How do you find love? For most actors, it seems that on-set is the best place to find romance — lots of actors enjoy extending their onscreen duties into the real world and date co-stars or crew members. It’s all understandable though, when you spend weeks (or even months) within a small group of people, you’re bound to fall in love. Here are 10 of our favorite relationships that began on set.
Lauren Morelli and Samira Wiley

It’s only March and we already have our favorite wedding photo of the year. Orange Is The New Black’s Samira Wiley (she played charming and tragic Poussey Washington) just married the show’s writer Lauren Morelli. For Morelli, the cult series wasn’t just a first major career opportunity: it also made her realize she was a lesbian while writing lots of OITNB’s lesbian scenes. So life does imitate art, especially if you’re the one behind that art. And we have to say these wedding gowns the two wore are as iconic as the orange jumpsuits of the show that bonded them.
Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone
Andrew Garfield didn’t keep that Spider-Man costume for long (yes, we’re uber excited to see Tom Holland’s take on the iconic superhero role, too), but at least he got to keep the girl. At least, for a while.
Two movie stars on the rise met during the production of The Amazing Spider-Man back in 2010 and broke-up in 2015, which is an impressive run for people of their fame and age. They’re still supportive of each other — let’s not forget that standing ovation Garfield gave while Stone went up on stage to receive her Oscar in February. #BreakUpGoals all the way!
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
You receive a lot of pressure when you star in the biggest franchise de jour. When you decide to start a real-life vampires-free romance with your onscreen flame, and then the world learns that your girlfriend cheated on you? Man, that must suck!
It’s safe to say that it wasn’t a smooth ride for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s romance, which began on set of the Twilight saga and pretty much ended when Stewart started another romance (with Rupert Sanders, married director of Snow White and the Huntsman). Pattinson later told the press that cheating didn’t bother him as much as the tabloids’ attention to the humiliating experience.
Trai Byers and Grace Gealey
Average relationships on FOX’s hit hip-hop drama Empire don’t last more than a couple of episodes. And to be honest, we don’t see Andre Lyon (Thai Byers) and Anika Calhoun (Grace Gealey) hooking up any time soon — Anika is married to Andre’s father, gave birth to his brother’s baby and, you know, killed Andre’s unborn baby and wife.
But behind-the-scenes the pair has a completely murder-free love story: after meeting on set of the campy soap the pair tied the knot last year.
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes
Let’s be real: life should be pretty sweet when you’re Ryan Gosling. Not every Hollywood leading man gets body-sized pillows and leggings made using his pictures.
Since a man like that can have any girl he wants, Gosling never settled for anyone less famous than him — from Sandra Bullock to Rachel McAdams, Gosling has a long history of working after hours with his co-stars — but it was his The Place Beyond the Pines onscreen lover Eva Mendes that finally made the La La Land star pop the question. Six years and two daughters later, they’re still going strong.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt goes hard on Method Acting: he’s been involved with numerous co-stars, including Jill Schoelen, Robin Givens, Juliette Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow. So when he agreed to film Mr. & Mrs. Smith with Angelina Jolie, Pitt’s marriage with Jennifer Aniston was destined to collapse.
For years, Brangelina was the stuff of legends, filled with smiley photos and too many kids to count, but it all came crashing down last year when the two announced separation. No one blinked an eye when rumors started circulating, pointing that the reason behind the split was Pitt’s on set romance with his Allied co-star Marion Cotillard. Do you think Pitt and Jolie’s real-life fights were as epic as the ones in Mr. & Mrs. Smith? We wouldn’t be surprised if they were.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr.
We Know Who You Met Last Summer.
While Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, jr. began dating a couple of years after starring in the teen thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer, they can’t deny the fact that running away from the hook-wielding serial killer and all that adrenaline raised the chances of mutual attraction. By the time the two were recruited for Scooby Doo in 2012, they were already married. Fifteen years later they’re still going strong and both recently published cook books. Looks like cooking is the secret weapon when it comes to long-lasting unions.
Kit Harrington and Rose Leslie
All these life-and-death situations Ygritte and Jon Snow faced during the run of Game of Thrones surely made their working hours beyond passionate, and the Scottish actress and British actor finally took their passion behind the set and announced their relationship last year.
Dying in the arms of your lover will surely make you re-think a thing or two about your personal life.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth
No wonder his name is Nicholas Sparks. Movies that are based on the famous writer’s novels usually spark more-than-fictional romances.
Take Miley and Liam for example: not many remember that cheesy 2010 movie The Last Song they made together, but we still feel the impact of that shoot — the pair has been on-and-off ever since.
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan
An ex-stripper and a backup dancer walk onto a movie set…
What followed wasn’t a joke but a love story for a decade. Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan’s chemistry made teen dance movie Step Up quite a remarkable one. No wonder they didn’t have time to participate in any of the sequels (apart from Tatum’s cameo in part 2) — they were too busy getting married, having kids and keeping the title of Hollywood’s hottest and most flexible couple.
