11 Not-So-Famous Men Who Conquered the Hearts of Our Favorite Superheroines

Watching superhero movies takes us into a fantasy world full of action. And although in these films the actresses manage to look strong, brave, and even very serious, there are a few men that have managed to conquer and steal their hearts. We’re talking about something that’s not a given. After all, these are some of the strongest, and toughest heroines both in fiction and reality.

Bright Side invites you to find out who are the men that some movie superheroines fell in love with.

1. Gal Gadot and Yaron Varsano

Yaron Varsano is the man who managed to win Wonder Woman’s heart, and he made her fall in love with him long before any of us knew her as one of the most famous superheroines in comics. Yaron is a businessman. During an interview, Gal Gadot was asked about her relationship with him. She said: “Oh, he’s the best man. We met nearly 10 years ago through mutual friends at this very strange party in the Israeli desert. It was all about yoga, chakras, and eating healthy—we didn’t exactly find ourselves there, but we found each other.”

Gal Gadot’s husband is about 10 years older than her. While the 2 of them were enjoying their second date, he jumped headfirst to tell her he was looking for something serious. He promised it wouldn’t take him more than 2 years to propose to her, and right after they were together for that period of time, in 2008, they got married. The happy couple is now expecting their third baby.

2. Zoe Saldana and Marco Perego

Zoe Saldana is known for playing Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers movies. In May 2013 she started dating Italian artist Marco Perego, and in September of the same year, the couple got married in a very intimate ceremony in London. Talk about love at first sight! A year after their marriage, the actress gave birth to twins Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio, and in 2017 the 2 welcomed their third child, whom they named Zen.

3. Jessica Alba and Cash Garner Warren

Jessica Alba is best known for bringing the Invisible Woman to the big screen in the 2005 Fantastic Four movie. A year before this movie was released she met Cash Warren while she was still shooting.

Krysten decided to announce her pregnancy publicly on the red carpet of the 2019 Oscars. She was so proud of being a mom, that for this event she wore a beautiful red dress with long sleeves that definitely put her pregnant belly in the spotlight.

5. Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood

Melissa Benoist already had a successful career when she was cast to bring Supergirl to the small screens in the eponymous DC Comics adaptation to a television series.

After maintaining a romance for 2 years, the couple announced their engagement via Instagram.

In March 2020, they announced on their official social media accounts that they were expecting their first child together. The actress wrote an encouraging message to share the news with the world: “A non-canine child is coming to our family very soon!!! 😱😆😭”.

6. Malin Åkerman and Jack Donnelly

Actress Malin Åkerman played Silk Spectre II in the superhero movie adaptation of the famous comic, The Watchmen. Malin announced her engagement to actor Jack Donnelly in 2017, and the following year they got married in Tulum, Mexico in a breathtaking location that made the whole event very intimate. During an interview, she shared her views on why the couple preferred to go for a beach wedding instead of something more traditional: “We just wanted a great party, so the idea [from the beginning] was to keep our wedding casual, chill, and fun.”

7. Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley

One of Margot Robbie’s most iconic characters is Harley Quinn, the anti-heroine from the Batman storylines that appeared in Suicide Squad and other spin-offs. However, it was during the shooting of Suite Française, back in 2013, that Margot met assistant director Tom Ackerley.
