20 Celebs Who Ended Up Marrying Their Fans

There are plenty of celebrities who marry other famous people because, after all, who could understand the challenges of the Hollywood lifestyle better than someone who has experienced it themselves? However, there are also a lot of celebrities who've surprisingly fallen head over heels for regular people with regular jobs. And then, of course, there's the fact that celebrities themselves are human and have crushes of their own. Which means, that no matter how many times they've walked the red carpet, they too can completely geek out over someone else.

It may seem weird to think of a celeb starting a relationship with - and then marrying - a fan, but hey, your partner is supposed to be your biggest personal fan, right? So why not find love with someone who just happens to be a huge supporter of your work as well? At least you know they won't mind coming to premieres to celebrate your projects!

Here are 20 celebrities who ended up marrying their fans, from regular people outside the circle of Hollywood elite to other celebs who were already famous in their own right.
