much of the past. Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece is a warning of having a ‘type’, and prescribing to it forever – in this case, the ice cool blonde, who may or may not have faked her own death.

Clearly, that’s a niche attraction you won’t find on a typical dating profile. But this timeless, dream-like detective story ruthlessly looks at our need to lump old impressions on new beaus. Much better to take each girl or guy as they come, eh?

Amour (2012)

Love is whatever we want it to be, but a workable definition might suffice as “commitment, no matter what.” That’s where Michael Haneke’s heart-breaking drama takes its stand on the pantheon of Things That Make Us Think. I mean, honestly, it’s really scary to grow old, and more so when your soul mate might wake up one day and not recognise who you are.

Yet, dry those tears on your sleeve, because the French couple in this movie are a testament to true devotion. You can help but fight furiously against the realities of life, and that’s what makes a relationship what it is – two people holding back the forces of chaos, arm in arm.

So, you should never roll a single eye again at the idea of ‘soppy’ movies; they aren’t all sugar-coated, and the best ones have a wisdom that never ages. Being open to the lessons of a romantic story can inspire a ton of awareness about your own dating history, and what might be around the corner.

“True love waits in haunted attics”, sang Radiohead’s Thom Yorke on his latest LP, and that sentiment covers a lot of ground on our column this month, where the past is biting our celebs when they least expect it. The latest news is more turbulent than last month, but that’s only making current celebrity dating matches more appealing, if you ask us.

From potential beaus who can’t help but fall back on the rumour mill, to single ladies with some humbling stories, there’s a lot to pick through. Let’s get started shall we?

She better Beliebe it

As Justin Bieber shows off his new squeeze – Lionel Richie’s 18-year old daughter, Sophia – one person definitely isn’t looking on with doe-eyed appreciation. Ex Selena Gomez, former teen idol and Disney star, hit out at The Bieb when he posted a couple-y image of the pair on Instagram.

Gomez accused him of being too public with his feelings, whereas he claimed that she used their on-off dating history for a career boost. Whatever’s going on with Selena is apparently causing concern for her family, since she’s been touring nonstop for 2 months. We reckon she’ll bounce back; hopefully, this time, without broken heart strings on social media.

The one we’ve been waiting for…

Is it the rapture? Has a miracle finally swooped down to us lesser mortals, and delivered a promise we’ve been digesting for years? Perhaps – Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Drake and Rihanna are finally, finally emerging as an official item.

Drake met Ri-Ri on the shoot of her first video, ‘Pon de Replay’, back in 2005. R&B was still untouched by the EDM influence she brought to the table, which is as unthinkable now as their ability to spend more than a few weeks apart. They’ve guested on each other’s tracks, flown around the world together, and shared hotel suites. Drake even used the word “love” in his recent VMA Award tribute to the singer. Fingers, toes and everything in between crossed that this is happening!

Making a Pratt of herself on camera

The new E4 show, Celebs Go Dating, has us all excited for the rollcall of semi-famous faces searching for romance. It’s doubly interesting that they’ll be meeting regular people – you know, the ones with blood in their veins? But for Made In Chelsea socialite Stephanie Pratt, there’s been hard luck to get this far, dating in front of the nation.

Speaking to The Mirror, she explained what happened when she met a guy in a Los Angeles eatery a few years back: “We were in a Mexican restaurant, he kept asking for more chips. He was on, like, a college diet. We went to the bar and I put down a $100 bill and ordered us drinks.” When she came back from the bathroom, there was no change; the guy pocketed the cash and left! Here’s hoping she finds Mr Right on our screens, as a due bit of karma.

That about does it for September, but don’t forget to check back next month for more perfect cheekbones, upturned noses, and more celebrity dating goodness that you can shake a stick at. In the meantime, sign up for a FreeAndSingle account if your dating life’s in the doldrums – we can make your wildest relationship dreams a reality…

Celebrity Dating: Couples To Keep An Eye On In August https://freeandsingle.com/blog/3022-2/ https://freeandsingle.com/blog/3022-2/#respond Mon, 01 Aug 2016 17:09:10 +0000 http://freeandsingle.com/blog/?p=3022 Keeping in tune with our love of all things famous, FreeAndSingle brings you the hottest dating gossip this side of the celebrity fence

Is it a love bird? Is it a Zayn? Well, it could be both of those things, but we’ll go right ahead and say that this month’s issue of celebrity dating news doesn’t feature any ex-boyband totty.

That’s because there’s so much more happening in celeb land, forcing our attention elsewhere. It’s been a month of reconciliation, rendezvous, and really big rings. Let’s get right down to it…

A swerve in the right direction

Lewis Hamilton is undoubtedly a megastar by now: his Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff described him as “unbeatable” when he’s at his best, and that finally might be expressed outside of the race track, as rumours swirl around a potential relationship with Rita Ora.

She’s one of the most beautiful women in the UK, so if this is true, God bless a match that’ll hopefully never roar to a finish line. Hamilton was spotted leaving her home, clad in the previous night’s clothes, and the pair have been snapped eating together too. Let’s hope he doesn’t burn through her as fast as his F1 competition!

Carla in the afternoon

 Ahhh, Annie Clarke, a.k.a. St. Vincent, a.k.a. the awesome songstress/guitar player who writes lyrics about rattlesnakes and taking out the garbage naked. She’s always been deserving of someone as intriguing as herself, which is why her past year and a half with 23-year-old model Carla Delevingne has been so amazing and appropriate.

Although they’ve been quite hush-hush about it, Carla recently spilled some choice beans to The Daily Mail about what it’s like being one half of a style supernova. She’s apparently “more in love than ever” with Vincent, which has surfaced around the same time as a photo of Delevingne sporting a MASSIVE engagement ring. One to watch, these two…

Cowell acting cupid

For followers of our dating parish, the news hit hard that Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s marriage was on the ropes. Bats circled the FreeAndSingle belfry in agitation as we held our breaths collectively: the best coupling since Marmite and butter couldn’t possibly split for good, could they?

Well, no, actually. Whilst filming the newest iteration of The X Factor, Sharon has reportedly been chatting to her hubby over the phone, an ocean away. They’ve since said recent developments were more of a bump in the road than a major catastrophe. And who has offered to take them out on a double date? Simon Cowell, the man in love with his own neckline. Maybe that’s the most terrifying thing about all of this.

Getting the mum vote

Meeting the parents is nerve wracking no matter how big of a name you are. A father’s withering glance can reduce the most hardened paparazzi dodgers to bits; luckily for our favourite likely lad, Brooklyn Beckham, he’s showing us how it’s done.

Chloe Grace Moretz’s mum, Teri, took Brooklyn and her daughter to the Democratic Convention in Pennsylvania, on the sidelines as Hilary Clinton promised great change. “So happy to share our American political system with my favourite Brit!” Teri tweeted. N’awww.

So that’s another wrap up of the hottest goings on this August. The stars are aligning – literally – for romance’s hold on our imagination. Launch yourself into free online dating to make yourself part of the trend for fantastic couples right now. There’s a whole world out there, after all…
