Many actors meet their significant others-to-be while at work. Think about it: spending well many hours at a job is bound to spark a little romance between co-workers. When you start talking about stars who fell in love while on set, you realize that the list gets pretty long. Unlike the rest of us, most actors’ romances are viewed under a microscope. The minute we hear that two celebrities are in a relationship, we want to know everything: How did they meet? How long have they been together? Do they go on double dates? How often do they fight? Mix this curiosity in with some casual paparazzi photos and the pressure is on for any celebrity love birds who are just trying to get to know each other. Between being in the public eye, having crazy work schedules, and barely getting any alone time, most relationships that are stuck in the limelight eventually dwindle and vanish. Fortunately, that doesn’t stop most actors from falling in love with one another on set. And that doesn’t stop us from obsessing over them. Here are 16 celebrity couples who fell in love on set.
1. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
One good thing that came out of Daredevil movie seems to be this relationship. “That’s where I found my wife,” he told Playboy magazine. “We met on Pearl Harbor, which people hate, but we fell in love on Daredevil.” The two got married in 2005 and have three kids together. Sadly the marriage has been on the rocks recently.
2. Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds
The couple met in 2010 when they were cast as leads in the movie Green Lantern. Although the film was a bit of a flop, they came away from the experience with a solid friendship formed. That worked because at the time, Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson and Lively was dating Penn Badgley, her co-star on Gossip Girl. Finally, in October 2011, People reported that the friendship had blossomed into a romance. The actress was spotted leaving Reynolds' Boston apartment over his birthday weekend, while he was in the city filming R.I.P.D., as People reported. A short year later, they were married in a surprise ceremony at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
3. Samira Wiley And Lauren Morelli
Have you ever heard about Lauren Morelli? This young woman rose to stardom after the release of 'Orange Is the New Black' but she is also well-known for coming out. Today, Lauren Morelli is a famous American TV screenwriter, developing Netflix's 'Tales of the City,' a spinoff of the Channel 4 1994 series of the same name. The couple wed in March 2017 in a touching and beautiful ceremony and now they try to spend every second with each other. However, it is usually difficult. Samira once confessed:"We don’t get to spend that much time together, we’re always traveling, so it’s really special when we are together to be able to take the time and look in each other’s eyes.”
4. Natalie Portman And Benjamin Millepied
Portman recounted first laying eyes on her choreographer now-husband during a 2018 appearance. Millepied, who met Portman while working on Black Swan, made an otherwise embarrassing parking mistake that ended up endearing him to the actress. "Pretty close," she told host Andy Cohen when asked if it was love at first sight. "He parked backward on the street, like, I saw him- we were on a first-floor studio - and he parked like the wrong direction. And I was like, 'okay, that fits.' “
