On International Friendship Day, discover the unexpected celebrity pairs who have proven that friends can be found anywhere.&nbsp;

Bestie, whether you want to admit it or not, we&rsquo;re all guilty of secretly obsessing over celebrity friendships. From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/taylor-swift-joins-david-o-russell-new-period-film" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift</a> including the names of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds&rsquo;s children in several songs on <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/taylor-swift-folklore-the-long-pond-studio-sessions-disney-plus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">F</a><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/taylor-swift-folklore-the-long-pond-studio-sessions-disney-plus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">olklore</a>&nbsp;to Matt Damon and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-hanging-out-again-montana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Affleck</a> being best buds since high school, it&rsquo;s hard to not be jealous of these relationships. However, there are tons of celebrity friendships that we might not even be aware of that are just as adorable. Here, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL rounds up a list of the most surprising celebrity friendships in honor of National Best Friend Day.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/and-best-pop-vocal-goes-to-ed-sheeran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ed Sheeran</a> has many celebrity friendships&mdash;and with his charisma, kindness, and talent, we don't doubt why. Among some of his more unexpected friendships is his relationship with Courteney Cox. For the HBO Max special <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/friends-reunion-trailer-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friends: The Reunion</a>, the pair recreated Monica and Ross Geller&rsquo;s old choreographed dance routine from a childhood contest in the original show.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyonc&eacute;, and Jay-Z

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kate-moss-and-gwyneth-paltrow-holistic-detox" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paltrow</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/beyonce-jay-z-net-worth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyonc&eacute;</a> met back in 2006 at a charity event in New York City and their friendship has been history ever since. They&rsquo;ve had their ups and downs, especially with the speculation that Paltrow could have been &ldquo;Becky with the good hair,&rdquo; the woman Beyonc&eacute; referenced as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/jack-dorsey-square-jay-z-streaming-platform-tidal-acquisition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jay-Z</a>'s mistress in her 2016 song &ldquo;Sorry," but we&rsquo;d like to think they&rsquo;re still close&mdash;apparently Paltrow&rsquo;s kids call Jay-Z &ldquo;Uncle Jay.&rdquo;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/elton-john-greatest-hits-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elton John</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/beyonce-joins-eminem-on-walk-on-water" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eminem</a> have had a long friendship, beginning at the 2002 Grammys, where they performed a duet together. Since then, they have been there for each other through thick and thin&mdash;including when Eminem was going through treatment for drug addiction&mdash;and John would call him every day during his early days of recovery.

When working on the 2015 film Home together, Parsons and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rihanna-whale-tail-miniskirt-trend-summer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> quickly became close. Parsons was seen on several talk shows to promote the movie, saying Rihanna is the &ldquo;best listener&rdquo; on The Talk and again gushing over her on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. With her background in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/savage-x-fenty-show-rihanna-lizzo-normani" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beauty</a> and music and his portrayal of a nerdy genius on The Big Bang Theory, we love how these two prove that opposites attract.

This pair first met at a Lakers-Knicks game in Madison Square Garden in 2014 and have attended games together since. Apparently, 50 Cent was starstruck by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/where-celebrities-went-to-college-meryl-streep-natalie-portman-oprah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Streep</a>, admitting on The Rachael Ray Show that sitting with her made him feel &ldquo;normal again&rdquo; in 2016.

Meeting at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/jennifer-lawrence-dior-new-perfume" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JLaw&rsquo;s</a> 25th birthday celebration, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/khloe-kardashian-kris-jenner-launch-mothers-day-collection-bulgari" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenner</a> has quickly become close with the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/best-book-to-movie-adaptations-2010s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunger Games</a> actress over the years. At the party, Jenner came as a surprise invite and presented Lawrence her cake. Now, Jenner considers her family, as she called Lawrence her &ldquo;favorite daughter&rdquo; on her Instagram story last year.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/martha-stewart-autobiography" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stewart</a> met <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrities-on-the-crypto-art-craze" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Snoop Dogg</a> back in 2008 when he made a guest appearance on The Martha Stewart Show. He reappeared on the show a year later and they have now partnered for several projects, from hosting their 2016 VH1 show Martha &amp; Snoop&rsquo;s Potluck Dinner Party&nbsp;to hosting the 2021 Puppy Bowl together.

Travolta and Pitbull are so close that the famed actor shaved his head because of Mr. Worldwide. According to an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2019, Travolta revealed that the Latinx singer inspired him to go bald. Travolta also guest-starred in Pitbull&rsquo;s music video for &ldquo;3 to Tango&rdquo; in 2019.

Kim Kardashian and Serena Williams

Believe it or not, these stars met in 2002 when <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-divorce-keeping-up-with-the-kardashians-finale" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kardashian</a> was working for the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/off-white-collaboration-serena-williams-nike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tennis champion</a>. Before Kardashian was famous, she would organize and clean out different celebrities&rsquo; closets. While their relationship was professional at first, they quickly became inseparable friends.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/prince-harry-meghan-markle-daughter-lilibet-diana-royal-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Markle</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/nick-jonas-priyanka-chopra-relationship-timeline-wedding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chopra</a> met at the Elle Women in Television dinner in Los Angeles in 2017 and have been girlfriends ever since. Bonding over their humanitarian work, the two have a lot in common and, apparently, Markle has inspired Chopra to consider getting involved in politics.

Longtime besties <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/blake-lively-postpartum-body-clothes-struggle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lively</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/florence-look-vintage-style-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Welch</a>, of Florence and the Machine, have been through it all together. The actress attended all of Welch&rsquo;s U.S. shows when they were on tour in 2011 and she even hooked her up with a guest spot on <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/gossip-girl-reboot-hbo-max" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gossip Girl</a>. Even cuter, Welch sang at Lively&rsquo;s wedding to Ryan Reynolds in 2012.

The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/friends-best-fashion-moments-trends-rachel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friends</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/game-of-thrones-prequel-house-of-the-dragon-hbo-first-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Game of Thrones</a> stars were always fans of each other, as seen in their 2016 guest appearance on The Graham Norton Show together. The most memorable moment on the show was when Clarke asked if LeBlanc would &ldquo;ask her how she&rsquo;s doing,&rdquo; requesting a real-life Friends reference. We would definitely do the same in her position.

These Harvard grads-turned-actresses have been the best of friends for years now. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rashida-jones-maison-kitsune-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jones</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/natalie-portman-miss-dior-perfume" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Portman</a> have partnered on a lot of great projects together, from becoming co-chairs of the LA Dance Project Gala in 2017 to collaborating on several Funny or Die videos.
