The year 2013 is slowly drawing to an end, and it’s only fitting to look back at some of the most memorable celebrity couples to grace the television screens and magazine covers. Here are Cupid’s top 10 favorite famous lovebirds of this year:
Deciding to get married is not a choice you should not make lightly. It’s different for every couple, and timing is everything.
We’re advocates of the popular rule of thumb that says it’s important to see all four seasons of a person before deciding on marriage. It’s easy to love someone in less than a year, but it’s hard to really know them in that short time frame. To truly know someone inside and out, you have to make sure you spend quality time with one another and make an effort to see each other consistently. You have to be with a person through happy times, sad times, and tough times in order to see their true colors.
Congratulations to the happy couple! According to UsMagazine.com, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, longtime couple and parents to daughter Lincoln, were finally wed this past Thursday, October 16. The two decided to have a quiet ceremony by getting married at the Beverly Hills County Clerk’s Office.
How do you keep your wedding small and intimate without offending people?
Most of the time, famous folks can’t get away from the spotlight. Rumored relationships and long-term loves alike are splashed on every magazine cover or tabloid site, making it difficult not to know who dated who in Tinseltown. Every so often, though, a celebrity couple flies so far under the radar that gossip-hungry fans miss their Hollywood romance. Read on for a list of 10 celebrity couples that you may not know existed:

Hollywood couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard laughed over lunch on Saturday, according to People. The Hit and Run costars ate at a Las Vegas burger joint with Bell’s parents. Besides their presence on screen, the two also share a similar diet. They’re both vegans, and both ordered the house made veggie patty, though Bell went for the side salad and Shepard chose waffle fries to join his lunch. “They were having a great time and were laughing together,” an onlooker said.

Putting off marriage seems to be the cool thing to do these days. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are even considering having children out of wedlock, according toUsMagazine.com. “We’ll apply the appropriate paperwork for the wills and security and such, but when he gave [the ring] to me, that meant more to me then proclaiming it in front of a group of people,” said the actress. The pair seems to be in it for the long haul, making their love for each other very obvious since they started dating in 2007.
How do you decide if having kids out of wedlock is the right decision for you?
When couples move in together they often find out that their partner isn’t the person they originally thought they were. You might be taken by surprise when you realize they’re OCD about the dishes or they’re a control freak when it comes to their possessions, but none of that compares to finding out that your partner is a member of the Witness Protection Program because they have a dirty past. Kristen Bell’s character Annie handles the element of surprise like most women would – she panics. Hit and Run is an action rom-com that will keep you guessing and definitely have you laughing. The film was written by funny man Dax Shepard who also stars as Charlie, the ex-bank-robber-getaway-driver-boyfriend, who does his best to protect Annie when she’s caught up in his mess. While you watch Charlie try to untangle the issues of his past, you might have to deal with seeing ladies man Bradley Cooper as a bad boy with some pretty bad dreads. In between the two hunks taking shots at each other, their bickering back and forth like an old married couple is the perfect comic relief.

It seems Dax Shepard has been very open about his relationship status with Kristen Bell on Twitter lately. According to Hollyscoop, the actor routinely refers to Bell as his “wife” whilst tweeting. When asked about his loving reference, however, he said, “No, we would be very hypocritical if we were secretly married after being so openly against it.” So, what’s the deal with Shepard’s wifey talk? “I’m allowed to say whatever words I want in life,” said Shepard. To drive the point home, Bell added, “He can call me bozo.”

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have been engaged for nineteen months and still couldn’t be more in love, according to UsMagazine.com. The pair showed their amour for each other on the red carpet of the Do Something Awards on Sunday in Hollywood by making out for the cameras. Bell says she loves Shepard because, “He constantly keeps me laughing: when I’m sad, mad, frustrated, annoyed. Regardless of what it is he can lighten the mood. He’ll do anything that the mood requires. I can’t get frustrated and that is a very powerful weapon. Comedy is a very powerful weapon. He’s so funny that it’s overwhelming.”

Kristen Bell recently got some age-old relationship advice from fellow actress Betty White, according to RadarOnline. Bell, whose new movie You Again hits theaters September 24, said that although White is “not super maternal,” she heard the Golden Girls actress offer an important tip. “I did hear her say [something] at one point about keeping a relationship fresh: when she would hear her husband coming home she would go put on a clean blouse or a dab of perfume. I thought that was really sweet and a wonderful way to impress your husband.”How can you keep your relationship fresh?
