The Most Annoying Celebrity Couples

Ever have that indescribable disgust for a celebrity for reasons you can't explain or justify? You're not alone. But what happens when two of those famous freaks shack up and decide to slap on the relationship label? For whatever reason, there's always that one celebrity couple that manages to tick people off. There's something irksome about them that you can't put your finger on. Maybe they flaunt the smugness of Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, or maybe they can't keep their hands off each other, like Taylor Swift and just about any boyfriend she's had since she turned sixteen, or maybe they just feel super forced like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.  For whatever reason, they bug the sh*t out of you. 

As much as celebrity couples act as if they just want to live their lives in peace and quiet, away from all the scrutiny and public obsession, their actions don't always reflect those sentiments. It's almost as if these obnoxious celebrity couples are making a huge effort to do the exact opposite. To constantly shove themselves onto your newsfeed. And as much as you'd like to turn off your television and unplug your computer, that's not always an option. These celebrity couples will always find a way to leak back onto your screen with whatever drama or declaration of love their publicist comes up with next. 

Over the years, there have been plenty both new and old celebrity couples who have come to define the term "overexposure." For all the incredibly transparent and insincere ways these celebrity couples convince people to fawn over them, you likely hate them for the exact same reasons. Pinpointing the exact reasons a famous couple is annoying maybe tricky. Especially when there are so many of them. But these celebrity couples take it to the next level. Whether it's packing on the PDA or turning their nose up like a snob, these twosomes are some of the most annoying celebrity couples in Hollywood history.

If you're tired of everyone calling Beyoncé and Jay Z a power couple, you aren't alone. More infuriatingly, Beyoncé's latest album Lemonade heavily insinuated that the two were having marital strife. What followed was a Twitter sh*t storm in which Bey's Beyhive cyberbullied a woman speculated to have caused the drift between them and another innocent woman whose name was similar to that lady's.

Instead of calling off the dogs, Beyoncé and Jay Z sat in their multimillion dollar mansion, which definitely isn't funded by Tidal, and allowed the world to rage over a non-existent story about "Becky with the good hair." Because truth be told, Lemonade's overtones of marriage struggles were all fabricated in an attempt to tell a "story" by Beyoncé (except I think that requires you to actually write the "story").

Anyway, Jay and Bey sat silent while they let fans believe their marriage was crumbling at the hands of some random fashion designer and a lady who likes to make meals in 30 minutes or less. Real classy coming from a couple who sells "Feminism" T-shirts sewn by ladies in Sri Lanka for less than ten dollars a day. To say this couple is overrated would be an understatement, but at least the "power" part is true.

It's almost unfair to bring up this one considering the sh*t storm Katie Holmes had to endure for six years (and even to this day, thanks to Suri). The public knew things were off the moment Tom Cruise got up on Oprah's couch to declare his undying love for Holmes. For instance, 1. There's no jumping on Oprah's furniture, and 2. When your insane antics ostracize even Oprah (the woman who has just about seen it all), you know something can't be right about this situation.

Ever since Holmes was recruited by Cruise's top-notch team of Scientologist matchmakers, the two's relationship has been a never-ending cry for help. Luckily for Holmes, she snatched up Suri and got the hell out of that Celebrity Center, never to utter the words "Xenu" ever again.

What creeped people out most about this unnatural relationship were Holmes's silence and Cruise's overzealous platitudes. When there's no other word to describe your relationship other than "creepy," that's a pretty clear indicator things need to come to an end. There was no way this Hollywood charade was going to last, and Katie Holmes is lucky to have made it out relatively unscathed.

Has there ever been a couple who has had to try as hard as Speidi to convince people that they aren't actually evil? No, and it's probably because they actually are just bad people. Hands down one of the most hated couples in reality television history, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag put on a show that could only be upstaged by the Kardashians a few years later.

The problem with Speidi is that they clearly never expected The Hills to end. Thinking a reality show in which they unwillingly tormented a girl who wanted nothing to do with them would last longer than five years was their eventual pitfall. Nothing in Hollywood is forever, and Speidi proved that. Years later, the couple has been shunned from the spotlight, having to resort to D-level celebrity programming, such as I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!

The strangest part about Pratt and Montag's villainous relationship is the sincerity of their fondness for one another. The two have remained married despite being both completely broke due to frivolous spending and a failure to regain the momentum of their tabloid-friendly deplorableness.

Chris Brown and Rihanna were very much loathed from a one-sided perspective. While many rooted for Rihanna, those same people called for the downfall of Chris Brown. After headlines broke about the two's traumatic domestic abuse charges, in which Brown beat Rihanna, fans were shocked. Although Brown quickly felt the blow-back of the consequences, his career has not seemed to suffer in the way many felt it should have.

Although Rihanna's popularity has monumentally surpassed that of her former abuser, Brown's music career still appears to be flourishing. And it's not as if he's reformed into a gentleman over the years he's had to bury the scandal. In fact, Brown is just as crude and misogynistic as ever. What's worse are the constant rumors that Riri may be reigniting the flame between her and Brown, a speculation that has persisted over the years. The rumors cause fans to catch an inescapable anxiety, crossing their fingers that they may never have to hear the words "Chris Brown and Rihanna" in the same sentence as "relationship" ever again.

The only thing more pretentious than Coldplay's Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's conscious coupling was their equally pretentious "conscious uncoupling." The oh-so refined and Goop-tastic couple unraveled after years of eating quinoa and kale chips from the local Whole Foods. Not even $15,000 sex toys could bring back the magic that two millionaires dining in a gentrified neighborhood coffee shop once felt.

What made this Hollywood couple so unbearable was their high-and-mighty, better-than-you attitude. While most people are very well aware that not everyone can afford $900 throw blankets and vacations at the Ritz Carlton, Martin and Paltrow scoff at anyone who cannot or would even bother to try otherwise. For being such enlightened folks, the two can't seem to get a firm grip on the realities of everyday people. 

Hot off her year-long relationship with electronic DJ Calvin Harris, Taylor Swift jumped straight into the arms of another Brit mere moments following the aftermath of their breakup (if not before). Swift and Tom Hiddleston first met on the dance floor of the Met Gala, and it appears they haven't stopped bumpin' and grindin' ever since.

Already dubbed the groan-worthy Hiddleswift, the couple has sparked outrage from fans and haters alike. Many are already calling foul on the couple's coupling, accusing the two of some sort of elaborate publicity stunt. But despite Hiddleston's best efforts to cool that theory, the ruse wouldn't exactly be a shocker to anyone.

The "kick Taylor Swift off her pedestal" train has been in full effect ever since her split from Calvin Harris. It's not so much the fact that serial dater Swift moved on from Harris so quickly, as it is that her and Hiddleston have been flaunting their full-fledged love affair on full display ever since. Hiddleston's sporting his Fourth of July "I <3 T.S." tank top while the two grope each other in front of all their "closest friends" isn't exactly helping anyone's gag reflex.

Note: The same could be said for just about any of Taylor Swift's relationships.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's relationship is an eyesore the media just can't seem to rub away. Besides the fact that the two have been separated for several years now, many, including Bieber himself, like to tease that their romance may be on the Revival. Frankly, Gomez ripping up a fan poster reading "Marry Justin Please" at one of her concerts isn't exactly adding fuel to the flame. In fact, she's trying her damn well hardest to extinguish it.

While Gomez has grown lovelier and lovelier the more she matures, Bieber continually regresses into a "Baby"-like demeanor, throwing temper tantrums left and right. If there's a couple media outlets need to let go of, it's definitely Jelena. At least for Gomez's sake.

Major bets were lost when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made it past that sacred 72-day mark following their wedding. In what was once one of the most polarizing celebrity relationships ever, the two have since settled into both Hollywood notoriety and normalcy. However, that doesn't mean the two are any less petty or fame-hungry.

In fact, it's almost as if Kanye and Kim are TOO perfect for each other. Both thrive off tabloid drama, refuse to bite their tongue, imagine themselves as gods, and can hardly keep their hands off each other. Kim and Kanye are likely the most overexposed couple in Hollywood, and it doesn't seem to bother them in the slightest. If it's not a butt grab, it's their next plot to land on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. While Kimye manages to make a lot of sense, they also manage to occupy a lot of your daily news space, whether you want them to or not.

Is there a celebrity couple more forced and contrived than Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton? Already a confusing relationship from the get-go, the pop and country singer haven't been able to shut up about each other from the moment they formally swiveled their chairs around to declare their undying love for each other. From incredibly boring interviews to repetitive romantic duets on The Voice, there has scarcely been a moment in which Shelton and Stefani were not constantly publicizing their whirlwind romance.

All of the language and sound bites the two singers share about each other warrant just about the biggest eye roll you can muster. Set aside all the cliché nonsense the two spout about one another, and you'll also notice how both two conveniently shacked up in the midst of heavily-covered divorces. Most concerning: at what point did these two decide that any of their fans wanted a country-pop crossover? No one, not even the music charts.

When even the Kardashians have nothing positive to say about your boyfriend, you know something must be wrong. Yet Kylie Jenner still manages, time after time, to fall back into the arms of Tyga, a rapper with D-level talent and even worse teeth. If you're having trouble finger-pointing the most immature and teenage angst-driven relationship you can think of, try searching Kylie Jenner and Tyga on Google.

Despite the fact that Tyga is 26 years old, six years Jenner's senior, he has proven his maturity level is astronomically lower than his girlfriend's. And that's saying something, because it's not as if Jenner is known for much aside from facial injections and cheaply made lip kits. And sadly, Tyga's predatory tendencies aren't anything new. In the midst of his relationship with Jenner, Tyga flirted with and hit on a 14-year-old girl (although he claims it's because she can sing). If there's anything annoying about this couple, it's pretty much everything. Because good relationships are typically synonymous with maturity, and this one, here, lacks every definition of the word.
