Many of these stars have actually met their hall passes … while one married couple revealed they share the same fantasy hookup!
Celebrity hall passes aren’t just reserved for fans who dream of hooking up with their favorite star! In fact, some pretty big celebs admit that they actually have their own celebrity hall pass. These passes are usually agreed upon by a couple and allow a person to step away from their relationship to fulfill a fantasy hookup. While it may be an unlikely situation for those who aren’t rich and famous, turning in a hall pass seems very possible when you’re a star!
Read on to find out who these stars picked for their hall pass…
Chrissy Teigen and her husband John Legend have been married for almost a decade and through the years, they’ve discussed who would be their celebrity hall pass. Back in 2017, Chrissy admitted that John thought her hall pass should be Zac Efron, considering how much she liked his movies.
“John thinks I really like Zac Efron because I can never stop watching his movies,” Chrissy said during a Sports Illustrated interview.
Jessie James Decker and her husband Eric Decker both have celebrity hall passes — although Jessie admits she’d rather just hang out than hook up. When she was asked about her pass, Jessie said it would have to be Post Malone. Meanwhile, she says it would probably be Jessica Alba for Eric.
“He knows I really like Post Malone, but not to do anything, just like hangout because I think he’s really cool. Posty would be mine…[We’d] have a good little dinner and then we’d go to the studio and listen to him create,” she said on Us Weekly’s Candlelight Confessions.

8. Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood
Garth Brooks has often suggested that Dolly Parton is his hall pass and at the 2023 ACM Awards, it came close to happening! While the pair were co-hosting the show, Garth called Dolly the G.O.A.T. — the greatest of all time — but Dolly suggested it stood for something different when she learned she was a hall pass for both Garth and his wife Trisha Yearwood.
“I know why you’re doing that G.O.A.T. thing. I think it stands for ‘Garth Organized A Threesome!'” Dolly joked on stage.
When Trisha was later asked to weigh in, she confirmed that Dolly was the couple’s hall pass, adding, “Everybody loves Dolly. We love Dolly so much.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp revealed to actor Oliver Hudson that he was once her hall pass.
The reality star — who has been married to Edwin Arroyave since 2011 — admitted it to Oliver himself on a May 2024 episode of his Sibling Revelry podcast.
“So, is now a good time or is it going to make it awkward to tell you that back in the day –not anymore, sorry, no offense, — that you were my hall pass,” Teddi, 42, told Oliver, who asked why he’s no longer her hall pass.
“But why did this have to change? What happened? I mean, did I get older?” Oliver, 47, asked. “I mean, I’ve done a little botox and filler to try to keep up.”
“Facial hair was a problem for me,” Teddi admitted, jokingly adding that she asks her husband to “reel it in” when he “gets all Wooly Mammoth.”
