Some celebrities have revealed to the media that they fell in love with their significant other at first sight. Let's have a look at some of their romantic stories.

Love at first ironing

They met on the set of Legend's music video 'Stereo'. "I walked into John's dressing room to meet him, and he was ironing in his underwear. I said, ‘You do your own ironing!?’ He said, ‘Of course I do.’ I gave him a hug," Teigen said to Cosmopolitan.

George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin: She was the one

George Clooney was always considered a golden bachelor, but when he met his current wife, Amal, he knew she was the one.

"I wondered if I'd have a chance"

"I knew when I met her that she was so extraordinary and special. And then I wondered if I'd ever get a chance to date her," said the actor about the mother of his twins. They got married in 2014.

David and Victoria Beckham: attraction from the get-go

Another case of love at first sight is the one of  David and Victoria Beckham, who married in 1999 and have four children.

He fell in love when he saw her in a video

David has told the media that he liked Victoria from the moment he saw her. She appeared in a Spice Girls music video wearing a seductive catsuit. "I was sitting in a room with Gary Neville and the Spice Girls were on TV and I turned to him and said, 'Oh, I like that girl in the little black suit.'"

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves: the right person at the right time

Matthew McConaughey once commented that he fell in love with his wife, Camila Alves, because she was the right person at the right time.

He was very impressed

"Right away, I wanted to ask her out. I didn't say, 'Who is that.' I said, 'WHAT is that,'the actor told Oprah Winfrey about the first time he saw the Brazilian model. "We had a great connection. I spoke better Spanish and Portuguese that night than ever in my life."

Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso: a beautiful love story

Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, have a beautiful love story. The actor fell in love with Barroso at first sight. They've been married since 2005.

'A ray of light was shining on her'

"I saw her on the other side of the place (a bar), and it was as if there was a ray of light that shone on her, she radiated joy. I said, 'I have to talk to this person,'" the actor said about the first time he met Luciana, who worked as a bartender at the time.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: the woman of his life

Prince Harry was known to party a lot, but when he met his now-wife, the actress Meghan Markle, he knew immediately that she would be the woman of his life.

'The most beautiful woman I have ever seen'

According to the book 'Finding Freedom,' based on stories by insiders, Harry almost froze when he walked into the room and saw Meghan. He knew she was beautiful, because he had seen pictures of her on her Instagram account, but she was more impressive in person. Later, he confessed to a friend: 'Meghan is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.'

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren: instant attraction

The connection between Jessica Alba and Cash Warren was such that it led them down the aisle in 2008. From the first moment the actress saw her now-husband, she felt an instant attraction.

'I feel like I've known him forever'

"Right after meeting Cash, I called my best friend and said, 'I met this guy and I feel like I've known him forever and will know him for the rest of my life,'" the actress told Cosmopolitan in 2010.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi: immediate crush

Portia de Rossi, Ellen DeGeneres' wife since 2008, said that when she saw the talkshow host, she felt an immediate crush.

'Ellen took my breath away'

"Ellen took my breath away. That had never happened to me in my life, seeing someone and feeling all those things that you hear in songs and read in poetry. My knees were weak," De Rossi told The Advocate about meeting Ellen backstage at an awards show.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones: a daring pick-up line

Michael Douglas once said that when he saw Catherine Zeta-Jones, he was so impressed with her that he said: "Catherine, I am going to be the father of your children."

A lasting marriage

Although he came onto her a little strong, the actor's strategy worked and they've been together ever since. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have been married for more than twenty years and have two children.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian: love at first sight

They are no longer together, but Kanye West's love for Kim Kardashian started the first moment he first saw her. The couple had a relationship of many years and four children together. In 2021 they ended their stormy romance.

Kanye West saw her on a photo

"I just knew I wanted her to be my girlfriend for a long time," Kanye said in an interview with Ryan Seacrest. He didn't exactly know her name at the beginning. "I remember seeing a photo of her and Paris Hilton, and I remember saying to my friend, 'Have you seen that girl, Kim Kar-dijon?'"

Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef

Something similar happened to Ricky Martin with his former husband, Jwan Yosef. He said he lost his breath when he saw Jwan for the first time. He'd contacted him about his work as a painter. In 2023, they announced their separation.

'I'm going to marry him'

The beginning was very intense and romantic. As Ricky Martin told Attitude, "I contacted him and we talked for six months. We just sent each other messages, talking about life and existential things... Not that he was sending me intimate photos and vice versa, I swear... But the first time I saw him, I said, 'I'm going to marry this man.' And apparently, he said the same thing."
