Normal Marriages
Celebrities are normally caught up in their own culture. Living the high life always has its advantages, but it can sometimes make it difficult for A-list celebs to try to live a normal life.
But some celebrities decided that they wanted at least half of their life to be normal. And what better way to feel grounded in reality than to marry someone who doesn’t live the celeb life. The following celebrities all married ordinary people.
Matt Damon And Luciana Barroso
Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso met when the actor was filming the movie “Stuck On You.” She was a bartender at a local bar that Damon frequented while working on the nearby set.
The couple has been married since 2005 and has just celebrated their 17th year anniversary. They also have four children together. The two even promise to never be apart for more than two weeks.
Julia Roberts And Danny Moder
Julia Roberts is one of the most iconic actresses still in the business today. She has appeared in iconic movies like Pretty Woman. But she fell in love with Danny Moder while on the set of The Mexican.
Danny Moder was a cinematographer and a camera operator in the movie. The two quickly hit it off and never looked back. The two have three children together.
Gal Gadot And Yaron Varsano
Gal Gadot is the newest female heroine to grace us on the big screen. The “Wonderwoman” actress has found critical acclaim after starring in just two of the franchise’s movies. But she’s been married to an ordinary man years before she played the role.
Yaron Varsano met Gadot while the two were at a festival in the desert. They’ve been married for nearly over a decade, and they even have two children together.
Christian Bale And Sibi Blažić
The English actor Christian Bale needs no introduction. He’s been in the business for a while and has acted in movies like The Dark Knight films and American Psycho. He’s married to a friend of Wynona Ryder - Sibi Blazic.
The two met through Ryder and hit it off immediately. At the time, Sibi had aspirations of being a model. The two lead a private life together away from the paparazzi.
Jerry And Jessica Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld has been in the comedy business longer than most can remember. He starred in his own sitcom, aptly called “Seinfeld.” Most recently, he’s been conducting interesting interviews with celebrities.
He and his wife got together not long after Jessica split from her fiance after their honeymoon. Even though this sparked controversy, the two have said it isn’t how it seems.
Jon Bon Jovi And Dorothea Hurley
Not all celebrities need to be actors, as legendary Jon Bon Jovi shows us. The lead singer from the band Bon Jovi was releasing records decades ago. But Jon decided he’d marry someone away from the spotlight.
He married Dorothea Hurley out of high school. The two were together for nine years before they decided to tie the knot. They now have four children together, which shows their commitment to each other.
Meryl Streep And Don Gummer
Meryl Streep also sits as one of the most influential actresses of her time. But tragedy struck when her then-boyfriend passed away from lung cancer. She met Don Gummer soon after, and the two quickly felt a connection.
He helped her move on and not grieve alone. The two have been married for over four decades and have four children together.
Reese Witherspoon And Jim Toth
The story of Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth started with Toth protecting her from one of his drunken friends that came on a little too strong at a party. He was her then talent agent, and a year after the incident, the two were married.
The two had a child together in 2012, and Witherspoon has kids from her previous marriage. The two are still going strong today.
Ken Jeong And Tran Ho
Ken Jeong was an accomplished doctor for years before he was recognized to have talent in acting as well. He was in The Hangover and later got to be a recurring character in the series “Community.”
But Jeong’s wife is nothing but accomplished too. She’s also a general practitioner. Jeong married Tran Ho after meeting her at a happy hour bar for single doctors. The two now have two children together.
Jon And Tracey Stewart
Jon Stewart is a comedian and writer. He was the host of The Daily Show for 16 years. He met Tracey McShane on a blind date, and the chemistry between them was instant. He proposed on the New York Times Crossword.

Kevin And Danielle Jonas
Kevin Jonas is one of the brothers from the musical group The Jonas Brothers. Now much older, Kevin is married to Danielle Deleasa, now Danielle Jonas. Both of his brothers are married to celebs, so he sets himself apart from them.
The two married in 2009, which made Danielle instantly famous by association. She’s now starring in the reality series, Married to Jonas.
Aaron And Lauren Paul

They had a daughter in 2018, and Paul’s wife has since founded a non-profit organization to help stop bullying against young women.
Pierce Brosnan And Keely Shaye
Pierce Brosnan is a Hollywood heavyweight in his own right. He’s one of the few men that can call themselves a James Bond. The actor first saw his future wife, Kelly Shaye, on the beaches of Cabo San Lucas.
The two quickly fell in love and tied the knot in 2001. Since then, Brosnan has shown his admiration for his wife on Instagram. The couple has two children together.
