Celebrities don’t always marry fellow celebs. Many famous people, for whatever personal reason they have, prefer to be married to a spouse who isn’t generally in the limelight. Of course sometimes celebrities weren’t celebrities when they choose their other halves, in which case they wouldn’t have had to think through this possibility in the first place. The most heart-warming stories though are of couples that simply fell in love, without taking anything except their feelings into account. When their marriages last, it is indeed an inspiration. And sometimes they do!
