When Lana Del Ray married airboat captain Jeremy Dufrene recently, it wasn’t just the speed at which they went from hard-launching their relationship to getting wed that caught people’s attention. Instead, it was the fact that Lana was marrying a ‘normal’ guy, rather than a fellow celebrity, that got tongues wagging. As one You magazine staffer said: ‘I’m just obsessed with the fact she’s married an alligator man’ (Dufrene guides tourists through swamps and marshes to experience local wildlife, including alligators, herons and egrets). Of course, we’re all unique and special in our own way, so there’s no such thing as ‘normal’, but it is quite a thrill to see celebrities getting hitched to averages Joes like us – that is, people with fairly everyday jobs and no hint of the A-list about them. And Lana Del Ray is far from alone in choosing a life partner whose world is fairly removed from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood…Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn Ed and Cherry were childhood sweethearts, having grown up together in the same Suffolk town. They were friends while growing up and attending Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham, though their relationship wasn’t romantic until much later. They rekindled their romance in 2014 and tied the knot in a small ceremony five years later. Seaborn reportedly works at Deloitte within the world climate team, and the couple have two children.Paul Rudd and Julie Yaeger After his breakout role in Clueless (1995), Rudd moved to New York and got a publicist. When he arrived in the city, Rudd went straight to his publicist’s office, where Yaeger also worked as a publicist herself. The story goes that Rudd was late for an audition, so Yaeger offered to drop Rudd’s bags at his friend’s apartment. A few days later, hardly knowing a single soul in Manhattan, he asked her out for lunch, and the rest is history. They married in 2003 and have two children.Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney The actress and the art dealer began dating in 2018 after they were introduced by a mutual friend. Lawrence and Cooke became engaged in February 2019, before tying the knot in Rhode Island that October. The performer revealed that she was pregnant in September 2021, and gave birth to a son named Cy (named after his favourite artist Cy Twombly) the following February.James Corden and Julia Carey In 2009, Carey was working for the non-profit Save the Children, when friend Dominic Cooper asked his friend Corden to attend one of the organisation’s events. Corden was smitten from the moment he saw her. “I said, ‘Hi, Jules. You might be the most beautiful woman in the world,’” The Late Late Show host recalled to People Magazine. “She said, ‘Well, thank you very much. That sounds like something you say a lot.’ And I said, ‘I’ve never said it before in my life.’ That was it. That was it, really. I was in. And by an absolute miracle, so was she.”The couple moved back to the UK last summer after a long stint living in LA where James hosted the The Late Late Show.Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe The couple first met when Redmayne walked in a charity fashion show in 2000, when he was attending Eton College. ‘I was this pasty, freckly guy and when I came on, the girls in the audience didn’t take much notice of me,’ Redmayne has recalled. He did, however, clock Bagshawe: ‘She was very beautiful and very funny and she loves the arts and theatre just as I do, so we became friends.’They later started dating in January 2012 after Eddie invited Hannah, a financial publicist, on a trip to Florence during a shooting break for Les Miserables. The couple got engaged in June 2014 and went on to tie the knot in December that year at the Babington House. Eddie and Hannah are the parents of eight-year-old daughter Iris, eight, and six-year old son Luke.Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley Margot and Tom first encountered each other while working on Suite Française in 2013, where he was an assistant director and she was in front of the camera. ‘I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,’ she told People previously of their early romance.’And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him. And then it happened, and I was like, Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before,’ she saidThey started dating the following year in 2014, got married in 2016, and are currently expecting their first childMatt Damon and Luciana Barroso The couple met in a bar in Miami over 20 years ago, after Matt Damon had a long day of filming. His cast mates persuaded him to go out drinking and, begrudgingly, he acquiesced. ‘They said, “Come on” and kind of dragged me along,’ Damon told The Ellen Show in 2011. ‘I literally saw her across a crowded room and eight years and four kids later, that’s my life. I don’t know how else our paths would have crossed if that didn’t happen […] When you’re tired, suck it up and go to the bar and you might meet your wife.’Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky The superstar’s heart has been won by someone far removed from the glitz and glamour of the celebrity scene – tech CEO Michael Polansky, with even Gaga herself admitting: ‘His life and my life are very different.’The pair met in December 2019 and their relationship blossomed as Covid hit and they hunkered down in her Malibu abode for over a year, with Gaga describing the break from her busy schedule and cohabitation with the businessman as ‘really kind of special’. At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games Gaga revealed she and Polansky are engaged.David Hasselhoff and Hayley Roberts The couple met back in 2011, when David was working as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.While in Cardiff, Wales for auditions, the actor was approached for a picture by Debenhams shop assistant Hayley. The Hoff requested her phone number and they started dating.‘There’s the girl I imagined in my head that I want to spend my time with, my life with,’ he recalled after first seeing her.Hayley and David have been married since 2018, when they had a romantic and lavish ceremony in Puglia, Italy.
