The modern rhythm of life dictates new conditions and circumstances of acquaintance. Very often people are so busy with work or social activities that they simply cannot afford to stop and look around in search of their soul mate. In this case, blind dates can be a good alternative. Recently, they are increasingly organized not by marriage agencies, but by friends or acquaintances of a potential couple. And even those celebrities who were not at all going to tie themselves by marriage, suddenly change their views when they meet their love.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Perhaps Prince Harry could remain a bachelor today if not for his longtime friend Violet von Westenholz, who was friends with Meghan Markle at the same time. The aristocrat, who had been friends with Prince Harry since childhood, came up with a seemingly completely crazy idea to arrange a blind date for her friends. Harry agreed almost immediately, and Megan, before embarking on this adventure, only asked if her potential boyfriend was sympathetic. At the same time, Harry did not see a single film with Megan's participation, and the girl, in turn, like many Americans, did not feel any awe of the British royal family. The date turned out to be extremely successful and led to the following romantic meetings. And soon the second child will be born in this family.

George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin

The actor, who experienced several disappointments in personal relationships and a divorce from Talia Bolsam, was sure that nothing could force him to voluntarily marry. But one day a friend called him and said that he would now come to visit with a friend. George Clooney's agent even stated with confidence that a woman who would become his wife was about to cross the threshold of the actor's house. Clooney just laughed. But Amal at first sight was able to win the heart not only of George Clooney himself, but also of his parents, who were present at the first meeting of their son and his future wife. George and Amal exchanged email addresses, and then corresponded for some time, until Clooney decided to ask the beauty out on a date. Now the actor is not only a happy husband, but also the father of charming twins.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilary Burton

During the filming of the series "Supernatural" Jensen Ackles decided by all means to make Jeffrey Dean Morgan happy with an acquaintance with a charming girl, and therefore invited him to spend the evening with himself, his wife and their mutual friend, actress Hilary Burton. The first meeting flowed smoothly into the first date, followed by 10 years of romantic relationship, which ended in a marriage concluded in early October 2019. Even before the wedding, the actors became the parents of two children, a son and a daughter.

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky

If it were not for the accent of these actors and the insistent desire of the dialect coach to introduce the Spaniard Elsa and the Australian Chris to each other, they might never have learned that they cannot live without each other. The lady who helped both told Chris about Els, and Els about Chris, each time convincing her charges of the need to get to know each other. In the end, they agreed, and the coach gave them each other's phone numbers. Later, Elsa will tell that her sympathy for Chris arose after the very first telephone conversation. The low and deep timbre of her voice completely conquered Elsa Pataki. And Chris, barely seeing Elsa, immediately realized that fate gave him a chance to be happy. And he simply could not help but take advantage of this chance.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski

The friendship of the actress with her colleague Anne Hathaway was not only very pleasant in itself, but also gave Emily a meeting with the main man in her life. Ann, who was friends with both actors, was sure that this couple could become an ideal family. Ann's expectations did not disappoint, and the acquaintance of Emily and John ended in a happy marriage that had lasted for 10 years.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt

When Brad Pitt just broke up with Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Aniston ended her relationship with Tate Donovan, the actors' agents decided to introduce them at all costs. In general, their calculation turned out to be very correct. This meeting and the subsequent romantic relationship allowed both to get rid of love wounds and find peace of mind for a while. They got married in July 2000, but after only five years, the actors decided to leave.

Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady

The top model admitted in one of her interviews that in 2007 all friends and acquaintances tried to find a gentleman for Giselle. They even arranged blind dates for her. Acquaintance with Tom Brady was the third in a row and, unlike the previous ones, she instantly fell in love with his warm kind eyes. The American football player conquered her at first sight and, as it turned out, forever. For two years, Giselle and Tom met, and in February 2009 they became husband and wife. They still have not lost their ardent passion in their relationship, and the fruit of their unearthly love was the birth of a son and daughter.

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault

Salma Hayek answered Mimma Viglesio's proposal to arrange an acquaintance with François-Henri Pinault with a categorical and extremely indignant “no”. For some reason, she decided that they wanted to marry her to François-Henri's father, Pino Sr. When the meeting did take place, the actress and the billionaire realized that they would make a good couple at all. True, their relationship was constantly shaken by passions, but still they were able to bring the matter to marriage. 12 years have passed since their wedding, and together they are more than 15.

Salma Hayek is an amazingly talented and harmonious actress. It was her finally managed to return her heroine to Mexico Frida Kahlo.
