Jay-Z and Beyoncé
Jay-Z had 99 Problems, but now he’s got 100. Beyoncé spilled the beans, saying she makes a mess of his luxury Manhattan apartment. Before you ask, she doesn’t literally spill beans in his apartment. Bey told Ebony magazine, “I’m a little messy. When I get home… I’m relaxed. I don’t have any shoes on. No makeup. My purse is in the kitchen.”
Beyoncé explained, “He’s very, very organized. I’m extremely organized when I’m working, and I work so much that when I get home, I don’t want to think about anything.”
Pink and Carey Hart
Pink took to social media to air her dirty laundry about her husband, motorbike daredevil Carey Hart, in public. Or should we say dirty dishes? Speaking for all womankind, the pop diva posted an Instagram reel showing a dirty dish in the sink, saying, “Good morning. You guys know that we’re on to you, right?”
She continued, “You know that we know that when you say, ‘Babe, this needs to soak,’ that what that actually means is you’re going to put water in it and walk away and act like it never happened.” You tell ‘em, Pink!
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
After already having one baby girl, James, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were expecting another baby in 2016. When Ryan went on Conan O’Brien’s show, the famously private couple knew the gender of baby number two but hadn’t revealed it to the public.
But Ryan told Conan, “Two under two is tough. Yeah, a lot of estrogen. It’s like an American Girl doll took a s*** on my life.” When he got home, he got in major trouble with Blake for his loose lips.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr
1990s dream team Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Junior have been in love forever, so it may surprise you that Freddie has one pet hate. On the British chat show The Graham Norton Show, Sarah revealed to director M. Night Shyamalan that back in 1999, she and Freddie were watching his movie The Sixth Sense.
20 minutes in, she guessed the famous twist and blurted out the ending, spoiling it for her hubby. As a result, Freddie refused to watch movies with his wife for the next 15 years!
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves
Celebrity couples don’t always tell each other their pet peeves — sometimes, they subconsciously reveal all in interviews. When an interviewer asked Matthew McConaughey’s gorgeous wife, Camila Alves, what she thought of seeing her husband half-naked in Magic Mike, she let her innermost thoughts slip out.
In answer to the interviewer’s question, Camila replied, “That was quite an experience…” Then, after a pause, she gave away what she was really thinking, “With everybody else!” It seems Camila’s pet peeve is sharing her husband half-naked with anyone else. And who could blame her?
George and Amal Clooney
For decades, George Clooney has been most women’s dream. But, it turns out he’s just the same as most other men! The dishy actor admitted Amal was a sports widow — “I watch sports, and it kills her. I got her into March Madness a little, I’m a huge Kentucky fan, so she got into that, but it was enough.”
George continued, “So the next week was the [Golf] Masters, and I’m watching that, and she goes, ‘So every weekend we’re gonna be watching a sporting event?’ I’m like, ‘Actually, that’s how it works.'”
Cardi B and Offset
On-again, off-again rap power couple Cardi B and Offset might be worth $50 million, but the one who wears the pants in the relationship gets annoyed at her husband’s spending habits and wastefulness. “When he buys food, and he don’t eat it; I’m a person that sees … the spending.”
Maybe he should be more like his name and learn to offset his spending! As for Offset, he hates the way Cardi is always, always on her phone, saying, “Every single day, she’s just on her phone.”
Justin and Hailey Bieber
Remember the days when Justin Bieber was a teenage pop star from Canada? And then he went and got all those tattoos and started hanging tough like he was the sixth member of the New Kids on the Block?
Well, it turns out we’re not the only ones who aren’t so sure about his new tough-guy image. His wife doesn’t like it either! In a YouTube Special called Justin Bieber: Next Chapter, the singer revealed he won’t be getting any more neck tattoos at the request of his wife, Hailey.
David and Victoria Beckham
David Beckham has been married to Victoria since 1999, so they’ve had plenty of time to get used to each other’s irritating quirks. Interviewed by his ex-Manchester United teammate Gary Neville as part of his YouTube video series The Overlap, Becks revealed that his fashion-designer wife is “not clean.”
But, Becks also admitted he has bad habits that get on Victoria’s nerves. Her pet peeve is her husband’s constant throat-clearing.
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski
English actress Emily Blunt revealed that she doesn’t like how her husband, John Krasinski “looks so American” when he visits her native country. Appearing on a British chat show, she told him to “lose the baseball cap” if he wanted to blend in with the English countryside.
John followed her advice and replaced his baseball cap with a tweed flat cap, and he “looked like something out of a Guy Ritchie film.” That’s infinitely worse than a baseball cap!
Kelly Ripa and Mark Conseulas
Live with Kelly and Mark host Kelly Ripa recently revealed her biggest complaint about her co-host husband. When discussing the sound of biting into an apple came up, Kelly said, “The sound of Mark chewing fills me with rage.” She then told Mark that he has a “cavernous mouth cavity” and told the audience she sometimes has to leave the house when he chews!
Kelly revealed that when Mark eats peaches, she wants to leave for another state — “I’ll be in New Jersey; call me when you’re done!” she joked.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez first dated in 2002 but eventually married in 2022. When Ben appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show via Zoom, he admitted his wife’s pet peeve, “She would probably want to cultivate brevity in the way I speak.” Then, as if to prove her right, he continued, “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I go on and on and on. I talk in circles.”
However, the cookie crumbles both ways, so when Drew asked Ben his grievances about Jen, he didn’t even pretend to think and instantly had an answer. The Batman actor said, “Jennifer just eats whatever she wants. Whatever she wants. She eats cookies, ice cream, everything.” Annoyed and ever-so-slightly jealous, Ben — who has been known to pile on the pounds — revealed, “She works out. I work out too, but I don’t magically appear to be 20 years old, you know what I mean?”
Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathe
When Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathe from This Is Us appeared on People Now, Ryan revealed her biggest pet hate is when her husband walks around the house in his underwear when they have company. He quickly replied, “It’s my house… I reserve the right to wear my drawers in my house.”
But Sterling got his own back on the red carpet at the 2019 Emmy Awards by saying, “My wife is a nudist, too. Not when there’s company, but she walks around buck booty naked all the time!”
Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky
Elsa Pataky gets annoyed that her hunky hubby Chris Hemsworth often loses track of time, especially when surfing or staying out too late with his friends. But when asked what annoyed him about Elsa, Chris was the perfect gentleman, “Well, if she’s reading this, nothing annoys me about her! I gotta make sure there is a place for me in the bed when I get back home.”
Chris added, “I can be pretty damn stubborn — so can she, which is probably where we tend to butt heads occasionally.”
Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman
Marilyn Monroe famously said, “If you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” And the same seems to go for The Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar star Anne Hathaway.
On The Graham Norton Show, she revealed that when she was losing weight to star in Les Misérables, she often got hangry and would pick fights with her husband. Actor and producer Adam Shulman wasn’t happy about it, but — according to Anne — he’s lucky to have her!
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
Husband and wife team Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel took a Best Friends Quiz on The Tonight Show with Justin’s close friend Jimmy Fallon, and it didn’t go according to plan. In the first two rounds, Jessica knew Justin’s favorite rappers and favorite drink. But, for the final segment, she was peeved to see that Jimmy had also written down Justin’s safeword!
That safeword, by the way, is Pineapple. We knew Justin and Jimy were close, but not that close! Of course, it was a setup. At least, we hope it was!
Prince William and Kate
Even the Royals have their own pet hates. The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton’s biggest grumble about William is him eating pizza on the couch, like a common peasant! On one royal outing — presumably soon after he’d been caught eating pizza — Will spotted some bright yellow couches and joked that he better “keep the pizza off the sofas.”
Kate responded, “You’re a nightmare with that.” It turns out the royals, even the future King of England is a slob, just like the rest of us!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is a modern-day love story against all odds. The young couple are clearly in love and haven’t opened up about their pet peeves. They didn’t need to say anything bad about each other because sometimes a picture or a facial expression paints a thousand words.
Remember in their Netflix special when Meghan mimicked the overindulgent curtsey she performed for the late Queen? Well, watch Harry’s hilariously embarrassed reaction, and tell us that wasn’t his pet peeve!
LeBron and Savannah James
Lebron and Savannah have been together since high school, but she still gets embarrassed when he gets flirtatious. When Savannah posted a picture of her looking stunning at Dolce & Gabbana’s show during Milan’s Fashion Week, King James got flirty in the comments of his wife’s photo…
Lebron wrote, “OK, now you just showing out!!” Followed by eight fire emojis. The comment continued, “Get your a** home now and get what you can’t get in Europe!” We presume he’s talking about Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, which are notoriously hard to find in Italy…
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick might have been married for three decades, but during the pandemic, they had to make some new rules — like wearing pants around the house. Kyra told Jimmy Kimmel, “I want him to do things that he wouldn’t normally necessarily do, and it turns out that I’m always right about those things.”
After leaving their bed unmade one day and then finding rat poop in it, Kyra added, “We will never, ever forget to make that bed for the rest of our lives.”
Stephen and Ayesha Curry
When GQ magazine asked Stephen Curry’s wife, Ayesha, if her zen-like basketball-playing husband ever loses his temper, she admitted his calm persona gets on her nerves. Ayesha admitted she was the one with the temper and said, “He is the nicest, most humble, calm human being.”
Ayesha also said that Steph’s habits of biting his nails, leaving cabinet and closet doors open, and falling asleep in his hoodies are also pet peeves. As for Steph, he told BuzzFeed he hates it when Ayesha leaves the closet messy.
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have been together since 2007, so they know each other inside out. But one room in their house isn’t The Good Place because Kristen has a habit of leaving toilet paper on the seat, which particularly irks her husband.
In an Instagram post, Kristen wrote, “Peeing is such a waste of time, so when I’m in there, I’m just looking to get off as quickly as possible and wrap it up. It’s dark in here!”
Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood
It’s not just the young and inexperienced who wind each other up. After years of friendship and collaboration, country music legends Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood married in 2005. Garth recently revealed his wife’s biggest pet peeve. “I whistle everywhere I go… and it drives her absolutely nuts, and she’s been so sweet to put up with it,” he admitted.
Trisha Yearwood confirmed her hatred of her hubby’s habit, adding — “It’s not like just the occasional whistle; it’s really like a 24/7 thing.”
Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem
Spanish actors Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem have been married since 2010, but she hated that he had to gain weight to play Pablo Escobar in their film Loving Pablo. Of course, Penélope saw Javier bulking up on pasta and chocolate at their home in Madrid. But when she saw him on set, with the added weight and a prosthetic belly, she freaked out.
Javier told People magazine that “she wasn’t happy!” Apparently, Penélope was doubly unhappy when she had to film love scenes with her new, rotund husband!
Cameron and Lauren Speed-Hamilton
Despite her name suggesting so, Lauren Speed-Hamilton didn’t meet Cameron Hamilton via speed dating. Instead, they’re one of the most successful Love Is Blind couples. During the first season of the popular reality TV show, the two asked each other about their complaints, and Lauren revealed one of her boundaries, “Even though I love you, don’t use my toothbrush!”
When Lauren asked Cameron what he didn’t like in the relationship, quick as a flash, he answered, “Not being able to use your toothbrush.”
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly
To be fair to Megan Fox, we imagine there are many things Machine Gun Kelly does that would get on your nerves. But, Megan’s biggest peeve is the sound of his chewing. It’s quite a common affliction, and there’s even a name for it, misophonia from the Greek for noise and hate.
It’s also called selective sound sensitivity syndrome. But, rebellious MKG takes it to another level. He purposefully winds her up by talking in Meghan’s ear while he’s eating or chewing. Nom, nom, nom!
Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham
Nicola Peltz is the daughter of a billionaire businessman and a model. Brooklyn Beckham is the son of an ex-England soccer captain and Spice Girl. So, the Peltz-Beckhams should have lots of practice being the perfect couple. But, they opened up in a recent GQ interview.
Nicola hates how Brooklyn chews ice, bites his nails, and leaves face towels everywhere. Brooklyn said he’s not particularly fond of Nicola chewing with her mouth open or when she leaves her products strewn around the bathroom.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend might be the perfect celebrity couple, but Chrissy shared on Twitter that she can’t stand John’s scattergun approach to scheduling. She explained John is like, “Hey, I’ll take Luna to school today… also I’m going to Washington DC next week.”
Chrissy said, “He will tell me something he knows I didn’t hear and get mad when I am confused later.” It sounds to us like he might be doing it on purpose.
Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone
Melissa McCarthy revealed the thing she hates most about her husband, fellow comedian Ben Falcone on Live Talks Los Angeles. “I find Ben does a very peculiar thing that when we’re in a hurry… if we are running late, Ben turns into this ice-cold molasses turtle. And I’m like, ‘OK, come on, come on, come on, can we get in the car?”
The bubbly actress continued — “And I say this, and I love you desperately, but picking up his keys, he’s like… ” Then Melissa pantomimed her hubby moving in super slow motion. Hilarious!
Zendaya and Tom Holland
Zendaya’s biggest pet peeve with her boyfriend, Tom Holland, is that she doesn’t always understand what he’s saying. Zendaya still isn’t used to Tom’s British accent, especially when he uses Cockney Rhyming Slang. Presumably, when Tom uses rhyming slang, Zendaya picks up her dog and bone (phone) or goes up the apples and pears (stairs) to bed!
But, the beautiful actress and model’s complaints don’t end there. Zendaya also hated when Tom had to grow his hair long for his role in The Crowded Room.
Melissa and Joe Gorga
Real Housewife of New Jersey Melissa Gorga gets under her husband Joe’s skin by constantly ringing him. From the minute they wake up at seven o’clock in the morning. Joe admitted, “If I don’t answer for five minutes, she’s like, ‘Where are you? What are you doing?’”
Melissa hates the way Joe chews with his mouth open — “You’ll have a conversation while you’re eating.” When Joe said Melissa did it too, she responded, “I do it in such a pretty way. You do not. I can see the food in your mouth, and I don’t like it.”
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher
A few years ago, Mila Kunis’ revealed what really wound her up about hubby Ashton Kutcher was something he kept saying. The phrase that got him in trouble was, “We got pregnant.” Every woman out there understands why she got so upset.
Mila went on a rant on Jimmy Kimmel Live, telling her hubby to “stop saying we’re pregnant! You’re not pregnant. Do you have to squeeze a watermelon size person out of your lady hole? No.”
Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger
Jurassic World and The Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt is married to Katherine Schwarzenegger. Despite seeming like a perfect couple, Pratt confessed in an interview with E!’s Jason Kennedy that Katherine “doesn’t like it when I eat the food off her plate.”
In fairness, in the same interview, Chris admitted that his wife had “changed my life for the better in so many ways,” so we’ll let him off just this once.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner
During lockdown, Sophie Turner got upset that her husband, Joe Jonas, was always playing Fortnite. So, the Game of Thrones actress came up with a genius plan to rekindle their affection. They became closer by playing Legos together.
Joe admitted, “My wife and I probably built 10 monstrous Legos. At first, we argued about it, and then it was like, she loves her organization, and it’s completely different from the way I would build it: ‘You do you; I’ll be here for support.”
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
Gorgeous Indian actress Priyanka Chopra and singer Nick Jonas might seem the perfect bedmates, but she revealed he has a slightly worrying habit. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Priyanka divulged that when he wakes up, Nick stares at her. She says she finds it “sweet,” but she also shared that she’s not in love with the idea.
While anyone would be forgiven for staring at Priyanka, it’s a little reminiscent of Chandler Bing’s creepy roommate, Eddie, watching him sleep in Friends.
Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara
Meghan Trainor is, of course, famous for her brilliantly catchy pop song, “All About That Bass,” while her husband Daryl Sabara shot to fame as one of the kids in Spy Kids way back in 2001. Daryl often gets embarrassed when his wife reveals intimate details about their love life in interviews.
But, that’s not the only thing he gets wound up about. He hates it when Meghan burps loudly when she’s taking business calls. Apparently, it’s all about the bass.
Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh
After meeting her on a flight to London, Kelsey Grammer married air stewardess Kayte Walsh. But, now the Frasier actor might regret ever asking for her number as every time he walks in a room, Kayte asks him to do something for her.
He joked on Entertainment Tonight that even if he’s passing through, she’s like, “Ooh, did you say you were making coffee?” Or telling Kesley that their baby’s diaper needs changing. We say don’t knock it if it works!
Seth and Lauren Anne Miller Rogen
Messy partners seem to be a recurring theme, but Seth Rogan says his wife, Lauren Anne Miller Rogen, is on another level when it comes to untidiness. The actor, writer, and comedian says Lauren “doesn’t even perceive mess in the same way I do.” Interviewed by Entertainment Tonight, he continued, “Where I see a mess, she sees no mess.”
On the other hand, Lauren’s bête noire about Seth is that he’s terrible at planning and never has a clue what he’s up to next.
Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine
Not long after Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine got together with Victoria’s Secret Angel, Behati Prinsloo, they went on a break. When Behati appeared on the late Joan River’s show Fashion Police in 2013, the model confessed that Levine had some growing up to do as she was not impressed with his rock n’ roll lifestyle.
Her on-screen revelation must have knocked some sense into Adam because he changed his ways, popped the question, and they’ve been together ever since, welcoming two kids.
Romeo Beckham and Mia Regan
During a recent road trip along California’s Pacific Coast Highway, Mia Regan posted a photo on Instagram of her hugging a tree. Her boyfriend, Romeo Beckham, took to the comment section of her post, writing, “Wish u hugged me the way u hugged that tree.” His words were accompanied by a crying emoji and pleading face emoji.
Mia replied with three people hugging emojis and quipped — “Shut it pls x.” While Romeo was clearly pulling Mia’s leg, people often hide the truth within jokes.
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka took a Couples Quiz for GQ magazine, and the results were hilarious. Neil revealed his life’s pet peeve is when someone shows up to a dinner party with flowers but without a vase. For his next party trick, Doogie Howser, M.D. juggled apples, spat them all over the floor, and told his husband to clean up the mess.
Then, Neil divulged that the last time they acted together on a show — on Uncoupled season one — David hated that Neil had a much bigger trailer. Where’s Sigmund Freud when you need him?
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas
Michael Douglas first became smitten with Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones after seeing her in The Mask of Zorro in 1998. The two bonded over a shared birthday and married in 2000. But surprisingly, it’s not their 25-year age gap that they grumble about — it’s having to share a birthday.
On Live with Kelly and Ryan, the Ant-Man actor revealed, “It sounded very romantic at the time when we first got together. That was the closer — the same birthday. Now, she hates it. She wants her own day, her own time.”
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz tied the knot in 2010, but they very nearly didn’t get together because Alicia hates it when he’s being flashy. She told Marie Claire UK that when they first met, “I thought he was too ostentatious. Honestly, I didn’t really like him that much.”
“Swizz will have the fastest car, the biggest jewelry, the loudest jacket. Everything with him is really over the top. I used to see him and think, ‘He is so annoying.'” Luckily, Swizz Beatz reined in his showmanship and won her heart.
40+ Celebrity Couples Who Happily Ignore Stereotypes and Public Opinion
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness
After meeting on the set of the Australian TV show Correlli in 1995, co-stars Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness quickly fell in love and were married by 1996. While the couple has been happily in love for 25 years, there are some critics of their relationship.
Furness is 13 years older than Jackman, meaning that the couple wed when he was 27 and she was 40. Still, this celebrity couple has never let public criticism get in their way and they’re still happily married to this day with two adopted children.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner
The love that Jonas Brothers member Joe Jonas and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner share is anything but traditional. The couple first met in 2016, going public with their relationship just a few months after they were first pictured together, and they eventually married in 2019.
Before long, the public started making comments about this celebrity couple. During red carpets and paparazzi photos, the public was quick to point out that Turner was taller than Jonas. Turner hasn’t let these comments get to her, as she still rocks high heels whether or not Joe is around.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
This celebrity couple was in two different industries and still managed to find each other. The couple said it was love at first sight when they both met in 2005 at the G’Day USA Gala. They tied the knot in Australia back in 2006.
Despite being totally in love, people have been quick to comment on Kidman’s height. Although it’s subtle, in paparazzi and red carpet photos, Kidman is actually taller than Urban. The couple doesn’t seem to mind as Kidman still adorns fabulous high heels to any upscale event.
Emmanuel Macron and Brigette Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron faced a lot of backlash during his presidential election due to the age gap between him and his wife. It wasn’t just the age gap that had people concerned, it was also how they met. Macron met his wife, Brigette, while she was his drama teacher.
Macron was just 15 at the time, and the couple shares a 25 year age gap. Despite the backlash, the couple has never let these comments get in their way. They were married in 2007, and Macron became stepfather to her three children.
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden confirmed their relationship in 2014, and it seemed like a strange pair to many. Just a few months later, it was announced that the couple had tied the knot at Diaz’s home in January 2015. In January 2020, they announced the birth of their baby girl.
Diaz and Madden are an unconventional celebrity couple who definitely do not stick to stereotypes. Not only is Diaz taller than her beau, but they also got married just a few months after meeting each other. Then again, some people just know when they’ve met the one!
Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone
Leonardo DiCaprio has had one of the most successful acting careers in Hollywood and has dated some high-profile women too. In 2017, DiCaprio was spotted with then 20-year-old supermodel, Camila Morrone. The two are notoriously private and have only made a few public appearances throughout their relationship.
DiCaprio and Morrone often come under fire for their 22-year age gap. However, they don’t let it affect their relationship. Morrone spoke out in The Los Angeles Times in 2019 and said “I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date.” Well, we definitely agree!
Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman
Talent guru Simon Cowell is known for saying exactly what’s on his mind. However, when it comes to his private life, his lips are sealed. It’s probably because the way he and his partner, Lauren Silverman, got together is a little controversial.
Cowell reportedly started dating Silverman in 2009, despite the fact she was married to another man. When Lauren became pregnant in 2013, they were forced to go public leading to a pretty nasty divorce. Although an unconventional start to the relationship, the family is still strong today.
Steven Tyler and Aimee Preston
Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, probably didn’t want to miss a thing with Aimee Preston, his former personal assistant who later became his long-time partner. The two first stepped out together in 2014, and the couple moved in together in Nashville two years later.
The couple faces a lot of backlash due to the fact that Preston is almost 40 years younger than Tyler. However, they haven’t let this stop them and have been dating for seven years now. Preston is said to be close with Tyler’s children, who are her age.
Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy is no stranger to the public eye. Sarkozy was first elected as president in 2007 and served until 2012. He has been married twice before, but it was the third time lucky for him when he met his current wife, former model, and musician, Carla Bruni.
The couple first met in November 2007 and were married just four months later. Not only does Carla stray from tradition by openly admitting that she prefers polygamy to monogamy, but she’s also five inches taller.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
Sometimes, people don’t need to walk down the aisle to show their love for one another. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell never felt the need to say their vows, so they never did. They have been together for almost 40 years, and share a blended family of four children from previous relationships.
Hawn and Russell first met in 1966 but didn’t get together until 1983 when they were filming the movie, Swing Shift. They just show that you don’t always need to put a ring on it to have a happy and healthy relationship!
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart
When Star Wars star Harrison Ford began dating fellow actress Calista Flockhart back in 2002, there were many raised eyebrows. Not just because the Indiana Jones hunk had finally settled down, but also due to the fact that Ford is 22 years older than his partner.
The couple first met at the 2o02 Golden Globes after Flockhart ‘accidentally’ spilled her drink on Ford. Thankfully for her, her plan paid off and the pair were married in June 2009 after seven years together. By ignoring their critics, they have been able to build a strong relationship.
Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld
The story of how Seinfeld star Jerry met his wife isn’t the most conventional. It even resulted in some blowback from the public. Luckily, this celebrity couple was able to look past public opinion and continue to have a happy life together.
Jerry and Jessica met at a Reebok gym in Manhatten in 1998. However, it was unknown to Seinfeld that his future wife had just married her first husband two months prior. The two began a relationship, and after her divorce, they quietly tied the knot in December 1999.
Bruce Willis and Emma Heming Willis
It takes a lot of trust to still have your partner’s ex in the picture, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for Bruce Willis and his wife, Emma Heming Willis. Bruce was previously married to actress Demi Moore for 13 years before they split in 2003.
Seven years later, Willis met Emma and the rest was history. Despite their 23-year age gap, the couple could not be happier. It’s said that Willis, Heming, and Moore along so well that Moore actually moved in during quarantine!
Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova
It’s very rare for a celebrity couple to be so private about their relationship. Since meeting on the set of Iglesias’ music video “Escape,” Enrique and former Russian professional tennis player Anna Kournikova have managed to keep their love and family life out of the public eye.
Between 2006 and 2012, no one quite knows what happened to the couple, as Iglesias likes to joke about “divorcing” Kournikova, despite never getting married during their 20-year relationship. They have shared photos of their three children on their Instagram accounts, but no wedding pictures!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
This is definitely one couple who has shown that they don’t care about the public’s opinion and they’ll do whatever makes them happy. In 2016, Meghan Markle was set up on a blind date with Prince Harry and by the following year, they were engaged!
However, after a storm of abuse and trolling by tabloids and online commentators, the couple decided to take a break from royal duties in 2019. By 2020, the couple announced their intention to take a step back from the royal family so that they could focus on their own growing family.
David Tennant and Georgia Moffett
How this couple met is quite bizarre and full of coincidences. Moffett’s father, Peter Davison, played the fifth reincarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who. Her husband, David Tennant, played the tenth reincarnation of the Doctor! Moffett landed a guest-starring role on the show in 2008, where she met Tennant.
However, Moffett’s character in the show was “The Doctor’s Daughter,” so a little bit Freudian in nature if you think about it! The couple has an age gap of 14 years, but that hasn’t stopped them from becoming the parents of five beautiful children.
Pharrell and Helen Lasichanh
Pharrell’s staple accessory is, of course, his larger-than-life hats that he wears almost everywhere. However, it may just be because he’s looking to make up the two inches that separate him and his wife. Pharrell is 5’9″ — whereas his wife, Helen Lasichanh, stands at 5’11”.
The two first got together around 2007, and welcomed their first child together in 2008. The difference in their height never seemed to impact how they felt about each other as the pair married in 2013. This celebrity couple has been quiet after welcoming triplets in early 2017.
Gwendoline Christie and Giles Deacon
Game of Thrones fans will be happy to know that Gwendoline Christie, who plays Brienne of Tarth, is just as cool as she is on the show. She’s an outspoken feminist, a philanthropist, and also has great fashion sense. However, this could be due to the fact that she’s dating British fashion designer Giles Deacon.
The designer, who created Pippa Middleton’s wedding dress, and the actress have been dating since 2013. Despite their noticeable height difference, Deacon uses it to his advantage and calls Christie his ‘muse.’
George and Amal Clooney
Hearts broke around the world when it was announced in 2014 that Hollywood’s favorite bachelor was no longer on the market. After meeting the barrister at a fundraiser in 2013, the two hit it off and were married after dating for just over a year.
The public was skeptical of how long their relationship would last, mainly because of their 17-year age gap. However, the Clooney’s have shown us that they’ve never been happier, and even welcomed twins into the world in 2017. Their relationship shows that love conquers all!
Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger
Speedy engagements seem to be in at the moment. Celebrity couples will often get married within a few months of popping the question. That was definitely the case for Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger, who were engaged after only dating each other for a few months.
Within two months of getting his divorce finalized with ex-wife Anna Farris, Chris Pratt had popped the question to Schwarzenegger, who obviously said yes! While some people may find it odd they were engaged so quickly, sometimes people just know when they’ve found the one!
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones is no stranger to rom-coms, starring in No Reservations and The Rebound, however, she was probably inspired to be loved up after meeting the love of her life. She met her future husband and veteran actor Michael Douglas in 1998, where Douglas proclaimed he knew they would have a future together.
Despite their 25-year age difference, the celebrity couple has never let it bother them. The two have been happily married since 1999. Although Douglas is the same age as Zeta-Jones’ parents, they say that they never even questioned the age difference.
Jeff Goldblum and Emilie Livingston
Even though he has been married twice before, Jeff Goldblum states that when he met his current wife, former Olympic gymnast Emilie Livingston, at the gym in 2011, he was absolutely entranced by her. In 2014, the two were married, with Goldblum playing the piano and singing for his new bride.
However, when the news broke of their wedding, people had a lot of say about the age difference. Goldblum is 68, whereas his wife is 38, meaning there is a 30-year age difference. They’ve never let this stop them, and have since welcomed two children.
Prince Albert II and Charlene Wittstock
Many people have said that the love life of Prince Albert II, the current Head of State for Monaco, is similar to a soap opera. He enjoyed a number of flings with high-profile women — from supermodels to reality TV stars — before meeting his wife, former Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock.
The pair met while he was presiding over a swimming race in 2000. While their 20-year age difference had never been an issue, it was reported by a French publication just days before their wedding that Wittstock had made multiple attempts to run away after discovering a few things about her future hubby. Oops!
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan
Long before the invention of Facebook and the subsequent billions, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and now-wife Priscilla Chan began dating after meeting in line for the bathroom at a party. After seven years of dating, they finally moved in together in 2010 and quickly tied the knot in a surprise ceremony in their backyard.
Zuckerberg and Chan like to keep things simplistic and private. Even though he owns a social media website, Zuckerberg rarely posts about his family. They don’t show off their wealth in their clothing, opting to keep it plain and lowkey.
Claudia Schiffer and Matthew Vaughn
After marrying her dream man in May 2002, model Claudia Schiffer stated that her husband was everything that she has ever wanted in a man, and that he swept her off her feet. Matthew Vaughn, a film producer, has been balancing work to focus on his wife and children.
Although it isn’t too noticeable in candid pictures, looking at the celebrity couple on red carpets, you can tell there’s a height difference between the pair. While Schiffer is only one inch taller than Vaughn, there are pictures where she leans down to kiss her beau.
Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz
Some couples will say that it was love at first sight, and that’s the sentiment between this next celebrity couple. After around nine months of dating, Tokio Hotel singer Tom Kaulitz popped the question to Project Runway alum Heidi Klum in 2018. Two months later, they were married in a secret ceremony.
While Klum is 17 years older than her husband, and many people question her about it, she doesn’t think about it too much. They even had a second wedding ceremony, but this time in Capri, Italy!
Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder
Some people just know whenever they want to get married! While it might be the norm to wait for a while before getting engaged and then married, actors Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder decided to go for a more fast-paced approach when it came to their relationship.
In July 2014, the pair confirmed they were dating and six months later in January 2015, they confirmed that they were engaged. In April of 2015, they were married and jetted off to Mexico and Brazil for a lengthy honeymoon. They’re still going strong today, and even expanded their family by one!
Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor
This definitely isn’t an American Horror Story! Hollywood actresses Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor have been dating for the last six years, but their relationship story is anything but typical. They first met in 2005 but were dating other people at the time. It would be another decade before they started dating.
When news first got out around their relationship in 2015, people were judgemental about their 32-year age difference. Paulson opened up about their age gap in an interview with Insider, saying that there’s a “greater appreciation of time and what you have together.”
Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin
This celebrity couple came as a shock to many people, fans, and the general public alike. Global superstar Justin Bieber met his future wife, Hailey Baldwin, at a fan event when she was just 12 years old. After many family vacations, they first got together in 2016, however, things quickly fizzled out.
After a brief rekindling of an old flame, Bieber and Baldwin were back together and were engaged by July 2018, just two months after they got back together. They were married three months later in a private ceremony in New York.
Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa
They always say to never meet your favorite celebrity or celebrity crush. However, in Jason Momoa’s case, it all worked out! Momoa first bumped into his childhood celebrity crush, Lisa Bonet, at a jazz club in 2013. After that, they began dating and eventually tied the knot in 2017.
The couple shares two children together, and they even have an amazing relationship with Bonet’s ex-husband, Lenny Kravitz. Still, people are critical of their relationship. There’s a 13-year age gap between the pair — with Bonet aged 53 and Momoa aged 41. However, the couple is obviously happy so people should just let them be!
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’ love story starts the same as most people’s. McConaughey first spotted Alves in a Los Angeles club in 2006. However, they decided to have two children before getting engaged in 2011, even though Alves didn’t say yes immediately.
While the two have a 12-year age difference, this does seem tame in comparison to some other relationships in Hollywood. Their marriage has managed to survive throughout all the twists and turns of family and work balance, so we say they’re still pretty strong.
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin
After a chance encounter at a New York restaurant in 2011, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin had a more traditional start to their relationship. Not the type to kiss on the first date, it was six weeks before the couple knew they wanted to date, and just a few months later, they moved in together.
Since they started dating 10 years ago, the couple has had six children together. However, many have been critical of their 26-year age difference. Both have never let their age difference get in the way of their happiness, and they continue to show off their life on social media.
David Cross and Amber Tamblyn
An almost 20-year age difference didn’t stop actors David Cross and Amber Tamblyn from falling in love. While they had spotted each other in Los Angeles and at different award shows, it wasn’t until they were on the same flight from Houston to Louisiana that they started connecting.
While some may frown upon it, Cross and Tamblyn have actually joked about their big age difference with each other, so they definitely don’t find it odd. 14 years after they first met, Cross and Tamblyn tied the knot and have since welcomed a child together.
Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin
It seems to be the norm for a lot of celebrity couples to have a large age gap, however, this couple has never let their age difference come between them. During the filming of Rocky V, Sylvester Stallone met his future wife, Jennifer Flavin, when she was just 19.
Although they broke up several times, they always found their way back to each other. The 22-year age difference hasn’t stopped them from getting married and having three beautiful children together. This celebrity couple shows us that it’s possible to have a long, happy marriage!
Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher
Eddie Murphy has had a lot of relationships in the public eye and has welcomed 10 children into the world since 1989. However, he has never been one to let public opinion or stereotypes stop him from being himself. It was in 2012 that Murphy was first linked to Australian model Paige Butcher.
While both Murphy and Butcher have managed to keep their relationship private, they’ve shared that they have had two children together — one born in 2016, and another in 2018. Their 19-year age difference doesn’t seem to mean much to this couple.
Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson
What’s a Hollywood romance without a little controversy? In 2008, 18-year-old Aaron Taylor-Johnson met 42-year-old Sam Taylor-Wood on the set of Nowhere Boy. Still, they waited a few months until Taylor-Wood’s divorce was finalized before they started dating. After four years of dating, the couple got married.
There have been legions of Aaron Taylor-Johnson fans on Twitter and TikTok urging him to divorce his older wife, but it’s clear that neither have any intention of breaking up any time soon. Their 24-year age difference may be controversial, but they don’t care!
Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer
This whirlwind romance took the world by storm, even more so given that this celebrity couple had kept their relationship out of the public eye. Comedian Amy Schumer met her future husband, chef Chris Fischer through Schumer’s personal assistant who happened to be Fischer’s sister.
Four days after the pair confirmed their romance, Schumer announced that they had gotten married in a secret, small California wedding after only giving her guests three days’ notice. Their whirlwind romance may not be the norm, but the couple and their baby son, Gene, are happy.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis took 14 years to start dating, but once the couple got together, they knew that they were each other’s soulmates. Kutcher and Kunis first met as castmates in 1998 on That ’70s Show. Kunis was only 14 at the time, but the executives were already so impressed by her talent that she stayed.
Seven years after Kutcher left That ’70s Show, the pair reconnected at the Golden Globes and the rest is history. Their relationship just shows that the right person will come along when you’re ready!
Tina Turner and Edwin Bach
Tina Turner is one of the most iconic artists of all time, but how she met her current husband, Edwin Bach, is even more iconic. Bach was sent by Turner’s record label, EMI, to pick up Turner from Heathrow Airport in 1986. After that, their relationship quickly progressed.
Turner has said in interviews that Bach is younger, with the couple having a 16-year age difference between them. Despite being together since the 1980s, the pair only decided to get married in 2013 during a lavish event in Switzerland!
Billy Joel and Alexis Roderick
While Billy Joel is often the one penning the songs about love and relationships, in reality, the singer has gone through three divorces. However, things have since looked up for the “Piano Man” singer after meeting and marrying his fourth wife, Alexis Roderick, in a surprise ceremony in 2015.
While Joel is 33 years older than his current wife, the pair have never let this difference get in the way of their love. The people around them certainly seem to think they have something special, with Joel’s daughter, Alexa Ray, celebrating the couple on her Instagram page.
Tasha McCauley and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
While some celebrities get together with fellow A-listers, others aren’t bothered. That includes actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who’s married to a scientist. While the stereotype might be that actors get together with actresses or models, that isn’t the case in this situation.
The star married Tasha McCauley in 2014. She has an MBA, a degree in robotics, and is the CEO of GeoSim Systems. Plus, she’s not bothered about showbiz. Gordon-Levitt has said, “She really doesn’t want to be a part of it.”
Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde
There’s always a bit of controversy when it comes to couples with age gaps. This is even more true when it’s an older woman with a younger man. Former One Direction-er Harry Styles has raised eyebrows with some of his former relationships.
Back in 2011, when he was just 17, he dated 31-year-old TV presenter Caroline Flack. Nowadays, Harry is dating American actress Olivia Wilde. She’s a full decade older than the English singer, but it doesn’t seem to bother them.
David Foster & Katharine McPhee
Canadian musician David Foster is definitely used to pushing aside public opinion when it comes to his relationships. The composer and producer got mainstream attention as Yolanda Hadid’s husband on reality series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Fans watched as the couple’s relationship deteriorated, and Foster soon moved on. David Foster and his fifth wife, Katharine McPhee, got married in 2019. The former American Idol contestant and the producer have an age gap of 34 years.
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson
When Kimye called it quits on their marriage, people didn’t know what to expect. Was this for real? Would they get back together? Would they start dating again? Well, Kanye has been seen with 22-year-old model Vinetria, and Kimmy has moved on too.
Surprisingly, it seems that Kardashian is dating comedian Pete Davidson. While the star might not be her usual type, he has dated lots of other famous ladies. Pete’s previous hookups include Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, and Kate Beckinsale.
Mo’Nique and Sidney Hicks
Generally, it’s assumed that people in romantic relationships are monogamous. However, that’s not necessarily the case. In fact, a bunch of celebrities are in rather unconventional relationships. They don’t care about stereotypical husband and wife roles — just what works for them.
Actress Mo’Nique has revealed that she and husband Sidney Hicks have an understanding within their marriage. The couple is always truthful, and being with someone else isn’t a deal-breaker. She explains, “We’re very honest. There are no secrets.”
Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham
The love story between Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham is actually rather magical. The pair met when Dutch-American auto racing driver Arie was cast in The Bachelor in 2017. He ended up proposing to contestant Becca Kufrin, but later regretted it and pursued the runner-up, Lauren Burnham.
Incredibly, these two got married in 2019 and now have three children together. They may have upset all of Bachelor Nation, but at least they got their reality TV ever after.
Tom Ackerley and Margot Robbie
Who knew that actress Margot Robbie was married? We sure didn’t! While some celebrities are particularly public with their relationships, others are very low-key. The Australian actress keeps her marriage pretty private, and rarely posts pictures with her hubby.
Interestingly, Margot Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley were initially roommates. She met the British assistant director in 2013, and then moved with him and several others to London. Eventually, they started dating. The couple tied the knot in a surprise ceremony in 2016.
Nico Tortorella and Bethany C. Meyers
When it comes to defying stereotypes, Nico Tortorella and Bethany C. Myers are right at the forefront. The actor and their spouse Bethany C. Meyers have been together for over a decade. In 2017, they revealed they were in a queer polyamorous relationship.
Both Nico and Bethany’s families uninvited them from Thanksgiving dinner after their announcement. Regardless, they carried on as usual. They have since also come out as gender-fluid in a video with drag queen Trinity the Tuck.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
Listen, if reality stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt cared what people thought about them, they would have disappeared a long time ago. Speidi live for public disapproval — they’re all about the controversy.
Heidi and Spencer first appeared on our screens on MTV reality series The Hills. Heidi ended up picking Spencer over best friend Lauren Conrad, leading to the end of their friendship. The pair have been married since 2008. They welcomed their son, Gunner Stone, in 2017.
Bob Saget and Kelly Rizzo
Here’s another celebrity couple that doesn’t mind defying stereotypes. While it might be more conventional to date someone your own age, relationships with age gaps are pretty common in Hollywood. Comedian and actor Bob Saget married second wife Kelly Rizzo in 2018.
The couple has an age gap of 23 years. Apparently, the star slid into food blogger Kelly’s DMs on Instagram. She has said, “I don’t really see him as Danny Tanner. To me, he’s just Bobby, my love.”
Emily Ratajkowski and Sebastian Bear McClard
While some people worry about what others will think, Emily Ratajkowski isn’t one of them. The actress got hitched to her boyfriend after dating for only several weeks. The gorgeous model married movie producer Sebastian Bear McClard in 2018.
They said “I do” in a New York City courthouse. Emily and Sebastian like to keep their relationship private, and it’s worked for them so far. The happy couple welcomed their son, Sylvester, in 2021.
Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith
Likewise, actor Joshua Jackson and actress Jodie Turner-Smith managed to keep their relationship low-key. While some celebrities want attention for their A-list hook-ups, others prefer to stay out of the public eye altogether. Joshua and Jodie managed to get married without many people knowing they were even an item.
Apparently, this transatlantic couple met at Usher’s 40th birthday in 2018. They got hitched in 2019 and welcomed a daughter the following year. These two aren’t here for public acceptance, just love.
Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner
When it comes to second marriages, things can get a little tricky. What if one partner has kids already? What if they aren’t interested in having more? That’s exactly what went down with actor Kevin Costner and his second wife, model Christine Baumgartner.
Supposedly, the couple broke up before tying the knot because Kevin already had four children and didn’t want more. Now, Kevin is the proud father of seven lucky kids. Three of them are with Christine, who’s 20 years his junior.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk
Would you be surprised to learn that Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow is a little kooky? When the actress was married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, it was rumored they had an open relationship. But, what about her current marriage to writer and director Brad Falchuk?
Well, while the couple lives together now, they didn’t right away. Gwyneth revealed that when they first got married, she didn’t move in with her husband. Instead, they dedicated four days a week to each other while living in separate homes.
Zach Braff and Florence Pugh
When it comes to dealing with public opinion, our next celebrity couple has faced their fair share. Actors Zach Braff and Florence Pugh have a 21-year age difference, which has raised some eyebrows. The English actress has clapped back on Instagram, writing, “I am 24 years old. I do not need you to tell me who I should and should not love.”
This couple met on set when Zach directed Florence. They’ve been together since 2019. However, they still haven’t walked a red carpet together.
Dolly Parton and Carl Dean
When it comes to the most unconventional celebrity relationships, Dolly Parton’s has got to be up there. The country singer and actress has been married to husband Carl Dean since 1966. That’s over 50 years together!
Unlike most famous spouses, Carl Dean doesn’t accompany his talented wife to any showbiz events. In fact, he’s rarely seen at all. Despite this, the couple is very happily married. While Dolly uses her maiden name for showbiz, her passport reads Dolly Parton Dean.
Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn
From one country star to another, next we have singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Much like Dolly Parton, Tay has been keeping her most recent relationship private. While she’s known for writing songs about her famous exes (RIP Jake Gyllenhaal), the star has stayed low-key with boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
Taylor and English actor Joe have been dating since 2016. He’s co-written a bunch of her songs with her, and even landed a Grammy for his efforts. Perhaps secrecy is the secret to happiness for T-Swift.
Ken Jeong and Tran Ho
Like some others we’ve met so far, our next couple is one-half celebrity and one-half regular person. Actor Ken Jeong has always straddled two worlds. On the one hand, he wanted to become an actor and pursued it in college.
On the other, he got a medical degree and became a licensed doctor. Impressive! Now, Ken Jeong is known as an actor, comedian, and TV host. He met his wife Tran Ho during a happy hour for single doctors.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
After years of speculation and rumors, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have finally admitted to having an open marriage. The couple got married in 1997 and are parents to Willow and Jaden.
Will Smith has commented, “For the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose […] We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way.” The star continued, “Marriage for us can’t be a prison.”
Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Martin McDonagh
For English writer and actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, celebrity relationships don’t need to follow stereotypes. For one, they don’t have to be shared with the world or revealed in magazine interviews. Plus, the partners don’t need to be the same age. Sound familiar?
The multi-award-winning star has been dating British playwright and screenwriter Martin McDonagh since 2018. The couple has a 15-year age gap, and Waller-Bridge avoids discussing the relationship in the media. It looks like it’s another low-key love story.
Dennis Quaid & Laura Savoie
Talking of age gaps, our next one is pretty large. Actor Dennis Quaid wasn’t bothered by public opinion when he tied the knot for the fourth time. The star proposed to his now-wife, Ph.D. candidate Laura Savoie in 2019.
The couple has an age gap of a whopping 39 years. The actor has remarked, “I didn’t go out looking for an age gap or someone really younger than me. I met her at a business event and then the relationship developed.”
Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund
Both Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund were in high-profile relationships before getting together. Perhaps that’s why they like to keep their own relationship low-key. Actress Emma was dating actor Evan Peters, and actor Garret was dating actress Kirsten Dunst. They got together in 2019, and welcomed their son a year later.
Despite stereotypes about parenthood and families, Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund are unmarried. The couple is happily raising their son, Rhodes Robert Hedlund, without wedding rings on their fingers.
Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher
It’s safe to say that the stereotype about Hollywood marriages is that they last about two minutes. Most famous actors, musicians, and athletes have had more than one marriage. Plenty have had more than two!
So, it’s actually pretty spectacular to have a long-lasting union amongst all of this. Incredibly, English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and Australian actress Isla Fisher have been together for almost 20 years. They first met in 2002, then got married in a Jewish ceremony in 2010.
Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery
Once upon a time, actress Ellen Pompeo was in the grocery store. She happened to hit it off with a handsome gentlemen and eventually, they lived happily ever after. Amazingly, Ellen and Chris Ivery both came from Boston, but only met when they both lived in L.A.
As well as being from vastly different worlds, Ellen Pompeo and her husband are also very private. They got married in 2007 at New York City Hall and keep their relationship out of the media.
Julia Roberts and Danny Moder
It seems like there’s good news for ordinary people everywhere — celebrities might marry us! As we’ve seen so far, there are a bunch of celebrities that are married or in relationships with regular joes. Or rather, they’re with people that aren’t regularly on a red carpet or being driven by a chauffeur.
Actress Julia Roberts met husband Danny Moder when he was working as a camera operator. The couple got married in 2002. Now, the couple has three children together.
Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble
In Hollywood, it’s fairly normal to see older men with young women on their arms. However, it’s less common to see older women with younger men on theirs. That is, apart from a few exceptions (shout out to Madonna).
Momager and Kardashian-Jenner matriarch Kris Jenner has had some high-profile relationships. She was married to Robert Kardashian Sr. and then to Olympian Caitlyn Jenner. However, since 2014, she’s been in a relationship with Corey Gamble. There are 25 years between the two.
Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley
If we had to come up with a list of stereotypes about rock stars, being a womanizer would definitely be on there. All sorts of rockers have cycled through multiple marriages. And plenty of aging rock stars still date beautiful women in their 20s. But, not Jon Bon Jovi!
The American singer-songwriter has been with his high school sweetheart for decades. The couple got married in Las Vegas in 1989 during a stop on one of the star’s tours.
Lily Allen and David Harbour
We have to say, we’re still shook that English singer Lily Allen is married to American actor David Harbour. When did that happen? Well, the couple first got together in 2019. Then, just one year later, they got married in Las Vegas by an Elvis impersonator. Fun!
As well as being a surprising celebrity combination, Lily and David are a very private couple. Rather than have a splashy public wedding, they had a small ceremony while the world was in lockdown.
Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson
If you were hounded by fans as much as actor Robert Pattinson is, you’d keep your relationships secret too. The English actor’s relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart was splashed all over magazines. This time around, it looks like Robert Pattinson is pushing aside public opinion and doing what suits him.
Robert Pattinson has been dating English actress and model Suki Waterhouse since 2018. Amazingly, it’s rumored that the pair have double-dated with Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn. We need an invite!
Mary Cosby and Robert Cosby Sr.
Surely, reality star Mary Cosby has the most unconventional, stereotype-defying relationship on this entire list. In fact, we’re fairly sure it would be illegal in some parts of the world. Pastor Mary Cosby is a cast member of The Real Wives of Salt Lake City, and she’s married to her grandfather.
To be more precise, when Mary Cosby’s grandmother died, she left Mary her church, her properties, and her husband. So, the reality star inherited her step-grandfather as a spouse.
Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale
This next celebrity couple has been together since 2012, and despite calling each other husband and wife, they have not walked down the aisle yet. Actors Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale met on the set of Annie and have been together ever since.
Even though the pair are in love and have two children together, they have no plans for marriage just yet. They even wear rings and bands on their ring fingers, despite not being legally married. They’re perfectly happy avoiding the traditional route of marriage!
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes
Despite being two of the most famous actors in the world, the paparazzi just can’t seem to pin down the notoriously private Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes. They’re so private that people often have a hard time pinning down when exactly they started dating.
Despite being in a relationship for almost 10 years, and not mentioning that two children they couple already share together, there has never been talk of settling down. In fact, Mendes has stated that she never really wanted to have children before falling in love with Gosling.
Stephen Fry and Elliott Spencer
Perhaps it was inevitable for comedian and actor Stephen Fry to fall in love with another comedian who was on the comedy circuit already. Fellow comedian Elliott Spencer met Fry in 2014 and a year later, the couple tied the knot.
Despite their love, people have criticized their 30-year age difference, with Fry being the same age as Elliott’s father. Elliott has come out against their critics and has said that they don’t care what people think, as Stephen is the love of his life. We wish them all the best!
Elon Musk and Grimes
When this next celebrity couple first confirmed their relationship, many people thought that it was a joke. However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and singer-songwriter Grimes are prime examples of how opposites can attract. The couple first stepped out at the 2018 Met Gala after a few months of exchanging flirty tweets.
Despite their 17-year age difference, and criticisms that Grimes looks like Musk’s daughter rather than partner, the couple has managed to stay together. They famously welcomed their baby son, X Æ A-12, in May 2020 so it looks like they’re in it for the long haul!
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sunny Ozell
Legendary actor Sir Patrick Stewart can’t go anywhere without getting a Star Trek quote or two thrown at him from a random fan or passer-by. However, he often has his wife, Sunny Ozell, by his side. The couple first met in 2008 while Ozell was working as a waitress in New York. In 2013, they married in a ceremony in Nevada.
However, not everyone was happy about their relationship. Ozell’s father was unimpressed by the fact his son-in-law was five years older than him. The couple’s 39-year age difference doesn’t affect their relationship, with Ozell stating that Stewart is “so youthful” so she doesn’t notice the difference.
We all have our pet peeves with our partners, and it turns out celebrity couples are no different. Yes, Hollywood A-listers are more relatable than you thought — they get in trouble for being messy, forgetting their chores, and staying out late. So, join us as we discover which celeb couples’ habits drive each other nuts. Along the way, we reveal which royal eats pizza on the couch and why Jimmy Kimmel is way too close to his friend Justin Timberlake!
