Meeting your significant other in life can come in a multitude of different ways from something average to a surprise in your day to romantic “love at first sight”; and the same is true no matter your status or profession. But how have our favorite celebrity couples met each other in their crazy and often busy worlds? We only know some stories that couples have been able to share publicly with press or social media over time, but there are enough interesting backstories out there to be able to discuss this topic some more. Here are the stories of how some celebrity couples first met.
James Cordon and Julia Carey
A couple that has been together for over a decade is the pairing of James Cordon and Julia Carey, who got engaged all the way back in 2010 and have three kids together now. Interestingly enough, this was more a get together of similar ideas at first. Both had spent a lot of time dating which usually led to drinking and having a lot of fun but would be tiring over time. When they met, they both told each other of being tired of dating and the hubbub and they eventually fell for each other via talking over time.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
Ryan and Blake actually played the roles of love interests for their characters in Green Lantern, a movie that came out in 2011. At the time Reynolds was in fact married to Scarlett Johansson and Lively had her own partner. They stayed friends for a really long time, and later on ended up single which led to going on a double date with new partners-during which the two were hitting it off with each other more than their dates! And now the two are married with multiple kids together, many years later.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Back in 2016 when this well-known couple met, it was a blind date! Their mutual friend set these two together on a date, and even though Prince Harry was known and had royal status at the time all Meghan could think was to hope he was nice (having been raised American she didn’t know much about the Royal Family). They hit it off and were already planning another date by the end of their time together, which led to engagement a year later, then marriage in 2018, and later children.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend
We all know about this icon couple at least a little with how outspoken Chrissy Teigen has been both inside the modeling world and more recently about her honest experience with pregnancies, parenting, and more. John Legend has a big singing career, which was how they met! Teigen played a love interest in one of his music videos, then the two went back to his place after and hooked up. While the relationship was casual for quite a while, it turned into feelings.
