9 Celebrity Couples Who Had a First Date to Remember

In showbiz, there’s nothing more common than 2 celebrities forming a couple. We know this because paparazzi and tabloids are crazy about them. However, beyond the common ones, there are love stories between celebrities that are so emotional and heartfelt, they could be part of a romantic comedy. They actually might even make you believe that love at first sight is a real thing.

Bright Side wants to share some stories about celebrity couples’ first dates that are still together today.

1. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively

Reynolds and Lively met in 2010 on the set of Green Lantern, and a year later, they had their first date at a sushi restaurant in Boston. According to an Instagram story posted by Lively, if it weren’t for that place, they wouldn’t be together today and no restaurant means more to them than the one where they knew they wanted to be together forever.

2. Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves

The Oscar-winning actor and the Brazilian model met in 2006 at a club in Los Angeles. According to McConaughey, it was love at first sight, and 3 days later, they met again at her home in Malibu.

“After that, I wanted to go on another date. And I’ve wanted to go on another date with her for the last 9 years,” he said in an interview. They have been happily married since 2012 and are the parents of 3 children.

3. Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner

The famous leader of the Jonas Brothers and the star of Game of Thrones are one of the most sought-after couples today. Their first date casually took place in a regular bar, where Jonas invited Turner by sending her a private message on Instagram.

According to the actress, it was the simplicity with which he introduced himself, in a natural way, behaving like another friend in a common place, that made her fall in love and resulted in them being married today.

4. Victoria Beckham and David Beckham

The relationship between the member of the Spice Girls and the footballer did not start in the best way, since they met in 1997 when she and her manager, Simon Fuller, went to see a match that featured the team Beckham was playing on. Fuller himself introduced them to each other after the game, although their first impressions were not very good.

2 weeks later, things settled down and Beckham was able to invite the singer to dinner, having their first date in a pub parking lot in Essex.

5. Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox

The famous punk singer took the concept of the unconventional first date to another level by bringing Megan Fox on a first date in which they both had to climb all the way to the rooftop of a building to see the view of the city. And if that wasn’t enough, on their second meeting, they swam in a lake with sharks on the island of Bora Bora, proving to be a couple that doesn’t shy away from extreme challenges.

6. Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara

The relationship between the singer and the actor of the Spy Kids saga began on a karaoke and bowling night they shared with another couple. They kissed for the first time in the alley of the place, and according to what she said, she asked her security to wait outside because she didn’t want them to be seen.

They married in 2018, and in 2021 they had their first child, Riley.

7. Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault

The relationship between the Mexican actress and the French businessman began in a strange way when she attended an event to which she was invited by her friends. However, she was unaware that she was actually going on a blind date. At the same time, he thought she knew they were going to meet, so it was an awkward first date for both of them.

Luckily, they were able to bounce back from that failed first meeting and have been married since 2009, and they are now parents to a daughter.

8. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been a steady couple since 1983. After meeting on the set of the movie, Swing Shift, the 2 actors went on their first date at a club. Afterward, the 2 continued the night at a house that the actress had recently bought for remodeling.

9. Cardi B and Offset

The rapper couple had their first date, more or less, at one of the most anticipated events in American culture, The Super Bowl. According to what he said, he wanted their first meeting to be something big, something that wasn’t normally done, so he took the initiative to take her to the highly-anticipated football game.

They have been married since 2017 and are the parents of 2 children.
