Social media users my have seen a few post throughout the year, mentioning things that were not on their 2022 bingo card.
For instance, new couples coming together like reality star and public figure Kim Kardshian and comedian and actor Pete Davidson. There were other surprises like the laundry list of divorces announced this year like long-time Hollywood couple Tia and Cory Hardrict.
