Unmarried, good-looking famous people are like magnets for attractive women seeking love and perhaps financial security. Sometimes, when love is truly genuine, these celebs choose their partners based on personality rather than just looks. While everyone has different views on beauty and its importance, these six couples stand out for their unconventional choices.
1. Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan
The world’s youngest billionaire tied the knot with his college classmate. It’s said that Priscilla was one of the few who stood by Mark when he was in the early stages of developing Facebook. Before they got married, they were in a relationship for nearly nine years. According to Mark, Priscilla won his heart mainly with her down-to-earth nature and openness. Much like her billionaire spouse, Priscilla doesn’t care much for lavish purchases or the fame that came her way.
2. Hugh Laurie and Joe Green Hugh
Hugh Laurie, known for his portrayal of the eccentric and brilliant doctor, is happily wedded to theater administrator Joe Green, whom he encountered in the mid-1980s. They celebrated their lovely wedding in the summer of 1989. Over the years, they raised three children, and it appears that their bond has only deepened with time. Twenty-seven years is quite a journey, particularly considering the frequency of short-lived marriages these days.
3. Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith
The Irish James Bond, who had relationships with both Halle Berry and Denise Richards, ended up marrying an ordinary journalist. It turns out that Pierce Brosnan and Keely had been a couple for over seven years before deciding to get married. When they finally tied the knot, they already had a son, and another child was on the way. Nowadays, they’re happily living in a stylish house on the Pacific coast, paying no mind to any unkind remarks about Keely’s appearance.
4. Sergey Brin and Anna Vojitsky
One of the co-owners of Google, who holds the 16th position on the global rich list, befriended his future spouse back in their college days. Sergei was a student at Stanford, while Anna pursued biology at Yale. Their engagement took place in the Bahamas in 2007, with only a select few privy to the news. Anna, a talented young scientist with expertise in genetics, is dedicated to assisting individuals in identifying their susceptibility to particular illnesses in advance. Rumor has it that Sergei actively supports and promotes her initiatives.
5. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness
Hugh, known for his striking looks, could seemingly win over any woman, yet for over two decades, his affection has been reserved for Deborre-Lee, who happens to be 13 years his senior. During the early 1990s, she was a well-known actress, while Hugh’s name was relatively unknown. Deborre-Lee acknowledges the significance of the age gap, but she points out that Hugh has always exhibited greater maturity, creating a harmonious balance between them.
6. Josh Holloway and Yessika Kumar
The star from “Lost” has been happily married to a native Indonesian woman since 2004. Josh holds his affection for Yessica in the highest regard, ensuring that despite his demanding work commitments, he dedicates ample time to both his daughter and young son. He embodies the epitome of a devoted family man.
