It’s not who you start the year with, but who you end it kissing as the clock strikes midnight.<\/p>\n

As we all know, celebrities know how to deliver the relationship drama, breaking up, hooking up, reconciling and divorce-filing all the time. But 2019 proved to be a particularly busy year in the celebrity romance department, with some major splits and even more surprising hookups. <\/p>\n

Just think: In 2018, Pete Davidson<\/a><\/strong> and Ariana Grande<\/a><\/strong> were arguably the most talked-about couple, but since their split, the Saturday Night Live <\/em>star has been in three high-profile relationships this year alone. (BDE effect?) Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus <\/a><\/strong>and Liam Hemsworth<\/a><\/strong> both entered new romances after their split left fans shocked and watching The Last Song<\/em> with tubs of ice cream to recover.<\/p>\n

And 2019 proved to be the year that Bachelor Nation truly took over, with multiple contestants going on to date several mega-famous ladies after their time on Hannah Brown<\/a><\/strong>‘s season came to an end. Plus, a Property Brother snagged himself a New Girl and Lana Del Rey began dating a low-key reality star. (What is the opposite of “Summertime Sadness”?)<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But which of these surprising relationships actually made it through the end of the year, heading into 2020 looking stronger (and happier) than ever? Let’s take a look back at 2019’s unexpected celeb couples (otherwise known as Pete Davidson’s relationship rewind)…<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While learning that Zooey was splitting from husband<\/a> Jonathan Pechenik<\/strong>, who she shares two kids with, was definitely unexpected, the news that she was dating Property Brothers<\/em> star was even more so. And the adorkable couple hasn’t been shy about their relationship, posting Instagram photos, attending his brother J.D.’<\/strong>s wedding together and publicly professing their love<\/a> after meeting while filming Carpool Karaoke<\/em>.

Just days after announcing her split from husband of less than one year\/on-and-off beau for almost a decade<\/a> Liam Hemsworth<\/strong>, fans were surprised to see friends Miley and Kaitlynn, fresh off her own split from<\/a> husband Brody Jenner,<\/strong> canoodling on a girls’ trip. <\/p>\n

After two whirlwind months, the pair split<\/a>, with The Hills: New Beginnings<\/em> star later opening up about the unexpected romance in an essay<\/a> for Elle<\/em>, though she never mentioned Miley by name. <\/p>\n

“This past July, I went on vacation with a female friend; the next thing I knew, I was in love with her,” Carter wrote<\/a>. “Until that trip, it had never crossed my mind that I was even capable of loving a woman the way I loved her.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

After her breakup with Kaitlynn, Miley developed a close bond<\/a> with longtime friend Cody Simpson, an Australian singer whose previously wooed Gigi Hadid<\/strong> and Kylie Jenner<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The new couple weren’t shy about their relationship, engaging in a lot of PDA on social media, including going live on Instagram Stories (earning some backlash in the process), getting matching tattoos, Cody releasing a song<\/a> about Miley, and The Masked Singer winner being by her side during and after her recent tonsillectomy surgery<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Despite rumblings of a split, the two are still together, with Cody spending Thanksgiving in Tennessee and a source telling E! News, “Cody has been very supportive throughout her recovery and she is very happy with him. They are doing well together.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

While he’s not moving on quite as publicly as Miley, Liam has also entered a new relationship (and filed for divorce), as the Aussie is dating the Dynasty<\/em> star, a fellow Australian.<\/p>\n

“Both being Aussies, their love for the beach and the fact that they share careers has bonded them,” a source told People<\/em>, who were first spotted together in October. “They are a very cute couple.”<\/p>\n

Ironically enough,  when Maddison was on the Zach Sang Show<\/em> a few months ago, she was asked to play a round of “F, Marry, Kill” with Hugh Jackman, Margot Robie and both Liam <\/strong>and Chris Hemsworth<\/strong>, and she answered<\/a>, “I want both of the Hemsworths. I’m gonna kill Hugh Jackman, I’m gonna marry Margot Robbie, because I would like to f–k her for life, and then I will f–k the Hemsworth brothers, but at the same time, both of them.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
