Some of us are fortunate enough to meet our favorite actor or actress once in a lifetime. But, what if we told you that a few lucky fans are married to their celebrity crushes?

We all love stories with a happy ending. We also love fairytales.

Stories we have prepared for you here are a combination of both. Real-life fairytales of regular people who married their celeb crushes.

Of course, some of them didn’t turn out to be fairytales, neither did they have a happy ending, but for a while, that’s what they appeared to be (Cruise and Holmes).

Many of these marriages fail because it is not easy being married to a celeb. Their life implies travels, public appearances, and, most importantly, many more fans.

Let's be honest, It is hard to remain faithful when so many people out there made romanticizing with you their bucket list entry. So we genuinely admire celebs who managed to make their marriages work, no matter if they are married to a star or a „regular“ person.

Well, without further ado, this is our list of people who got to mary their celebrity crush (regardless of how it turned out later). Enjoy.
