7 Celebrity Couples Who Prove You Don’t Need Romance to Form a Strong Bond

In the world of entertainment, rumors often spread about co-stars being romantically linked due to the intense chemistry they display while on camera. But just because two individuals of the opposite sex are like two peas in a pod, it doesn’t mean they automatically view each other as marriage material. In fact, they would rather forget the drama that often comes with being an item and instead cherish their friendship without worrying about the prospect of a messy breakup. 

Although we are all for celebrities who walk down the aisle and enjoy a stable, long-term marriage and a bunch of kids, we believe famous folks who share a strong bond without romance deserve some respect too. With that in mind, here are seven of Hollywood’s most endearing platonic relationships.

1. Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves

Rumors about Theron and Reeves having a thing for each other began when they co-starred in the 2001 romantic drama Sweet November. Although they have never confirmed or denied anything, Charlize has been known to tweet some pretty warm and fuzzy things about Neo, including on his birthday in 2020. However, Reeves has been dating visual artist Alexandra Grant for several years, putting to bed once and for all that Theron and Reeves are bed buddies.
