Pamela and Liam, Katy and Justin, Ana and Tom or the Coldplay duo. Which summer fling are you?

The Observer

As celebrities use the summer break to unveil new relationships, take Barbara Ellen's quiz to find out which couple you most resemble

Summer 2025 has evolved into shock-couple season. Actors Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have been smooching during promotional duties for their film comedy, a reboot of The Naked Gun.

Former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and pop star Katy Perry snatched an intimate dinner in Montreal. Actors Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas, due to appear together in the film Deeper, have been attending concerts and hanging out in Vermont.

Then there's Coldplay couple - names sensitively withheld, but you know who they are: a tech chief executive and his HR director caught together in a workplace affair on kiss cam at a concert in Boston, with all roads leading to divorce, firings and ruin.

As famous as these examples are, it's all so relatable, but for different reasons. Take our multiple-choice quiz to discover which shock-couple summer fling you are...

The rumours have been swirling like gossip-item tickertape, but now it's gone public. What outed you?

A: Flirting up a heady midlife storm on the red carpet for the premiere of The Naked Gun.

B: Photographed having dinner at Le Violon, one of Montreal's finest restaurants. Eyewitness reports of cocktails, lobster, and - be still our beating hearts - "meeting the staff to acknowledge their services".

C: In a multi-tier celebrity shambles that not even the most desperate and damaged PR brain could conjure, you're randomly captured bopping together in the background of a camera-phone video that drum'n'bass artist Goldie films at an Oasis concert. See also: helicopter-ferrying mini-breaks to Vermont.

D: Just seeing a band, man, just seeing a band.

You're together. It's obvious. How do you deny it?

A: You don't. Kisses have been planted; hands clutched. You're all over each other like a bad case of teenage pimples.
