The Little-Known Spouses Behind Some Of Hollywood's Biggest Stars

Naturally, those who are married to a world-famous celebrity don’t necessarily want to share that fame themselves. There are a whole host of A-listers whose partners have backed away from the spotlight so much that you might be surprised to learn they even exist. So, here’s a look at 40 husbands and wives who are more than happy to let their partner take center stage.

Emily Ratajkowski and Sebastian Bear-McClard

Emily Ratajkowski surprised everyone in February 2018 when news emerged that she’d walked down the aisle. The model’s relationship with Sebastian Bear-McClard had only become public knowledge less than two weeks previously. Ratajkowski’s husband is also in the showbiz industry as a producer, actor, and writer, though he keeps a much lower profile than his other half.

Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso

“You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar… when I met you.” It’s hard not to think of The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me” on learning how Matt Damon and his Argentinian wife Luciana Barroso first bumped into each other. Yes, the pair met while the latter was bartending in Miami and went on to marry at a ceremony in Manhattan in 2005. They now have four daughters together, too – leaving Damon firmly outnumbered.

Meryl Streep and Don Gummer

Meryl Streep has been nominated for a record-breaking 21 Academy Awards during her glittering career. And the Mamma Mia! star has been supported in each victory and defeat by husband Don Gummer. The couple walked down the aisle in 1978 and appear to have been rock solid ever since. You will occasionally see the latter on the red carpet alongside Streep. But the actress rarely discusses her marriage in public.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren

Fantastic Four might not have been a huge critical favorite on its 2005 release. But one of its stars did bag her future husband while shooting the superhero movie. Yes, Jessica Alba met crew member Cash Warren while playing Sue Storm. And within three years the pair had become husband and wife.
