Surprising times when celebrities became their partner’s fiercest defenders

Love in Hollywood isn't just about red carpets and glamour—it's about loyalty, too.

From fiery clapbacks to public defenses, some celebs have shown they're ready to stand up for their partners when criticism comes their way. 

Here are a few memorable moments:

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Kim supported her then- husband Kanye West when his long-running feud with Taylor Swift reached new heights.

Kanye released a song titled Famous, in which he took credit for the pop star’s success.

Taylor claimed she didn't know about the song before its release.

Kim stepped in, saying the Lover singer did know, and even released a phone call between Taylor and Kanye as proof.

“I just felt like I wanted to defend him in it because it's like, she legitimately quote says, 'As soon as I get on that Grammy red carpet I'm gonna tell all the press. Like I was in on it,'" Kim revealed on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

The American model is known for her fiery clapbacks.

One prime example came during Donald Trump's inauguration, when Chrissy posted a gutsy tweet and a troll on X(formerly Twitter) claimed her husband, John Legend, was uneducated and had no talent.

Chrissy fired back, “John went to the same University as the Donald, silly billy. Only difference was John went at the young age of 16."

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes

In 2015, while promoting her makeup line, Eva joked about divorce in a room full of women.

"You can't do sweatpants. Ladies, number one cause of divorce in America, sweatpants, no!” she said.

This remark sparked buzz, so Ryan took to X to defend his wife.

"Obviously sweatpants thing was a joke," Ryan wrote. "Wearing them now. That's right, tweeting in sweatpants. Rats! Said too much! You win again Twitter,” he stated.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

After Brad and Jennifer Aniston ended their marriage, many blamed Angelina for the split.

Later, the F1 actor defended her in an interview, clarifying they hadn’t had an affair.

“What people don't understand is that we filmed [Mr. & Mrs. Smith] for a year," Brad said.

He added, “We were still filming after Jen and I split up. Even then it doesn't mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn't.”

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard

In 2017, Dax’s movie CHiPs, which he wrote, directed, and starred in alongside Kristen, received backlash for jokes about homophobia that some found offensive.

Kristen quickly defended him in an interview with the Associated Press.

"If you really look at it and you hear Dax's arguments about why he wrote it... He's a feminist, for sure. He's also about the most un-homophobic person you could ever find!” she said.
