We’ve seen them on red carpets and the silver screens, but do we know their love stories? We look at four of Hollywood’s most influential couples and where they met.
CHRISSY TEIGEN AND JOHN LEGEND
Ah, the classic, modern celebrity fairy-tale. Grammy-award winner falls in love with supermodel starring in his music video, they get married and ride off into the sunset. That’s exactly how it went for singer John Legend and model Chrissy Teigen. The pair met on the set of his music video for his hit song “Stereo”. "I just started to fall in love with how engaging and witty and funny she is," he told Entertainment Tonight in 2016. The loving pair are parents to three children, daughter Luna, son Miles, and recently welcomed little girl Esti.
GABRIELLE UNION AND DWAYNE WADE
After being together for many years, actress Gabrielle Union and former NBA basketball player Dwayne Wade are still one of Hollywood’s power couples. The pair, who met in 2007, did not create a relationship buzz until two years after meeting. With the help of his children, Dwayne proposed to Gabrielle and they wed eight months later. The pair use their celebrity status for good and are praised for advocating for the LGBTQ+ community. After a long battle with infertility and suffering many miscarriages, the pair’s daughter Kaavia was born via surrogacy. With their busy careers, raising a family, and even co-authoring a children’s book, these two are the perfect example of couple goals.
MILA KUNIS AND ASHTON KUTCHER
Life imitated art when these two Hollywood stars fell in love. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis famously starred in the hit TV series That 70’s Show together. In the series, Ashton and Mila played love interests, but it wasn’t until years after that the pair got together. Mila admitted later on that her first on-screen kiss with Ashton was her first kiss ever. Now they are happily married with two kids. The perfect showbiz love story!
DENZEL WASHINGTON AND PAULETTA PEARSON
It’s no secret that marriages don’t last long in Tinseltown, but long-time actor-pair Denzel Washington and Pauletta Pearson have managed to make it work. The two first met on the set of the movie, Wilma, in 1977, but didn’t start dating until after seeing each other again at a party the following year. Being together ever since they can certainly teach us a thing or two about love. “There is no secret to the perfect marriage. I have been married for 27 years to Pauletta. Everybody has their ups and downs; we've had ours. It's hard work, you know. But we made a commitment. A spiritual foundation helps everything—marriage, work, peace of mind,” Denzel told The Guardian in 2010. The couple has four children and even renewed their vows in South Africa, in a ceremony officiated by the late Desmond Tutu.
