#10: Steve Harvey
Top 10 Funniest Steve Carell Moments
Long before hosting his talk show and being the face of “Family Feud,” Steve Harvey was an aspiring comic. In the mid-eighties, he started his comedy career performing gigs in Ohio. Struggling to make ends meet, his professional and personal career got a bit brighter when he spotted a woman, Marjorie Bridges, in the front row of one of his acts. For Harvey, it was love at first sight. He even interrupted his set to profess his admiration. After dating for a couple of years, the two parted ways and went on to marry other people. However, a surprise phone call in 2005 brought the pair back together, and they’ve been married ever since.
#9: Pat Monahan
Top 20 Celebs Who Got Married in Secret
When Train's frontman, Pat Monahan, performed in a 2004 concert, he probably never expected it would change the course of his life. During the set, the "Drops of Jupiter" singer met his future spouse and fan, Amber Peterson. The meeting happened while Monahan was still with his first wife, Ginean Rapp. Eventually, the two divorced and Pat and Amber tied the knot. Since then, they have expanded their family, welcoming two children and planting roots away from the spotlight in Washington. In an interview, Pat revealed that one of his most popular tunes, "Drive By," is inspired by Peterson giving the song a sweet little personal touch.
#8: Billie Joe Armstrong
Top 10 Things You Didn't Know About Billie Eilish
Green Day’s lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, is known for breaking convention so, it makes sense that he met his future wife in a unique way. After attending a party where his band played, Adrienne Nesser decided to attend his concert in Minnesota. A spark was lit between the pair when they met backstage. After some challenging relationship woes, Billie and Adrienne got hitched in 1994. They quickly started a family when the newlyweds learned they were pregnant immediately after saying “I Do.” Two sons and plenty of rock n roll later, and this couple shows no signs of slowing down.
#7: Conan O’Brien
Top 10 Funniest Conan O'Brien Interview Moments
With razor-sharp wit and impeccable comedic timing, it seems like not much can throw Conan O’Brien off his game. However, during a segment of his talk show in the 2000s, the funnyman was left speechless when he spotted copywriter Liza Powel. Conan became smitten while interviewing her and her advertising firm colleagues for a sketch. After dating for less than two years, the two creatives signed on the dotted line and made their relationship official in a 2002 ceremony. Married for over 20 years now, we’re sure humor plays a significant role in their successful partnership.
#6: Tom Cruise
Top 20 Celebs Who Married Normal People
When celebs Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes began dating in 2005, both the public and press were taken aback. They became Hollywood’s most talked-about couple, and for Holmes, this was a dream come true. She publicly revealed that she had a crush on the “Jerry Maguire” star growing up and even had a poster of him hanging in her room. Between motorcycle entrances and couch jumping, their romance was a whirlwind and resulted in them saying their “I Dos” in 2006. Their marriage came to a halt in 2012, when they separated and divorced. One thing’s for sure, though, Holmes proves that sometimes, vision boards work.
#5: Sofia Vergara
Thanks to her iconic performance on “Modern Family,” Sofia Vergara became a household name in the 2010s. Her comedic timing and infectious personality left an impression on everyone but no more so than “Magic Mike” actor Joe Manganiello. During an interview with “People” magazine, he praised Vergara for her beauty. He must have believed in the power of manifestation because eventually, the two celebs started dating. Talk about putting out in the universe! Soon after their courtship, the drop-dead gorgeous couple married in a lavish ceremony surrounded by 400 of their closest loved ones.
#4: Lisa Bonet
During the 1980s, Lisa Bonet was everyone’s crush, but no one was crushing harder than her one-day husband, Jason Momoa. The “Aquaman” star revealed in an interview that growing up, he was head over heels for the “High Fidelity” actress. Unlike most crushes, his infatuation with Lisa did not fade as he got older. Eventually, when they two met, the feelings became mutual. Getting together in 2005, the pair married in 2017, but we were all saddened to hear that they’d be splitting almost five years later.
#3: Emily Blunt
Top 20 Times Emily Blunt & John Krasinski Made Us Believe in Love
It’s hard to argue that “The Devil Wears Prada” isn’t an entertaining comedy-drama with terrific performances. But does it merit 72 (give or take!) watches to truly appreciate its cultural legacy? John Krasinki certainly thinks so! However, it’s not just the fashion-based flick’s many outfits that he’s into; he’s also a “proper fan” of Emily Blunt. In fact, when they first met, he made sure the actress was aware of his fanboy status right off the bat. By contrast, Blunt was only a fan of the British original of “The Office” then and didn’t know the US version on which Krasinki starred. Despite that, it was still love at first sight, and they got engaged within 10 months. Since their 2010 marriage, the pair have had 2 children and collaborated on several projects.
#2: Justin Bieber
Top 10 Times Justin & Hailey Bieber Made Us Believe in Love
During an interview in 2019 with Vogue, model Hailey Baldwin denied ever being a "superfan" of hubby Justin Bieber due to her teen years. However, there's plenty of hilarious evidence that proves otherwise. From cringe-worthy tweets to photos on the red carpet of Justin's film "Never Say Never," it seems that she was at one time a true Belieber. Living out the dream of Justin's fans across the globe, Baldwin and the Canadian-born pop star tied the knot in September 2018. Sometimes, it pays to meet your heroes.
#1: The Hanson Brothers
Top 10 Celebs You Forgot Were Engaged But Never Got Married
When the Hanson Brothers burst onto the scene in the late 90s thanks to their catchy songs like “MMMBop,” the pop trio amassed a substantial following. Little did they know that their careers would lead them to the altar. As fate would have it, all three brothers met their wives at their concerts. Zac and Taylor met Kathryn Tucker and Natalie Bryant at the same show, while Isaac met his wife, Nicole Dufresne, down the line. They say all good things come in threes, and for the Hansons, that could not be truer.
