Random Unexpected TV Couples No One Predicted (16 items)

• 

  (#15) Spencer Hastings

  • Pretty Little Liars

  Pretty Little Liars debuts a hot new couple in Season 6. Spencer and Caleb go from acquaintances to friends to a little bit more. It seems like a natural progression, although a bit rushed. But given the fact that Caleb is Hanna’s ex-boyfriend and half of the beloved Haleb ship, it also feels like a surprising turn.

  The couple eventually breaks up in Season 7, causing Haleb fans to cheer.

  (#5) Camille Saroyan

  • bones

  While Bones occasionally gives fans a glimpse into Cam’s romantic life, it never really commits to the idea of having her in a serious relationship – until Season 8. That's when viewers unexpectedly find out she’s dating Arastoo Vaziri, one of Brennan's squinterns.

  The relationship is surprising because it has basically no build-up. Also, it seems out of character for Cam to date someone who works for her. But love conquers all. Although these two have their fair share of hardship, they get their happily ever after.

  (#4) Barney Stinson

  • How I Met Your Mother

  OK, so maybe you saw this coming, but probably not from episode 1. Barney's a player who seems unlikely to settle down, and Robin is all over Ted for a hot minute. It seems insane that these two could ever go beyond just hooking up and actually commit to each other. But commit they do – for a while. Too bad the writers really mess up the final season.

  (#10) Peggy Olson

  • Mad Men

  While Mad Men mostly focuses on Don Draper’s relationships, Peggy goes through her fair share of romantic entanglements during the show’s run as well. But who could have predicted that her work husband Stan would turn out to be her soulmate?

  The creator of the show sure didn't, so don’t be too hard on yourself. While some argue that these two have been meant for each other from early days, other are still scratching their heads about how this happened. Whatever the case, we’re happy it did.

  (#9) Clarke Walters

  • The 100

  During the first seasons of the show, viewers likely expect Clarke and Bellamy to become a thing. When she has to team up with Lexa, it looks like the two will have to work hard to overcome their differences.

  But who would have thought these two would actually get together? They share a passionate kiss before Lexa’s betrayal, then eventually reunite and stay together right until Lexa’s tragic (and controversial) end.
• 

  (#8) Rick Grimes

  • The Walking Dead

  All these seasons in, The Walking Dead still finds ways to surprise its audience. And while that often involves some sort of gruesome death, in Season 6 it's romance that gets everyone talking.

  Turns out, not even the Zombie Apocalypse can keep people apart. Rick and Michonne have chemistry from the moment they meet, but their relationship is a massive departure from the comics. And an inspired one, you could argue.
