2017 Is Looking Much Better Thanks to These New (and Rekindled) Celebrity Couples

Last year was a disastrous year for love in Hollywood, but luckily, 2017 looked a lot better thanks to a select number of celebrity couples who have decided to give love a shot. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have not been shy about flaunting their rekindled romance ever since they got back together in January, while Lady Gaga and fiancé Christian Carino have been keeping a low profile. Shay Mitchell and Amy Poehler, on the other hand, both have yet to publicly step out with their new boyfriends, but we're holding out hope that they do so soon.
