Celebrity Couples are just like average couples when it comes to meeting and finding their significant other. They can meet his or her future spouse either by working together on a TV Show, Movie, meeting at an audition, events, award shows, and parties, to name a couple of ways.
One of the most endearing ways certain celebrity couples have found love is after being set up by mutual friends!
