Spencer Tracy And Katharine Hepburn

On and off the screen, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy were a legendary Hollywood couple. Beginning with the comedy-drama Woman of the Year, the two starred in nine films together. Hepburn and Tracy portrayed two journalists who fell in love while juggling their work and personal lives. Tracy was “irresistible” to Hepburn the moment she met him, she said. Regrettably, they were forced to keep their love a private matter. Tracy, a devout Catholic, refused to divorce his wife, Louise, and they had a twenty-seven-year affair. Hepburn did not publicly admit their nearly three-decade inappropriate relationship until his wife died.

Freida Pinto And Dev Patel

Dev Patel, an Oscar nominee, and Freida Pinto, a BAFTA nominee, met on the set of Slumdog Millionaire in 2007, a smash hit that swept the box office worldwide. In the film, the two played love interests, and it was eventually revealed that Patel had a hand in Pinto’s casting. Patel was asked to choose which actress he’d like to “date.” Pinto was his choice. When Pinto broke up with her fiancée in 2009, rumors quickly spread that she and Patel were dating. Before calling it quits, the couple dated for a few years.
