We’ve all heard actors talk about how hard it is to act out on-screen love scenes. The scenes are very staged and not at all realistic. However, sometimes, actors are paired with a co-star and fall in love. 

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.

Mila Kunis grew up appearing on the small screen, playing Jackie Burkhart on the Fox sitcom “That ’70s Show.” 

Kunis and Kutcher soon began spending time together and developing relationships, much like their characters in “No Strings Attached” and “Friends With Benefits.” But, just like their movie characters, they were a perfect match, and the couple got married in 2015. They have two children: a daughter called Wyatt Isabelle and a son named Dimitri Portwood.

Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe.

Many fans think they are Hollywood’s sexiest couple, but Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe are also one of the town’s most dedicated couples. They have been married for over 15 years and have a family, successful careers, and a strong partnership despite the stress that fame can bring. They met on the set of the Showtime series “Soul Food” in the early 2000s. 

They got married in 2005 and soon had a son and a daughter.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

Jennifer Lopez was already a famous actress and singer when she met Ben Affleck on the set of “Gigli.”

In 2002, Lopez showed off the shiny pink diamond ring that Affleck had given her as an engagement. But it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, and a year later, the couple called off their wedding. 

But somehow, Bennifer is back together. They started dating again in 2021 and got married the following year. In 2025, the couple divorced for a second time.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

In 1990, Nicole Kidman auditioned for a supporting role in the film Days of Thunder. She had just met Tom Cruise, and he was impressed with her. 

But after they got married, Kidman threw herself into being a mum with the adoptions of Isabella in 1992 and Connor in 1994. When the couple appeared in Stanley Kubrick’s 1999 psychological drama “Eyes Wide Shut,” people wondered whether the on-screen couple’s marriage problems were similar to Kidman and Cruise’s real-life marriage. The couple split up in 2001 after being married for 11 years.

Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder.

The two of them met at the premiere of the 1989 movie “Great Balls of Fire,” and it was love at first sight.

In the film Edward Scissorhands, Depp and Ryder play love interests who are torn apart. Life imitated art for the couple who split up after four years. After the split, Depp changed his famous tattoo to “Wino Forever.”

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz.

“Dream House” was a small film that starred two famous actors.

In 2010, Craig and Weisz filmed scenes where they play a happily married couple. It was clear that they were genuinely attracted to each other while filming. According to Express, both actors denied rumors that they were dating. This was around the time that TMZ reported that Weisz had broken up with her fiancé, filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, and when Craig ended his relationship with Satsuki Mitchell. In the middle of 2011, Craig and Weisz got married in New York. They had their first child together in 2018.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

The pair reportedly fell for each other while both were starring in the 2004 action romance “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” and while Pitt was married to another famous actress, Jennifer Aniston.

After that, the “Brangelina” phenomenon grew increasingly larger: Pitt and Aniston divorced in 2005, just one year before Jolie announced that she was pregnant with Pitt’s child. 

After seven years of being together, Pitt and Jolie got married in 2014. But they soon started having problems. Jolie requested a divorce in 2016, citing that they could no longer coexist.

Norman Reedus and Diane Kruger.

Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon in “The Walking Dead,” and Diane Kruger, who starred in “Inglourious Basterds,” have both dated celebrities in the past.

Reedus and Kruger began dating in 2016 and were spotted together at prominent events, including the 2017 U.S. Open and the 2018 Golden Globes ceremony. That same year, Kruger revealed that she was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, Nova, in late 2018. The couple announced their engagement in 2022.

Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison.

Actress Hassie Harrison joined the cast of “Yellowstone” as barrel racer Laramie in Season 3. Their on-screen relationship soon became a case of life imitating art: The pair revealed that they were a couple in 2023 with an Instagram post.

Bingham, who won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy for his song “The Weary Kind” from the movie “Crazy Heart,” was previously married to Anna Axster for 12 years until they divorced in 2021.

Camila Mendes and Charles Melton.

Fans of “Riverdale” were excited in 2018 when they heard that the actors who play Veronica and Reggie on the show were also a couple in real life. They soon started to show their relationship to the public. 

The couple appeared to split shortly before their first anniversary in 2019, but pictures of them together in the media suggested otherwise. However, a second split in 2021 was permanent: In 2023, Mendes told the Going Mental podcast (via Yahoo) that she was dating a new person, but she didn’t reveal who it was.
