Dating a fellow celebrity is a pretty common thing in Hollywood. In fact, most celebrities are dating or married to another celebrity whom they met on a movie set or the red carpet. Dating an employee on the other hand is a bit rarer than that, but it still happens.
From famous musicians like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera to Hollywood stars such as Natalie Portman and Patrick Dempsey — keep on scrolling to see just which celebrities got romantically involved with their employees.
10 Natali Portman
Kicking the list off is the Israeli-born American actress Natali Portman who you might recognize from movies such as No Strings Attached and Black Swan. While filming Black Swan in 2009, Portman started dating her on-set choreographer Benjamin Millepied. They got married three years later and they have two children together.
Taking a role in Black Swan was definitely a good move for Natali Portman — she got an Oscar and a husband thanks to it.
9 Patrick Dempsey
Let's move onto the Grey's Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey, who has not only dated two of his employees — he also married them. First, he was married to his manager and acting coach Rochelle Parker. At the time he was only 21 years old, while she was 48. After divorcing her, Dempsey started dating and later married his stylist and make-up artist, Jillian Fink, with whom he has three children.
8 Britney Spears
Just like Patrick Dempsey, Britney Spears is also not a stranger to dating and marrying multiple of her employees. First, in 2004, she started dating one of her dancers, Kevin Federline. After only three months of dating, they got engaged, and eventually even married. They have two children together.
The Princess of Pop also dated her manager, Jason Trawick, from 2010 to 2013. The couple even got engaged, but they eventually called it off.
7 Rob Lowe
Another celebrity who fell in love with their personnel is the Parks and Recreation actor Robe Lowe. Back in 1990, while he was filming the psychological thriller movie Bad Influence, Lowe met and started dating his makeup artist, Sheryl Berkoff. The couple got married one year later and they remain married to this day, despite sexual harassment accusations from two of his former nannies.
6 Jennifer Lopez
Back in the late '00s, the "On The Floor" singer started dating Criss Judd, who she had hired to direct the music video for her single "Love Don't Cost A Thing". Judd and Lopez got married eventually, but after less than a year together, they decided to get divorced. Jennifer Lopez also made headlines for dating her backup dancer Casper Smart back in 2011, but that relationship didn't last either.
5 Usher
Let's move onto Usher who is also not a stranger to getting a bit more personal with his personnel. First, the "Nice & Slow" singer dated and eventually married his personal stylist, Tameka Foster, back in 2007.

After Foster, the famous singer started dating his manager Grace Miguel. They were married from 2015 until 2018.
4 Heidi Klum
Supermodel Heidi Klum is next on our list — she dated her bodyguard Martin Kristen from 2012 to 2014. She confirmed her relationship with Kristen back in 2012 during a televised interview with Katie Couric. While talking about their relationship, Klum said: "He's been with our family for the last four years. He's cared for our entire family, mostly for our four children, helped us tremendously. I trust him with my children's life. He's a great man, you know, and we just got to know each other from a completely different side."
3 Arnold Schwarzenegger
Austrian-American actor and the former governor of California has also had a relationship with one of his employees. In 2011 the media started reporting that Schwarzenegger had had an affair and fathered a child with his housekeeper 14 years ago, while he was married to his wife Maria Shriver. Schwarzenegger admitted to having an affair in a statement for Time Magazine, where he said: "After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago. I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family."
2 Christina Aguilera
Let's move on to singer and former Micky Mouse Club star, Christina Aguilera, who dated her backup dancers, Jorge Santos, back at the beginning of her career.
