Actors Who Married Their Costars

From Jon Hamm and Anna Osceola to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, see how these stars went from exchanging lines to exchanging vows

While every Hollywood love story has its own unique twists, these couples all have one thing in common: before saying "I do," they were costars!

Whether it took them years to find their way back to each other, like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez or Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, or they tied the knot while still working together, these couples all have some pretty cute stories to share.

From Jon Hamm and Anna Osceola's Mad Men beginnings to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelo's soap opera fairytale, here's a look at couples who went from exchanging lines to exchanging vows.

Jon Hamm & Anna Osceola

Jon Hamm and Anna Osceola tied the knot in June 2023, but the two actually first crossed paths in 2015 after Osceola landed a small role on Mad Men's final episode.

The couple have been together since 2020 and in February 2023, PEOPLE confirmed their engagement.

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds first met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010 with Reynolds playing the titular superhero character and Lively as his love interest, Carol Ferris. While at the time, the pair were both in other relationships, they were both single again by the end of the year and in October 2011 started to spark dating rumors.

The two got married in September 2012 and welcomed their first child, James, in 2014. Now, the stars are proud parents of four: James, Inez, Betty and a fourth baby they welcomed in 2023.

Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher's love story is a Hollywood fairy tale. After first meeting on the set of That '70s Show as on-and-off couple Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso in the late 1990s, the two had long-term relationships with other partners.

In 2011, Kutcher and his wife, Demi Moore, announced they were getting a divorce after six years of marriage and Kunis' relationship with Macaulay Culkin came to an end after eight years.

The former costars then started casually dating in 2012 before getting engaged in 2014. That same year, the couple welcomed their first child, Wyatt, and in 2015 they wed.

The couple is now parents of two, welcoming their son, Dimitri, in 2016.

While Kit Harington and Rose Leslie knew each other before starring in season 2 of Game of Thrones, Harington said that it was while filming those scenes in 2011 that they fell in love.

"The three weeks in Iceland when we were shooting the second season. Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love," he told L'Uomo Vogue. "If you're already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it becomes very easy to fall in love."

After dating rumors began to swirl in 2012, the pair took a brief break before reuniting in 2014.

In 2017, the couple announced their engagement before officially becoming husband and wife in June 2018.

The two share one son, whose birth they confirmed in 2021, and in 2023, Harington shared that they would soon be a family of four.

It was within seconds, really, and it just became a thing.”
