13 Hollywood Couples Who Started Dating in Real Life After Filming a Movie

Cinema can rightly be called a kind of magic. And sometimes, during filming, truly magical things happen. For example, there are people whose relationships develop from working to romantic.

5-Minute Crafts has collected several romantic stories from Hollywood couples for whom on-screen relationships have become something more. Some of these love stories are already over, and some are still going on.
