20 celebrity couples nobody believed in (and turned out to be PER FEC TAS)
From Cristiano and Georgina to Nicole and Keith: when appearances can be deceiving and love wins.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Georgina RodrÃguez and Cristiano Ronaldo
Why didn't anyone believe in them? The world was used to seeing Ronaldo with supermodels and women who are fairly well known and used to flashes. This unknown luxury boutique shop assistant, with such a 'normal' background, could not be the woman who would make someone who is so famous as a womanizer settle down.
What the dudometer showed: a 9, how could two such disparate people last so long together?
How long have they been together: when they have not yet completed their 2 years of relationship, they are about to be parents and everything indicates that they are engaged. Furthermore, Georgina is fully integrated into the Aveiro family. The popular dudometer has never been so wrong.

Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper

What the dudometer showed: an 8, more because of his fame as a womanizer than anything else.
How long have they been together: They have been together since the beginning of 2015 and in May they became parents to their first daughter, Lea de Seine. Irina wears a ring on her left ring finger since she was pregnant. Anything else to add?
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhard

Sam Taylor-Johnson and Aaron Johnson
Why didn't anyone believe in them? Because we live in a very backward society that does not trust that a couple made up of a man 20 years older than the woman can come to fruition. And, above all, that he does not believe that a young man can fall madly in love with an older woman.

How long have they been together: 11 years, 7 of them married, and they have 2 children together.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux

What the dudometer marked: a 7, surely it does not go beyond the ephemeral romance.

Hillary and Bill Clinton
Why didn't anyone believe in them? The Lewinsky scandal, when they were still the presidential marriage, looked like it was going to end this couple. Never has such a public and notorious infidelity been seen.
What the dudometer showed: a 14, how could Hillary endure such humiliation?

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones

What the dudometer showed: a 14, being able to choose anyone, why stay only with one?
