Harsh schedules often force actors to spend a lot of time on movie sets, inevitably ending up playing cupids to their cast members. While Channing Tatum and Ryan Reynolds or Brad Pitt are famous for their relationships with their co-stars, there are a plethora of other celebs who found love on movie sets.
Meeting the old-fashioned way, there are way too many celebrity couples who ended up either breaking up just months after or went on to become one of the most iconic celeb couples in the entire film industry. So here are 7 celebrities who found love on movie sets:
1. Channing Tatum
Channing Tatum has found love not once but twice. Meeting in 2006 on the set of Step Up, Tatum and Jenna Dewan got married in 2009 after a romantic proposal by Tatum in Hawaii in 2008. The two soon became parents to a daughter, Everly, only to end up divorcing in 2019 (via People).
After his split from ex-Dewan, Charlie Tatum soon found love again on a movie set with Zoe Kravitz. The two met on the set of Kravitz’s directorial debut movie, Pussy Island, for which the director had personally scouted The White House Down actor. Now reportedly engaged, the two are often spotted together (via Harper’s Bazaar).
2. Ryan Reynolds
Probably one of the most loved and fan-favorite couples, Ryan Reynolds met his wife Blake Lively on the sets of his critically panned movie Green Lantern. Although they didn’t start dating then, they were first said to be dating in October 2011. And soon enough, Hollywood’s perfect couple got married on 9 September 2012.
The two now have 4 children, three daughters James, Inez, and Betty, and a baby whose name or gender has not been revealed till now. The two are often spotted together and keep their fans updated on social media by sharing hilarious pictures or stories about each other.

Describing Brody as her best friend, Leighton also revealed how wonderful it was working with her husband on the set of their new movie River Wild.
4. Brad Pitt
Just like Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt found love not once but twice on a movie set. The actor first started dating Marvel star Gwyneth Paltrow after starring in the movie Se7en. The two were even spotted having matching haircuts, only to split sometime later (via Cosmopolitan).
Brad Pitt got lucky again when he starred in Mr. and Mrs Smith opposite Angelina Jolie and the two quickly became the most followed couple of the film industry. Despite sharing six kids and a seemingly long and loving relationship the two’s relationship ended up pretty bad resulting in an ugly divorce and alleged lawsuits (via People).
5. Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck, much like the early entries on this list, found the movie set to be his lucky charm when it comes to romance. Affleck met his first wife Jennifer Garner on the set of Pearl Harbour, however, the two did not begin dating until their second collaboration, 2003’s Daredevil. Although they separated in 2018, the two are often spotted together co-parenting their three daughters (via People).
After his split with Garner, Affleck got back together with his old fling Jennifer Lopez, whom he had first met on the sets of Gigli in 2001. After a brief dating period, the two went their separate ways in 2004. However, they reconnected in 2021 and are now happily married (via Elle).
6. Emma Stone
Emma Stone found love when she starred as Gwen Stacy in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man opposite Andrew Garfield‘s Spider-Man. Once the most followed couples in Hollywood, the two have since remained friends and the best supportive exes.
They first began dating in 2011, but went their separate way in 2011. However, instead of avoiding or ignoring each other, they have candidly spoken of their time together, which is also one of the main reasons why fans continue to ship them. Recently their exchange at the premiere of Stone’s Poor Things went viral on the internet (via Glamour).
7. Zendaya and Tom Holland
Probably the most iconic couple after Brangelina or Reynolds-Lively, Zendaya and Tom Holland met each other in 2016 while shooting MCU’s Spider-Man franchise. Ever since then, there have been numerous rumors about the two but only recently started dating for they both were dating different people during 2019-2020.
However, soon after that time, the two were often spotted together and even posted each other on their Instagrams. While they haven’t directly confirmed their relationship, it is but obvious that the two are very much in love and want to keep it under wraps as much as possible (via Elle).
