From short flings to walking down the isle, there have been many celebs who were drawn together when all the signs were saying no.

Nobody saw a pairing with Elvis' ex-wife and a former children’s TV presenter whose most famous partner was a stuffed toy – Otis the Aardvark.
The Northampton-born broadcaster admitted they went on three dates having met when she starred in a panto in Wimbledon.
“It was almost an out-of-body experience, listening to Elvis’ ex-wife talking about Elvis.
“There were moments like this when I suddenly felt quite freaked out. It was so surreal. But P’s also chatty and easy to chat to – she was genuinely interested in me, and asking about about my TV stuff. It’s not all about her," he confessed to The Mirror.
While he insisted they never dated, one night sticks in Toby’s mind. “We were out till about 3.30am and she had a show at lunchtime the next day so she was getting worried.
“That didn’t stop us doing tequila shots at gone midnight. It was brilliant.
“She did mention me going out to see her in the States and offered to show us around Graceland personally – that would be ridiculous.”

However, according to reports that's exactly what has happened, with the Ghostbusters star and singer said to be enjoying a whirlwind romance.
The 30 year age gap doesn't seem to be bothering the pair as sources claim the duo have been spending time together at a hotel and have been "getting close for a while".
It's said they initially bonded following the death of Kelis' second husband in March last year. Bill's estranged wife died in 2021.

She calls him one of her favourite exes (Rex)Cher has been full of praise for the Top Gun star after their short lived fling and still claims him as one of her favourite exes despite the unlikely match.
They first met back in 1985 when he was 23 and she was 38 with the Strong Enough hitmaker already married and divorced twice by the time she met Tom at Madonna and Sean Penn's wedding in Malibu.
Cher later gushed about their 'deep connection' and hailed Tom as one of her "greatest lovers ever".
Reminiscing about their wild romance back in 2018, Cher said: "A bunch of people who were dyslexic were invited to the White House, and Tom and I are both dyslexic.
"We didn’t go out till way later, but there definitely was a connection there," she told Event magazine.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, she revealed: "I had just the greatest lovers ever. Not a long list. It's just a good list."
When the TV host grilled Cher about her relationship with Tom, she admitted: "He wasn't a Scientologist then. It was pretty hot and heavy for a little minute. He's a great guy. The person that I knew was a great and lovable guy."
She added: "He was in the top five."

J-Law and Chris found each other in 2013 as the Yellow hitmaker split from Gwyneth Paltrow following 10 years of marriage and Jennifer and actor Nicholas Hoult separated after dating on and off for four years.
The actress, 24 at the time, was said to have been “swept off her feet” by Chirs.
However their relationship - which is said to have been on and off for around a year - fizzled out because it was so difficult for them to find time for each other.
Russell Brand and Katy Perry
Katy and Russell had a whirlwind romance (PA)The unlikely pairing started a chain of whirlwind of events as they had their first date in September 2009 and were engaged just three months later on New Year's Eve.
That October, the duo married in a lavish Indian ceremony, where they got matching 'Anuugacchati Pravaha' tattoos, translated as 'go with the flow'.
But rumours of trouble in paradise soon began to swirl, with the pair reportedly butting heads over their opposing lifestyles.
Recovered drug addict Russell, then 36, was allegedly envious of Katy's superstar status, with the singer accusing him of struggling to cope with her being in charge.
Katy, then 25, documented their rows when she set off on her mammoth 122-date California Dreams tour, which was shown in her Part Of Me documentary.
A source told The Mirror at the time they quickly realised they had 'nothing in common'.
They apparently tried therapy and marriage counselling and comedian David Badiel - who attended their wedding - said the warning signs had been there before they even got hitched.
Things finally came to a head when Katy gave Russell her wedding ring back after a huge row before Christmas.
Katy had apparently only meant to call his bluff, but instead Russell blindsided her by filing for divorce and informing her by text on New Year's Eve.
Katy famously signed off her divorce papers with a heart and a smiley face.
