13 Celebrities Who Fell in Love With Ordinary People That Have Regular Jobs

We often see famous people dating and marrying other celebrities either from their own space or a different one. It’s not just because they all attend the same events but also because they understand each other and the hardships that come with being in the industry. However, not everyone seems to think this way, since many of the most famous stars seem to stay away from having renowned partners.

1. Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky

The famous superstar was first spotted in public with Michael Polansky in February 2020, and it seems they are still together. Michael is a tech CEO and works for Facebook co-founder Sean Parker’s different business ventures. Based on his LinkedIn profile, he now runs the Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, which does cancer research.

2. Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni

Cynthia and Christine have been married since 2012, but got together back in 2004. Christine is an LGBTQ+ educational activist who worked for New York’s Department of Education in the past. She helped establish the Alliance for Quality Education to ensure that all kids receive a high-quality public education. Since Cynthia is an activist herself, she met Christine in their shared activism space.

In 2009, when same-sex marriage wasn’t yet legalized in New York City, the 2 of them got engaged at a rally. This was their way of showing their full support for the cause. Of course, when the Marriage Equality Act passed in 2012, they got married legally.

3. RuPaul and Georges LeBar

The lovely couple has been together since 1994 but only got officially married in 2017. While Ru has a very glamorous work life as the host of RuPaul’s Drag Race, his husband is the opposite. He is the manager of a 60,000-acre ranch in Wyoming and South Dakota.

On one of the very rare occasions that Ru talked about their relationship, he revealed how they met. They were both on the dance floor of a club in 1994 when Ru approached him after seeing him dancing, and the rest is history.

4. Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez

We don’t know much about Ariana and Dalton’s relationship, but we do know that they started dating somewhere in 2020. While he seems to know a few famous people, his job is away from the public limelight. He is the director of a luxury real estate company that works a lot with A-list celebrities and very wealthy people. The couple got engaged in December 2020 and finally got married in May 2021 with only a few guests in attendance.

5. Paul Rudd and Julie Yaeger

The couple first met sometime after 1995 and have been together ever since. They are both very private when it comes to their marriage, and they don’t share very much about themselves. What we do know about Julie is that she started her career as a publicist, but decided to devote her time to producing and screenwriting. In 2017, she wrote the movie Fun Mom Dinner, in which Rudd was the executive producer.

6. Taylor Lautner and Taylor Dome

The 2 Taylors met when Lautner was on a hiatus from acting, and his sister introduced him to his future wife. Dome is a registered nurse and has publicly thanked Lautner for always supporting her during her journey. “Thank you for encouraging me when I felt like quitting. Thank you for all the meals you’d make me when I was too busy studying. Thank you for quizzing me and trying to pronounce medical terms and abbreviations.”

Dome is also well-known in the social media world since she advocates for mental health and self-care. She has built her own website that aims to help people who need guidance with those 2 things.

7. Sam Worthington and Lara Worthington

Lara has been a model her entire adult life, but she became really successful in 2006 thanks to an Australian campaign. In 2014, she created her own beauty line, called The Base, which a few years later turned into a not-for-profit organization. 100% of the company’s profits are donated to WWF Australia, the children’s charity Humpty Dumpty Foundation, and Bowel Cancer Australia. She has partnered up with quite a few companies to promote them.

8. Riz Ahmed and Fatima Farheen Mirza

Apart from being married to a movie star, Fatima has a pretty impressive story, since she is a best-selling novelist. In fact, her first novel, A Place for Us, was a certified bestseller in the New York Times. That first novel of hers was published by Sarah Jessica Parker’s new imprint, SJP for Hogarth. The actress herself called her to let her know that the novel would be published right when she was stepping out of the subway.

9. Terry Crews and Rebecca King-Crews

Rebecca might be recognized by the masses as Terry Crews’ wife, but she has achieved a lot of things in her own right. She became an actress at a young age, playing roles in theater productions and on the big screen. She is also a singer, and many of her roles in the theater have been in musicals, like portraying Deena in Dreamgirls. She founded her very own music company and is also running an entertainment production company.

10. Kacey Musgraves and Cole Schafer

Cole seems to be a man with quite a few jobs, with his main one being in the advertising industry. He also owns an independent press company, where he’s a copywriter. He has described his job as selling things by using pretty words. And his talent with words goes even further, since he is also a poet and writer.

He has already published 3 poetry anthologies and short stories. He and Kacey started dating in 2021 and have shared a few photos together on their social media profiles.

11. Gal Gadot and Yaron Varsano

The couple met through mutual friends at a party in the desert where it was all about yoga, chakras, and eating healthy. Despite him being 10 years older than her, they fell in love and decided to get married in 2008. Varsano and his brother co-created and built a hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel, which they sold in 2015. He seems to be very supportive of Gal’s career, attending most of her premieres and other public outings.

12. Zoe Saldaña and Marco Perego

The actress and Marco have been happily married since 2013 and according to Zoe’s comments, it looks like they are a match made in heaven. Marco used to be a soccer player when he was still living in Italy, but had to leave that behind when he injured his leg. That’s when he decided to move to New York and be a full-time artist. His paintings soon became a success, and they now sell for $30,000 each.

13. Brendon Urie and Sarah Orzechowski

The 2 of them have been together for many years, tying the knot back in 2013. And it was Paramore’s Hayley Williams who introduced them and helped them start their relationship. In 2013, Sarah made an appearance on a TV show, which was her debut, with her main job being her social media account. She is a beauty enthusiast, and she uses her influence to promote products.
