They (meaning Mark Ronson and MERYL STREEP'S DAUGHTER) got engaged and married this past year. Mostly just can't believe Mark Ronson's mother-in-law is Meryl Streep.

Other pics of them were too expensive and not worth buying, but these two have apparently been dating since August. Another coupling I just wouldn't have predicted.
