Hollywood stars who married ordinary people

**Hollywood stars who married ordinary people**

Many celebrities with million-dollar contracts and prestigious awards have tied their lives to people from outside the film world. They could have chosen their colleagues from the cinema, but they found happiness among ordinary people.

**Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied**

Destiny gave her not only a brilliant career but also the opportunity to meet her future husband — French choreographer Benjamin Millepied. Their relationship began behind the scenes of the drama "Black Swan". There, Benjamin choreographed the dance compositions, while Natalie became an amateur ballerina.

In 2012, this relationship ended in marriage. Interestingly, Darren Aronofsky's film, which brought Portman an Oscar, also gifted her a family. Two children were born from their marriage. Unfortunately, after 11 years of living together, the couple decided to divorce.

**Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso**

The star of the film "Good Will Hunting" met his beloved by chance. In 2003, after a working day in Miami, colleagues invited the actor to a bar in the evening. He refused for a long time, but in the end, without knowing the reason himself, he accepted the invitation.

This was not in vain, because it was at that moment that Matt Damon met Luciana Barroso. Luciana worked as a waitress and was raising her daughter Alexia, but this situation did not embarrass the actor at all. This year marks 20 years since they got married. The couple has three daughters — Isabella, Gia, and Stella.

**Emma Stone and Dave McCary**

This story happened on the famous show Saturday Night Live. McCary wrote a sketch for the actress. In the process of preparing for the performance, love arose between them, and after that, they started dating.

In 2020, Stone and McCary secretly married, and shortly after, they had a child.

**Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman**

Although Hathaway's husband has played roles in several films, he is mainly engaged in jewelry making.

They first met at a party of mutual friends. At that time, the actress had divorced Raffaello Follieri, who turned out to be a fraud. Having fallen victim to deception, Hathaway kept herself away from new relationships, but Shulman was the complete opposite of her ex-husband and was a perfect fit for Anne.

They married in 2012 in Big Sur, California, and are currently raising two sons. Unlike his spouse, Adam stays out of the public eye.

**George Clooney and Amal Clooney**

Few people could have imagined that Hollywood's most famous bachelor actor, George Clooney, would ever get married. His marriage to actress Talia Balsam, which lasted from 1989 to 1994, further strengthened his belief that family life was not for him. For twenty years, Clooney did not marry, even swearing in interviews never to remarry.

However, a woman was found who forced him to change his principles. She was British-Lebanese human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin. The couple started dating in 2013, and just a year later, they got married in Venice. Currently, the spouses are raising twins — their son Alexander and daughter Ella. Although Amal sometimes appears on the red carpet, she prefers to stay out of the spotlight.

**Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves**

Matthew McConaughey, who amazed everyone in "Dallas Buyers Club", was known as a bachelor for a long time. However, in 2006, the situation completely changed in one of the bars in Los Angeles. Brazilian fashion model and designer Camila Alves did not even pay attention to the bearded guy, not realizing he was a famous actor. But Matthew's persistence paid off.

On one of the Christmas Eves, he proposed to Camila, and in June 2012, their wedding took place at a ranch in Austin. The McConaughey and Alves family has been living harmoniously for almost 20 years. They have three children named Levi, Vida, and Livingston.
