Sometimes, Hollywood romance does not stay on screen. Some celebrity couples first met while playing lovers, spouses or even fairytale characters only to discover that their chemistry was just as strong off camera.

From Game of Thrones to Spider-Man, here are some celebrities who found love with their co-stars and eventually got married in real life.

1. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

Acted together in Green Lantern (2011)

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds met while filming Green Lantern, where they played love interests.

Although they were both in other relationships when they first met, their friendship eventually developed into something more. They began dating in 2011 and quietly married in 2012.

The couple now share four children and have become one of Hollywood's most recognisable celebrity couples.

2. Kit Harington and Rose Leslie

Acted together in Game of Thrones (2012)

Kit Harington and Rose Leslie's on-screen romance as Jon Snow and Ygritte eventually became a real-life love story.

The pair met while filming Game of Thrones and began dating away from the cameras. Their relationship eventually led to marriage, with the couple tying the knot in Scotland in 2018.

They now have two children together and continue to keep much of their family life private.

3. Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas

Acted together in Once Upon a Time (2011)

Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas practically lived out their own fairytale.

The two starred as Snow White and Prince Charming in Once Upon a Time, but their relationship did not remain fictional. Their friendship developed into a romance, and they married in April 2014.

They now have two sons together, making their on-screen fairytale surprisingly close to reality.

4. Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley

Acted together in Wuthering Heights (2009)

Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley first met while filming the television adaptation of Wuthering Heights, where they played romantic leads.

Their on-screen connection eventually turned into a real-life relationship. After getting engaged in 2010, the couple married in July 2014.

They have since welcomed two children together and have continued to work on several projects throughout their careers.

5. Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz

Acted together in Dream House (2011)

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz played a married couple in Dream House, but their relationship soon became more than just part of the script.

The two had actually known each other for years before filming the movie, but their friendship eventually became romantic while working together.

They married in a private ceremony in New York in 2011, just months after the film was released.

6. Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem

Acted together in Jamón, Jamón (1992)

Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem first crossed paths while filming Jamón, Jamón in 1992.

Although they did not immediately become a couple, they eventually reunited years later for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Their relationship developed off screen, and they married in 2010.

The couple now have two children together and have continued to build successful careers in Hollywood and Spanish cinema.

7. Tom Holland and Zendaya

Acted together in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Tom Holland and Zendaya first met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming, where they played Peter Parker and MJ.

Their friendship eventually developed into a romantic relationship, and the pair confirmed their relationship publicly in 2021.

After getting engaged in 2024, the famously private couple kept details of their wedding away from the public eye. In June 2026, Holland confirmed that they were already married, saying his family had been present at the wedding.

The couple have continued to keep their relationship relatively private, even as they return to the screen together in the Spider-Man franchise.

8. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher

Acted together in That '70s Show (1998)

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher met when they were teenagers while starring as Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso on That '70s Show.

Interestingly, they did not start dating during the show's run. Instead, the two reconnected years later as adults and began dating in 2012.

They became engaged in 2014 and married in 2015. The couple now have two children together.

Their story is a reminder that sometimes your future partner can be someone you have known for years even if you do not realise it at the time.
