When stars date other stars, it not only makes for good fodder for gossip stories, they can also give rise to real love stories. In this article, we have put together a list of ten celebrity couples who seem to have found their soul mate in the world of showbiz, stay tuned!
Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson first met on “Volunteers” film set in 1985. After the breakdown of his marriage to Samantha Lewes in 1987, his marriage to his fellow actress followed as early as 1988. Since then, nothing can separate the two. The couple had two sons together: Chet and Truman. Colin and Elizabeth Hanks are from their first marriage.
Elton John and David Furnish
David Furnish and Elton John met in 1993 at a Halloween party. The present-day film producer was still working in a renowned advertising agency at that time. Since then, the two have been going through life together: They made their union legally valid with a registered civil partnership in December 2005. Both became parents to sons Zachary Jackson Levon and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John in 2010 and 2013. In December 2014, they eventually married.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been officially a couple since 2002 – they have known each other since 1998. Over the years, the two developed into the absolute power couple of the music scene. Supposed cheating stories processed the singer even with their album “Lemonade”. Both of them had daughter Blue Ivy in 2012, and in 2017 the twins Rumy and Sir followed.
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart were introduced in a typical romantic comedy fashion: at the Golden Globes in 2002, she accidentally spilled a glass of red wine all over the actor’s suit. It didn’t take long after that for the two to become a couple. They have been married since 2010 – the third marriage for Ford. The two raised their son Liam, who was adopted by Flockhart shortly before.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
Having daughter Daisy Dove, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom’s romantic bliss is now perfect – back in 2016, this singer and actor got together, but they broke up in 2017, something that Perry said had plunged her into a life crisis. But the differences could be put out of the way a short time later: the couple got engaged in 2019, and in 2020 their first child together was born.
Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor
“It’s the most wonderful, most extraordinary thing that could have ever happened to me in my life,” says actress Holland Taylor about her love for Sarah Paulson. The pair, who have officially been together since 2015, has caused a stir in Hollywood and beyond because of their age difference – 32 years separate them, but the actress say that doesn’t affect how they both feel about each other.
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski
Emily and John first met in November 2008 at a restaurant, “He was sitting with our friend Justin Theroux, and he left him and came over to us. He was just standing there, and he made me laugh. I knew it kind of right away,” the actress said. He obviously felt the same way, she says, because he also knew at that moment that he was going to fall in love. The couple married in 2010, and their children Hazel and Violet were born in 2014 and 2016.
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka
David Burtka has been by Neil Patrick Harris’ side since 2004 – the two first met on the set of “How I Met Your Mother,” where Burtka played Lily’s ex-boyfriend Scooter. The couple became parents to twins with the help of a surrogate mother in 2010 – the wedding followed in Italy in 2014.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
The love story of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively started in 2011 on the set of “Green Lantern” – the same year the actor divorced Scarlett Johansson. Blake Lively went down the aisle just one year later. Ever since, the couple has been especially known for their humorous approach to each other. The two have three children: Inez, Betty and James.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
News that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had gotten back together seemed like a fairy tale to many “Bennifer” fans: They both met in the early 2000s, were in front of the camera for two movies and were in a relationship from 2002 to 2004. Their wedding, which was planned for 2003, had been called off shortly before. After both had married other partners and had children, the great love comeback followed in 2021.
