Every New Celeb Couple That’s Gone Public in 2026—Including a Few Second-Chance Romances

Fans were thrilled when Katie was first spotted holding hands with artist Jason Bard Yarmosky in July—and as it turns out, this thing may be more than a fling! The two have already made their first red carpet appearance together, so stay tuned for.

Not long after her split from Jake Short was announced, Mika was spotted looking veeeery cozy with her Off Campus costar Josh during a June trip to Paris. They’ve been spotted on a handful of occasions, and while nothing official has been confirmed, things.

What Happened

Okay, yes, this relationship technically began well over a decade ago, but fans first began speculating that Ari and Ricky could be giving their relationship a second try in June when she began changing the lyric mentioning Ricky in her song “thank.

• The pair was then spotted again just a week later holding hands, and while neither has explicitly confirmed their relationship status even eight months later, they’re still going strong (and even collaborating on music!).

• Soon after, a Daily Mail insider claimed the two were just “friends with benefits” and that “Lewis and Kim are not dating exclusively”…but then they were spotted at the Super Bowl looking very coupley.

• They were later spotted together on vacation in Mexico, but now it seems they’re ready to go public.

Key Details

Though they were first papped together back in April, fans didn’t ID Andy’s new man, Kevin Sobieski, until June, when they were spotted smooching in the West Village. The Bravo star later confirmed that Kevin was, indeed, his boyfriend, and they’ve since.

• The pair was first linked back in November, when the Daily Mail published pics of the two holding hands and kissing in NYC.

• After months of dating rumors, EmRata seemingly confirmed dating rumors by posting a series of loved-up pics of herself with Dua Lipa’s ex on Instagram in February.

• By May, they’d been photographed on a yacht in Sardinia together, and though Kylian seemingly hard-launched his rumored GF on Instagram in July, he later deleted the pic.

Why It Matters

TBH, it’s hard to say what is ever really going on with these two, but the reality stars seemingly declared themselves an official item when they attended the AMAs together in May. Most recently, Marciano showed off his new “J” tattoo on.

• Though it’s still not totally clear what’s going on between these two, Spanish actor Ester Expósito first raised eyebrows when she was spotted at one of the footballer’s matches back in March.

• Since then, they’ve hit the red carpet together on multiple occasions, so it feels safe to say that they’re a bona fide item!
