Fans love to see two celebrities fall in love, but several A-list stars decided to find love outside of Hollywood, and they have had some of the most successful marriages to date.
Not all stars care about their significant other's status or fame and have found love just like normal people do. Whether it was high school sweethearts like Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley, or Matt Damon's momentous meeting with his now-wife Luciana Barroso, who was bartending when she met the star, several celebs have found love away from the limelight.
10 Kevin Jonas And Danielle Jonas
Kevin Jonas and Danielle Jonas met while the two were vacationing with their families in the Bahamas in 2007. Jonas admitted that he was smitten with her when he first laid his eyes on her, eventually getting her number from her sister and pursuing her soon after.
Jonas also shared that at the time, it was easier for him to talk to Danielle because the Jonas Brothers were just beginning their careers, and he luckily did not have a swarm of women chasing after him. The two have now been together for over 10 years and share two daughters - Alena and Valentina.
