Summer lovin’, happened so fast. Or in the case of these couples: summer lovin’, happened slowly and carefully, away from the prying eyes of the public, maybe even with an NDA sprinkled in there for good measure
That’s right! As the mercury rises, new celebrity couples are cropping up left, right and centre. Or on Centre Court, as was the case for actors Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro, who debuted their relationship at Wimbledon this month.
Other celebrity relationships have had the luxury of such a chic and well-curated hard launch: one couple was papped kissing on a balcony, revealing their relationship to the masses, and another became common knowledge when they released the news of their pregnancy. Eek!
Here are some of the hottest celebrity couples shacking up for summer 2025.
Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff

After her well-publicised lean towards queerness (“I could eat that girl for lunch, yeah she dances on my tongue,” etc) during the release of her third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, Billie Eilish shocked fans when she was papped kissing… a man! Not just any man, but long-term bestie Nat Wolff, whom she’s known since 2023.
Wolff, 30, is best known as the star of The Naked Brothers Band, Stuck in Love and the film adaptation of John Green’s Paper Towns.
The 23-year-old singer was caught kissing Wolff on a balcony in Venice while on holiday together. Days later, they were also seen acting couple-y on a boat around the canals. Perhaps we should have noticed the clues: Wolff had recently appeared in Eilish’s music video for Chihiro, back in June 2024. Cute!
Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams
Yes, we’ve known about this since 2024, when the pair were first papped walking around central London together (which included that picture of Abrams… biting Paul’s hand?), but a lot has happened since.
There were breakup rumours and a reported fight in Jolene, leaving many to believe they had parted ways.
But the naysayers were wrong! The pair confirmed their coupledom shortly after Glastonbury 2025, when Abrams, 25, posted a photo dump which included selfies on her and Mescal, 29, lying on a bed together. An Instagram hard launch in the truest sense.
Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro
Following a year of reports that Andrew Garfield was dating “professional witch” Kate Tomas, their relationship appeared to come to an abrupt end around October. Then, in January, the 41-year-old actor was linked with up-and-coming star Monica Barbaro, 35, who was on the awards circuit for her performance in A Complete Unknown, alongside Timothée Chalamet.
They were first photographed at a W Magazine party on January 4, then later spotted leaving the Oscars together. Their relationship was confirmed by a cute video of Garfield hanging around Barbaro’s hotel for her to come back from the Met Gala, and they were later spotted on holiday in Japan together. For their hard launch, they attended Wimbledon in matching white Ralph Lauren looks.
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt
For many people, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt’s status as a couple was confirmed by their pregnancy announcement on July 16. And can you blame us? Keeping up with the revolving door of Davidson’s love life is a full-time job, for which none of us are paid. We should unionise.
“Welp now everyone knows we had sex,” 29-year-old Hewitt wrote alongside an Instagram carousel, which included a sonogram and several cute snaps of her and Davidson, 31.
Davidson, best known for his roles in the King of Staten Island and as the ex of Ariana Grande, and Hewitt, a London-born model, have been publicly dating since March 2025. Their relationship follows Davidson’s breakup from Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline in July 2024, which, to be fair, is a pretty long grace period for Pete.
In April, they were photographed attending a Nicks game together (an American celebrity couple rite of passage) and then boom! Pregnant!
