As the calendar turns to 2026, the spotlight on celebrity relationships intensifies, with predictions swirling about which high-profile couples will solidify their bonds and which will part ways. Following a 2025 filled with headline-making romances, the new year is poised to bring everything from surprise engagements to dramatic splits.
High-Profile Pairs: To Wed or to Part?
All eyes are on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and pop superstar Katy Perry, whose relationship has captivated public interest. Opinions on their future are sharply divided. Some forecasters predict an amicable separation, while others envision a whirlwind wedding followed just as quickly by a divorce. A more moderate prediction suggests their romance will continue to flourish throughout the year, potentially leading to an engagement by December 2026. Analysts speculate that Trudeau, having sampled the celebrity lifestyle, may join Perry in a collaborative entertainment venture reminiscent of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's projects.
Other established couples are widely expected to head to the altar. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, along with Dua Lipa and Callum Turner, are tipped to say "I do," with both pairs likely to share their wedding joy publicly. In contrast, Zendaya and Tom Holland are predicted to maintain their characteristic privacy, with any marital news only confirmed by the sight of a ring. Fashion critics anticipate Zendaya's gown will be universally praised, while Swift's choice, though stunning, may polarize fans online.
New Romances and Expanding Families
The year 2026 may also see new love stories blossom. Lady Gaga, engaged to tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky, is predicted to focus on starting a family, opting for an intimate wedding. Her dress, however, is expected to be a dramatic creation from a house like Versace or Alexander McQueen, with Elton John reportedly lined up as best man.
Kim Kardashian is forecasted to find love again, but not with an athlete or entertainer. Predictions point to a slightly older, fellow divorcee from the technology sector. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck is rumored to potentially date another famous Jennifer, moving beyond the cycle with exes Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez.
Forecasted Splits and Final Notes
Not all predictions are for lasting love. Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are expected to separate now that their work on *Wicked* has concluded. The reported romance between Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun is predicted to end quietly before being officially confirmed. Furthermore, persistent rumors of a split between Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are tipped to finally prove true—unless a surprise pregnancy and engagement alter the course.
The article concludes with a sobering, non-romantic prediction: a continued trend toward extreme thinness among female celebrities, noting this is a pattern already visibly underway.
