All the New Celebrity Romances That Were on Our Radar This Year

Last year, we tracked the budding relationships of several celebrities that were coupling up and showing PDA around the world. Many of the flings fizzled, but other pairs — like Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long, Amy Poehler and Nick Kroll, and Jake Gyllenhaal and Alyssa Miller — are still going strong. Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy's Summer love resulted in a wedding, and Zoe Saldana is expecting twins with her Spring fling (and now-husband), Marco Perego!

Cut to 2014, and there were plenty more new couples going public with their love. Khloé Kardashian found — then lost — a new boyfriend in rapper French Montana, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt is currently getting cozy with Tasha McCauley, the cofounder and CEO of a robotics company based in Silicon Valley. There's also Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara, who have been spotted all over each other from coast to coast, and Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin, who kept their A-list love under wraps before splitting up. Scroll through to see how these celebrity couples have held up this year, and vote for your favorite new duo of 2014!

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed

Established: July

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed were spotted getting quite cozy during a farmers market trip together in mid-July. Ian was all over Nikki as she checked out produce, slinging his arm around her shoulder and planting kisses on her head. The following month, they packed on the PDA backstage at the Teen Choice Awards.

These two have a history of hooking up within the same Hollywood circle; Ian dated Nikki's Twilight costar Ashley Greene briefly back in 2009, and Nikki's close friend, Nina Dobrev, called it quits with Ian in May 2013 after a three-year relationship. If that wasn't weird enough, Nina and Nikki were both linked to Dancing With the Stars hunk Derek Hough after their respective breakups (Nikki announced her split from husband Paul McDonald in March). Despite their close-knit friend group, Nikki and Ian seem to be going the distance — Ian shared an adorable photo of him and Nikki with two of their dogs with a heartfelt caption, writing, "A day with 3 of the most beautiful ladies in the universe."

Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara reportedly hooked up over the Fourth of July weekend after meeting for the first time at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in May; at the time, Sofia was engaged to longtime boyfriend Nick Loeb — they ended their relationship in May — and Joe was newly single after splitting from Bridget Peters back in March. These two were arguably the sexiest couple of the Summer, and they wrapped up the season with a romantic trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, over the Labor Day weekend. Most recently, Sofia joined Joe on the set of Magic Mike: XXL in Georgia, and the two were spotted on a double date with Joe's costar Channing Tatum and his wife, Jenna Dewan.

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin

Established: June Split: October

Jaws dropped in early August when rumors of a relationship between Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin first made the rounds. Multiple sources reported that the couple had been cozying up since June, not long after Jennifer called it quits with her ex, Nicholas Hoult. Meanwhile, the Coldplay frontman and his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, famously announced their "conscious uncoupling" back in March.

While dating, Jennifer took in Chris's concerts — including his performance at the iHeartRadio Festival — and the couple was spotted boarding a private jet together in LA. Sadly, the music died for this couple, as they parted ways in late October. We can't wait to see which lucky guy lands Jennifer next!

Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez

Established: July Split: August

Michelle Rodriguez and Zac Efron's budding relationship definitely took us by surprise: the duo went on vacation with a group of friends in Italy and logged lots of time together on the beach. During the Fourth of July weekend, they shocked everyone when they were photographed kissing and cuddling on a giant yacht in Sardinia. Michelle was most recently linked to model Cara Delevingne and Zac was reportedly dating his Neighbors costar Halston Sage in April. Sadly, the couple's Summer romance came to an end in August after they reportedly got into a fight while in Ibiza, Spain. A source told Us Weekly that "Michelle is going to do her own thing," adding, "Zac knew this about her when he got with her. He's very into her though, and perhaps more than she's into him."

After their gym date, they both attended an A-list book party with Nicole, Joel Madden, and Gwyneth Paltrow. If their sweet PDA-filled stroll in June wasn't confirmation enough, Cameron and Benji took their love to the next level when they were spotted getting cozy on the beach in Miami over the Fourth of July weekend. As of October, Benji and Cameron's relationship was so strong that sources have reported they're planning to get engaged.

Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs

Established: August

Since they began dating in late Summer, Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs have taken their love all over the globe, popping up in LA; Paris; Brussels, Belgium; NYC; and most recently, Miami. While their relationship hasn't been without controversy — the British singer was the target of online bullying, receiving racist messages via Twitter — it's been hard to ignore how smiley and happy Robert seems with his new lady, and their aww-inducing PDA has made us pretty thrilled, too. As their romance seems to be going strong, we can hopefully look forward to many more outings (and maybe even a red carpet debut!) for these two in the coming year.

Established: April

Lea Michele and Matthew Paetz struck up a romance after meeting on the set of her "On My Way" music video back in April. As rumors of a relationship between the two spread in July, reports about Matthew's alleged past as a male escort emerged. Since then, the couple has been spotted around LA on hikes and daytime outings, and they even took a PDA-filled trip to Italy together over the Summer. Most recently, Lea confirmed their status on Instagram when she shared a photo of their shadows holding hands with the caption, "To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."

Khloé Kardashian and French Montana

Established: April Split: September

Khloé Kardashian and NYC-based rapper French Montana were spotted on multiple nights out together in early April. Rumors of a romance between the two gained steam when Khloé shared Instagram photos while taking a private jet to Phoenix, AZ, to attend one of French's performances. Since then, they were pretty much inseparable; not only did French throw Khloé a lavish 30th birthday party on a boat in NYC, but he also bought her a brand-new Jeep for the milestone and accompanied her to a celebration in Las Vegas over the Fourth of July weekend. Alas, the relationship didn't last; Khloé and French split in September and a source confirmed to E! that Khloé grew weary of his "needy, obsessive" behavior, adding, "It just wasn't working out."

Just a couple of weeks after her split from actor Joel Kinnaman, Olivia Munn reportedly moved on to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two were together at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas in April and were spotted "stealing kisses" during a night out in Malibu weeks later. In early June, we spotted them stealing some kisses on the set of Olivia's show The Newsroom, and Aaron accompanied her to the screening of her latest film, Deliver Us From Evil, later that month. As of late September, the two were still going strong, so much so that Packers fans had taken to blaming Olivia whenever Aaron makes a bad play on the field.

In October, Sean and Ariana shared a smooch while on Universal Studios Hollywood's Revenge of the Mummy ride and Ariana confirmed that they were an item, telling Ryan Seacrest during an interview, "I guess [we're dating]."

"He is the sweetest guy ever, and they are very much enjoying getting to know one another. They are both very happy and having fun."
