Although she&#39;s always lived a life in the limelight thanks to her uber-famous family members (Stephen Baldwin, Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger, etc.),&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/hailey-bieber-skincare-beauty-line-rhode" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hailey Bieber</a><a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/happy-birthday-hailey-bieber-her-best-look-ever-steal-her-style">&nbsp;</a>was once a belieber just like the rest of us. The pair were briefly introduced by Baldwin&#39;s father in 2009, and photos of Hailey waiting in line as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/justin-bieber-style-evolution-songs-baby" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Justin</a><a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/justin-bieber-paris-bottega-veneta-style-hailey-baldwin">&nbsp;</a>took photos with fans outside of an NYC hotel in 2012 surfaced shortly before the couple tied the knot in 2018.&nbsp;

A die-hard Jake T. Austin fan, Caesar met Austin at a meet-and-greet in New York City in 2011 and proceeded to tweet admiringly at him for years. Apparently having grabbed his attention, the couple went public with their relationship in 2016, making Caesar the envy of fangirls everywhere.&nbsp;

Although he was swiftly friendzoned (the reality star was entertaining other romantic prospects at the time), West remained undeterred and even referenced Kim in his music prior to their relationship, including in his verse on Keri Hilson&#39;s 2009 track, &quot;Knock You Down.&quot; The two finally became an item in 2012, married in 2014, and had four children together before filling for divorce earlier this year.&nbsp;

Prior to their meeting, Duhamel had long been vocal about his crush on Fergie on social media platforms and even in interviews with various media outlets.

Marjorie and Steve Harvey met in 1990 when Marjorie walked in late to a stand-up comedy set Harvey was performing. In 2018, Marjorie recounted on Steve&#39;s now-cancelled talk show that he abruptly went quiet upon laying eyes on her and then said, &quot;I don&rsquo;t know who this is, but I&rsquo;m gonna marry her.&quot;
