Cameron, 51, and Benji, 45, who is a singer and guitarist for rock band Good Charlotte, met in May 2014 at an event attended by his twin brother, Joel, and his wife, Nicole Richie.

Their engagement was confirmed in December of that year.
The couple didn’t wait long and got married in January 2015 in Beverly Hills, California.
In December 2019, Cameron and Benji surprised fans when they announced they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Raddix Madden.
Throughout their marriage, Cameron and Benji have made lovey-dovey posts about each other on social media, from birthday wishes to anniversaries.
However, the couple tends to stay out of the spotlight, especially since Cameron quit acting.
In 2023, Cameron made an appearance on a podcast called Lipstick on the Rim.
She talked about how she loves the concept of separate beds and bedrooms for couples.
“To me, I would literally, I have my house, you have yours,” Cameron said.
“We have the family house in the middle. I will go and sleep in my room. You go sleep in your room. I’m fine.”
“And we have the bedroom in the middle that we can convene in for our relations,” the actress ended.

Bill Hader and Ali Wong are a fairly new couple, but the internet exploded when they appeared together at numerous award shows earlier this year.
The couple briefly dated in 2022 before breaking up.
However, they rekindled their relationship in April 2023 and have been going strong ever since.
Bill, 45, and Ali, 41, first met in 2016 when they voiced characters for the Angry Birds movie.
Ali divorced her husband, entrepreneur Justin Hakuta, in 2022, around the same time Bill split from actress Anna Kendrick.
Bill and Ali then dated in December of that year.

In January 2024, they attended the Golden Globe Awards together and snuck in a kiss when Ali won for her role in her TV show, Beef.
They also attended the Critic’s Choice Awards and the Emmy’s Afterparty together.
Bill and Ali both have children from previous relationships.
NICK OFFERMAN AND MEGAN MULLALLY
15
Actors Nick Offerman and Megan Mullaly may be one of those couples where people are scratching their heads and asking, “They’re married?”
Yes, in fact, the couple has been married for two decades now.
They met in 2000 while acting in a play called The Berlin Circle.
Then, Nick, 53, made an appearance on Megan’s show, Will and Grace, where he played a plumber.
He even got to kiss Megan on screen.
Nick and Megan, 65, got engaged in London, England, in 2002.
On September 20, 2003, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in their Hollywood home.
In 2009, the couple co-starred together on Parks and Recreation, where she appeared as Ron Swanson’s (played by Nick), ex-wife, Tammy.
They’ve starred in many projects together including plays, movies, and TV shows.
Nick and Megan even went on a comedy tour together in 2015.
In 2017, the couple opened up about their decision to not have children.
“I never had a burning desire to have children,” Megan told GQ.
“But then I met Nick, and I thought, ‘This is the only person I’d do this with.’ So we tried, but I was a little long in the tooth for that sort of thing.”
“But we didn’t turn it into a soap opera. We tried for about a year or so, and it didn’t happen, and took that to mean it wasn’t meant to be,” she ended.
Nick and Megan tend to stay out of the spotlight and currently host a podcast together.
MEGHAN TRAINOR AND DARYL SABARA
15
When singer Meghan Trainor wrote the song Dear Future Husband did she know that it was going to be actor Daryl Sabara?
Maybe not, but they have certainly taken TikTok by storm.
Most Gen-Zers probably know that they are a couple, but how they ever started dating was a shock to most.
While Meghan, 30, has toured around the world and broke the internet with her song, All About That Bass, Daryl, 31, is known more for his acting during childhood.
He is best known for his role as Junie Cortez in the early 2000s Spy Kids franchise.
Daryl tends to keep out of the spotlight.
The couple first met at a house party in 2014.
However, they didn’t start dating until they were set up on a double date by Meghan’s friend, actress Chloe Grace Moretz.
They confirmed their relationship in October 2016 when Meghan posted a selfie of them together while on a trip to Madrid, Spain.
After a year-and-a-half of dating, Daryl proposed to Meghan the night before her 24th birthday.
One year later, Meghan and Daryl got married on December 22, 2018.
In February 2021, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Riley.
In July 2023, Meghan gave birth to their second son Barry.
The singer and actor share their family life on TikTok, with fans swooning over their adorable sons.
Besides social media, they tend to stay out of the spotlight and aren’t seen out together often.
MACAULAY CULKIN AND BRENDA SONG
15
Talk about private.
Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song are probably the Hollywood couple that most people forget are together.
Although the couple both grew up in the spotlight individually, they are keeping their romantic life private.
Macaulay, 43, and Brenda, 35, met in Thailand in 2017 on the set of the movie Changeland.
They started dating and welcomed a son, Dakota, together in 2021.
Shortly after, they got engaged.
In an interview with Access Hollywood in March 2023, Macaulay’s brother Kieran Culkin let it slip that his brother and sister-in-law had quietly welcomed their second child.
The couple keeps their children out of the spotlight and kept both pregnancies a secret.
Brenda was seen in a rare outing with her fiance when she publicly supported him in December 2023 when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
If the couple has tied the knot, it is not known to the public.
SHAUN WHITE AND NINA DOBREV
15
Shaun White may have retired from snowboarding and didn’t get the gold in his last Olympics, but he struck gold with actress Nina Dobrev.
The couple first met during a brief encounter at an awards show in 2012.
However, it wasn’t until 2019 that they were properly introduced at a Florida workshop organized by motivational speaker Tony Robbins in late 2019.
They then decided to have dinner together afterward and began dating.
The pair became Instagram official in 2020 with a slew of photos together.
Nina, 35, and Shaun, 37, grew close while spending quarantine together.
She was very supportive of his 2022 Olympic run and he in turn is supportive of her acting projects.
The couple is not yet engaged, but seem to still be going strong.
COLIN JOST AND SCARLETT JOHANNSON
15
A relationship that no one saw coming was comedian Colin Jost and actress Scarlett Johannson.
Scarlett, 39, and Colin, 41, actually met in 2006 when the actress hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live.
But they didn’t start dating until over a decade later in 2017.
The couple then got engaged in May 2019.
Finally, in 2020, Colin and Scarlett got married after three years of dating.
Scarlett kept the news a secret that they were expecting their first child in 2021.
“Ok we had a baby… his name is Cosmo,” Colin wrote on Instagram.
Colin is also the stepfather to Scarlett’s daughter, Rose, whom she shares with her ex-husband, French journalist Romain Dauriac.
The SNL writer and the actress stay out of the spotlight and keep their children out of it too.
DAX SHEPARD AND KRISTEN BELL
15
Actor and comedian Dax Shepard, 49, and actress Kristen Bell, 43, have been in a good place since 2007 when they met at a mutual friends’ dinner party.
Two weeks later they went to a Detroit Red Wings hockey game where they hit it off.
Three weeks into their new relationship, Dax called it quits, telling Kristen they weren’t in the same place, and he was dating other people.
The Veronica Mars star told PopSugar in 2017, “He sat me down and said, ‘I can’t have this right now. I think you’re wonderful, but I am still dating other people.’ And then I, like, liquefied and fell to the ground, but I felt incredibly respected that he had the balls to tell me we weren’t in the same place.”
Their breakup was short-lived, only lasting a few days before they reconciled, and in 2009, Shepard proposed.
The couple are the parents of two young daughters.
The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Lincoln Bell Shepard, in 2013, and welcomed their second daughter, Delta Bell Shepard, in December 2014.
TARAN KILLAM AND COBIE SMULDERS
15
A couple that fans don’t hear about often is actors Taran Killam and Cobie Smulders.
Cobie, 41, is best known for her roles in How I Met Your Mother as well as various Marvel movies.
Taran, 41, was a sketch writer for SNL and has acted in movies such as Big Fat Liar, The Heat, Ted 2, and more.
After dating for several years, the couple got engaged in 2009.
They got married in September 2012.
Cobie and Taran have two daughters together, born in 2009 and 2015.
RYAN GOSLING AND EVA MENDES
15
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes live a very private romantic life.
The couple rarely walks red carpets together or are seen out in public together.
Eva even mentioned in 2020 that she likes to stay home.
They first met in 2012 on the set of the movie The Place Beyond the Pines.
Ryan, 43, and Eva, 50, were friends for many years before they started dating.
But in 2012 they officially started their romantic relationship.
In 2014, Eva gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Esmeralda.
And two years later, they welcomed their second daughter, Amada.
Fans tried to accuse Ryan of not being an active father because he isn’t seen on Eva’s Instagram feed.
Ryan doesn’t have social media of his own.
However, Eva disputed that in October 2021, writing, “I don’t talk about Ryan and all the wonderful things he does as a father because I keep that part private.”
“I feel it’s best that I continue to disclose what I’m comfortable with but not involve him or my kids too much. It’s not about being cagey or weird, it’s just about staying private in a public space. Does that make sense? Hope so. Because this is my honest answer.”
In November 2022, Eva rocked a tattoo on her wrist that read “de Gosling,” sparking marriage rumors.
Eva made an appearance on Australia’s Kyle and Jackie O Show shortly after posting the photo.
Co-host Brittany Hockley asked about the tattoo directly, saying, “There’s a rumor that you guys might have secretly tied the knot. Is that true?”
“But who says we weren’t already? I like to keep it all mysterious. I’m a very mysterious woman,” Eva replied.
“I do have a tattoo. It’s just a press-on…no, it’s not a press-on. But I got it years ago. I posted a picture and I’ve gotten a lot of funny questions.”
