As I delve into these heartwarming tales of love and serendipity unfolding on the silver screen, I can’t help but marvel at the intricate dance between fate and fortune that brings these two pairs together.


Ariana Grande is making audiences break free into fits of laughter.

During her hosting stint on October 12th for Saturday Night Live, the artist known for “Boy is Mine” displayed her comedic talents across various viral skits. However, it was a particularly funny segment that caught the attention of Ariana Grande’s boyfriend, Ethan Slater.

In a drawing from the Renaissance period, Ariana took on the role of Antonio, an Italian boy with a bob cut hairstyle, who was portrayed by Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg as parents who revealed they had performed a procedure in his past to preserve his falsetto voice.

The sketch left a strong impression on Ariana’s close friends, including Elizabeth Gillies. Following the show, she posted celebratory messages on Instagram with behind-the-scenes photos of Ariana in costume, expressing her congratulations and admiration with the caption, “Well done on another fantastic SNL performance, my dear friend! And Little Antonio – I’m left speechless.

Regarding this matter, Ethan – who’s been with Ariana since July 2023, having met on the set of “Wicked” – added his thoughts to Elizabeth’s post, saying “Live, Laugh, Little Antonio.

Besides expressing his backing for his partner on social media, the SpongeBob actor also showcased his support in various other places as well.

After the show, Ariana, Ethan, and Elizabeth were reported to have attended the SNL afterparty at New York’s L’Avenue at Saks, according to various sources. The couple apparently evaded the paparazzi outside the restaurant, but reveled with other celebrities, such as SNL actor Colin Jost, his wife Scarlett Johansson, and the night’s musical guest Stevie Nicks. A source shared this information with People magazine.

In a joyful and encouraging display during their uncommon public outing, Ariana has acknowledged the challenges she’s faced in her relationship with Dalton Gomez, which became more apparent when both Ariana and Dalton’s former spouses, Lilly Jay, went through divorces.

In her interview with Vanity Fair, published on September 30, Ariana expressed disappointment at seeing numerous individuals embrace the most disheartening version of it. She certainly had a challenging time dealing with that situation.

But despite the allegations about Ethan’s character, Ariana is sure of his goodness.

She went on, stating, “There’s no portrait more misleading of a person than the one the tabloids present about him. No one exerts themselves more or stretches themselves more thin to support the people he cherishes and cares deeply for.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d say it this way: Having had romantic involvements with Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams during my acting days, I found myself drawn to Eva Mendes on the set of “The Place Beyond the Pines.” Since our relationship began in 2013, we’ve opted for a more private lifestyle, choosing to keep our love story largely out of the limelight.

Since then, the pair have been blessed with two lovely daughters – Esmeralda, aged 8, and Amada, aged 6. Furthermore, Mendes has shared insights into how dating Rachel McAdams, star of “The Notebook”, influenced her perspective on being a mom.

The New York & Company designer shared on Sydney’s Nova 96.9 in October 2020 that she had worked extremely hard for 20 years. She never desired children before, but fell in love with Ryan, which led her to start a family at the age of 40 and then again at 42. In essence, she managed both a successful career and her family life.

And she’s not ruling out a future on-screen collaboration with Gosling. 

She shared with TopMob News that she eagerly looks forward to collaborating with Ryan once more. Her favorite memory was sharing the set with him while he was directing, as it was immensely rewarding creatively and his directing skills are simply outstanding. Without a doubt, she’d relish the opportunity to have that experience again.

Since they began dating on the set of “The Voice” in November 2015, these singers have been almost constantly together.

It appears that Shelton and Stefani’s relationship, which started when they both went through the end of their marriages, seemed strong and powerful right from the beginning.

During an interview with Billboard, Shelton reminisced about his deep affection for the singer and explained that they mutually supported each other during tough times. In his own words, “Gwen was my savior.” He added, “Who else in the world could comprehend going through a high-profile divorce from another well-known musician?

Five years into their relationship, Shelton proposed in October 2020, and they exchanged vows during a private wedding in July 2021.

As reported by Carson Daly, who acted as the officiant at their wedding, the ceremony was a harmonious mix of rustic charm and elegant sophistication.

He stated to Today, “It was as sophisticated, classy, and stylish as Gwen is, yet it had a rustic, homespun, and fun vibe like Blake. Together, they just fit perfectly. They may seem an odd match, but they do work – it’s like serving succulent fried chicken with champagne. It doesn’t make sense on paper or on the menu, but it does work. They embody comfort food with elegance, and everyone supports them.

In 1995, the two individuals who would become a cherished pair first crossed paths as they portrayed romantic leads on the widely watched daytime soap opera, “All My Children.” Later on, May 1, 1996, the well-known morning talk show host and the famous actor from “Riverdale” hurriedly got married in Las Vegas.

Consuelos realized quite quickly that Ripa was his match. He once shared on Andy Cohen’s show “Watch What Happens Live,” saying, “Whenever we went out with groups from work, the number of people gradually decreased until it was just the two of us. I was reserved back then; I wasn’t very assertive.

But Ripa revealed the couple almost split before their wedding.

She explained on the “Comments By Celebs” podcast in 2018 that after they had split up, they reconciled and then quickly ran off to get married in Las Vegas instead of going through with their original plan to elope elsewhere. In simpler terms, they rekindled their relationship and decided to secretly tie the knot in Las Vegas rather than following their initial plan for a traditional elopement.

27 years on and three children later, their marriage remains robust. Notably, Ripa and Consuelos have returned to working together, with Consuelos taking over as Ripa’s permanent co-host on Live in April, following Ryan Seacrest’s departure from that role.

Since Jennifer’s Body star crossed paths with the rapper on the same film set back in 2020, she felt from the beginning that this connection was meant to be a rare and extraordinary “one-of-a-kind” love story.

Discussing with the director of “Midnight in the Switchgrass”, Randall Emmett, on their podcast in July 2020, Fox remembered asking who would be filling an empty chair on set. Emmett replied, “Oh, we just got Machine Gun Kelly,” which immediately made Fox feel uneasy because she sensed that some unexpected events were going to occur between them, although she wasn’t exactly sure what would happen. She could sense it in her gut that something significant was going to develop from that encounter.

Back in late 2019, Fox, previously married for nine years to Brian Austin Green, started referring to someone else as her “twin flame.” She implied that this person is not just a soul mate but holds a deeper, unique connection with her.

They’ve openly displayed their affection towards each other in many ways: Fox appeared in Kelly’s music video, they both got tattoos symbolizing their relationship, walked their first red carpet together, and announced their engagement in January 2022.

Despite rumors of a split arising in February following Fox’s now-removed Instagram post addressing cheating accusations against Kelly, the pair remains united.

Just like Jon Snow found himself drawn to Ygritte on the “Game of Thrones” set, Harington developed feelings for his fellow cast member after she joined the series during its second season. In an interview with Vogue Italia, he named those scenes as his most cherished moments from the show.

He expressed, “The country is stunning, the Northern Lights are captivating, and that’s where my heart was won.” Alternatively, when one is drawn to an individual, and they later portray your romantic interest on screen, it becomes effortless to develop feelings for them.

Despite the unsuccessful portrayal of their romantic relationship on screen, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie tied the knot in June 2018 and have since become parents to two children, whose names remain private.

In the film “Changeland” from 2019, the actors known for starring in “Home Alone” and shows on Disney Channel crossed paths. Their blossoming relationship took their director, Seth Green, by surprise; he expressed this to Esquire saying, “I certainly didn’t anticipate that.

Entertainment Tonight was informed by Song that they connected due to their mutual experiences as young performers. In her words, “When you look into each other’s eyes, there’s a silent understanding; it’s like we both recognize it.

Since the year 2022, this pair of lovebirds has welcomed two bundles of joy into their family: Their firstborn, a two-year-old lad named Dakota Song Culkin, and a second baby boy, who joined them last March but is yet to receive his name.

The pair encountered each other during the filming of Netflix’s “Sex/Life,” where they portray the characters Billie and Brad, an estranged couple. This explains why their steamy scenes together are so passionate. Shahi and Demos confirmed their relationship in December 2020, delighting fans with their sweet public displays of affection on various social media platforms.

In my line of expertise, I’ve found that blending work and romance can be a delightful endeavor. To quote myself, collaborating with my partner has become one of the highlights of my professional journey. He, being one of my all-time preferred collaborators, is much like a cherished scene partner in my life’s production.

She said, “Working with him makes things incredibly simple,” she expressed. “All I need to do is glance at him, and it feels like most of my tasks are already accomplished. I find myself enamored not only with the real-life individual but also with the on-screen persona. There was something special that filtered through the lens, which might be what people adored so deeply.

In the realm of enchanting storybook love, Dallas and Goodwin found it while acting as Prince Charming and Snow White on ABC’s popular fantasy series, “Once Upon a Time.

“It hit me like a blinding light,” Dallas told People in 2012. “I thought, ‘I’m in trouble now.'”

As for Goodwin, she knew Dallas was the one when they went on their first date to Disneyland.

In a heartfelt conversation with Kelly Ripa, I shared how I instinctively knew our wedding would take place at Disneyland. You see, it was our very first visit together, right at the beginning of our relationship. As we rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Josh let out a joyous shout, “This is the best day of my life!”, and in that moment, I thought to myself, “We’re absolutely going to get married here.

In October of 2013, Dallas proposed, and Goodwin got married in April of 2014. They are the proud parents of sons Oliver, who is now 9 years old, and Hugo, who is 6. The actor from Manifest is looking forward to collaborating with his wife again, having worked together on OUAT for six years.

He expressed, on the show Live with Kelly and Ryan, that she is exceptional. He shared his longing to collaborate with her daily. He jokingly commented that she might have said something like, “We’ve worked together and cohabited for six years; I need a break.” However, he expressed optimism about future collaborations, expressing his hope that they will work together again.

Initially, there was no strong attraction akin to love at first sight between The Americans co-stars when they initially crossed paths, a decade prior to their collaboration on the critically-acclaimed FX espionage series.

He admitted during his appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” that we had known each other for quite some time in the past. In fact, when she was young, unattached, and rather slim, I boldly asked for her number while I was inebriated, which means I had a sense of our connection even at the age of 26.

After about a decade and many wigs, Rhys and Russell started secretly dating in the year 2014 while portraying married KGB agents. In May 2016, they had their first child together, a son named Sam. Russell is also a parent to two children from her previous marriage – River Deary, her son, and Willa Deary, her daughter.

While they recently teamed up to play Santa and Mrs. Claus for Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles, the beloved Hollywood pair first met on the set of 1968’s The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band.

However, they didn’t develop feelings for each other until they reunited during the filming of “Swing Shift” in 1984. Contrary to what Goldie Hawn had told BBC News, both of them had sworn off dating actors. After this, the pair appeared together in the romantic comedy “Overboard,” released in 1988.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: Russell and Hawn have been my partners for four decades. We are fortunate to share son Wyatt Russell, while also having children from previous relationships – Oliver, who is mine, and the remarkable Kate Hudson and Boston Russell, who belong to other chapters of our lives.

Asked their secret for working well with each other, Russell quipped to TopMob News, “Do it every 33 years, first of all!”

Following their engagement in 2018, they tied the knot the following year at Goldie’s residence in Aspen. As reported by TopMob News, it had a Western theme with guests donning cowboy hats and boots. It was more of a laid-back, extended family and friends event that spanned across the entire weekend.

Well, at least one good thing came out of the universally panned Fantastic Four reboot in 2014.

Mara and Bell developed feelings for one another while working together on the set of their superhero movie, but it wasn’t until they were seen holding hands at a Met Gala after-party in May 2015 that dating rumors started circulating.

Following their wedding in July 2017, Bell expressed to TopMob News that it seemed as if they had been married for a long time already, but in a fantastic way. They were really enjoying themselves.

At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, this unassuming couple walked their first red carpet event together. In the year 2019, they secretly took their relationship to the next level by getting engaged. During the Oscar ceremony for Best Actor, the star of The Joker became emotional and publicly acknowledged Mara with a heartfelt shout-out.

1993 found me, a heartbroken soul, stepping onto the set of “Pontiac Moon.” Love? Not a thought that crossed my mind back then, both stars and I bearing the scars of shattered unions. Little did we know, destiny had other plans for us on this silver screen adventure.

In a sober tone, I shared with my closest companions that I had decided to step away from romantic entanglements, but fate had other plans. It was on set, where we portrayed a married couple, that I found myself captivated by this extraordinary individual. My co-star, Danson, confided that it was during a canoe scene that our connection truly blossomed.

According to Danson, our strokes harmonized perfectly. Initially, we embarked on this journey as companions, but upon returning, something profound had developed between us… Isn’t it fascinating how life tends to work in those instances? When you let go and embrace the flow, opportunities often find their way to you.

In October 2020, they marked their 25th wedding anniversary, and the Book Club actress shared with Closer magazine that she is deeply smitten: “I’m absurdly in love with him. I find him endlessly captivating. He constantly amazes me, but most importantly, he never fails to make me laugh.

Following the completion of the Hulu drama “Tell Me Lies”, many viewers found themselves questioning whether the onscreen chemistry between Van Patten and White extended off-camera. The duo certainly seemed to fuel this speculation with their coy responses in interviews and on social media, living up to their will-they-won’t-they dynamic. However, by November of last year, we received confirmation: contrary to any rumors, the troubled onscreen couple is indeed an item in real life, thankfully without any toxicity involved.

At the 2022 CFDA Awards, White publicly acknowledged their relationship through a series of photobooth photos, one of which showed them kissing as co-stars.
