10 Celebrity Couples Whose Parents Firmly Opposed Their Romance

If you believe that meeting the parents is a dilemma only faced by ordinary individuals, you’re sorely mistaken.

Numerous renowned couples, many of whom have since parted ways (further validating that oftentimes parents are right), have encountered staunch criticism from their families. Regardless of the resistance, these celebrities endeavored to cultivate their relationships and defend their love, only to face failure.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

It seems Selena’s mother, hardly a “Belieber”, had foresight when she voiced her dissent over her daughter’s liaison with the pop star. Mandy Teefey remains wary of Justin (and with good reason). In December 2017, the songstress’s mother even found herself hospitalized following a heated altercation with Selena Gomez, primarily centered on her involvement with Bieber. Though it wasn’t the sole cause, it seemingly was the tipping point. It appears maternal advice should sometimes be heeded. She was right, after all.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth

In this instance, the voice of reason was the singer’s father, Billy Ray Cyrus. Miley’s fiancé Liam Hemsworth, whom she met in 2009 during the filming of “The Last Song”, didn’t garner his trust. He felt the relationship advanced “too far, too fast”, as stated by zoomboola.com. 

It appears Miley concurred with her father’s sentiments as the pair did separate for several years. However, in 2015 they rekindled their romance, after which Billy Ray began speaking more warmly about their relationship. Unfortunately, Billy, your initial intuition didn’t fail you. As it turns out, Liam wasn’t the best match for your daughter.

Kylie Jenner and Tyga

Few held any illusions about the longevity of this relationship, yet Kylie’s parents didn’t hesitate to voice their disapproval. Their daughter’s choice, to put it mildly, didn’t elicit any enthusiasm. Incidentally, the broader Kardashian-Jenner clan also harbored negative sentiments towards him, making it unsurprising that their eventual parting seemed inevitable. Especially in light of rumors surrounding his infidelities.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively

You might not have known, but yes, Leo dated the now-wife of Ryan Reynolds. However, their bliss was short-lived, marking the first instance where a lady didn’t sit well with DiCaprio’s kin.

The catalyst for their split was Leonardo’s mother expressing her dissatisfaction with his relationship with Blake. Ultimately, the actor, like an obedient son, heeded the opinion of the primary woman in his life, ended things with the actress, and jetted off to Italy with his mother. Alas, Leo, such a beauty you let slip!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

The superstar duo of Angie and Brad also encountered familial disapproval. Given the backdrop of their inception, this wasn’t wholly unexpected. Recall, at that juncture, the actor was still wedded to Jennifer Aniston. Pertinently, Brad’s mother wasn’t particularly enamored with Angelina, a sentiment that seemed reciprocated. 

On the flip side, harmonious in-law relations are a rarity. Regardless, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie successfully navigated a relationship spanning a decade. Regrettably, they parted ways in 2016.

Kendall Jenner and A$AP Rocky

Kendall Jenner’s mother was less than thrilled about her daughter’s breakup with Harry Styles, especially when he was replaced by rapper A$AP Rocky. Fortunately for her, this relationship didn’t last long. And, for fans of the Rihanna-A$AP Rocky pairing, had he not separated from Kendall, the duo might not have become parents to two adorable children.

Patrick Schwarzenegger and Miley Cyrus

When Miley dated Patrick Schwarzenegger, she wasn’t a hit with his family, specifically his mother, Maria Shriver. Miley was likely relieved when, in 2015 after five months, her tumultuous relationship with both her boyfriend and his mother came to an end.

Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson

Indeed, Michael Jackson was prodigiously talented. However, this did not negate the fact that many found it hard to understand him. His eccentricities led to personal life challenges. Lisa Marie Presley’s mother was far from ecstatic when her daughter introduced the pop star as her partner. Furthermore, she never quite warmed up to the marriage, which spanned from 1994 to 1996. Yet, love is unpredictable.

Rihanna and Chris Brown

Chris Brown and Rihanna dated from 2007 to 2009, with their split marred by a high-profile scandal. Amidst a heated argument, the rapper assaulted the singer, leaving visible injuries on her face. Rihanna needed medical attention. Brown didn’t deny his wrongdoing and even admitted to it. Intriguingly, initially opposed to their relationship were… his parents. They felt Chris deserved better, while Rihanna’s father had hopes of them marrying. It’s fortunate that it never transpired.

Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs

Robert Pattinson and singer FKA Twigs (real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett) made a stunning pair. But some disagreed vehemently, namely the actor’s parents. They found her delightful but not “the one” for their son. As you might know, Robert and Tahliah eventually decided to part ways (initiated by Pattinson). It seems the decision was apt, as the actor is now happily paired with Suki Waterhouse. Apparently, she completely won over his family.
