It would be a fairy tale story if everyone could get married or marry the celebrity they crush on. Well, there are people who are living that dream. Here are some who won the jackpot, an proves that devotion really works.
1. Elvis Presley
The King of Rock and Roll’s friend spotted a then 14-year-old Priscilla in a crowd and he offered to introduce her to Elvis. After getting permission from her parents she did. “I was so nervous,” she said according to Elvis Australia. “I really didn’t know what to say. I was quite shy.” The two got married when she was 21 in Las Vegas.
Steve Harvey
The comedian and tv host met his wife Marjorie back in 1990 when she went to a Memphis Comedy club. He spotted her and said on stage, “I don’t know who you are but I’m going to marry you.”
3. Nicholas Cage
The actor met Alice Kim when she was 19 while she was working as a waitress in a restaurant in 2004. The two were married for 11 years and have a son together named Kal-el.
4. Amber Rose
People may assume it was the other way around but Wiz Khalifa was the fan of the TV host before they got married. “He did an interview about me,” she told Us Weekly “and the guy who interviewed him asked, ‘If there was one girl in the world who would you be with?’ He said ‘Amber Rose,’ and then I hit him on twitter, and I said, ‘That’s really cute’ and we fell in love!”
5.Julia Roberts
When Daniel Moder met Julia Roberts in 2000, he was already a huge fan. He acted as cinematographer on her film, The Mexican, and the pair hit it off. Following his divorce from his first wife and her separation from long-time partner Benjamin Bratt, the two married in 2002.
Thus far, they’ve managed to sustain one of the longer marriages in Hollywood. They have three children, and keep a relatively low profile despite her perpetual A-list status
6. Mariah Carey
If you grew up in the 1980s or ’90s, it’s almost a given that you knew and loved Mariah Carey. But in Nick Cannon’s case, he got to translate his long-term crush on the pop songstress into a full-fledged romance. The couple married in 2008, and Carey gave birth to their children, fraternal twins, on their third wedding anniversary in 2011.
Sadly, the couple separated in 2014 and ultimately divorced in 2016
7. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Though that didn’t exactly work out for Katie Holmes in the end, she did have the distinct honor of having an adolescent dream come true. In 2005, she met Tom Cruise, who she’d pined after as a teenager. Shortly thereafter, the two began a whirlwind — and occasionally surreal — courtship that ended in a lavish 2006 wedding. Following rumors of marital strain due to Cruise’s devotion to Scientology, Holmes divorced her superstar husband in 2012.
These are just but a few, proving that nothing is impossible, if it is within your lie of fate. So keep on crushing you never know, maybe you are next, like Lupita Nyongo said, “your dreams are valid”
