These Fans Landed A Relationship With Their Celebrity Crush

Most people have experienced numerous crushes throughout their life, but there's something unique about a celebrity crush. Living the life of fame and fortune, celebrities can seem above average and, therefore, unattainable. But big stars need love too, and sometimes they end up with one of their lucky fans.

Sometimes these fans are your everyday people, such as Patrick Dempsey's hairstylist wife, who managed to steal his attention at the salon. Then there are people like Katie Holmes and Jason Momoa, both of whom ended up with celebrity crushes they had long before their fame. Read on for more celebrity crushes that resulted in relationships.

Hairstylist Jillian Fink was at work when none other than the famous Patrick Dempsey walked in for a hair appointment. Something sparked between the two and they agreed to go on a date. They were married in 1999 and now have three children together.
