Natalie Portman is a huge figure in Hollywood. She’s known to choose her roles very well. One of the characters she portrayed, that certainly put her on the map, was in the critically-acclaimed psychological horror, Black Swan. Aside from being an award-winning actress, Portman is also a Harvard graduate, and she even said once, “I’d rather be smart than a movie star.”
In 2012, Portman married Benjamin Millepied, a French ballet dancer. They met during the filming of Black Swan in 2009, where Millepied was the choreographer. Just a year after, they announced their engagement. The couple then left L.A. and went to Paris in 2014, when Millepied accepted a job as director of dance, in the Paris Opera Ballet.
Candace Cameron Bure & Valeri Bure
Candace Cameron Bure is a popular American actress who took on the role of DJ Tanner, in the Full House series. She also starred in St. Elsewhere, Growing Pains, and Some Kind of Wonderful. She even won third place with Mark Ballas, in Dancing with the Stars, season 18. Clearly, Candace Cameron is a pretty busy woman!
In 1996, someone came into her life that probably made it even busier. She met Russian-American National Hockey League right winger, Valeri Bure. Cameron’s Full House co-actor, Dave Coulier, took on the role of their match-making fairy godfather. He introduced them at a charity hockey game, and the rest is history. They’ve been married since 1996 and, over the years, made three little additions to their little family: two sons and a daughter. Meaning the Bure team is now complete with Natasha, Lev, and Maksim.
Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed
Let’s hear some cheer from The Vampire Diaries crowd. This one’s for you, guys. Damon Salvatore and Rosalie Hale made it in real life. Fans were excited when Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed announced that they were dating in 2014.
Some more good news for the fans and family of the two, came when they confirmed their engagement in 2015. A few months after the engagement, they got married in the wonderful and magical Malibu. Two years later, they had their first child. They started as strangers, brought together as co-stars and now they are blissfully happy with their daughter, Bodhi Soleil. Finally a vampire story with a happy ending!
Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher
Celebrity couple, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher, also brush off their whole-foot height difference. They said that love will always be at the top of their priorities. Height is probably not even on the list. Fortunately, they have a lot of similar interests that stack up to make their relationship work. The best one is their sense of humor. They just find each other too much fun to be with.
Of course, it’s not just love that completes their perfect union. Baron and Fisher insist there has to be trust, respect, and a bouquet of other contributing factors. Religion being one of them. Cohen is a devout Jew and, since Fisher wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, she decided to convert to Judaism. She even released a statement about her decision before their wedding: “Religion comes second to love as far as we are concerned,” Isla Fisher said. She was ready to give it her all for their future together.
Hilaria Baldwin & Alec Baldwin
Alec Baldwin is an American comedian, host, actor and writer who comes from a renowned family of actors. You might be familiar with him from 30 Rock, the Mission Impossible series or perhaps from his remarkable portrayal of Donald Trump, on Saturday Night Live.
In 2011, Baldwin dated Hilaria Thomas, an actress and yoga instructor from Manhattan. In the early days of dating, they lived in Greenwich Village and, after a year of loved up happiness, they got engaged. Two months later, they were on their way down the aisle in New York City. They’re now happily married with a daughter and three sons: Carmen, Rafael, Leonardo Angel Charles, and Romeo Alejandro David.
