These Are The Actors’ Wives Who Have Broken Millions Of Women’s Hearts
At some point in our lives, we’ve all fawned over actors. If it’s the muscly Matthew McConaughey, the sweet Paul Rudd, or the dashing Mahershala Ali, who can blame us? Do you ever wonder who these movie stars’ real-life dates are? As a result, we’ve compiled a list of the most dashing men’s partners in Hollywood. Join us as we meet the wives and girlfriends of some of the actors who have broken millions of hearts.
Adam Driver and Joanne Tucker
Some of the actors on this list maintain a high level of secrecy. And we can’t say we blame them. Who wants cameras with long lenses protruding from bushes? Or are there people chasing your car? That is not the case with us. In 2013, actor Adam Driver married actress, Joanne Tucker. They had a son at one point and managed to keep him hidden for a whopping two years! The only reason the secret was revealed was that Channing Tatum, Driver’s co-star, made a mistake.
Jesse Eisenberg and Anna Strout
Anna Strout was actor Jesse Eisenberg’s longtime girlfriend, dating for a decade after meeting on the set of a movie. They later broke up while the actor dated Mia Wasikowska, a co-star, from 2013 to 2015.

Despite their short breakup, it appears that this couple was meant to be. In 2017, they reconciled and married. They have a son named Banner and have been seen volunteering at a domestic violence shelter in New York.

In 2011, Henry Golding met Liv Lo, a Taiwanese TV presenter and yoga teacher. Lyla, the couple’s daughter, was born in 2021 after the couple married in 2016. Since then, the actor has said that becoming a father “puts everything in perspective,” adding, “It has allowed me to focus on what really matters in life.”
Aaron Paul and Lauren Parsekian
Breaking Bad made its entire cast stars when it premiered on TV. Fans adored Aaron Paul’s portrayal of Jessie Pinkman, who was both chaotic and endearing. He was also well-liked by critics, as evidenced by his three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor.

Riz Ahmed and Fatima Farheen Mirza
Riz Ahmed, a British actor, recently married author Fatima Farheen Mirza. In a secret lockdown wedding in 2020, the newlyweds tied the knot. The actor recalled, “We did it in a backyard, which is nice in lots of ways. And I think the nicest thing about it was you didn’t have 500 aunties hanging around you, pinching your cheeks.”

The couple made viewers swoon at the 2021 Academy Awards when Ahmed stopped to fix his wife’s hair. Their red carpet walk became an internet sensation. The ultimate couple goals!

Isabella, Stella, and Gia are the names of the couple’s three daughters. Luciana also has a daughter from a previous marriage, Alexia Barroso. Damon explained how they met when asked how they met, “I literally saw her across a crowded room and eight years and four kids later, that’s my life.”
Patrick Dempsey and Jillian Fink
For some of us, Patrick Dempsey will always be one half of MerDer, but he does have a wife in real life. We know, it’s shocking. In 1999, the dashing actor married Jillian Fink, and the couple is still going strong.

Jillian worked as Patrick’s hairstylist for three years before they started dating. They now have three children together: Talula, a daughter, and Sullivan and Darby, twin sons. Despite filing for divorce in 2015, they later reconciled and called the whole thing off. Phew!

Bruce Willis and Emma Heming
Emma Hemming, an English-American model, is Bruce Willis’ wife. She is 23 years younger than her movie star husband, which is perhaps unsurprising. In Turks and Caicos, they married in a stunning ceremony. Mabel and Evelyn are the couple’s two daughters.
Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara
It’s only natural that actors gravitate toward other professionals in their field. Actors Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara are perfect examples of this. The couple met in 2012 while working on a film together, but didn’t get romantically involved for another four years.

Joaquin and Rooney, who are 11 years apart in age, got engaged in 2019, but have yet to walk down the aisle. They do, however, have a son named River, who was born in the year 2020.

George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin
George Clooney was Hollywood’s ultimate bachelor for decades. The majority of us believed the silver-haired fox would never be able to settle down. Amal Alamuddin, on the other hand, proved us all wrong. George Clooney married Amal Clooney, a Lebanese-British human rights lawyer, in Venice in 2014.

Christian Bale and Sibi Blažić
According to Christian Bale, “Everyone was divorced in my family so I didn’t have very healthy ideas about marriage. Then I met Sibi and suddenly it seemed a fantastic idea.” Sibi worked as a stunt driver on one of Bale’s films, which is incredible.
Paul Rudd and Julie Yaeger
Paul Rudd, the endearing actor, is a different kind of Hollywood leading man. The actress has appeared in comedies, superhero films, and popular television shows. Right after his big break in Clueless, Paul Rudd met his future wife Julie Yaeger in a publicist’s office.

Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
