Five celeb couples who met on set
Liam Neeson is reportedly dating his 'The Naked Gun' co-star Pamela Anderson, with the couple said to be enjoying a 'budding romance in the early stages.' In the age of social media, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find Mr/Mrs Right, and while often it's frowned upon to get involved with a colleague, celebrities have a bit of an upper hand. In the case of movie stars, such as Liam and Pamela, they're not always going to be working together — and they already had a shared interest and common ground, as in being in the same industry, when meeting on set. Liam Neeson is reportedly dating his The Naked Gun co-star Pamela Anderson, with the pair said to be enjoying a 'budding romance in the early stages.' Pic:Ahead of the release of 'The Naked Gun' reboot on August 1st, and as we watch the cute relationship blossoming between the stars, we took a look at some other celebrity couples who found love on the set… Gossip Girls Blake Lively and Deadpool, aka, Ryan Reynolds are one of the IT couples in Hollywood, and it's all thanks to Martin Campbell's Green Lantern, which was released in 2011. Sparks didn't fly between the pair immediately, however, with it taking a year for the pair to go on a double date — with other people.

The couple secretly tied the knot in September 2012 with the pair welcoming their first daughter, James, in December 2014. They later welcomed Inez, Betty and son, Olin. Ryan and Blake regularly poke fun of each other online much to the delight of their avid fans. The actress also appears on Ryan's Disney+ documentary, Welcome to Wrexham.

The pair met in August 2011 when filming for the movie got underway, and were spotted in Disneyland a month after, sparking romance rumours and the rest is history.

The pair share two daughters — Esmeralda and Amada — who were born in 2014 and 2016 respectively, with the status of their relationship remaining under wraps for years. While it isn't confirmed whether the couple are married or not, Eva did hint that she may have become Mrs Gosling in 2022 when she shared a peak of her latest tattoo, which read out 'de Gosling' on her wrist — or Mrs Gosling.

The pair got married the following year surrounded by friends and family at the La Granja farmstead resort in Ibiza. The couple share two sons — one born in 2021 and another born in 2024 — and are stronger than ever.

The podcasters met on the fourth and final series of Channel 4 reality TV competition, The Jump, which saw celebs trying their hand at winter sports. Vogue withdrew from the show due to injury, with Spencer going onto win the series.

She revealed that they were in Austria 'having a few drinks, and that's the way it goes.' Vogue and Spencer said 'I do' in June 2018 at Spencer's 10,000-acre family estate in Scotland and had a second wedding in London documented on the E4 show, Spencer, Vogue and Wedding Too. The couple share three children — Theodore, Gigi and Otto.

For Laura Nolan and Matthew McNabb, who were paired in the fifth series of Ireland's Dancing with the Stars, it was more of a blessing. Professional dancer Laura taught the Love Island star all she could about the art of dancing with the pair finishing in fifth place but also finding love. After keeping their relationship under wraps for the duration of the series, outside of their steamy kiss following their semi-final exit, Matthew and Laura soon made their pairing official. The couple are now in wedding preparations after Matthew got down on one knee in 2024. Earlier this year, Laura revealed she said 'yes' to the dress, adding she was 'so excited' and couldn't believe how quick she found her dream dress. 'It was the very first dress I tried on!!' she shared.

The Real-Life Loves of the Cast of 'Pretty Woman'
Pretty Woman turns 35 today! The classic romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Jason Alexander, Laura San Giacomo, Ralph Bellamy and more, was released on March 23, 1990. And in spite of early mixed reviews, it's become a staple in the rom-com canon, thanks in large part of Roberts and Gere's undeniable onscreen chemistry. Though we can't ever see anyone else play the role of Edward Lewis, Julia Roberts has since revealed she had to plead with Gere for him to take the part. "This was just not feeling like anybody really had what it took to play this part that everybody really wanted," she said on Entertainment Weekly Radio. "People knew Garry [Marshall], and I think a lot of people wanted to work for Garry, but it was more like comedians were wanting to play the part and it didn't work." Roberts then revealed that she and Marshall, who was the director, flew to New York and took a meeting with Gere. When Marshall stepped out of the room, Roberts essentially begged for Gere to take the part. "He is a very serious actor and he had specific thoughts about the movie and the part and what worked and didn't work for him. I think I just nodded and smiled and agreed with everything he said," she recalled with a laugh. "And I just said, 'You have to do this movie. If you don't do this movie and it falls apart, and I lose this job, it'll just be terrible.' I kind of pleaded with him in a real way." It worked, and the rest is history: Vivian and Edward rode off into the sunset in his limo, and a classic was born. See who the cast "rescued right back" in real life. Julia Roberts played Vivian Ward, an escort with a big heart looking for Prince Charming to come and save her. In real life, the Oscar-winning actress found love with cinematographer, Daniel Moder. The two met in 2000 when they both worked onThe Mexican. She played Brad Pitt's love interest, Samantha, while he was behind the scenes as a cameraman. At the time, they were both in relationships and didn't get together until 2002; they married that same year. Roberts and Moder share three kids together: 20-year-old twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter and another son named Henry Daniel, 17. Richard Gere played the serious (and seriously handsome) Edward Lewis in the 1995 classic. Even though he and his real-life love Alejandra Silva had known each other for many years, the couple didn't get together until 2014 and were wed in April 2018. They're now parents to sons Alexander, 5, and James, 4. Gere also has an older son Homer, 24, whom he shares with ex Carey Lowell, while Silva also has a son named Albert, 11, from a previous relationship. In November 2024, the actor revealed that the family would be moving to Spain. 'My wife is Spanish, and we're going there for her family, her friends, her culture," he said during an appearance on Today. "The kids are bilingual, so it's really going to be great for them.' Gere just recently celebrated his first Spanish Father's Day. Jason Alexander has managed to keep his marriage to wife Daena Title, away from the spotlight. The Seinfeld alum — who played weaselly businessman and Edward's partner, Phillip Stuckey — married Title back in 1982, and 43 years later, the two are still going strong. Asked what the key to their successful marriage has been, Alexander told the Today show, "I'm married to a woman who lives this thing that I first heard of in A Raisin in the Sun. It's kind of quoted there, but she does it. It goes something like this: On my worst day, she remembers me on my best day and beckons me back." "If you have a partner who can do that, because we all have worst days, you don't give up on that partner," he said. "I am a lucky man." The longtime couple welcomed their first son Gabe in 1992 and followed up with another boy named Noah in 1996. Amy Yasbeck played Stuckey's wife, Elizabeth, during a brief appearance in the film. While she was married to kind of a jerk onscreen, in her real life, Yasbeck hit the jackpot when she married beloved actor John Ritter. The two had been married for four years when he died from a 'dissection of the aorta," which he experienced on the set of 8 Simple Rules on Sept. 11, 2003. In the decades since, Yasbeck has dedicated her time to creating the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health, which brings awareness to the issue. The couple shared a son named Noah, who was born exactly five years to the date prior to John's death. The Three's Company actor died on Noah's 5th birthday, during his first week of preschool. Héctor Elizondo played accommodating hotel manager Barney Thompson, who essentially took Vivian under his wing and showed her how to live like a first-class lady. Offscreen, Elizondo has been married to wife Carolee Campbell for 56 years, having tied the knot back in 1969. According to IMDb, the couple shares a son named Rod. Playing Vivian's streetwise mentor, Kit, was Laura San Giacomo. Though she's continued working, Giacomo lives a quieter life these days. The NCIS actress has been married to her husband Matt Adler since 2000. She has a 29-year-old son from her previous relationship with Cameron Dye. Who can forget Larry Miller's portrayal of Mr. Hollister — the commission-hungry salesman who literally asked one of his employees to take off his tie simply because Vivian wanted it for Edward? And while Miller has appeared in a string of other classics — 10 Things I Hate About You, The Nutty Professor, The Princess Diaries — the actor is very much a family man. Miller married TV producer and writer Eileen Conn in 1993 and they have two children. Elinor Donahue played Bridget, the kind saleswoman who Barney calls upon to help Vivian with finding a dress for her first dinner with Edward. Outside of the brief appearance in Pretty Woman, Donahue also lent her talents to TV shows and movies such as The Andy Griffith Show, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, Father Knows Best and many more. Offscreen, the now-retired actress has been married to her husband Lou Genevrino since 1992. Donahue has four kids from a previous marriage to Harry Ackerman. Alex Hyde-White played David Morse, the heir to the shipbuilding company Edward wanted to buy. David's father was played by the late Ralph Bellamy, in his last role. Alex Hyde-White wed his long-term love, Shelly Bovert Hyde-White in 1997. The couple have two sons, Jackson Connor and Garrick. Read the original article on People
