Back in February, the football star announced his retirement from the league, which prompted widespread upset. Plus, more recently, Tom’s divorce from supermodel Gisele Bundchen has landed him in the news yet again. These developments, coupled with his always-buzzing fanbase, scored him 4.06 million Google searches per month.
Finally, another shocking and gossip-worthy couple rounded out the fifth and sixth-place spots. Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson actually started dating back in October 2021, but the pair that no one expected continued to fascinate the public well into this year.
All of the questions surrounding their relationship kept both celebs in the forefront of the public mind– earning Kim 3.47 million Google searches each month and Pete a total of 3.29 million monthly hits.
The rest of the list included some other celebs who made news headlines for various reasons this year, both wholesome and not-so-much– including Elon Musk, Will Smith, Millie Bobby Brown, Zendaya, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Taylor Swift, and Harry Styles, respectively.
“This year has certainly not been lacking when it comes to celebrity news stories, whether it be Elon Musk taking over Twitter or the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ behind-the-scenes drama,” said a spokesperson for CelebTattler.
“This study offers a fascinating insight into which celebrities have had the biggest impact on the American people, and it will be interesting to see if these search figures rise or fall in 2023.”
