The celebrity world is jampacked with award ceremonies, film sets and exclusive parties with plenty of opportunity for unlikely love to blossom. Earlier this month British actress Talulah Riley and Love Actually star Thomas Brodie-Sangster shared beautiful pictures from their wedding. This led fans to share their shock at the odd pairing, with many never imagining the two together until that moment. But they are certainly not the first couple to leave the public reeling after revealing their relationship.
From Cher and Tom Cruise’s fling back in the 80s to Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner’s discourse-sparking romance, there have been plenty of wild couples over the years. But what about the ones who made it all the way to the altar?
Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford

After losing touch, fame brought them back together in 2011 after Carey reportedly attended a Mumford and Sons concert. Just five months later they were engaged. Soon after they celebrated their wedding with a star-studded ceremony in Somerset including Jake Gyllenhaal and Colin Firth.
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody

The private pair met on the set of the 2011 film The Oranges and shared their surprise love story with the world in 2013 – the same year they got engaged. Adam has previously described his wife as the ‘strongest, best person’ he knows. In 2019 he reflected on everyone’s reaction to Blair Waldorf and Seth Cohen falling in love.
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz

They first met as budding actors in the 90s when they starred opposite each other in Les Grandes Horizontales at the National Theatre. Years later they met once again and sparks flew. They eventually tied the knot in a secret ceremony in 2011. Although they rarely discuss their romance in public, Rachel told The New York Times in 2018 that she is ‘very happy being married.’
Dave Franco and Alison Brie
The Hollywood stars were fated to meet one another (Picture: AP) This cute Hollywood couple met during Mardi Gras in New Orleans in 2011 through a mutual friend. When they all got dinner together, both decided to hook up. ‘He was like, “I’m in!”. It was 48 hours of drugs, sex, a lot of making out,’ she recounted to Jimmy Fallon in 2020, according to the Independent. They also shared a romantic date in Paris where they cemented their love by clasping a lock with their initials on it to a bridge. After the 21 Jump Street actor proposed to the Community star at California’s Big Sur the couple eventually got married in an intimate wedding ceremony in 2017. Alison told host Andy Cohen that their ‘wedding vows’ were her favourite part of the special day.
Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz

Once more, they secretly married in 2010 and share two children together, Leo and Luna. Although the couple are notoriously private, they have spoken about their deep love for one another with the press. In 2012, the Little Mermaid star told GQ that he is ‘happily married.’
