If celebrities get the love of the public, they are also often hounded by the media for details on their personal life. We, as consumers, become so invested in the lives of stars that we often also start giving our opinions about who they will look good with off-screen. This happens especially after a couple impresses audiences on the screen. Unfortunately, not everything one sees on television is real, and not every on-screen romance translates into great off-screen chemistry. In this video, however, we tell you about some of the couples that not only looked good together on the screen but also found love in each other in real life.
