Almost 70% of romantic relationships begin as friendships, according to new research. This type of relationship is more likely to be the rule than the exception, and it is definitely the best way to start a romance with your crush. That’s why, when a celebrity becomes friends with another, it is only a matter of time before rumors start to spread about a “thing” happening between them.
