15 Celebrity Couples Who Met On Set

When on-screen chemistry translates to real life - by Jonah Waterhouse

15 Celebrity Couples Who Met On Set

For many actors, actresses and performers, forming fictional romantic relationships for the big screen is just part of the job description.

Some of them, however, end up meeting their significant others on set; whether they're acting directly alongside each other, or if they become acquainted completely by chance.

For example, you probably had no idea that Natalie Portman met her real-life husband, Benjamin Millepied, on the set of the 2011 film Black Swan, where he played her dapper dance partner.

Similarly, Kirsten Dunst met her partner, actor Jesse Plemons, on the set of the acclaimed TV series Fargo, and the two welcomed a young son together in 2018.

Scroll down for every celebrity romance you didn't know began on the set of a film, TV show, or in some cases, a music video.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Pitt and Jolie famously met on the set of the 2004 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and eventually began a relationship. They wed in a surprise ceremony in 2014, before announcing their divorce in 2016.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively

Now one of Hollywood's most beloved couples, Reynolds and Lively met on the set of the superhero film The Green Hornet in 2010. They wed in 2012, and currently have three children together.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher

Kutcher and Kunis met as kids on the set of That '70s Show in the late 1990s. However, it wasn't until over a decade later that they began a romantic relationship, tying the knot in 2015.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied

Portman met her husband, French ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied, on the set of the 2010 film Black Swan, which earned her an Academy Award. The couple now have two children together.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes met on the set of the 2011 film The Place Beyond the Pines, and have been together for eight years. They're also often considered to be one of Hollywood's most private couples.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons

Dunst met her partner, actor Jesse Plemons, on the set of the TV series Fargo, and they officially began dating in 2016.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk

Paltrow met producer Brad Falchuk when she cameo-ed on TV series Glee in 2010. The couple eventually married in a lavish Hamptons ceremony in late 2018.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck began their two-year romance when they met on the set of the critically panned romantic comedy film Gigli in 2002.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd

Before dating Affleck, Lopez dated Cris Judd, a backup dancer she met while filming the music video for her 2000 song 'Love Don't Cost a Thing'. The couple wed in September 2001, before ending their marriage less than a year later.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Like Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd, few people know that one of the first times Kim Kardashian and Kanye West met was on a music video set in the early 2000s. Kardashian told Ryan Seacrest in 2017: "I met [Kanye] I think in 2002 or 2003. He was recording a song with Brandy, and I was her friend. I vividly remember hanging out with him, and then they did a video together, so I'd seen him a few times."

Celebrity couples who met on set

Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder

Depp met Winona Ryder on the set of the 1990 film Edward Scissorhands. Depp later proposed to Ryder (and even got a tattoo in her honour), before they called it quits around 1993.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

Perhaps the most iconic Hollywood power couple, Taylor and Burton met on the set of the 1963 film Cleopatra (while Burton was still married), and wed a year later. They ended up divorcing in 1975, then remarried the same year, before finally ending things in 1976.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

The 2008 film Twilight catapulted both Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson to global superstardom. It also intensified the media attention surrounding their fledgling romance, before they decided to part ways in 2013.

Celebrity couples who met on set

Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse

Reinhart and Sprouse met on the set of the popular teen drama series Riverdale, and began dating in early 2017 (even though some thought the couple had ended their relationship in mid-2019).

Celebrity couples who met on set

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe

Witherspoon met her first husband, Ryan Phillippe, on the set of the 1999 film Cruel Intentions. The pair married in 1999 before divorcing in 2007, and have two children together (including Witherspoon's lookalike daughter, Ava Phillippe).
