From Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who met on set, to celeb couples like Emma and Matt Willis who caught eyes backstage, we take a look back at how these married celebrities met their loved ones at work…

Speaking to Cosmopolitan, she revealed: "I walked into John's dressing room to meet him, and he was ironing in his underwear. I said, 'You do your own ironing!?' He said, 'Of course I do.' I gave him a hug."

Michelle and Barack Obama

The former US President Barack Obama met his now-wife Michelle when they worked together back in 1989. They were both employees of the same law firm, Sidley & Austin and Michelle was actually assigned as Barack's mentor.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher started dating in 2012 and got married in 2015, and they now share two children together, however it was way back in 1998 when the couple first met on-screen.

Revealing that she is still their manager, during Ant and Dec's first ever I'm A Celebrity trial, Ant said: "Dec's wife is our manager so she would have signed all of this off!"
