Call it fate or call it divine intervention, but these celebrities met the love of their lives not by seeking signs but with the help of their celebrity friends and family! It’s always helpful to ask for a pal’s guidance when it comes to dating. And these stars surely sealed the deal!

Bright Side believes in true love and its many ways of leading back to a couple. That’s why we gathered stories from celebrities who had the help of their family and friends when they hit it off with their soulmates.

1. Hailee Steinfield helped Joe Jonas & Sophie Turner team up.

Sophie and Joe’s growing family is all thanks to one friend behind their pairing. Hailee, however, did not set them up. In fact, Joe was the one who initiated the move and messaged Sophie. Hailee gave Joe her stamp of approval right away when Sophie asked for dating advice!

2. Chloë Grace Moretz initiated Meghan Trainor & Daryl Sabara’s meet-cute.

Keeping an open line when single might up the chances of finding the one. Meghan was looking for a boyfriend when she asked for a suggestion from Chloë on who to date. Chloë remembered her friend Daryl and eventually hooked the 2 up together at a house party, with Daryl saying it was “love at first sight.”

3. Jesse Tyler Ferguson played bridge for Sofia Vergara & Joe Manganiello.

When a co-star needed a helping hand with dating, Jesse did not think twice. Joe really fell for Sofia when Jesse introduced them at a gathering. However, Sofia was still engaged to former fiancé Nick Loeb. When news broke that the engagement was called off, Joe did not waste any time and went after Sofia!

A little matchmaking from a younger sister did not hurt, as Stanley and Felicity are now 10 years strong! Emily first introduced the 2 during the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada. However, it wasn’t until Emily and John Krasinski’s wedding that the 2 rekindled their friendship. Talk about wedding magic!

6. Ed Sheeran & a bunch of celebrity friends shipped Courteney Cox & Johnny McDaid.
