Matthew McConaughey – Camila Alves
Famous actor Matthew McConaughey met his future model and actress Camila Alves at a bar, and it was not love at first sight, at least for her. She told Access Hollywood, “We had two interactions at the bar. During the first interaction, I did not know who he was. At the time, he had a really long beard, and he had this Rasta hat. He was covered up, and I didn’t really realize who he was.”
Apparently, McConaughey managed to win her over because they began to date, had two children, and then married in 2012. They have since had their third child, and all of them live happily together in Austin, Texas.

They fell in love while filming, prompting Newman to divorce his wife at the time, Jackie Witte.
They married that same year, had three children, and celebrated 50 years of marriage before Newman passed away in 2008.

We could talk to each other, we could talk to each other about anything without fear of ridicule or rejection. There was trust.”

She moved in one year later, and they were married in 1967. Their daughter, the late Lisa Marie, was born the following year. Due to Elvis’ prolonged absences and rumors of Priscilla being unfaithful, Elvis filed for divorce in 1973. They remained close until his death several years later.

He told The Sydney Morning Herald, “Everyone was divorced in my family, so I didn’t have very healthy ideas about marriage.” Their daughter, Emmeline, was born in 2005, and their son, Joseph, was born in 2014. They are still happily married almost two decades later.

They dated for six years and then married in 1988 in an intimate ceremony with five media helicopters trying to get some footage. They had one son, and for a while, things seemed to be going well. However, just five years later, they filed for divorce.
The whole thing became a media circus, and it took them over two decades to finish sorting out their finances. Accusations were lobbied by both sides, and Reynolds summed things up by telling People that he shouldn’t have married an actress, saying, “That was a really dumb move on my part.” Sadly, Reynolds passed away in 2018.
Colin Firth – Livia Giuggioli
Beloved British actor Colin Firth was sitting on the steps of an old church in Columbia when he saw Livia Giuggioli walking through the crowd. He said it felt like “...a bolt to the heart.” She had never heard of him before they met that day. They married in 1997 and have been together ever since.
The couple has two sons, Luca and Matteo, and Firth has an older son named Will from his five-year relationship with actress Meg Tilly. Firth is still an in-demand actor and won an Oscar for his performance in 'The King’s Speech,' and Livia is a documentary film producer and environmental activist.
Sylvester Stallone – Brigitte Nielsen
While at the height of his "Rocky" fame, Sylvester Stallone left his first wife to marry Brigitte Nielsen, a model, and actress whom he had only known for a few months. Nielsen was only 22 when they married and recently talked about the experience with Oprah, saying, “The biggest misconception, while I was with Sylvester, was the fact that everybody thought I married him because of money. They didn’t understand that he begged me to marry. He begged me!”
However, the two couldn’t manage to make it work and got divorced just two years later. The divorce turned ugly, and Nielsen was forced to move back to Europe to find work. Since then, both she and Stallone have found love again and have been married to their latest partner for over a decade.

Despite the fact that they grew up only 20 minutes from each other, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris only met for the first time in 2007, on the set of "Take Me Home Tonight." She was married when they met but separated shortly after, in 2008.
From that point on, Anna and Chris became inseparable. They tied the knot in 2009 and have a son together named Jack. The whole world was saddened by their split in 2018, but they are still close and have made co-parenting their priority. Pratt has since married Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daughter, Katherine, and Anna is dating Michael Barrett.
Johnny Depp – Lori Anne Allison
Johnny Depp’s love life has always been a media obsession, but his first marriage to makeup artist, Lori Anne Allison, took place in 1983, when he was just 20 and not yet famous. Allison, who was 25 then, helped Depp get his first big role in "A Nightmare on Elm Street." The marriage lasted for three years, and Depp’s next marriage, to Amber Heard, took place nearly 30 years later.
However, despite all the time that had passed and the fact that the end of their marriage was described as a catastrophe when Heard claimed that Depp was violent with her, Lori Anne spoke out. She told journalists that he was a “gentle guy” and that he never laid a hand on her and went on to say she didn’t believe the allegations.
William Shatner – Elizabeth Martin
The "Star Trek" icon was married three times before he found love with his current wife, Elizabeth Martin. He had three children with his first wife, Gloria Rand, spent over twenty years with his second wife, Marcy Lafferty, and lost his third wife, Nerine Kidd, in a tragic accident just two years after they were married.
Despite their 27-year age difference, Shatner and Martin connected over their love of horses. They married in 2001 and are still happy together. The pair even wrote a song together for Shatner’s album "Has Been," titled “Together.” The lyrics state, “We are not alone, not unloved, together.” It sounds like, for him, the fourth time really is the charm.
George Clooney – Talia Balsam
Hollywood hunk, George Clooney, dashed many women’s hopes and dreams in 2014 when he married Amal Alamuddin. What many of us have forgotten is that it was not his first marriage. He married actress Talia Balsam in Las Vegas in 1989.
They divorced in 1993, and Clooney talked about the marriage to Vanity Fair, saying, “I just don’t feel like I gave Talia a fair shot.” These days, they are both happily married, just not to each other. George and Amal have two kids, and Talia is married to fellow “Mad Men” actor John Slattery, and they have one child.
Gene Simmons – Shannon Tweed
The name Gene Simmons is almost entirely synonymous with the name of the band he founded, Kiss - which is perfectly understandable. The co-lead singer and bassist was dating former model and actress Shannon Tweed, for 28 years, before finally popping the question on his reality show, "Gene Simmons Family Jewels."
They tied the knot in 2011 in Beverly Hills and have never looked back. They have two grown children, Nick and Sophie. Due to the fact that these two have been together for almost four decades (quite remarkable, right?), we are hopeful that their love will last forever and beyond.

They tied the knot in 1991, and although they did not have children, Betsy became the stepmother of Gene’s kids from his previous marriage. The couple are still together and live in New Mexico. From their pictures, it is clear to see that they are still deeply in love all these years later.

About his long marriage, Denzel has said, “I think that you have to work at it. Not give up on each other. It’s a commitment. It’s not all the honeymoon, it doesn’t last forever, so you work at it. And hopefully, you’re good friends first, that might help!”

In an interview, Crowe said, "I've loved Danielle Spencer since 1989—that's never going to change—and that's one of those things where I stare at her and go, ‘How did it fail?' I still can't work it out because my feelings for her have never changed."

Reality star Jase Robertson is best known for sharing his work and family life with the world on the A&E hit program, "Duck Dynasty." He is the COO of the Duck Commander business, an innovator, and a professional duck hunter, among other things. But his personal life is also worth documenting.

He married actress and producer Jane Hajduk in 2006, and they also have one child. It seems that she was able to live with the many jobs Allen had over the years as the one and only Buzz Lightyear. He seems to have learned his lesson and is a much more loving husband and doting father the second time around.
Sean Penn – Madonna
It may be hard to believe, but Sean Penn and Madonna used to be married. At the time, they were the ultimate celebrity power couple, but four years later, after a tumultuous relationship, they decided to separate. If even half the rumors that were circulating about their relationship were true, that seems like a wise decision.
They both went on to have extremely successful careers. Penn married actress Robin Wright, and the two ended up having two children together, but their marriage also ultimately ended in divorce. Madonna married director Guy Ritchie, and they also had two children and eventually separated.
Michael Caine – Shakira Baksh

An ad executive they both knew made the introductions, and the two began dating and fell in love. They married in 1973 and have one daughter together named Natasha Haleema.

The two keep their relationship low-key and try and stay away from the media. Over the years, there have been rumors of infidelity and partying, but the two have weathered the storms. Although they have not been confirmed, there is talk of an engagement taking place in the near future. We wish nothing but luck to the happy couple.
Tom Cruise – Mimi Rogers
Tom Cruise has three marriages and three divorces under his belt, is it any wonder that not many people remember that his first wife was Mimi Rogers? Tom and Mimi met at a dinner party in 1985 and tied the knot in 1987. They were together for two years before separating, and their divorce was finalized in 1990.

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is known to some as Iceland’s strongest man, but most everyone else knows him from his appearance as The Mountain on the TV show "Game of Thrones."

He met his wife Kelsey Henson in Canada when she was working as a waitress and asked him for a selfie.

Sadly, the two never made it much past the honeymoon. By May 2007, they had filed for divorce, and it was finalized that November. “It was just something that happened,” Cooper said when talking about the marriage. “The good thing is, we both realized it. Sometimes you just realize it.”

Harrison Ford - Mary Marquardt
The handsome star of the "Indiana Jones" film franchise has been seen with wife Calista Flockhart, for decades, which is why it’s easy to forget that Harrison Ford was married to two other women. Before he became Han Solo and Indiana Jones and basically made himself into one of the biggest stars in Hollywood history, Harrison Ford married college sweetheart Mary Marquardt in 1964.
The couple had two children and stayed together for over a decade, finally separating in 1979. However, the two remained amicable and went on to become very successful in their own rights. Mary is a famous chef nowadays.
Alec Baldwin – Kim Basinger
Alec Baldwin definitely has good taste in women, seeing as his first wife was the blonde stunner Kim Basinger. His second wife? Young yoga instructor Hilaria Baldwin, with whom he has eight children.

Heartthrob Ryan Reynolds has become a Hollywood A-lister in the last two decades, landing huge roles in box-office hits. Most notably his meta role as the annoying-yet-charming Deadpool. Not to mention he’s also landed one of the most gorgeous women alive – Blake Lively.
But before Lively, Reynolds was mad about another drop-dead gorgeous blonde – Scarlett Johansson. The two got married in 2008 and stayed together for three years. Fun fact: before Scarlett, Reynolds was engaged to none other than Alanis Morrissette. He really has put together his own Mount Rushmore of household names when it comes to the love department.
Jeff Goldblum – Patricia Gaul
Actor and musician Jeff Goldblum has had a stellar career in Hollywood. Starring in films like “Jurassic Park” and “Independence Day” certainly earned him a spot in the industry – not to mention the huge paychecks. Nowadays, Jeff is married to Olympian gymnast Emile Livingston, but he was married twice before.
Jeff’s first wife was actress Patricia Gaul, his co-star in “Silverado.” They got married in 1980 and divorced six years later. In 1987, Jeff married gorgeous actress Geena Davis. Despite having such a stop-start time in the love department, Goldblum has become something of a silver fox later on in life and continues to work in some of the biggest movies until this very day.
Charlie Sheen – Donna Peel
It’s hard to believe that Charlie Sheen has only been married three times. This Hollywood party animal is famous for his reckless lifestyle, but apparently, he was still able to commit. At least for a little while.
While everyone remembers his four-year marriage to stunning beauty Denise Richards or his most recent three-year run with actress Brooke Mueller, the first lady in Sheen’s life was actress Donna Peele. Sheen and Peele met in the mid-90s on the set of a cigarette commercial they were both acting in. A month and a half later, they got married. And it lasted exactly one year.
Steve Martin – Victoria Tenant
You would be hard-pressed to find a more talented comedy genius than Steve Martin. Along with this partner in crime Martin Short, there really aren't many more people as funny as this guy. He’s been making us laugh since the late 1970s, and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.
From classic comedy movies like “Father of the Bride” and “Out of Towners” to his new sitcom “Only Murders in the Building,” Martin has proved he can do anything. Before marrying talented writer Anne Stringfield in 2007, Steve Martin married British actress Victoria Tennant in 1986. They divorced in 1994, and Steve stayed single for thirteen years!
Charlie Hunnam – Katharine Towne
British actor Charlie Hunnam is arguably one of the best-looking actors in Hollywood and one of the most talented as well. After making his debut in “Green Street Hooligans” and then in the famous TV show “Sons of Anarchy,” Hunnam seems to be steadily climbing the fame ladder.
But before he was famous, it turns out that a young Hunnam went to an audition for a part in the hit 90s series “Dawson’s Creek." There he met fellow actress Katharine Towne, whom he married in Las Vegas in 1999. Not surprisingly, the two divorced three years later, with Hunnam saying that the marriage was “terrible, painful, and expensive.” Ouch!
Gary Oldman – Lesley Manville
Originally a theater actor, British gentleman Gary Oldman made his silver screen debut in 1986 in his role as rockstar Sid Vicious in “Sid and Nancy.” Since then, Oldman has become one of the best actors Hollywood has ever seen. As for his love life, he’s quite the Casanova. This gentleman has been married four times, once to fellow actress Uma Thurman!
But his first wife was actress Lesley Manville, whom he married in 1987. They had a son two years later, and three months after his birth, Oldman left Manville and fell for Thurman. Outside of his eventful love life, Oldman went on to win Best Actor in 2018 for his role as Winston Churchill in the movie "Darkest Hour."
Swizz Beatz – Mashona Tifrere

Before he married fellow Grammy-winning musician Alicia Keys, he married songwriter Mashona Tifrere.
The couple met in the early 2000s after collaborating on a project and got married in 2004. Their marriage lasted only four years, and they had a son together. These days though, Beatz loves nothing more than showing off his immensely talented wife Alicia Keys to the world, whether that be on the red carpet, at awards events, or simply on social media.
Nicolas Cage – Patricia Arquette
Oh, Nick Cage, has there ever been a more talked-about celebrity? This brilliant actor has been married four times and is still not giving up on love. Before he married Lisa Marie Presley and actress Alice Kim, he was married to actress Patricia Arquette.
The couple met in the mid-90s and tied the knot in 1995. They had six happy years together before calling it quits in 2001, but it seems Nick didn’t wallow for too long, as he married Elvis Presley’s daughter a year after. His most recent commitment was his marriage to makeup artist Erika Koike in 2019, but the marriage was annulled shortly after.
Frank Sinatra – Nancy Barbato
It’s not hard to see how the dashing, blue-eyed Frank Sinatra managed to get married four times. The swoon-worthy crooner and Rat Pack singer Sinatra first married his childhood sweetheart, Nancy Barbato, in 1939. After 12 years of marriage and three kids, they decided to file for divorce in 1951.
Sinatra went on to marry the Hollywood beauty Ava Gardner, which only lasted six years. Then he tied the knot with actress Mia Farrow and called it quits after two years. Finally, “Ol’ Blue Eyes” married model Barbara Marx in 1976 and stayed with her until his death in 1998.
Marc Anthony – Dayanara Torres
Grammy-winning singer and actor Marc Anthony has become the world’s king of salsa music. And just like his music, Anthony seems equally seductive in real life. The first lucky lady on his four-marriage list was Dayanara Torres, a former Miss Universe beauty, whom he married in 2000.
They lasted four years, and Anthony waited exactly a week after his divorce to get married to Jennifer Lopez in 2004. He then divorced Lopez in 2014 and married model Shannon De Lima. Again, they separated after two short years, and Anthony stayed single for seven years. In 2023, he married model Nadia Ferreira.
Paul McCartney – Linda Eastman
Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney is considered to be one of the greatest singer-songwriters in history. And we would have to agree. Just like his music, his personal life has been a rollercoaster of emotions. His first wife, Linda Eastman, was a talented photographer, and McCartney was crazy about her. They got married in 1969 and had four children together.
Sadly, their marriage was cut short when Linda died from cancer in 1998. McCartney went on to marry model Heather Mills four years later, and that lasted six years. It wasn’t until 2011 that he met his current wife, Nancy Shevell, and the two seem as happy as possible.
Rod Stewart – Alana Hamilton
In typical rockstar fashion, Rod Stewart has tied the knot three times. And they have all been with supermodels, believe it or not. His first wife, model, and actress Alana Hamilton married him in 1979 and had two children with him. Ultimately though, they divorced in 1984, and six years later, Rod tied the knot with model Rachel Hunter.
He stayed with Hunter for an impressive sixteen years until calling it quits in 2006. It seems the third time’s the charm since he’s been married to his current wife, photographer Penny Lancaster, since 2007. The two seem to be working it out.
