FriendzonedAll the Celebrity BFF Duos Fans Wish Would Date in Real Life

Joey King and Joel Courtney

The pair played BFFs in all three The Kissing Booth movies, but some fans shipped them when the cameras stopped rolling! But the two are both friends as they are in other relationships.

Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly

These two may play BF and GF in the Disney Channel Original Movie ZOMBIES, but they’re not together in real life. Fans totally ship this relationship, but both Milo and Meg have explained numerous times that they’re nothing more than best friends.

Mitchell Hope and Dove Cameron

Descendants fans know that the film’s ultimate ship is between King Ben and Mal, but sorry to say, Mitchell and Dove have not dated in real life — as much as viewers wish they did.

Dove even gushed exclusively to J-14 in 2017 about how she and Mitchell have the sweetest bond in real life.

“Mitchell is one of my favorite people on the face of the Earth. I mean that in a real way. You know how people say that in Hollywood? I wouldn’t say that unless I meant it. He’s a really sensitive human being and so am I. So when two people recognize a commonality, it’s like looking across the room at someone the first day of school and it’s like I see me in you and you see you in me,” Dove said.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper

After their movie A Star Is Born was released in October 2018, fans were convinced these two were together. They further sparked romance rumors after cuddling up next to each other during a performance of the hit song “Shallow” during the 2019 Oscars.

In an interview with Elle magazine from November 2019, Lady Gaga denied ever being in a relationship with Bradley. She explained that they wanted fans to think they “were in love.”

“For me, as a performer and as an actress, of course we wanted people to believe that we were in love,” she said. “And we worked hard on it, we worked for days. We mapped the whole thing out—it was orchestrated as a performance.”

Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya

The actors struck up quite the friendship while filming the movie Dune together in 2019. In January 2020 they were spotted hanging out in one of New York City’s Bed Bath & Beyond locations, which started some romance rumors between the two.

A few months later, they set the record straight when Timothée praised his “friend” Zendaya on her birthday in September 2020.

Lana Condor and Noah Centineo

Since their To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before characters had such an adorable relationship in the Netflix film, fans quickly started shipping Noah and Lana in real life. They soon shut down the romance rumors because Lana is in a long-term relationship with Anthony de la Torre.

When chatting with Entertainment Tonight in August 2018, Noah denied the idea that he and Lana were more than friends. When the actor was asked if they would consider getting together in the future, he said, “Not with Lana. She’s boo’d up.”

Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth

These two met on the Hunger Games movie set and have frequently said that they’re best friends. In fact, Liam even said it was “uncomfortable” kissing Jennifer for the film series.

“She’s one of my best friends, I love her. But, if we had a kissing scene, she would make a point of eating garlic or tuna fish or something that was disgusting,” he said on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon in 2014. Right before the scene, she’d be like, ‘Yeah, I ate tuna’ or ‘I had garlic, and I didn’t brush my teeth.’ And I’d be like, ‘Fantastic, I can’t wait to get in there and taste it!’”

Emma Watson and Tom Felton

Ever since they starred in Harry Potter together, fans speculated that Tom and Emma were more than friends. Since the film series came to an end, they’ve hung out numerous times, but never took things to the next level.

Ashley Benson and Tyler Blackburn

When chatting with Playboy in June 2019, Tyler set the record straight and said he and Ashley were always “good buds.” He also noted that relationship rumors between the two always made them “laugh.”

“She was a huge part of a huge change in my life, so I’ll always hold her dear,” the PLL star recalled.

Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes-Tiffin

After they starred in After together, fans hoped these two stars would get together in real life. But when chatting with Entertainment Tonight in October 2020, Hero called the pair “good friends” putting an end to relationship rumors once and for all!

Riele Downs and Jace Norman

When Henry Danger first started in 2014, fans were quick to assume that costars Riele and Jace had a major thing for each other offscreen. But throughout their time on the show, the actors have denied relationship rumors and confirmed that they were only friends.

Sabrina Carpenter and Corey Fogelmanis

After they starred in Girl Meets World together, fans quickly started shipping Sabrina and Corey. We hate to break it to you guys, but as cute as they would be together, it turns out, the two stars were never more than friends.

Sabrina even addressed the rumors that they were dating in an Instagram post back in 2018.

“Happy birthday Corey,” the star wrote. “You’re a great friend and I’m honored to know you, and not date you. Thanks for being there for me and not dating me. Love you so much. Platonically.”

Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard

Millie and Finn’s characters in Stranger Things had so much chemistry on screen that fans started to wonder if the actors might have had feelings for each other in real life, too. But they’ve confirmed multiple times that they too are only friends!

David Dobrik and Natalie Mariduena

Fans were convinced for years that the YouTube star was dating his BFF and assistant, but the rumors were put to an end after Natalie went public with David’s BFF and Vlog Squad member, Todd Smith!

Ross Lynch and Laura Marano

Diehard Austin & Ally fans shipped these two pretty hard because their characters were couple goals in the show, but no, the actors never actually dated in real life.
