Teeth, blood, breath—A peek at the wildest celebrity love tokens

Love languages have evolved, clearly. We have moved from mixtapes to shared passwords, from framed photos to soft launches on Instagram. And then there are celebrity couples, who operate on a completely different emotional frequency. When Nicola Peltz flaunted Brooklyn Beckham’s wisdom tooth as a necklace, the internet did a collective double-take. Sweet? Unsettling? Both? No comments.

The moment quickly went viral, and not just because it was unexpected. It reminded us that famous couples have long had a flair for preserving love in the strangest possible ways. Hair, blood, breath, teeth. Nothing is off-limits when romance meets excess (and a very flexible idea of keepsakes!). From gothic royalty to modern-day Hollywood chaos, here’s a look at the weirdest love souvenirs celebrities have ever held on to.

Nicola Peltz’s wisdom tooth necklace

This is the keepsake currently living rent-free in everyone’s head. Peltz revealed that she turned Brooklyn Beckham’s extracted wisdom tooth into a necklace, proving that even dental surgery can be romantic if you are committed enough! The gesture feels oddly intimate, deeply private, and just a little... alarming.

In a world of matching tattoos and engraved jewellery, this one clearly stands out. Love, but make it slightly feral.

Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton 'bloody' lockets

Before “chaotic celebrity couples” was a well-worn phrase, there was Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton. At the height of their relationship in the early 2000s, the two famously wore necklaces containing each other’s blood.

At the time, it felt scandalous and theatrical, and Thornton later clarified that the lockets did not contain vials but only "droplets" of each other's blood. It was definitely dramatic, intense, and designed to make headlines. Not a keepsake for the faint-hearted, but undeniably iconic.

Angelina Jolie and a jar of Brad Pitt’s breath

Jolie appears more than once on this list, which is, honestly, freaky. During her relationship with Brad Pitt, she once claimed he sent her a jar containing his breath while they were apart. Scientifically questionable, emotionally earnest.

Was it symbolic? Was it a joke? Was it love at its most absurd? Probably all three. And we must also tell you that after their separation, the jar was auctioned on eBay for approximately Rs 50,000!

Queen Victoria wearing Prince Albert’s hair

Long before celebrity culture as we know it, Queen Victoria set the standard for sentimental devotion. She famously wore jewellery containing locks of Prince Albert’s hair, especially after his death.

For Victorian-era royalty, hair jewellery was common, but Victoria’s attachment was especially intense. She mourned Albert publicly and privately for decades, using these keepsakes as a way to keep him close.

Megan Fox drinking Machine Gun Kelly’s blood

If there were an award for modern gothic romance, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly would win it without competition! Fox revealed that she drinks a few drops of MGK’s blood for "ritual purposes", a sentence that still feels unreal to type.

The confession instantly became internet folklore. To them, it was symbolic and spiritual. To everyone else, it was peak celebrity chaos, and calling it just weird would be an understatement. But in their world, it was an expression of intimacy and trust, just taken to an extreme.
