Have you ever seen pics of two celebs together on social media and thought, “these two
are FRIENDS?”
Well today, we’re taking a look at some of the most unexpected celeb besties, from
Cardi B and Olivia Rodrigo, to Harry Styles and Lizzo.
Let’s get into it!
Look—it doesn’t come as a complete surprise that many celebrities choose to hang with
other celebs in their downtime.
I mean, these stars often aren’t just colleagues—they’re also peers, occasional neighbors, collaborators,
and of course, friends!
So here are some of Hollywood’s perhaps most unexpected I-R-L celeb BFFs!
And yeah, some of these friendships might seriously warm your heart.
We’re kicking things off with these two badass female artists: Cardi B and Olivia
Rodrigo.
Let’s be real: Olivia has made it no secret that she’s a certified Cardi B stan, and
how exactly their friendship first began is kind of amazing.
You see, back in January of last year, following the release of “drivers license,” Cardi
made a hilariously on-brand tweet complaining about not having her drivers license when
craving McDonald’s in the middle of the night, and referenced Olivia in the tweet.
Olivia, being the fan she is, wrote back, “girl i will pick u up and take u wherever
u wanna go,” to which Cardi responded, “yay!
Let’s go to McDonald’s and get happy meals!”
We are so obsessed with this friendship, and love how supportive of each other these two
are!
….and can we please get a follow-up on whether or not they actually got Happy Meals together??
Since then, Cardi and Olivia have only continued to gush over each other, with Olivia having
praised Cardi on multiple occasions for being a super honest songwriter and an inspiration
when it comes to writing her own music.
Olivia even told Apple Music last year that she feels “lucky” to be a teenager during
the time where Cardi’s making music, and expressed her serious love for the rapper.
(Olivia) Some of the stuff that she says is so honest and like, almost shockingly honest…”
And how amazing was it to see them finally together in real life at Super Bowl 56 in
LA?!
Cardi could NOT hold back her fangirling!
“eeee she’s so adorable”
Yup, it’s official- we’re gonna need a collab between these two ASAP!
Another duo of popstar BFFs are Harry Styles and Lizzo, who have had a seriously adorable
friendship since day 1.
As you may recall, Harry covered Lizzo's song, "Juice," in a 2019 BBC Radio 1 radio performance,
which she was more than stoked about.
And just a month later, they came together to perform it live at a Super Bowl concert
in Miami.
Yeah, we’re still obsessed with this performance.
Then, in March 2021, they finally got to see each other again at the Grammys, and of course,
had that iconic photoshoot.
I mean I love these two individually, but TOGETHER, they're magic!
But of course, singers aren’t exclusively friends with other artists in the music industry.
I mean, did you know Jennifer Aniston and Selena Gomez are highkey besties?
Yep, the singer and the F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
star actually have a pretty special relationship.
Jen and Sel came together through their shared manager (which is side note- Olivia Rodrigo’s
new manager!) and let’s be real, we love to see it!
Back in 2015, Jen told E! News, "She's just like a little cherub that I feel like I wanna
take care of.
She's been extremely supportive and wonderful."
“See, this is what you’re missing.”
Aww!
It looks like Jen is definitely there for Selena, and I love this kind of big and little
sis relationship.
And to be honest?
Sel does kind of seem like a Rachel to me.
In perhaps one of the most unexpected celeb friendships, fans might be surprised to know
that there’s another F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
star who’s created a pretty tight relationship with a popstar: Ed Sheeran and Courtney Cox!
“I did not see that coming.”
On the surface, it may seem like these two would have absolutely nothing in common, but
Ed and Courtney are actually super close.
Last year, Ed told James Corden that he was introduced to Courtney by a friend who invited
him to a party at her house, and he ended up crashing there that night.
Ed said, "she was like, "Anytime you want to stay, let me know, And then literally every
single time I've been back to Los Angeles since then, I've stayed there."
Could have never predicted it, but talk about a super sweet friendship!
Ed also voiced his support for Courtney on social media when she was up for a People’s
Choice Award all the way back in 2013, taking to IG to write, “My friend Courteney is
nominated for a People Choice Award for favorite cable tv actress.
She's never won one before and she lets me live in her beach house, so how's about we
all vote for her and win her the damn thang eh?”
Yep, looks like these two go way back!
And honestly?
I’m so here for it.
We love a supportive BFF!
Ok this NEXT friendship definitely threw people off when it first began in 2020, but nonetheless,
it seems like these two are still pretty tight.
Yep, I’m talking about TikTok star Addison Rae and Kourtney Kardashian, who first started
hanging out a couple years ago after, weirdly enough, Kourt’s son Mason, and Youtuber
David Dobrik brought them together.
While appearing on The Tom Ward show, Addison explained, “I met Kourtney through a friend—through
David.
We had surprised Mason, because Mason liked my videos on TikTok.
Then I kind of just stuck around and we got really close."
Never underestimate the power of TikTok!
Addison and Kourtney might have raised some eyebrows due to their 22 year age gap, with
the internet having a lot of opinions about their friendship.
“Okay, weird, but whatever.”
But nonetheless, Kourt and Addison have chosen to just brush off the haters, and have since
collaborated on a number of projects together, in addition to just being BFFs.
As you may recall, Addison actually stopped by for an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians,
where even Kris, Kim, and the rest of the Kar-Jenner fam were a little…confused about
Kourt’s friendship with Addison, leading to a pretty awkward moment.
(Kim) “I’m surprised Kourtney doesn’t have long, coraly, orangey neon nails.”
(Addison)” Oh no, she’s gonna redo them tomorrow.”
Then, in August of 2021, Kourtney actually had a cameo in Addison’s acting debut, Netflix’s
“He’s All That,” in which she played a Kardashian-esque social media manager.
Love it or hate it, it was kind of the perfect role for Kourt.
At the end of the day, we’re just so here for these celeb BFFs, even if they might seem
pretty unexpected on the surface.
It’s certainly no easy feat being a public figure, and we’re just glad these stars
have each other to lean on for support!
