Random Celebrity Couples and What They Can Teach Us About Love
Sia, the Grammy winner, and Harry Jowsey, the Netflix reality dating show veteran, were spotted hand in hand this past weekend—and thus immediately entered my unofficial list of 2025's most unforeseen celebrity couples. While the two later clarified that the pap walk was just promo for Harry's latest onscreen dating venture, Let's Marry Harry, it didn't stop online commentators from comparing their "relationship" to others in this year's string of wildly unpredictable celebrity romances. For example, the inescapable saga that is 22-year-old singer JoJo Siwa and 32-year-old Love Island alum Chris Hughes' relationship. There are plenty of surprising elements about that particular origin story (they met on Celebrity Big Brother UK, while JoJo was *technically* in a relationship), but one of its main talking points is just how random it feels. There's the age gap, the fact that JoJo was exclusively dating women prior, and how JoJo and Chris seem to exist in such separate spheres of culture. Almost like rapper Tyga and Riverdale star Madeleine Petsch, who also debuted their relationship this year. Or even Zoe Kravitz and Noah Centineo, who were spotted holding hands earlier this year. It's not that these stars are "random" in their own right. It's that, when paired together, you can't imagine they'd have much in common. At least, based on what we, the public, know about them. I find a lot of joy in imagining the everyday logistics these seemingly mismatched couples navigate But it's also forced me to reflect on the value of dating outside your usual circle. Before anyone accuses me of overanalyzing celebrity relationships (ones potentially orchestrated by crafty PR teams), hear me out. Modern dating culture has become overly reliant on types and algorithms. Look at all the dating apps that brag about their ability to deliver your so-called "perfect match." As humans, we're naturally reluctant to pursue relationships where cultural differences might lead to misunderstandings and conflicts from the outset. Stepping outside our race, income bracket, or immediate social circle requires an effort many aren't willing to make. However, matchmaker Maria Avgitidis, author of the bestseller Ask A Matchmaker and CEO of Agape Match, suggests this could be the very key to forming deeper connections. 'When you date someone outside your usual circle, you get a fresh perspective and often, a stronger connection rooted in values, not status,' she says. 'You're not following a script. It's less about Do we look good on paper? and more about Do we actually work together? That kind of dynamic can be surprisingly grounding.' The way that fans (including myself) respond to 'random' celebrity pairings often reveals their own personal reservations. 'People project all kinds of fantasies onto celebrities, and when they date someone unexpected or someone with less fame or status, it disrupts that fantasy,' says Avgitidis."There's also a lot of classism, ageism, and jealousy. People don't like being reminded that chemistry doesn't follow a formula.' To be fair, some backlash is valid, especially when rooted in informed critiques of potentially problematic age gap relationships. But that's when we should use case-by-case discernment instead of resorting to immediate judgment. 'A 10-year age gap when someone is 35? Fine,' says Avgitidis. 'But when one person is 21 and the other is in their 30s, I'd say proceed with caution. The brain isn't even fully developed at 21, and there's usually a power imbalance.' But if we can learn anything from pairs like JoJo and Chris, or Sia and Harry (real or not) it's to keep an open mind about partners your friends (or fans) might consider out of left field. 'Ask yourself: Are your preferences authentic, or just familiar? A lot of people confuse compatibility with sameness. But the best relationships often come from complementing each other, not cloning each other. Expand your circle. You don't need to marry your mirror image.'

Wait, Is Harry Jowsey Dating Sia?
As if Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa wasn't enough, 2025 may well be bringing yet another unexpected couple into our midst. Singer Sia was spotted holding hands with reality star Harry Jowsey – leaving many fans questioning whether they're actually dating… She's known for swinging from chandeliers and donning oversized wigs, while he's known for breaking hearts and flirting for his day job. Yet, it seems worlds have collided with Too Hot To Handle's Harry Jowsey and singer Sia. The pair have sparkled romance rumours after being spotted holding hands at Los Angeles' Ca Del Sole restaurant earlier this month. ©Rachpoot/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Despite their age gap, there are some things that bond 28 year old Harry and 49 year old Sia. They're both in the public eye, they're both from Australia, and they're both freshly single. As far as similarities, that seems to be it. And as baffled as us at this unlikely duo is the rest of the internet. Taking to X (formerly twitter), one user wrote, 'Harry with Sia is most definitely highly odd. So odd that it intrigues me.' 'Harry Jowsey and Sia is the most random combo I've seen since my ex and I,' added another. However, given the announcement of Netflix's new Let's Marry Harry, some are convinced this is more PR stunt that romance. So, are Harry Jowsey and Sia actually dating? And what is Let's Marry Harry? Here's everything to know about this unusual duo… Who has Harry Jowsey dated? Sia is far from the first famous face who Harry's been spotted with. Their outing comes just months after Harry was said to be 'casually' dating Pretty Little Liars actress Lucy Hale – who split from ex-husband John Owen Lowe last year. Opening up in March about his lowkey romance, Harry said on his Boyfriend Material podcast, 'There's someone I've been seeing, and I get excited about telling them what I'm doing – even things that I'd be afraid to tell an ex. I remember in a past relationship there'd be an ex, and if I booked a TV show, I would be too scared to tell them because they would get angry at me or there's be some sort of competition.' Harry was said to be dating Pretty Little Liars star Lucy ©for Fashion Trust U.S. After rising to fame on Netflix's Too Hot To Handle in 2020, Harry initially enjoyed a whirlwind romance with his co-star Francesca Farago. Opening up about splitting from the model in 2021, Harry later explained 'The happiest moments of my life were with her, but when things were bad, they were really bad. I knew that if I continued to be with Francesca that it would end up with her being seriously heartbroken or me continually being seriously depressed in the relationship.' Francesca has since found love with TikToker Jesse 'Sulli' Sullivan, welcoming twins Poetry Lucia and Locket Romance late last year. Since then, Harry's been linked to a string of names – including Kylie Jenner's BFF Stassie Karanikolaou, British influencer Madeline Argy, and Perfect Match star Georgia Hassarati. He reportedly dated _Love Is Blind'_s Jessica Vestal earlier this year, also admitting in January that he had also slid into Sabrina Carpenter's DMs. In case you're wondering, it was a 'fail' – with Harry revealing the 'Manchild' singer never replied. Is Sia single? The singer is newly single, having filed for divorce from her husband Dan Bernard in March – just a year after the pair secretly welcomed a baby, named Somersault Wonder. Sia is also mum to two adult sons, who she adopted around 2019 as they were aging out of the foster care system. What is Let's Marry Harry? Earlier this month, Netflix announced the upcoming first (and hopefully last) season of Let's Marry Harry. Think The Bachelor, but your prize is a well-seasoned reality TV lothario. Releasing details on the show and how to apply, Netflix confirmed Let's Marry Harry will see the TV star receive guidance and advice from his close friends, including Call Her Daddy's Alex Cooper, as he attempts to find the love of his life. 'I haven't necessarily been the best at keeping relationships,' 28-year-old Harry explained, 'but I knew if I was going to give love one last shot after all the work I've been putting into myself, I'd need Alex to help keep me in check while searching for a potential wife.' Days after being spotted holding hands, Sia shared the ad for Let's Marry Harry. She wrote, 'I'm signing up and so should you… He's a dream.' So, are Sia and Harry Jowsey actually dating? So, was it all a marketing ploy? Will Sia really appear on Harry's Netflix show to sweep him off his feet? We can't say for sure – but it certainly looks like this was all just some fun. While insiders said their 'chemistry is undeniable', other sources have said it's strictly platonic between these two.

'Priced for Explosive Growth': Netflix Stock (NASDAQ:NFLX) Gains Despite Growth Concerns
Streaming giant Netflix (NFLX) may be about to be a victim of its own success. While it has certainly delivered the kind of numbers that make a four-figure-per-share price tag look almost reasonable, there are mounting concerns that Netflix simply cannot keep that kind of growth going forever. Regardless, shareholders are on board, and shares were up over 1.5% in the closing minutes of Monday's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Basically, Netflix is doing great right now. It has already raised its guidance once, and that modified guidance looks like it will ultimately happen. Netflix is on track to pull in $13.5 billion in operating income for the year in 2025, and that blows its nearest competitor Disney (DIS) out of the water by better than 10-to-one. However, there is a potentially fatal flaw lurking here. Netflix stock is priced like Netflix will see explosive growth, running somewhere in the neighborhood of 44 times projected earnings. Granted, Netflix has ambitious internal goals, including hitting the $1 trillion market cap point by 2030. And while Netflix hopes to double its ad business this year, there are still plenty of ways these ambitious targets may falter. And as earlier assessments from about three weeks ago made clear: any disappointment would be a risk. Growth Fodder But Netflix is not resting idle. Growth requires new properties, and new fodder. Indeed, Netflix is poised to take a bit of a risk, hoping that lightning will strike twice in the video game adaptation field. Netflix had a winner with The Witcher, and looks to follow that up with an Assassin's Creed series next. The series is poised to give us '…power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance,' which suggests it will find brisk viewership for at least a couple of episodes. Further, Netflix will also be bringing in, or bringing back, a slew of reality series shows as well. Harry Jowsey's search for love will come to a head with Let's Marry Harry, and Simon Cowell: The Next Act will give us the snarky American Idol judge in his element: creating a boy band from scratch. Further on tap is just about everything from young chefs to bodybuilders and well beyond, so chances are, finding something to watch on Netflix should be just a few remote button presses away. Is Netflix Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on NFLX stock based on 26 Buys and 10 Holds assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 86.76% rally in its share price over the past year, the average NFLX price target of $1,413 per share implies 14.52% downside risk.
