Hollywood couples are always in the spotlight. Some of those couples find love when they are working together on set. Others perhaps work together on set because of their relationship together. While many famous couples never perform or show up on film together, there are quite a few who do. Can you name the celebrity couples you’ve seen on film together? 

If you want insight into some famous couples who starred in films together, check out the details below. We’ve got the secret lives of famous couples lined up for you to see! 

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have been together for many years now. They’ve been married for nearly a decade, and they have beautiful children as well. They are a Hollywood relationship that often leaves others jealous because they just seem to work well together. They’ve acted together and been through some challenging times, but they always come out on top. 

Early in their relationship, the star-struck couple acted together in When in Rome. However, they’ve been in at least five other movies together, too. This includes CHiPS, This is Where I Leave You, and The Boss. 

Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy has long been in the spotlight as a comedic actress, but her husband, Ben Falcone, is just as comedic. These two have been together since 1998, and they certainly act well together in movies, too. They are just as funny together as they are apart, and you are going to want to check out some of their work, whether you find them in stock video or take it to the screen. 

You can find Ben and Melissa on film together in movies like Bridesmaids, Life of the Party, Identity Theft, and Spy. 

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem

Penelope and Javier met on the set of a movie they did together. While they connected during that movie, they didn’t become any type of official couple until much later. Their initial roles together were in a Spanish film called Jamon Jamon. That was back in 1992. They went their separate ways at the time, and in 2007, they connected again on the set of Vicky Cristina Barcelona

That was the trick for bringing these two lovebirds together, but they have always kept their relationship very private and out of the spotlight. They have been on film together several more times and married. They star in both Spanish films and Hollywood hits in titles such as Everybody Knows, The Counselor, and Pablo. 

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn

Kurt and Goldie are one of the longest-standing marriages that survived all that living in Hollywood threw at them. They acted together before they were ever a couple, but they have acted together as a successful couple, too. They’ve been together for several decades now, and they always impress the world. 

Some of their early work before they were together includes The One and Only, as well as some other films. More recently, they paired up together in the Netflix original The Christmas Chronicles

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Brad and Angelina were once one of the major couples in Hollywood, and we’ve seen much drama come out of their relationship in more recent years. These two were together for more than 12 years, having children together and enduring a very short marriage as well. Now, they are much more at odds with each other, but there was a time when they simply went together. 

Their relationship was developed from spending time together on set. The couple came together filming Mr and Mrs Smith, and it just stuck after that. They aren’t known for any other roles together, but this was enough to get them started. 

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez

Ben and Jennifer have perhaps one of the most unique love stories in Hollywood. The two acted together in Gigli and became very close. They were together for a while and shot movies together after forming that particular relationship. Sadly, the couple broke up despite being a favorite couple in Hollywood. 

They both lived separate lives for many years. However, more recently, the two were brought back together nearly 20 years later. They’ve been reported as happy and smiling everywhere they go. It’s as though fate brought them back together. 

You can find these couples and many others starring together over the years. Some couples came together because of their on-film time, while others met and then acted together through the years. They all have unique stories and relationships that stand out in the Hollywood scene.
