The Devil Wears Prada sparked a second romance after its leading lady Anne, introduced her co-star Emily to actor John Krasinski.

Appearing on a 2011 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Office alum John admitted he "wasn't really looking for a relationship" when the star moved to Los Angeles.

But he changed his mind when he first set eyes on The Jungle Cruise's Emily.

John recalled: "Then I met her, and I was so nervous. I was like, 'Oh god, I think I'm going to fall in love with her.'

"It's one of those things where as soon as you meet someone you kind of know."

The couple got married at the Villa D'este in Como, Italy, in July 2010, and they welcomed daughters Hazel and Violet into the world in 2014 and 2017, respectively.

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara - Chloe Grace Moretz

Meghan has Oh. What. Fun. actress Chloe to thank for her strong romance with Spy Kids star Daryl.

During an appearance on comedienne Chelsea Handler's eponymous Netflix Show, All About That Bass hitmaker Meghan explained: "I asked every person I met since day one, 'Find me a boyfriend!' Like, especially new friends too."

The Grammy award-winning singer then recalled: "Chloe Grace Moretz is a friend of mine, and day one of meeting her, I was like, 'You know anybody that I could date? Or love? Whatever.

"And she's like, 'I know the nicest guy in the world, Daryl, and you should meet him.'

"I was like, 'Daryl? OK.'"

Meghan and Daryl said "I do" at their Los Angeles home in December 2018.

The couple welcomed sons Riley and Barry, as well as daughter Mikey - via surrogate - into the world in 2021, 2023 and 2026, respectively.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux - Robert Downey Jr.

In 2007, Justin and Robert were in Hawaii shooting the comedy-war film, Tropic Thunder - which came out the following year.

Iron Man star Robert threw a dinner party and invited actress Jennifer, who was on a trip at the time.

Robert recalled to Details: β€œHe and Jen fell in a real, legit fashion. And he was willing from the jump to make sacrifices."

Justin told the magazine that he and Friends legend Jennifer bonded over "memories of gnomes and beeswax sculptures and other accouterments of the Waldorf grade-schooling they both received".

Jennifer and Justin got hitched at their Bel Air mansion in August 2015.

However, they announced their "lovingly made" decision to divorce in February 2018.
