9 Memorable First Dates Of Our Favorite Celebrity Couples

In Hollywood, it's well-known that celebrity pairings come and go, and it's quite rare for two people to actually seal the deal and remain together without the threats of divorce or breakup. The dating scene in Hollywood isn't exactly a simple tree to skim over; let's face it, the connections and rumors make it far more complicated than, say, a pyramid scheme.

It's quite common for celebrities to get together after working on a mutual project, and fans always love it when this happens. Take Zendaya and Tom Holland, for example—who else melted when he called her "My MJ"?

Some may insist that these celebrity couples are nothing more than publicity stunts, especially when they are in the middle of a collaborative project. But much to our surprise (and delight), there are actually a good number of Hollywood couples that have already exchanged their vows and are still going strong today.

You may say that the love we see in movies only exists on screen, but some of the celebrity couples you are about to see are certainly a testament to the fact that true love does exist in real life. Take a look at 9 of our favorite celebrity couples and their memorable first dates that sparked the bloom of their relationships!

1. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively

This iconic pair met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010. A year later, they had their first date at a sushi restaurant in Boston.

According to Blake, if it weren't for that sushi restaurant, they wouldn't be together today, and no other restaurant means more to them than the one where they realized they wanted to be together forever.

2. Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves

The Oscar-winning actor and the Brazilian model met at a club in Los Angeles in 2006. According to Matthew, it was love at first sight!

Three days later, the two met again at Camila's home in Malibu.

“After that, I wanted to go on another date. And I’ve wanted to go on another date with her for the last 9 years,” he said in an interview. The two have been happily married since 2012 and have welcomed three children.

3. Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner

The boy of our teenage dreams, Joe Jonas, and the star of Game of Thrones, Sophie Turner, definitely take the title of being one of the best celebrity couples today. Their humor, looks, and personalities bounce off each other so well—it just feels like they are meant to be!

Their first date took place at a casual bar after Joe invited Sophie through Instagram's private messaging. According to Turner, it was Joe's simplicity in introducing himself that made her fall in love, and they hit their happily ever after by exchanging vows.

4. Victoria Beckham and David Beckham

The first meeting between the Spice Girl star and the famous football player wasn't exactly great. Victoria, along with her manager, Simon Fuller, went to see a match that Beckham's team was playing, and the manager introduced them to one another.

Their first impressions weren't exactly positive, but just two weeks later, the tension died down, and David invited Victoria to a date in a pub parking lot in Essex.

5. Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox

To say that the Internet was shocked and weirded out by this couple is an understatement. However, nobody can deny that the attraction they feel for one another is truly genuine.

MGK brought Megan Fox to climb all the way to the rooftop of a building to see the view of the city for their first date, unconventional as it may sound. On their second date, they swam with the sharks on the island of Bora Bora.

6. Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara

Megan and Daryl's relationship started on a karaoke and bowling night that they shared with another couple. It was there that they kissed for the first time, right in the alley of the place, and according to Trainor, she asked her security to wait for her outside because she didn’t want them to be seen.

They married in 2018, and in 2021, they welcomed their first child, Riley.

7. Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault

This couple's relationship began in a somewhat strange way when Salma attended an event that her friends invited her to. The plot twist is that she was clueless and unaware that she was actually going on a blind date.

Pinault, however, thought she knew they were going to meet, so it was truly an awkward first date for both of them. Fortunately, they were able to look past their awkward first date and have been married since 2009, raising a daughter together.

8. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell

9. Cardi B and Offset

The rapper couple had their first date at the Super Bowl. According to Offset, he wanted their first meeting to be something big and something that wasn’t normally done, so he had the idea of taking her to the highly anticipated football game.

They have been married since 2017 and are raising two kids.

It's both rare and common for celebrities to tie the knot because Hollywood is very messy when it comes to connections and relationships. We're truly happy for these couples, though, because they are a living testament that this kind of love does not only happen in the movies!
