• 121. When Taylor Swift Met Joe Jonas

  Like many girls, Taylor Swift has an unlucky history with J names. We’ve covered her relationships with Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer, and Joe Alwyn. Today, we’re going back to 2008 to revisit her very first high-profile relationship with the original Joe, Mr. Perfectly Fine himself, Joe Jonas.This short relationship took on a life of its own after ending with the infamous 27 second phone call. Back then, Taylor was the least bit coy telling us about the juicy personal details in connection with her songs. Her openness arguably sparked the public’s parasocial obsession with connecting her music to the famous celebrity characters she would date for years to come. Was this an effective marketing strategy by Taylor, or an impulsive naivety that she would later regret?We look back at the Taylor & Joe playlist, featuring Camille Belle: Forever & Always, Much Better, Last Kiss, Better Than Revenge, and more. We reveal why we never really fucked with The Jonas Brothers and look inward as we contemplate some tricky questions. Is a phone call or text ever appropriate for a break-up? And, if someone wrongs you in a relationship, do you feel justified to trash talk or is it not worth your breath?Related Episodes:Episode 13: When Taylor Swift Met Jake GyllenhaalEpisode 18: When Taylor Swift Met John MayerEpisode 36: When Taylor Swift Met Joe Alwyn Episode 10: When Miley Cyrus Met Nick Jonas ***** About Significant LoversSignificant Lovers is a true-love podcast exploring celebrity couples and historic romances, hosted by cousins Kelly, Melissa, and Kaitlyn.

• 119. When Tom Holland Met Zendaya

  A note to our listeners: We are taking a little break from the podcast due to some current hardships in our family. We should be back by June 2025, and we will keep you updated on our Instagram (@significantlovers). Now on to the show... The year was 2016. A relatively unknown British actor named Tom Holland had just recently been cast (the year prior) as the newest Spider-Man. He made his first appearance in the film Captain America: Civil War, and his solo trilogy as the famous web-slinger had been officially green-lit. The world was abuzz with speculation as to who would play Tom’s on-screen love interest, MJ. Enter Zendaya Coleman (or just Zendaya, as she liked to be called), a Disney Channels star with a promising career in Hollywood ahead of her. Especially once she landed her first feature film role in the upcoming Spider-Man movie. From then on Tom and Zendaya were known to the public as co-stars. And then friends. And then someone more?…In this episode, we dive into the fascinating relationship between Tom Holland and Zendaya. From their iconic on-screen chemistry in Spider-Man to their real-life bond, we explore how their friendship eventually blossomed into the romantic relationship that everyone knows and loves today. But don’t you worry, their relationship may not have been as perfect as you may think. Ever heard of Jacob Elordi? You certainly will during this episode. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just curious about their connection, this episode has all the details you won’t want to miss!1.

• 117. When George Harrison Met Pattie Boyd (& Eric Clapton)

  We’ve covered John (and Yoko) and Paul (and Linda). It’s time to finally discuss “the Quiet Beatle”—George Harrison. When George Harrison first laid eyes on Pattie Boyd in 1964, there was an instant connection. It was on the set of the Beatles’ film ‘Hard Days Night,’ where Pattie played a schoolgirl with one line. Off set, Pattie was an ‘it girl’ model of the swinging ‘60s London, known for her iconic style. George asked her on a date, she ditched her current beau, and the two began a whirlwind romance. Later that same year, another character came into George’s life: the guitar legend Eric Clapton. The two bonded over their love of guitar and soon became best friends. As the years went by, and Pattie and George’s relationship struggled, Eric began falling in love with his best friend’s wife. Known as one of the strangest, wildest love triangles in rock and roll, hear the story of George, Pattie, and Eric. Next week we’ll continue with Eric’s side of the story… ***** About Significant LoversSignificant Lovers is a true-love podcast exploring celebrity couples and historic romances.
