15+ Celebs Who Found Their True Love While Working on Their Big Hits

When you work with someone, you get to see them for hours every single day and see how they think and operate. In the case of actors, they often get way closer to their colleagues since they often have romantic scenes with them. This is the type of kind that can bring them a lot closer and not just on the movie set.

1. Britney Spears and Sam Asghari

The way Sam Asghari reached out to Pop Queen Britney Spears was kind of embarrassing... Or at least that’s what he confessed to the media. They were working together on the shooting for the Slumber Party music video. Spears came to him to introduce herself and because he was so nervous, he pretended to not know who she was just to make her laugh.

2. Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox

The pair met on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020 and started off as friends, as Fox was still married at that time. Her separation from her then-husband Brian Austin Green caused rumors that she and Machine Gun Kelly were more than just friends. Their relationship got confirmed a short while later, and the couple announced their engagement in January 2022.

3. Rami Malek and Lucy Boynton

Filming the Oscar-winning movie Bohemian Rhapsody brought these 2 together, and they are still going strong to this day. Aside from appearing on the red carpet together, they keep their relationship private. But Malek made a romantic gesture when he received his Oscar for Best Actor: in his speech, he said, “Lucy Boynton, you’re the heart of this film. You are beyond immensely talented. You have captured my heart. Thank you so much.”

4. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar

The couple originally met on the set of the horror movie I Know What You Did Last Summer, and had to spend a lot of time together off set, as Gellar didn’t have a driver’s license, so Freddie Prinze Jr. helped her out by giving her rides to and from the filming site. They became friends but then started dating when they filmed their next project together — Scooby-Doo, which came out in 2002. The couple tied the knot that same year.

5. Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin

These 2 are another example of an on-screen romance growing into a real-life connection: Moyer played Paquin’s love interest in the series True Blood, and the sparks between them began during the audition! Stephen Moyer recalled that he knew he was going to spend the rest of his life with Anna Paquin even when they didn’t know each other very well, and he was right: the couple wed in 2010 and they now have 2 kids together.

6. Zendaya and Tom Holland

Tom Holland and Zendaya are the latest duo to play Spider-Man and his love interest, Mary Jane. The rumors of them dating go as far back as 2016, when Spider-Man: Homecoming was being filmed, but they did not confirm their relationship until 2021 when the pair was spotted kissing. It is said that the couple had been friends for a long time before things got romantic.

7. Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem

This dream couple first set eyes on each other in 1992 while filming together. It took many years before they took things to the next level when they met on the set of the 2008 film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and started their romance. They got married in 2010 and have 2 children together now.

8. Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig knew each other for a while before they starred together in the movie Dream House in 2010, but the sparks flew on set. They got married about a year later in a private ceremony. They now have one daughter together.

9. Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin

Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas were cast as Snow White and Prince Charming for the show Once Upon a Time, and their fairytale romance grew into a real-life connection. The couple got engaged in 2013 and got married in 2014. They have 2 sons together.

10. Grace Gealey and Trai Byers

The pair met on the set of the series Empire, and it might have been love at first sight, as they got engaged the same year the show premiered — in 2015. They got married a year later in a private ceremony.

11. Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons

The couple played sweethearts in the series Fargo, and fell in love off the set as well. Interestingly enough, Plemons was a big fan of Dunst before meeting her, and now he is engaged and has 2 kids with his favorite actress! The couple wants to marry in the near future, but has not found the time to do it yet.

12. Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes

This famous couple rarely talks about their family life, but there are a few things that are well-known. They met on the set of the 2011 movie The Place Beyond the Pines and have been inseparable ever since. Although the couple is not married, they have 2 kids together. In an interview, Mendes said that before she met Gosling, she didn’t want kids. She changed her mind after they got together, as it made “sense for her to have not [just] kids, but his kids.”

13. Tuc Watkins and Andrew Rannells

The pair filmed the movie The Boys in the Band together and started dating shortly afterward. Rannells recalled that when he did not know Watkins super well, the thought that they would end up having a ’showmance’ popped up in his head — and he was right. 3 years later, this couple is still together.

14. Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan

This duo first met on the set of Family Ties where they played each other’s love interests, but it’s their next joint project that made them fall in love with each other. They went on a date when filming Bright Lights, Big City a few years later. They got married in 1988 and have 4 kids together.

15. Rose Leslie and Kit Harington

The Game of Thrones couple fell in love in real life just like their characters did in the series. Rose and Kit met in 2012 on the set and finally said “I do” this year when they got married on June 23.

16. Adam Sandler and Jackie Titone

Adam and Jackie found each other during the filming of Big Daddy. It all started when Adam decided to cast Jackie in the movie, giving her the role of a waitress. This was a small role, but it ended up being a big one in their love life. Even though she couldn’t capture Adam’s attention and heart after the movie’s release, it eventually happened later. And that’s when they both fell in love. 19 years later, they are still in love and together.
