18 Celebrity Couples Who Met On Set & Married In Real Life
In a world where we're constantly bombarded with bad news, we love to latch on to the good news, especially when it revolves around our two guilty pleasures: love and celebrity gossip! While there are many celebs who find love in the Hollywood dating sphere, we're somehow way more interested in the celebs who have met while working together. After all, there is just something so special about a love that grows between two people who spend as much time together as two co-stars do. They build trust, friendships, and an attraction to one another, all while filming a show or movie that we can all look back on and imagine how their passion all started.
While many celebs remain tight-lipped about their romance with their on-screen co-stars, many admit to the fact that their relationship bloomed while "at the office" long after the movie's release. We're sure that all of these quiet secrets are all part of the plan to promote the movie or show, and not to focus on their coupledom, so we're not too shocked when they don't want to immediately admit their love. Also, who really wants to announce a fresh relationship when it could all go downhill a month later? For celebs, you really want to be sure before outing your relationship to the media.
But even among all the celebrity breakups and divorces - raise your hand if you're still crushed about the Anna Faris and Chris Pratt separation! - we can't help but redirect our focus to all of the wonderful relationships that Hollywood helped create, which is why we've built a list of some of our favourite famous couples who discovered love while behind the camera.
We don't know about you, but after learning about all the celeb couples who have met on set and fell in love, we're about ready to queue up our Netflix and re-watch some old DVD's to pick up on all the little details that these stars have tried to hide from us for too long.
18 Kit Harington & Rose Leslie Met While Filming GOT
While on the set for the HBO fantasy fiction, Game of Thrones, the characters Jon Snow and Ygritte ignited a chemistry that even fans of the book could drool over. These characters were portrayed by Kit and Rose, two Western European actors hailing from England and Scotland, respectively. It wasn't long before their chemistry translated to the real world and the stars started to date in secret in 2012, but the tabloids were quick to pick up on the lovebirds. They were off, but rekindled the spark in 2014, and they've been together ever since. It was just last month when the couple officially announced - by way of Rose flashing an engagement ring - that the two are indeed preparing to tie the knot! He says that he "blew his load early" by popping the question earlier than he wanted to, but he admitted that it was a bad expression to use to describe the situation.
17 Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Said "I Do" Shortly After Meeting On The Green Lantern Set
Before these mutual hotties met on the set of the superhero flick, The Green Lantern, Blake and Ryan were each dating or married to other Hollywood superstars. Blake dated fellow Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley for two years before briefly dating Leonardo DiCaprio in 2011. It was the same year that Blake and Ryan met, but it was also the same year that Ryan was still married to Scarlett Johansson! Sparks must have flew between these self-proclaimed "best friends" because both dropped their A-list partners in favour of hooking up with each other. The two got married in September the following year and have just celebrated their fifth year of wedded bliss. The two have two daughters, James and Ines, and continue to look adorable and poke fun of each other on every red carpet and across every social media channel.
16 Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis Met While Filming That 70's Show
Perhaps one of the cutest stories of Hollywood stars being struck by Cupid's arrow is that of That 70's Show alum, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. Way back in 1998, these two stars met on set to play high school sweethearts, Jackie and Kelso. Mila was only fourteen at the time and she had her first ever kiss with Ashton at that tender age. Ashton was nineteen and remembered thinking, "'Isn't this illegal? Like can I-am I allowed?" On their relationship at the time, Ashton says that he was not attracted to her. "She was 14! She was like my little sister. I wanted to make sure she was okay." Together, they love the fact that their first-ever kiss together (and Mila's first kiss ever) has been memorialized on screen! Their relationship first began as a FWB situation - which reflected their separate movies based around similar plots, Friends With Benefits and No Strings Attached. The two married in 2015 and have a son and daughter, Dimitri and Wyatt.
15 Shia LaBeouf & Mia Goth Met On The Set Of A Scandalous Sequel
When it comes to Shia LaBeouf, the celeb is as mysterious as his new choice in wife, Mia Goth. While filming the erotic film, Nimphomaniac: Vol II, Shia met his future wife Mia who played "P" in the sensually-focused film. Since 2012, the two have had an odd relationship, frequently calling it quits and having public fights. Just last fall, the two got married in a $700 ceremony at a Las Vegas chapel, which was officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator. The wedding was live-streamed and was wrapped up by the duo jumping into a pink limousine. If you're thinking all of this is weird, you're not the only one. While the pair seems like an unlikely one, it's a couple that certainly has had its ups and downs (like many relationships). We only hope that this union lasts longer than most Hollywood marriages!
14 Channing Tatum & Jenna Dewan Had Instant Chemistry When Filming Step Up
When it comes to Hollywood, it's only natural for two bonafide hotties to unite and forever keep their beautiful genes from blending with "normals". For Channing Tatum and JennaDewan, that's exactly what happened when they met on the fiery dance flick, Step Up, back in 2006. More than ten years later, Channing and Jenna have been together ever since and officially tied the knot in 2009 at a Malibu vineyard. Classic. This steamy couple have one daughter, Everly, who is four. The couple are hilarious on and off screen, but their relationship turned next-level back when they each appeared on Lip Sync Battle last September. Channing channeled his inner Beyonce, while Jenna spoofed Channing's infamous dance number from Magic Mike! Wowza. You can just see the heat radiating off of this husband and wifey.
13 Daniel Craig & Rachel Weisz Worked Together On Dream House & Married Shortly After
It looks like our modern-day Mr. James Bond himself has married his very own Bond Girl, however these two A-list celebs never actually acted together in any of the spy movies. Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz first met while filming the thriller, Dream House, back in 2010, but refused to start dating until after filming wrapped up. The two didn't waste any time before getting hitched, as they were married in June 2011 (before the film was even released!). These two British actors must have bonded over their love of film, bangers and mash, and a pint of good ale… or perhaps they just found some familiarity in each other among all of the Western L.A.-based folk. The two each have children from separate marriages, so there doesn't seem to be any future plans for any additional little ones for these "mature" celebs.
12 Jennifer Aniston Married Justin Theroux After Meeting Him On The Set Of Wanderlust
After so many years of remaining to be Hollywood's most eligible bachelorette after her split from Brad, Jennifer Aniston finally found her happiness in fellow actor, Justin Theroux, after working together in 2012 on the comedy film, Wanderlust. The two shared more than a few laughs together on set and began seeing each other almost immediately after the film wrapped up. After dating for a few years, the rumours just would not stop about whether or not these two would finally tie the knot and make Jen an honest woman. Finally, Justin popped the question and the two got married in August of 2015. Now, the tabloids are running wild with speculations of the two starting a family, even after constant squashing of such claims. Jen says she's "fed up" with all the pregnancy rumours and says that it's a very personal issue for her. So, we'll just take a back seat on this topic… for now.
11 Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes Met In 2011 While Shooting The Place Beyond The Pines
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes may or may not be married - we're not exactly sure, and neither is anyone else - but we DO know that the duo have been in love since they first established an on-screen romance in the movie, The Place Beyond The Pines. Rumour has it that the two secretly eloped, which seems to be more fact than fiction as of late, so we're just going to go ahead and say that they're married. After all, the two share two daughters together, Amada and Esmeralda, who they're raising to be "normal" and speak mostly "Spanglish" to one another. While most of the world's women are sad to know that this hunky Canadian boy is no longer single, we can't help but see what they see in each other: hot, hot passion! With these two red-hot celebs, we're not even surprised that they fell for each other. When it comes to his "wife" and children, Ryan says he's "living the dream".
10 Anna Paquin & Stephen Moyer Couldn't Resist Each Other While Filming True Blood
For anyone who was a fan of the HBO vampire-werewolf-faerie drama, True Blood, you'd know just how exciting this fang-filled union is! Anna Paquin played Sookie Stackhouse in the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana. She later learns of the world of vampires and falls for Bill Compon - played by Stephen Moyer. The show was intense, to say the least, and this was partly due to the scandalous writing, but also partly due to the wild chemistry that Anna and Stephen had on-screen. After watching these two play out their love and passion for one another in the blood-filled TV show, we're not even a little bit surprised that they ended up falling for each other in real life. In fact, Stephen has admitted that he knew within seconds of acting together that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Anna. Awww! The two were married in 2010 and had boy-girl twins, Charlie and Poppy, in 2012.
9 Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth Might Already Be Married After First Meeting While Filming The Last Song
Back in 2009, Miley Cyrus starred in the chick-flick The Last Song alongside hunky beau, Liam Hemsworth. The two started dating after filming, but did not make it official until the film's premiere. The two were engaged in 2012 after a bunch of on-and-off-again road blocks in their relationship. After some "soul searching" on Miley's part, Liam and Miley called off their wedding in 2013, but remained good friends. As of 2016, the two reunited after Miley went through the changes she had to go through, as they couldn't do that together. Since she's young, it was inevitable that Miley would have to "find herself" among all fame in her youth. Liam was patient and fell in love with the new person she became, proving that their love is genuine and never-ending! Rumours of them already being married started circulating this year, but it seems that it's more fact than fiction.
8 Megan Fox & Bryan Austin Green Met On The Set Of Her Show Hope & Faith
Hollywood babe, Megan Fox, first met her hubby Bryan Austin Green when he made a guest appearance on her show, Hope & Faith, back in 2004. She was just starting to branch out as an actress, while his fame was tapering off. The couple have a twelve-year age gap between them, but sparks flew quickly after meeting each other, regardless of the difference in age. The two have a fiery relationship that is based on a mutual passion for one another, respect, and "believing in each other". The two have been off-and-on since uniting more than ten years ago, but finally got hitched in 2010. They filed for divorce in 2015, but managed to stick it out and remain solid for their three sons, Bodhi, Noah, and Journey.
7 Alexis Bledel & Vincent Kartheiser Had A Romance On Screen & Off The Set Of Mad Men
Former Gilmore Girls' star, Alexis Bledel, and Mad Men's Vincent Kartheiser first met when Alexis was given an opportunity to guest-star on the hit show about life of the fast-paced ad execs in the 1960's. The two engaged in a romance on-screen between their characters, Pete and Beth. The two shared some steamy scenes together, which is probably how the two began to heat up in the first place. While the two shared an interest in each other, they said that they kept it entirely professional and "never saw each other" out and about. Once their working lives ended, they quickly picked up their proximity to one another in their personal lives. The two were married in 2014, shortly after Vincent proposed, and they both welcomed their first son in 2016.
6 Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prince Jr. First Met While Filming A Scary Movie
These two stars who were most famous for the roles they played in the 90's - can anyone remember Buffy The Vampire Slayer and She's All That? Yeah, of course you do. They first met on the 1997 set of the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer, the slasher flick that followed high school students around as they met their untimely death. The movie also starred two other 90's heartthrobs, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ryan Philippe. What a film! While both Sarah and Freddie were massively famous during the turn of the century, they were able to find a connection with each other unlike any other they've had before. Another couple who consider themselves to be each other's best friends, these two cuties married in 2002, which was the same year that the twosome starred in the live-action movie, Scooby Doo, together. Awwww! They share two children together, Charlotte and Rocky, and often share their love for each other across Instagram.
5 Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Filmed Mr. & Mrs. Smith And Had Six Kids Together, Although Are Going Through A Divorce Now
While these big-time celebs have recently decided to call it quits, the two were married for three years following a ten-year partnership after meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. While Brad was famously married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, the two faced a lot of media scrutiny over their relationship, especially from fans of Jen. The tabloids loved the scandal and was all over the duo, with fans being told to pick a side: Team Angelina or Team Jen. While it's been over a decade, this couple still hasn't been able to shake the fact that they fell in love while Brad was still married. Hey, stuff happens. It's been years, shouldn't we get over it? Since their very public union, Brad and Angelina have had three children together - Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. Brad has also adopted Angie's other children, Zahara, Maddox, and Pax.
4 Jennifer Gardner & Ben Affleck Met While Playing Superheroes Back In 2003
Before Netflix got the Marvel gang together in the form of its series', Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, The Defenders, and more, Daredevil was a feature film that debuted the masked hero and his female counterpart, Elektra, in 2003. These two characters were played by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner and the time they spent filming together ignited a spark within them that resulted in a marriage that has lasted more than ten years. However, the two first met while filming Pearl Harbour, but they were each with other partners at the time. Ben has said that "We met on Pearl Harbor [… ] but we fell in love on Daredevil". The stars have three children together - Violet, Samuel, and Seraphina Rose - but have recently filed for divorce. Ben still lives in the family's guest house, even though he's been seeing a new lady, Lindsay Shookus, on the side for a few months now.
3 Emma Watkins & Lachlan Gillespie Fell In Love While Working On The Wiggles Set
If there was any other couple cuter than these two, we're yet to find them! These two famous Wiggles characters are the happy-go-lucky Australian duo who perform alongside two other nursery-rhyme singing friends, Anthony and Simon. But for Emma and Lachlan (or Lachy) - who go by the same names on the show - they couldn't help but find happiness in each other while brightening the lives of eager-to-learn, singing and dancing children. Together, their radiating smiles infected each other's hearts and lives in 2013. Since then, the twosome have been keeping their relationship secret in order to ward of rumours of their love being for publicity. Finally, they couldn't hold their happiness back any longer, and they announced their love back in 2015, immediately followed by an engagement! The two tied the knot in April 2016.
2 Josh Dallas & Ginnifer Goodwin Found Their Happily Ever After While Filming In Vancouver
It's not every day that you get to witness an actual fairytale play out in real life, but that's exactly what happened between the two actors who play Prince Charming and Snow White in Once Upon A Time. Not long after starting to film the series, the two began to date, which is probably why they've maintained such adorable on-screen chemistry throughout every season of the fairytale character-filled show. The two had their happily ever after when they married in 2013 and have been able to remain within close proximity together both at home and at work, not letting their work schedules conflict with their marriage. In fact, the two are now starting to prioritize family and have recently shared the sad news that they will not be returning to Once for another season. Wah! Instead, they'll be spending more time with their kids, Oliver and Hugo.
1 Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Philippe Met Each Other On The Set Of Cruel Intentions
Speaking of Hollywood marriages that don't last, we have to acknowledge the A-list couple whose marriage was most in the public eye during the late nineties and first decade of the new century. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe first met while filming the drama Cruel Intentions; the racy fanfic centred around a jaded family, wealth, and naughty wagers. In the film, Reese and Ryan find romance among petty bets, but their on-screen chemistry could not be contained to the silver screen. The two young actors married in 1999 when she was just twenty-four years old, which she says was a "ridiculously young" age to get married. The two divorced in 2007, crushing many fans, but the two remain to be pretty amicable as they continue to co-parent their two children, Ava and Deacon.
