The big screen has allowed us to witness some of the most beloved movie couples, such as Rose and Jack in Titanic, or Allie And Noah in The Notebook. However, sometimes love stories can also develop in the actors’ real life and go beyond the script.

In this article, we’ve compiled 10 celebrity couples that met while working on set and have stayed together throughout the years.

1. Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling

The couple met in 2011 while working on the movie, The Place Beyond the Pines. Shortly after filming ended, Gosling and Mendes were seen together at Disneyland and Paris.

3 years later, the pair welcomed Esmeralda, their first child. In 2016, Eva gave birth to their second daughter, Amada. Although they’re one of the most beloved Hollywood couples, they’ve opted to keep their family life private.

2. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds met each other on the set of the film, Green Lantern, in 2010, in which they both co-starred. However, they didn’t become a couple until 2011. In an interview, Reynolds revealed how their romantic relationship began. “We were buddies for a long time, which I think is the best way to have a relationship, to start as friends,” he confessed.

The pair have been together ever since. They have 3 daughters and are expecting a fourth child.

3. Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons

4. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.

The duo, who has been together for over 20 years, met in 1997 while working on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer. But just like with other Hollywood couples, their romantic relationship began a few years after filming wrapped and after they had the accidental opportunity to get to know each other a bit more. “One day, I gave her a ride to the gym. We talked on the way up, and she was a cool chick,” Freddie Prinze Jr. revealed.

5. Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas

This couple’s love story looks exactly like a fairy tale, as Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas met for the first time in 2011 on the set of the series, Once Upon a Time, in which they performed as Snow White and Prince Charming. Around a year later, the couple made their romantic relationship public.
