Hollywood is always hopping with hot new couples. DesignerzCentral.com has rounded up the Hottest couples of 2014.
[contentblock id=1 img=adsense.png]13. Future and Ciara
Rapper Future and R&B singer Ciarra met in the recording studio of their shared label, Epic Records. Now they’re engaged. That’s not so unusual: A 2013 study from the University of Chicago found that 14 percent of married couples met on the job, which may not sound like much, but it was more common than meeting at school (7 percent), a bar (6 percent), or through friends (12 percent). Only online dating sites narrowly edged out the matchmaking potential of the office, at 16 percent.
Working with your wife even has some unexpected benefits. Researchers at the University of Minnesota found that women who work for the same company as their husband tend to earn more than women who work a separate job, and the men typically have jobs with higher prestige than those who work separately.
12. Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Jason Statham is sort of the everyman action hero—if every guy was fit enough to perform all his own stunts and date a Victoria’s Secret model. Statham has been a reader favorite since he first appeared on our cover in 2005, and he recently told us his secret to maintaining leading-man shape through his mid-40s: dining alone. “I don’t eat with people, because there’s a tendency to get social and then to overeat,” he says. (Hey, Jason: We’ll gladly take Rosie out to dinner.)
11. Shakira and Gerard Piqué
As a defender for powerhouse soccer teams F.C. Barcelona, Manchester United, and the Spanish national team, Gerard Pique has won two Champions League titles, four Spanish League titles, an English Premier League championship, and a World Cup since 2007. His most impressive feat, however, was landing the sexy Colombian singer Shakira.
Pique revealed one surprising key to his continued success to Men’s Health Spain: He and his teammates eat sushi after their games. “Our club doctors say that eating right after exercise helps you recover faster, and since we have games every two or three days, recovery is very important,” he says. It’s a smart choice. Just 1 ounce of raw tuna has 7 grams of protein and 363 milligrams of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, making a few of pieces of sashimi paired with some miso soup a fantastic low-carb meal.
10. Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn
Just when you think Tiger’s best days are behind him, he powers his way back on top. A little more than 4 years ago, the world’s highest-paid athlete crashed his Escalade after a spat with then-wife Elin Nordegren. Over the next few weeks, as it became clear that Woods had maintained either an embarrassing or impressive—depending on how you want to look at it—amount of extracurricular affairs, the golfer’s big-money corporate sponsors like General Motors, AT&T, and Gatorade cut ties. His performance on the green also suffered, then grew even worse, and his ranking plummeted to 58th place by August 2011.
Today, Woods is again the world’s top golfer. He’s dating 29-year-old skier Lindsey Vonn, who would have been arguably the hottest woman at the 2014 Winter Olympics if a knee injury she suffered last year hadn’t kept her out of the competition. And—it almost goes without saying—Woods is still the biggest earner in sports. Marital indiscretions aside, if Woods’ raw talent wasn’t an inspiration to you before, his comeback should give heart to any man who has faced career or personal setbacks.
9. Katy Perry and John Mayer
This pair of superstar musicians have both experienced their share of very public breakups. Katy Perry was married to English comedian Russell Brand for just 14 months, and she has said the split put her “in a dark place” for a some time. Meanwhile, John Mayer’s breakup with Taylor Swift is supposedly the subject of her song “Dear John,” and he hasn’t denied his tune “Paper Doll” is about Swift.
In reality, the cure for a broken heart could be as simple as taking Tylenol. A study at the University of Kentucky found that when people took a dose of the over-the-counter painkiller daily for 3 weeks, brain scans revealed less activity in areas associated with emotional pain when the study subjects were confronted with social rejection. What’s more, a Canadian study published last year found that taking Tylenol also helps reduce feelings of “existential dread.” That’s not to say you’ll suddenly stop missing your ex, but it might help prevent you from bottoming out.
8. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
The 23-year age gap between Johnny Depp, 50, and his fiancée Amber Heard is the kind of thing that you hardly notice when the conversation is about Hollywood, but would probably be a major topic of discussion if they were people you actually knew. Maybe it’s simply because older leading men are so often paired with young ingenues on-screen. And older guys’ appetite for youthful female beauty is hardly a secret. But an analysis of user messaging habits by dating site OkCupid found that some time in their late 20s—Heard, at 27, is almost right on target—women suddenly become open to the idea of dating much older men—often talking to guys who really are twice their age.
7. Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo
Megastar musicians are notorious more for adhering to a strict regimen of psychoactive pharmaceuticals than a disciplined exercise routine. But Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine recently let us marvel at his proficiency at all kinds of grueling yoga poses that he’s practiced for the past 5 years. The ambitious singer, who your grandmother knows best as a judge on NBC’s reality singing competition The Voice, says yoga actually taught him patience and restraint. Plus it helps keep his body in the kind of shape that appeals to women like his fiancée, 24-year-old Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo.

6. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher can play the long game. Following his high profile marriage to and divorce from actress Demi Moore, Kutcher is currently dating Mila Kunis, his former co-star on That ’70s Show—which premiered in 1998. Of course, you can’t go back in time and become friends with one of the hottest women in entertainment before she’s old enough to drive. But you might be able to benefit from Kutcher’s financial wisdom.
You know those cool Internet services you love like Spotify, Skype, Foursquare, and Airbnb? You have Ashton Kutcher to thank for all of them. The 35-year-old star of Two and a Half Men was an early investor in each of those companies. Although Kutcher won’t give specifics on how much he’s earned turning his paychecks from one of TV’s highest-rated sitcoms into venture capital, some financial sector observers think he made a killing off Skype’s $8.5 billion acquisition by Microsoft in 2011. How does he decide which of the myriad of Silicon Valley startups will prove a sound investment? By following his curiosity. “Things that work on the Internet do a little bit of a magic trick—where you go, ‘I don’t know how it did that, but I like it.’ That’s my obsession in life,” he told Men’s Health last year.
5. Charlize Theron and Sean Penn
Although Sean Penn and Charlize Theron have only recently started dating, one interest the Academy Award-winning actors clearly share is a serious involvement in third-world aid. In fact, the couple’s first public appearance was at Penn’s recent gala to raise money for Haitian earthquake victims, and Theron is a United Nations Messenger of Peace focusing on HIV prevention in Africa. And while the couple are as attractive as you’d expect from Hollywood A-listers, a British study published last year found that helping others makes you appear more physically attractive. When pictures of people were paired with descriptive statements like “volunteers at a homeless shelter,” both men and women rated the photos as significantly better-looking, particularly when asked to consider their potential as a long-term partner. More proof: The twice-divorced Penn reportedly said of Theron at his gala, “She’s a keeper.”
4. Robin Thicke and Paula Patton
Singer Robin Thicke has been with his wife Paula Patton for over 2 decades—Thicke was just 16 when he started dating the future star of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and Precious. In fact, the “good girl” in his bouncy, sexy breakout hit “Blurred Lines” is actually Patton, Thicke told a British radio program. While “Blurred Lines” is certainly a fun tune, would the song have exploded last summer without its aggressively hashtagged music video featuring Thicke surrounded by hot women? As it turns out, hanging out with platonic, good-looking ladies makes you appear more attractive to other women, according to a study at the University of California. (But we don’t suggest asking your female friends to take their tops off to help you meet women.)
3. Scarlett Johansson and Romain Dauriac
As magazine editors, we can’t help but feel proud for former ed Romain Dauriac getting hitched to a singular beauty like Scarlett Johansson. The Frenchman, who now runs a creative agency, reportedly met Johansson through a mutual tattoo artist. Despite the fact that Johansson is based out of Los Angeles and Dauriac lives in Paris, the pair made it work and got engaged less than a year after their first date. Maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised, since a recent Canadian study found that couples in a long-distance relationship were actually more satisfied than pairs who lived in close proximity, and also experienced both better communication and closer intimacy.
2. Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston
We were happy to see Jennifer Aniston get engaged to actor and writer Justin Theroux last year. It’s not just because they make a gorgeous Hollywood power couple—in addition to appearing in everything from American Psycho to Parks and Recreation, Theroux scripted Tropic Thunder and is reportedly working on Zoolander 2. For too long it seemed like the We’re the Millers star—and Hottest Woman of All Time—was known to the entertainment press mainly as the jilted wife that Brad Pitt left for Angelina Jolie. But Jen was hardly alone in taking extra time to find her second spouse. In fact, the number of divorced 25- to 34-year-olds who remarried dropped by 40 percent since 1990, according to a USA Today analysis of census data.
1. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have a big brood, including four adopted kids and a pair of twins that arrived in 2008. It’s easy to forget that eight is a huge family—less than 3 percent of American households have seven or more people, according to the most recent U.S. Census. But the twice-divorced Jolie and the once-divorced Pitt may be helping their kids maintain stable marriages as adults. A 2013 study from the American Socialogical Association reported that for every sibling a child has, their chances of divorcing a future spouse drop by 2 percent. The researchers believe that growing up with more siblings helps improve your social skills and ability to handle conflict.
