20 Celebs Who Clearly Have A Type & Can't Help But Date The Same Person Over And Over
We all have one - yes, all of us. It's called swipe left or that moment we "hover." Some girls go for athletic guys. Some go for the boy-next-door. For others, it's blonde surfer dudes, brooding indie guys, or that guy with a British accent. Whether it's the emotionally unavailable guy (or the one who wears his heart on his sleeve), we've all got a type.
There's a problem, though. Some girls sit there, 100% convinced that the new guy they're dating is "completely not like the last guy." He makes the eggs differently. He's a better driver. He wasn't pushy on the second date. By the time the third date is over though, it's for us girlfriends to walk around on eggshells, thinking, "How do we tell her, gently, that the new guy is a giant 2.0 of the last one?"
Celebrities are no different. We've got our #MarriageGoals like Victoria and David Beckham or Beyonce and Jay Z. More often than not though, we're seeing our lives mirrored by the rich and famous. We were 100% convinced that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson would last. When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt got together, we thought that would be it. In fact, these two couples join a long list of celebs who are doing the one thing that seems unavoidable - dating the same guy over and over.
Whether it's British dudes, edgy pop icons, rappers, or co-stars, these ladies are doing it. Here are 20 celebs who can't help but date the same guy over and over.
20 Ariana Grande: Deep Love That Doesn't Last
As Ariana takes a break from social media following the shock split from her Pete Davidson engagement, it's time to look at Ariana's dating history.
Ariana falls for guys - and fast. Her 2018 breakup from Mac Miller saw a deep, two-year relationship fall apart. Her October 2018 split from Pete Davidson saw 24 days of dating before getting engaged, matching tattoos, and "I'm 100% marrying him" statement about the day she clapped eyes on Pete.
Before Mac Miller, Ariana dated Youtuber, Jai Brooks. Ariana's type? Sweet guys with a rock-n-roll edge for whom she will fall head over heels (but it never lasts).
19 Kylie Jenner: Rappers Only Need Apply
Kylie Jenner has spent most of the past month shutting down rumors that she and Travis Scott have split. "Obviously fake" was Kylie's response when Twitter fans suggested that her baby daddy had left her.
The rapper portfolio: Travis Scott, Tyga, PartyNextDoor. Whack on the Florida-based rapper Stitches and a 2013 relationship with Jaden Smith, and you've got the picture.
"On my birthday, [Travis] woke me up out of bed at like six in the morning. He was like: We got to go." Travis took Kylie to see the sunrise with violin players and flowers everywhere. Kylie is romantic, but she's got a type. One rapper please.
18 Jennifer Aniston: Always A Good Start, Never A Good End
We can't help but feel for this girl. Jennifer Aniston is the original, all-American sweetheart who seems to have fallen into an unfortunate relationship pattern - always a good start, never a good end.
"Brad just wasn't there for me," Jen told Today in 2004. When Jen saw a Brad and Angelina magazine cover, she said of Brad: "There's a sensitivity chip that's missing."
Jen and Brad Pitt were Hollywood's golden couple (until Angelina Jolie came along). Jen's second divorce from Justin Theroux was only separated by a string of guys including John Mayer, Tate Donovan, and Vince Vaugh. Jen's type? Seems solid, never is.
17 Angelina Jolie: Always Eyeing Up The "Taken" Guy
Angelina Jolie's dating portfolio is almost as impressive as her movie resume. Now aged 42 with six children and three divorces, Ange is single. Angelina's first marriage was to the Trainspotting actor, Jonny Lee Miller. PopSugar reports that Ange was "involved" with the model, Jenny Shimizu at the time.
Way more high-profile were Ange's next two marriages. Hubby #2: Billy Bob Thornton (while he was engaged to someone else). Hubby #3: Brad Pitt (whom Angelina began dating when Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston).
After 12 years together, "Brangelina" collapsed in an ugly custody battle. Angelina's type? Always eyeing up the taken guy.
16 Khloe Kardashian: The Questionable NBA Player
"More unstable than ever" is how Cosmopolitan reported Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's relationship just last week.
Khloe is reportedly "struggling to trust Tristan." Khloe has done the basketball "bad boy" route before. Lamar Odom, Rashad McCants, plus sports figures, Derrick Ward and Matt Kemp.
Just days before Khloe gave birth to True, The Daily Mail released video footage of Tristan with an unknown woman at a NYC bar. Kim went on The Ellen Show, calling the whole thing "[messed] up." Before Tristan came another basketball player with a wandering eye. Khloe divorced Lamar Odom in 2013.
15 Gigi Hadid: Edgy Pop Icons
"Lol ur not zayn malik" were the edgy, statement tees that Gigi Hadid wore during her 2-year romance with the former One Direction star. This model took on Zayn's edgy vibes, slick style, and grunge finish. The early days seemed to be Gigi getting a feel for the polished product - in 2015, Gigi dated the Australian musician Cody Simpson.
Gigi quickly moved onto Joe Jonas, where "G.I. Joe" was the moniker. "I think it's interesting that she moved on so quickly," Joe told The Daily Mirror in 2016. What had Gigi moved onto? Another edgy pop icon, Zayn Malik. #ComesWithAPattern
14 Katie Holmes: Controlling Movie Icons
Women around the world are still trying to comprehend how a girl like Katie Holmes disappeared down the rabbit hole. Katie's early loves included her Dawson's Creek co-star, Joshua Jackson and a 2000 romance with American Pie's Chris Klein. The headlines turned from minor to major when Katie married Tom Cruise in 2007. Despite sharing a daughter, Suri, they divorced in 2012. The Daily Mail reports:
"Katie cannot date publicly for 5 years after her divorce." A controlling allegation that keeps Katie tied-down, despite her dating Jamie Foxx.
The shy, quiet girl dates the seemingly controlling mega-star. Katie's typ e- in over your head.
13 Kourtney Kardashian: One True Love, Lots Of Guys In Between
You've only got to watch one episode of KUWTK to see that Kourtney Kardashian still has feelings for Scott Disick. With 3 kids and a "not together" status, Kourt still lets Scott walk all over her. Scott is currently dating someone 15 years younger than him - Sofia Richie.
"Do you still hit on her?" Ryan Seacrest asked Scott. "Yeah, once a week," Scott joked. Kourtney said "I don't know" when asked whether their relationship could ever be more than just co-parenting.
Kourt is fresh from her split with the 25-year-old model, Younes Bendjima. Alongside Joe Francis, they form a string of guys separating her true love, Scott Disick.
12 Sofia Richie: The Guy That Kourtney Kardashian Wants
At the age of 20, Sofia Richie is barely old enough to have a proper relationship history. She's definitely got a high-profile one, though. Strolling through cities arm-in-arm with Scott Disick is how this model spends her days, and something about Kourtney's actions are saying: "Don't like it."
"So, is she Kylie's age? 20?" Sofia was 19 when she started dating Scott Disick, now aged 35. Kim Kardashian said, "Whatever makes him happy, I don't care."
Kourt's behavior says it all, though. If Scott can date younger, so can she. At the age of 39, Kourtney started dating the then 24-year-old model, Younes Bendjima. It didn't last, though.
11 Leonardo DiCaprio: Models, Models, Models
"Fifteen models, 15 blondes, 4 actresses, one pop star, and Leo." That was Elle's headline when the magazine ran a story on the many relationships of Leonardo DiCaprio. Ready for it? Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bundchen, Bar Refaeli, Bridget Hall, Erin Heatherton, Toni Garrn, and his current girlfriend, Camilla Morrone.
Leo likes them tall, leggy, and preferably with a Victoria's Secret membership. "Leo keeps everyone's number should they drop by if they're ever in LA, so he does stay in touch with girls,"
a model told The Sun. Lily Aldridge said: "He does have a lot of models around." Seventy of them, to be precise, according to Leo's yacht party headcount.
10 Kim Kardashian: Rappers, Rappers, Rappers
KimYe they may be, but this is something we've seen Kim Kardashian repeat. The woman that Kanye West has called his "fellow superhero" is now his wife, following their ultra-lavish 2014 wedding in Italy. They currently share the $20 million Bel Air mansion (that they took 4 years to move into).
Kim's marriage to Kris Humphries lasted just 72 days. Longer relationships? It's rappers. #1 Reggie Bush. #2 Nick Cannon. #3 TMZ's reports of 50 Cent. #4 Kanye West.
Kim and Kanye are now parents to North, Saint, and Chicago. KimYe seem solid, but she's got a type. Music will do, but rap is best.
9 Kate Hudson: Rockers, Rockers, Rockers
With only a few sports personalities to break up the pattern, Kate Hudson is a lady who most definitely has her type. Kate's newborn daughter, Rani will probably only want to know about her daddy, Danny Fujikawa (who kind of fits the mold we're talking about).
In 2000, Kate married The Black Crowes frontman, Chris Robinson. Next, was Muse's frontman, Matt Bellamy. Eonline reports a "rumored fling" with Nick Jonas, although that may have been because Nick wasn't "rocker enough."
Dribs and drabs include major faces like Alex Rodriguez and Lance Armstrong, but Kate's heart is with the rockers. #StickToYourType
8 Taylor Swift: Guys She Can Write Songs About
It's "wait in line" if you want to date Taylor Swift. Whatever Reputation Taylor has, it's built on the relationships that she has endured. Taylor dates high-profile A-Listers who inevitably break her heart- but bonus points for leading to record-breaking songs.
Anything but a "Blank Space." A little scruffy (and a lot famous) is Tay-Tay's type, as seen in Harry Styles, Calvin Harris, Jack Gyllenhaal, and Tom Hiddleston.
Her album 1989's "Out Of The Woods" is assumed to be about Harry Styles. "Look What You Made Me Do" was a literal graveyard dig at Calvin Harris. Tom Hiddleston also shows up there.
7 Nicki Minaj: Guys She Can Rap About
It's now reached the point where a guy "dares" to date Nicki Minaj. The indisputable Queen, Nicki may be single, but it's precisely with her singles that she shares her dating history. Nicki was steady for 12 years with Safaree Samuels, although her relationships and rumored hookups are nicely tossed into her "Barbie Queen" lyrics.
"Barbie Dreams" throws #GirlPower mentions to Quavo, Drake, Eminem, Mike Tyson, The Game, DJ Khaled "had to cancel… we ain't speaking'".
Most are a big pun. Drake and Nicki caused rumors when they joked about being married. Nicki has dated Meek Mill, but the message is simple. Nicki's guys are anything but "meek."
6 Emma Stone: Cute Nerds
"I once read that I looked like a fish inside of a chicken." Emma Stone is herself the cute nerdy type, and her boyfriends 100% match. After co-starring in The Rocker, Emma started dating Teddy Geiger. Next, was Emma's relationship with Macaulay Culkin's brother, Kieran Culkin. Again, we're seeing the cute nerd.
Definitely heavier on the cute than the nerd was Emma's relationship with the Spider-Man actor, Andrew Garfield. These two actually met in the early 2010s during screen tests for The Amazing Spider-Man. Both of them were dating other people at the time, but they found their own time (for a while).
5 Blac Chyna: Vulnerable Rich Guys
Blac Chyna remains the hard-hitting loudmouth who won't stop until she's fully immersed in the Kardashian circle. She's gotten pretty close - being a baby momma to Rob Kardashian got her Rob & Chyna, but the show was axed. The list of relationships and hook-ups for this Instagram star and model is, er, long.
Babies are the way to seal the deal for Chyna. She did it with Tyga, before having Dream with Rob Kardashian. With exes that include James Harden, Rich the Kid, Swae Lee, Playboi Carti, and Dave East, we're seeing a pattern. Rob Kardashian remains Chyna's most lucrative acquisition.
4 Selena Gomez: Guys Who Leave Her Feeling Vulnerable
Something about Selena Gomez's relationship choices just make us want to hug her. Selena's 2018 split from Justin Bieber came with a kick in the teeth as the "Sorry" singer appeared very "not sorry" - in the blink of an eye, Justin proposed to Hailey Baldwin.
"While people were writing that I was stupid for being in it, this is what I always saw in him."
Selena dates big faces like Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Nick Jonas. Ultimately, she is left seeming vulnerable. Popsugar adds rumored flames to also include Orlando Bloom and Niall Horan alongside Selena's typical guys. They run with the "Wolves."
3 Katy Perry: Not The Most Respectful Type
Katy Perry is one of the most confident women in the music industry. Katy is beautiful enough to rock a blonde pixie, strong enough to pen songs like "Roar," but when it comes to relationships, we see a different girl.
Katy dated Gym Class Heroes' Travie McCoy. He was less "jerk," but he fit the "struggling" profile. Russell Brand was next. This British comedian and actor married Katy, although he posted unflattering no-makeup shots of her on Twitter. Taking it up a notch with the notorious player, John Mayer was next. This guy shares intimate details. Katy has yet to find the one.
2 Jennifer Lawrence: British Guys With Blue Eyes
Blonde hair might be a "sometimes" deal for Jennifer Lawrence, but blue eyes seem to be on her guy list, alongside a British accent. J-Law is an actress that girls seem to totally dig (or straight-up dislike). The Hunger Games turn very specific with Jen's dating appetite- Coldplay's Chris Martin and X-Men's Nicholas Hoult both fit the criteria.
At 25 years old, J-Law also seems to lean towards older guys. Chris Martin is 41, while her other high-profile relationship saw her date the 49 year-old filmmaker, Darren Aronofsky. Jen called her relationship with Darren "unhealthy" after they split. The appetite for blue-eyed Brits remains healthy, though.
1 Blake Lively: Guys Named Ryan
It's a simple formula for Blake Lively, whose personal life is anything but Gossip Girl. In 2010, Blake had a whirlwind romance with a certain Ryan Gosling. Taking all our relationship, life, and marriage goals and throwing them in our face, Blake remains best known for her marriage to Ryan Reynolds. Leonardo Di Caprio briefly worked his way into Blakes' life in 2011, but he wasn't called Ryan. That answers that.
Hit share on Facebook. If you smiled at Blac Chyna, Nicki Minaj, Khloe Kardashian or any of the other 17 on this list, someone else will, too.
