There are plenty of pairings that just make sense: peanut butter and jelly; flip-flops and the beach; bright red lipstick and that little black dress, to name a few. That’s not to say that unexpected matches don’t make their mark: bacon and chocolate (seriously); navy and black; cowboy boots in the summertime. This idea holds true for relationships, too. Sometimes, a couple just seems right, and other times, it takes a bit more convincing to understand why they’re a good fit.
If nothing else, the celebrity couples below prove that love can pop up in the most unexpected places and that opposites do attract. As for bacon and chocolate, the jury is still out.

When it comes to celebrity couples, everyone wants to know which ones are hot and which ones simply don’t make the cut. Zimbio came up with a list of their 100 Hottest Celebrity Couples. Celebs were rated on their levels of success, attractiveness, popularity and staying power. The total of the scores in the four categories determined each couple’s rank on the list.

Why do some celebrity couples end up as a train wreck, while others seem to withstand the test of time? Different strategies work for different power couples.

Seal definitely had a lot of fun making the music video for his new single “Secret,” where he and supermodel wife Heidi Klum don their birthday suits — in bed! The single, off Seal’s new album Seal 6: Commitment, is about he and his wife’s relationship. “The song, the movie, it’s the story of our love,” said the 47-year-old singer. Klum, 37, told Us Weekly, “I feel so lucky to have found my husband especially at the time when I did.” The pair married in 2005 and have three children together, ages 5, 3 and 1. Klum also talked about what the song means to her. “It’s the story of two people in love. My husband is what I always wanted and never thought I would have.”
