After watching countless Disney movies and flipping through hundreds of romance stories, we can’t help but wonder if fairytale relationship and love lives truly DO exist in our normal, mundane world.
We’re here to tell you that yes, they can exist in real life and Cupid has five celebrity couple ‘how we met’ stories to prove it!
1. Carey Mulligan & Marcus Mumford
Celebrity couple Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford started out as childhood pen pals! Over the years, they had lost touch with one another as their lives sped up and pulled them in other directions. As fate would have it, the old friends reunited after Mulligan attended a Mumford & Sons house party. Not long after that, the two became a famous couple tying the knot after less than a year of dating! They still write to each other during busy times, except now they’re love letters!
2. Kate Middleton & Prince William
We may think we know how Kate Middleton and Prince William met (at St. Andrew’s University, of course), but according to the Royal Biographer behind Middleton’s biography, the famous couple actually crossed paths before they attended St. Andrew’s. The royal couple met through mutual friends and then got to know each other better when they arrived at university. Rumor also has it that Middleton was originally going to go to an Edinburgh University, but she then decided against it and applied to St. Andrew’s instead!

David Beckham jokes that his celebrity wife chose him out of a sticker book and that he chose her “off the telly” when he saw the Spice Girls music video for “Say You’ll Be There”.
