On-screen love interests are one thing, but when actors form a relationship on set, it’s a completely different, far more realistic story. While working long hours on set, actors and actresses can’t help but become attached to one another, and all of the movie and TV stars on this list met their future partners during long Hollywood days. The flashing lights and yelling filmmakers on the sets of big-budget productions from studios like MGM and Touchstone may not appear to be perfect locations for a brief affair, but the sets helped these Hollywood couples give it a try.
On-Screen Partners Who Actually Fell Inlove With Each Other
Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie
Few Hollywood stars shine as brightly as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on this list. And very few love stories are as well-known as the two of them. We can go on and on pages about their story, but we’ll make it brief. Pitt and Jolie met for the first time with Mr. and Mrs. Smith, their thriller. Not only were two on-screen central characters, but they also started a relationship on set. Pitt ditched Jennifer Aniston in favor of Angelina Jolie, who quit acting to pursue activism and recently starred in the Disney film Maleficent. Despite the fact that the couple has since broken up, they were together for a long time—a total of twelve years.

Mila Kunis And Ashton Kutcher
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are another long-lasting Hollywood pair. Kunis and Kutcher met on the set of their hit sitcom That ’70s Show, though sparks didn’t fly right away because Kunis was fourteen and Kutcher was twenty. Until 2012, when the castmates rekindled their relationship, they were just working professionals. After marrying in 2015, Kutcher and Kunis went from co-stars on a Fox show to husband and wife. Dimitri and Wyatt are the couple’s two children. Will the couple collaborate on a project in the future? Who knows, but fans are hoping for the best.

Gwen Stefani And Blake Shelton
The Voice has rapidly grown in popularity to be one of the most reality television shows on television today. Would-be stars compete in the singing competition in the hopes of catching the attention of one of the celebrity judges, who will advance them in the contest. Gwen Stefani, as well as Blake Shelton, who managed to meet on the set of the NBC show in 2015, have been two of the celebrity judges. The two hit it off right away and started dating. They collaborated on music, which delighted fans who were curious to see how well the pop star’s and country star’s music blended. Stefani and Shelton are set to marry in 2020.

Claire Danes And Hugh Dancy
Another famous couple who met on a film set is Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy. Even though Danes had sworn off relationships after a series of bad luck at the time, she really can not help but give Dancy a chance while filming the 2006 film Evening. However, they didn’t fall in love while they were on set. They formed a bond over a love of Scrabble and Boggle, according to their co-star Mamie Gummer. When they went on to star on the show Homeland together, they kept their relationship off-screen as well as on. Claire Danes have a new show on Apple+ called Essex Serpent if you want more Claire Danes in your life.

Daniel Craig And Rachel Weisz
Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig have already been married for over ten years, and the British couple was great friends before marrying in 2011. On the set of a play called Les Grandes Horizontales, the couple met. Despite the fact that they didn’t start dating right away in 1994, they ultimately reconnected in December of 2010. Les Grandes Horizontales is a solid play that has received a lot of critical acclaim, despite the fact that they didn’t meet on a big MGM set or anything flashy. The National Theatre Studio in London is hosting a dark romance with an amorous plot that just couldn’t help but bring Weisz and Craig together.

Jennifer Garner And Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck used to be the “it” pair in Hollywood, and the two met on the set of Pearl Harbor in 2000. Many people believe that these two star-crossed lovers met in the 2002 film Daredevil, but it was actually the gritty war drama from two years before. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, Affleck and the Neutrogena spokeswoman didn’t really get along. Garner was married to another actor at the time, so their friendship didn’t blossom until Daredevil. They married in late June of 2005, three years later, and have been together for thirteen years.

Penelope Cruz And Javier Bardem
Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem initially met for the first time of Jamon Jamon, a Spanish-language film, and neither of them had yet gotten their big break. Both were regarded as “rising stars” in Hollywood, and Jamon Jamon’s success boosted their careers, propelling them to the status of superstars they are presently. Cruz and Bardem didn’t start dating until the early 1990s, when Cruz was only sixteen years old. Instead, their love story took a while to get started, with the two first dating in 2010 and first publicly appearing as a couple at the Goya Awards that same year.

Channing Tatum And Jenna Dewan-Tatum
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum, who did meet on the set of Step Up, a dance film, are another best-known couple who managed to meet on set. Even in the audition tape, it’s clear that the two actors clicked straight away, though Tatum was reportedly initially reluctant to date Dewan. However, he overcame his fears, and the two started dating fairly soon after the Touchstone film’s release. They married in 2009 and stayed together for nine years until work demands forced them to divorce. Step Up is still regarded as one of the best romantic films of the 2000s.

Natalie Portman And Benjamin Millepied
Natalie Portman and her dancer hubby, Benjamin Millepied, will celebrate eight years of marriage in 2020. They met on the set of the dark psychological thriller Black Swan, in which Millepied was the choreographer and Portman was the star. The intense, harrowing movie may have been dark, and yet Portman and Millepied’s love story has been anything but. Portman referred to Millepied as her “love” and said he bestowed upon her the “most important role” of her life: motherhood. Amalia and Aleph are the couple’s two children.

Eva Mendes And Ryan Gosling
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are among Hollywood’s most long-lasting (and best-looking) couples, and the two are well-known for keeping their personal lives strictly confidential. However, Mendes confirmed to OprahMag.com that she and Gosling did meet on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines. They started dating after meeting on the set of the violent, thought-provoking drama. The Pantene spokeswoman told OprahMag.com that Gosling changed her life and that she didn’t want to have children until she met her long-term partner. Esmeralda Amada and Amada Lee are their two daughters.

Emma Stone And Andrew Garfield
In 2010, The Amazing Spider-Man hit the theatres, bringing with it more than just action-packed superhero sequences. Andrew Garfield, as well as Emma Stone, two of the movie’s celebrities, managed to meet on set and started dating the following year, after formally ending their relationships. Despite the fact that they split up in 2015, there were no ill feelings between them. They reportedly split due to their hectic schedules, but according to one friend, they have always had “immense love” for each other. The two are still friends, so it did appear that these two Spider-Man stars have a happy ending.

Ryan Reynolds And Blake Lively
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are (just about) everyone’s preferred Hollywood “it” couple. Though they’ve been married for a long time, the couple is known for their social media shenanigans and flirtatious behavior. They first met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010, but there were no immediate sparks. They were both with other people at the time, as Reynolds disclosed in an interview. While the M.C.U. the star was married to Scarlett Johansson of Black Widow, Lively was dating her Gossip Girl co-star. The two were just “buddies” until they reconnected a few years later and started dating, according to Reynolds.

Adam Brody And Leighton Meester
It took many years for Adam Brody to reveal how he, as well as his wife, Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester, met and married. The two are extremely private about their relationship (who can blame them, given the paparazzi? ), and they even married in total secrecy. Brody did, however, eventually fill us in on all the details in March of 2021. They met on the set of the film The Oranges in 2011. They hit it off right away and started dating discreetly. When they first started dating, fans were ecstatic, and the couple has since co-starred in a couple of hit films in addition to having two children together.

Kurt Russell And Goldie Hawn
The romance between Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, according to one report, spans four decades. In 1966, they first met on the set of Disney’s The One and Only. They didn’t fall in love instantly, though. They didn’t reconnect for nearly two decades (and several boyfriends and girlfriends for each of them). In 1984, they reunited on the set of yet another film, Swing Shift. The second time around proved to be the charm, and they went on their first date, which they defined as “pretty crazy.” They’ve been inseparable ever since, whether it’s because they’re crazy or not.

Vincent Kartheiser And Alexis Bledel
Thankfully, Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser’s romance went much better than the love stories we have seen on Mad Men, a period television show with a lot of drama, infidelity, and sales tactics (however, everyone got to fall in love with Jon Hamm, so that made the nail-biting worth it). In 2012, Bledel made a guest appearance on Mad Men’s fifth season as Beth Dawes, while Kartheiser was a season regular. When they first met on set, they immediately fell in love and announced their relationship. Two years later, they got married.

Rose Leslie And Kit Harington
Dragons, battles, monsters, and, evidently, love behind the scenes abound in Game of Thrones. Kit Harington and Rose Leslie managed to meet while filming the HBO series Game of Thrones, and they started dating in 2011. Nobody really knew they were dating until a year later when the paparazzi snapped a photo of them holding hands, but their true love story began in 2011. On Game of Thrones, Leslie played Ygritte, a Free Folk woman, while Harington, of course, played fan-favorite Jon Snow. In 2018, the two married in a real-life castle, and in the late winter of 2021, they welcomed their first child together.

Samira Wiley And Lauren Morelli
Lauren Morelli and Samira Wiley began their relationship as friends, as do all long-term relationships. While filming their hit TV show, Orange Is the New Black, the couple met. Morelli worked on the show as a writer, while Wiley played a leading role in the cult classic. When Morelli and Wiley got to meet, she was married, but she knew Wiley was the one for her. Morelli dumped her husband and began dating the person she’d had a thing for since they first met. The couple began as friends, but things quickly progressed, and they were engaged in 2016 and married a year later. In 2021, the two women welcomed their first child together.
Samira Wiley And Lauren Morelli
Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith
Fasten your safety belts because this is going to be a wild ride—with a happy ending. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are one of Hollywood’s longest-running and wittiest couples, but it didn’t really start out that way. In 1994, they met on the set of Will’s show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Jada, on the other hand, was passed over for the part because she was too short (the role went to Nia Long). Will began dating Sheree Zampino, and the two married and had a son together, despite the fact that they had a connection. Will and Sheree’s relationship didn’t work out, so he and Jada reunited in 1995.
Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith
Michelle Williams And Heath Ledger
When it was released in 2005, Brokeback Mountain drew a lot of attention on the awards circuit, and for a good reason. Thanks to Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, the storyline was unlike anything Hollywood had seen before. Heath Ledger, on the other hand, was more preoccupied with co-star Michelle Williams. Gyllenhaal later stated that the two of them had an obvious mutual attraction. Matilda Rose, their daughter, was born in 2005 after they began dating. They had been separated for five months when Heath died tragically in 2008.
Michelle Williams And Heath Ledger
Miley Cyrus And Liam Hemsworth
The Last Song began filming in 2009, and another significant event occurred that year: Miley Cyrus’ relationship with actor Liam Hemsworth. For more than a decade, the Hollywood stars have had an up-and-down partnership, with tabloids trying to follow their every move. Cyrus described Hemsworth as her “best friend…in the world” after they did meet on set. In 2019, the couple married in a private, private ceremony in Tennessee, paying homage to Cyrus’ country roots. Though Hemsworth and Hannah Montana star split later that same year, they still shared a lot of laughs and good times over the years.

Emily Vancamp And Joshua Bowman
Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman were not only dating in actual life after meeting on the set of Revenge, but their TV show characters Emily and Daniel were also dating. At least, until Daniel ended up dying in season four (spoiler alert). In 2011, the two met and began a relationship that has lasted to this day. VanCamp and Bowman are still married and enjoying life, despite the fact that the show ended in 2015. VanCamp, a Marvel fan favorite, told People in 2021 that she’s “so grateful” that she’s been able to spend time with her husband despite their hectic schedules.
Emily Vancamp And Joshua Bowman
Zac Efron And Vanessa Hudgens
Who really can overlook Troy and Gabriella’s romance on High School Musical? HSM was a huge success for Disney, and it’s not just a source of profit for them; it was also a matchmaker. On the set of the first film, which was filmed in 2006, Zac Efron, who played Troy, and Vanessa Hudgens, who played Gabriella, met and began dating. They were on-screen and off-screen sweethearts until 2011 when they called it quits. They started dating a year before the film was released, in 2005. Hudgens stated that the two “created a bond” from the start of HSM.
Zac Efron And Vanessa Hudgens
Jennifer Aniston And Justin Theroux
Tropic Thunder featured Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, and, of course, Tom Cruise, among many others. Because she was best friends with Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, the ageless Friends actress, paid a visit to the set. It was there that she managed to meet Justin Theroux, her future husband. They didn’t start dating for several years, despite Aniston’s claim that he was the “nicest person on the planet.” They started dating in 2011 and married in 2015. Despite the fact that their marriage did not last, the two say they are still “best friends” and “look forward” to staying that way.
Jennifer Aniston And Justin Theroux
Rachel Bilson And Hayden Christensen
Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson met on the set of the 2008 film Jumper. The Hollywood couple was first spotted making out in cars and clearly dating by nosy paparazzi, but it would soon become more than that, as the couple got engaged the same year. Even though they called off their wedding in 2010, their breakup was not permanent. Three months before Christmas, they got back in touch, and in 2014, Bilson and Christensen embraced their first child, a daughter named Briar Rose. Bilson has a new actor boyfriend: S.N.L. star Bill Hader. The two split in 2017 due to their work schedules not aligning, but Bilson is now with a new actor boyfriend: S.N.L. star Bill Hader.

Anna Paquin And Stephen Moyer
When the pilot of HBO’s vampire drama True Blood had first been filmed in 2007, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer managed to meet on set. They began dating just a few months after the shooting ended, and they stayed quiet until 2009 when they made their relationship public. In a private ceremony in Malibu in 2010, the on-screen vampires married, and they still live in California, close to where they both work. Paquin is currently starring in the show Flack, while Moyer recently wrapped up his role on the show The Gifted. Poppy, Lilac, Charlie, and Billy are the couple’s four children.

David Schwimmer And Jennifer Aniston
Fans were genuinely surprised and euphoric when David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston confessed to having feelings for each other during the 1st season of Friends in the highly anticipated Friends reunion in 2021. Nevertheless, the duo was hampered by the fact that one of them was constantly seeing someone. The couple was apparently spending a lot of time together after the reunion, but David Schwimmer’s reps rejected that anything intimate was going on between them. Fans are still hoping that Ross and Rachel will end up together in real life, despite the fact that they are not an official couple yet.
David Schwimmer And Jennifer Aniston
Julia Roberts And Danny Moder
Julia Roberts’ love life has always been scrutinized as one of Hollywood’s most successful actresses. She did meet Danny Moder on the set of her hit film The Mexican in 2001. He wasn’t really a member of the cast, but rather the man in charge of the camera. Despite the fact that they were both involved with other people at the time, they had an undeniable attraction to each other. They married less than a year after meeting and went on to have three children together, proving that everything worked out for the best.

Keri Russell And Matthew Rhys
Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys had undoubted chemistry as married spies on The Americans, but their love story is far more complicated than many folks realize. The couple met around ten years before they starred on the popular television show, but despite Rhys’ best efforts, it didn’t seem to work out. Keri couldn’t recall ever meeting her co-star until they reconnected on The Americans years later. But it wasn’t long before it became clear that their chemistry wasn’t limited to the characters. They began dating shortly after the show aired and now have a son together.
Keri Russell And Matthew Rhys
Tom Hanks And Rita Wilson
Tom Hanks is so endearing that it’s hard to believe he met his long-term partner, fellow actress Rita Wilson, while still married to his first wife, Samantha Lewes. Tom and Rita met on the set of the show Bosom Buddies, where he was a star. Rita made an appearance in one episode. “Rita and I just looked at each other and — kaboing! — that was it,” he later informed GQ. ” Rita couldn’t deny it when I asked if it was the real deal for her.” His marriage had been on the rocks, so it didn’t take long for them to call it quits. Tom and Rita were married happily by 1988.
Tom Hanks And Rita Wilson
Mariska Hargitay And Peter Hermann
You get used to guest actors coming and going when you’re a lead actress on a show like Law & Order: SVU. In a 2002 episode, one guest actor, in particular, caught Mariska Hargitay’s attention when he played a lawyer. Peter asked the actress if she wanted to accompany him to church. In an interview with People, she admitted that there was a magical moment during the service that made her cry. “I just started sobbing. Peter thought I was crying because I was so moved by the service,” she said. “No, it was because I was just overwhelmed, realizing he was the one.” Two years later, in Santa Barbara, they exchanged vows.
Mariska Hargitay And Peter Hermann
Ginnifer Goodwin And Josh Dallas
Having a relationship with Prince Charming may seem like a cliché reserved for fairy tales, but it was a reality for Ginnifer Goodwin. While playing the lead in the hit show Once Upon a Time, the actress met her husband, Josh Dallas. Snow White was her role, and Prince Charming was played by Dallas. There was an instant connection, but given how closely they worked together, they were both wary of crossing that line. They got their happy ending when they decided it was worth the risk and married in 2014, shortly after which they welcomed two sons.
Ginnifer Goodwin And Josh Dallas
Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have the type of long-term relationship that many people wish for but find it hard to find. Mark admitted in a later interview that he was particularly drawn to Kelly from the moment they met on the set of All My Children. The two played love interests on the show, but despite developing feelings for each other, they tried to keep it a secret from the rest of the cast and crew in order to maintain their professionalism. They eloped to Las Vegas and married in a low-key ceremony just a few months after they started dating. Since then, they’ve lived happily ever after.

Kirsten Dunst And Jesse Plemons
Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst may appear to be an unusual couple, but the two have been together since having met on the set of Fargo in 2014. They didn’t really start dating right away after realizing they were attracted to each other, instead opting to wait a while. Plemons proposed a year later after they made their relationship public in 2016. Ennis, their son, was born in 2018. Both Dunst and Plemons prefer to keep their personal lives private, but they have spoken about each other in interviews, with Jesse describing his wife as “amazing” and Dunst praising her partner’s dedication.
Kirsten Dunst And Jesse Plemons
Gwyneth Paltrow And Brad Falchuk
Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay singer Chris Martin appeared to be married for the long term at one point, but their marriage ended in 2014. Gwyneth appeared on Glee as Holly Holiday not long after the divorce, where she met writer Brad Falchuk. Despite the fact that they began dating and married in 2018, they did not move in together until a year later in 2019. Since then, Brad and Gwynnie have been happily married, with Paltrow having to tell InStyle, “I adore my husband. He’s brilliant and deeply kind. I feel like he’s a real equal too. And he pushes me in the best ways. I really like being married. It’s fun.”
Gwyneth Paltrow And Brad Falchuk
LeAnn Rimes And Eddie Cibrian
The beginning of LeAnn Rimes’ relationship with Eddie Cibrian wasn’t quite as idyllic as you might think. Both of them were married to other people when they met on the set of the Lifetime movie Northern Lights. They really can not refuse to acknowledge the attraction and eventually divorced their spouses to be together. They decided to marry in 2011 and have maintained a united front since then, frequently attending red carpet events as a couple. LeAnn is stepmom to Eddie’s two children from his marriage to Brandi Glanville of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame, despite the fact that they have yet to have children together.

Alyson Hannigan And Alexis Denisof
Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, was among the most popular shows in the 1990s and early 2000s, which is why its cancellation after seven seasons was so heartbreaking for fans. The shoproduced not only great episodeses, but also a lasting romance. When Alexis Denisof was cast as Wesley in season 3, Alyson Hannigan, who played Willow, met him. Denisof was hesitant to date someone he worked with because Hannigan was interested. They finally got together two years after they first met. Satyana and Keeva, their two daughters, were born in 2003.

Freddie Prinze, Jr. And Sarah Michelle Gellar
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr have demonstrated that two celebrities can have a long-term relationship. In 1997, they met on the set of the classic teen horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer. They struck up a strong friendship, which only two years later flourished into a romance. They got engaged a few months later and married in 2002. They’ve been together ever since, welcoming two children and continuing to work, with Sarah concentrating on acting and Freddie pursuing a career in cooking.

Alicia Vikander And Michael Fassbender
Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender are two of Hollywood’s most understated actors. Despite their skillset, they are very seldom featured in the tabloids. The couple met while filming The Light Between Oceans in New Zealand and have kept their relationship private ever since. They married in 2017 and are expecting their first child in 2021. There isn’t much else known about their relationship, but they seem to be happy and no signs of trouble have ever made the news. That is a triumph in and of itself in Hollywood.
Alicia Vikander And Michael Fassbender
Jennifer Connelly And Paul Bettany
Jennifer Connelly is best known for portraying the raven-haired adolescent who seduced David Bowie’s goblin king Jareth in the cult classic film Labyrinth. Her professional life has progressed rapidly since then, thanks to roles in films such as 2001’s A Beautiful Mind. Despite being in other relationships at the time, Paul realized he couldn’t live without her after the 9/11 attacks. They married in 2003 and have two children together and Paul’s child from a previous marriage.

Frances McDormand And Joel Coen
Frances McDormand as well as Joel Coen are like royalty in Hollywood. When she took on the role of Abby in the Coen Brothers’ first feature film, Blood Simple, in 1982, their relationship developed. McDormand almost ended up turning down the part because she needed to be able to participate in an event with her then-boyfriend. She, fortunately, made up her mind. Her professional life and love life were both jump-started by Blood Simple. They married two years later and have ones andas a number of successful films, such as Fargo. Their connection works in a variety of ways, not the least because they’re both extremely creative and talented.

Michael J. Fox And Tracy Pollan
Michael J. Fox’s life hasn’t been easy, but his wife Tracy Pollan has been by his side through it all. Tracy agreed to sign on to play his love interest in the show Family Ties while the Back to the Future star was working on it in Hollywood. Pollan was dating Kevin Bacon at the time, yet sparks flew. They were both single and ready to mingle when they were cast in the same movie two years later. When Fox found out Tracy was single, he jumped at the opportunity to ask her out. They married in 1988, and Michael was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991. Tracy is often credited as Fox’s rock.

Kevin Bacon And Kyra Sedgwick
Kevin Bacon didn’t take long to find new love after ending his long-term relationship with Tracey Pollan. It was all purely coincidental. In the late 1980s, they were both cast in leading roles in the PBS film Lemon Sky. They married not long after they met. They’ve been happily married ever since, frequently supporting and gushing about their relationship on red carpets. They have two children together and have been through some public storms, including being involved in Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme.
Kevin Bacon And Kyra Sedgwick
Leslie Mann And Judd Apatow
Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow share a similar sense of humour, which could explain why they get along really well. Leslie was initially uninterested when they met on the set of Judd’s film The Cable Guy in 1996. Rather, she had her sights set on Ben Stiller, the director. Judd did manage to pique her interest shortly after, and they married a year later, with Iris and Maude as their children. Mann has played the lead in a number of films since then, while Apatow has produced a number of them, including Knocked Up and This Is 40, both of which he appears in.

Johnny Galecki And Kaley Cuoco
Audiences and critics holding out hope for a big dramatic story between Big Bang Theory co-stars Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco will be disappointed, as the two were friendly even though their relationship, which lasted from 2007 to 2009, did not work out. During the early seasons of the hit sitcom, Cuoco and Galecki began dating quietly. It “never went anywhere,” Cuoco informed CBS Watch. Despite the fact that the relationship was “wonderful,” they decided it wasn’t for them and ended it. They remained close friends and worked together for ten years on The Big Bang Theory, collaborating amicably and earning millions of dollars in the process.

Annette Bening And Warren Beatty
Warren Beatty and Annette Bening managed to meet later in life while playing the lead in the film Bugsy in 1991. Despite a nearly two-decade age gap, the pair has been together for nearly 30 years. Amidst Warren’s previous attempts to date Bening, their plans had failed. On Bugsy, everything changed. Their relationship grew quickly after that, with Annette giving birth to their first child just a month after the film was released in theaters. They went on to have a happy life together as two Hollywood A-listers with plenty of clout.

Machine Gun Kelly And Megan Fox
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox could not be more dissimilar, but the rocker as well as the former Transformers film star have been together since they met on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020. Prior to this, Fox was married to Brian Austin Green, with whom she has three children. Fox described herself and her new lover as “twin flames” during an appearance on Lala Kent’s podcast, comparing them to two parts of the same soul in different bodies. Since then, they’ve been spotted on red carpets and at various events.

Lauren Graham And Peter Krause
Lauren Graham found love in her own way, despite the wishes of fans of the Gilmore Girls for her to marry Luke in real life. In 2010, while filming the TV show Parenthood, where they both played siblings, the actress met her future partner Peter Krause. Lauren later told Good Housekeeping that the transition from friendship to romance was straightforward. “We couldn’t stop talking. Not about ourselves, but about the world and books and family. Once we got together, there was no gameplay. It was like, ‘You like me, and I like you.’”
Lauren Graham And Peter Krause
Rob McElhenney And Kaitlin Olson
During the second season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson suddenly realised they seemed to have romantic feelings for each other. According to reports, it was Olson who made the first move during a Fox party. “Like, once I fell in love with him, I realized that I was deeply in love with him in a way that I hadn’t been in love with anyone before,” Kaitlin later informed Dax Shephard. In 2008, they married and walked away into the sunset.

Grace And Trai Byers
Some couples appear to be so aesthetically pleasing together that it really makes perfect sense. Trai Byers and Grace Byers met on the set of Empire in 2015, but Grace was already married at the time. She ended the relationship after realizing it wasn’t going to work out. Soon after, the couple began dating and officially confirmed their engagement, eventually marrying in 2016 on Grand Cayman Island. They’re passionately in love, trying to judge by their gushing social media posts, and that’s not going to change anytime soon.

Tig Notaro And Stephanie Allynne
Tig Notaro and her wife Stephanie Allynne met on the set of In a World… in 2013, but it wasn’t love at first sight. They didn’t start dating until a year later, when they met at an awards show. Stephanie had never dated a woman before at that point in her life, so she took her time trying to figure things out. 6 months later, the couple made their relationship official, and in 2015, they were engaged. They married less than a year later in front of a small crowd that included fellow comedian Sarah Silverman.
Tig Notaro And Stephanie Allynne
Richard Burton And Elizabeth Taylor
The love story between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton is one of the most complicated in Hollywood history, both on and off the screen. When they were cast in Cleopatra in 1963, they met for the first time. They were both dating other people at the time, but they couldn’t refuse to recognise their emotional attachment. For the next few years, their relationship was plastered all over the tabloids, culminating in the stars’ first marriage in 1964. They split up a decade later, then remarried in 1975 and divorced the following year.

Humphrey Bogart And Lauren Bacall
One of Old Hollywood’s greatest love stories is that of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. When Bacall (then 19) got to meet Bogart (then 45) on the set of To Have and Have Not, she was a model-turned-actress. Bacall’s first leading role was in this film. There was no “lightning bolt” or “clap of thunder” when the two met, according to the actress. With the passage of time, this changed, and the two began dating. Bacall and Bogart collaborated on four films. They married and had two children together. Bogart was laid to rest in Glendale, California, with a small golden whistle. He’d given Bacall the whistle as part of a charm bracelet he’d given her before they married.

Jennifer Lawrence defined herself and ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult as “two perverted Homer Simpsons,” as she always does. The superstar actors first met on the set of Marvel’s X-Men: First Class in 2010. Lawrence described the actor as her “best friend” because he could end up making the Oscar winner “laugh harder than anyone else,” according to Elle Magazine. They dated for a few years before becoming too busy for a relationship because they are both top-tier Hollywood stars. According to E! News, they spent too much time off from each other due to work, which strained their relationship. Lawrence is now married, and both actors have moved on.

Rose Byrne And Bobby Cannavale
On the set of the musical Annie, Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale met. Cannavale made clear that he chose the film, which isn’t in his usual genre, because he’s “always wanted” to do a musical. He stated that with every film he made, he would try to do something different, which is why he chose Annie. It’s a good thing he did, because that’s where he met Rose Byrne. They’ve been together for seven years and have two children together. The co-stars and co-parents aren’t married legally, but they refer to each other as “husband” and “wife” because it’s “easier.”

Blake Lively And Penn Badgley
It’s difficult to imagine Blake Lively with anyone other than Deadpool star and comedian Ryan Reynolds. She did, however, date her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley before meeting her now-husband. When they got to meet on the set of the upscale drama in 2007, they were both new to show business. For three years, the two dated in secret, keeping their relationship hidden from their co-stars and everyone except their closest family and friends. No one on set knew they were dating until the season two finale of Gossip Girl. Both are now married to other people, and there appear to be no ill feelings between them.
