8 Real Celebrity Couples Who Have Played Lovers On-Screen
Perhaps no Hollywood duo better represents the phenomenon of real-life couples who have starred together on-screen than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Ten years after memorably playing married hitmen (and kicking off their own relationship) in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the Jolie-Pitts are together on-screen again in By the Sea, which opened last week. This time, they play a troubled married couple attempting to overcome a mysterious past trauma. The film, directed by Jolie, is sure to entice viewers eager to see the couple's chemistry sizzle on-screen. Which got us thinking: what other real married celebrities have played a couple in the movies?
There have actually been many couples who either met while co-starring in a film together, or teamed up after they had already gotten married. While it must be enjoyable for them to film scenes together, it's also quite fun for the fans, who can watch the movie with the voyeuristic knowledge that the stars are actually together in real life. The following celebrity couples are not only married, but former co-stars – and deliciously fun to watch on-screen!
