We doubt we'll be cast in the next breakout blockbuster film anytime soon, but the real lesson here is that love can happen anywhere—and that's exactly what happened to these leading ladies. Sometimes, you fall in love with the person you've known all along or the person you're working with (just don't ask HR too many questions). We love watching the romance unfold, whether it's on-screen or in our own lives. But it's even more serendipitous when life imitates art. That's exactly what happened to these Hollywood stars, who fell in love on set and later worked with their now-partners in some of the films we all love.
Indeed, there's hope for us all! Who knows? The love of your life could be Jim from sales, or you and that hunky neighbor could both reach for the last milk carton at the local grocery store. Stranger things have happened. Here are 10 leading Hollywood ladies who found love at work—and we all can too, you hopeless romantic!
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling, talk about an iconic pair. While filming their 2011 film, 'The Place Beyond the Pines' in which they played a family, Ryan stated he fell instantly for Eva. They have been together ever since and two kids later they are a real-life happy family.
This one is too good... Goodwin! Who wouldn't want to fall in love with 'Prince Charming'? That's exactly what happened to Ginnifer Goodwin when she met Josh Dallas on Once Upon A Time. Playing real-life Snow White and Prince Charming, their love story will make you believe in fairytales again.
Among all the legendary pairings, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. stand out as one of the most iconic. The two met on the set of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' and while they didn't play love interests, they formed a strong bond. Years later, when they reunited as Fred and Daphne in 'Scooby-Doo,' they were already dating!"
These two are All My Children royalty, having met on the soap opera during their initial screen test. Their chemistry read quickly turned into something off-screen, as they not only got married as their characters but also tied the knot in real life. How many people can say that?
Mila and Ashton played a couple of kids in love while 'On That 70's Show' but their romance didn't start until much later. There may have been a couple of crushes, but as adults, they were in serious relationships with other people before reconnecting romantically. We certainly had crushes on them as Jackie and Kelso, so perhaps we saw it coming.
Before Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks were the household names we know them as today, they were both cast in the 80's TV show Bosom Buddies. This was known to be Hank's big break as one of the leads. Little did he know it would also lead him to his future wife who came on as a guest.
This list wouldn't be complete without Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Lively, known as 'It Girl' Serena, and Reynolds, famously Deadpool, first starred together in Green Lantern, long before he became Deadpool. Originally set to double-date with other people after hitting it off on set, but by the end of the meal, realized they had fallen in love while filming.
We can't have Blake's 'It Girl' Serena without Leighton's Blair Waldorf. Who would have thought Adam Brody's Seth Cohen would end up with Leighton Meester's Blair? Well, that's not what happened, but we can't shake the idea. Brody and Meester had known each other before filming 'The Oranges,' but when they were cast together that's where they fell in love.
Our funniest pair, thanks to their impeccable comedic timing, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are hilarious both together and apart. They first met at an industry dinner party while they dated on and off, working on 'When in Rome,' and that's when their relationship hit the next milestone. I mean, falling in love and getting engaged in Rome totally counts, right?
Although these two lovebirds didn't technically meet on a movie set, they did meet at a film festival, and we think that also counts. Despite their stark age gap, they have been a pair since 1998 and have no plans on slowing down. If you're trying to find true love maybe you should buy tickets to a film festival, it seems to have a great track record.
