A rumored celeb couple, somehow, is an opportunity to promote their television show or film. It works because both parties know exactly what to expect regarding paparazzi photos and tabloid rumors. But celebs dating regular people provides the type of romance novel fodder that people can't find when two stars unsurprisingly link up.
Just imagine: one day you, an ordinary person, do your normal personal thing, and the next you're happily wedded to a member of the Hollywood elite! We all know it's every young girl and boy's dream (and it's also one of the most common subjects of many fanfics). Interestingly, it's the thing that happened to the folks on this list—many of whom you can't search on the Internet! Although many of these
celebrity partners are successful in their fields, they are just non-famous people who are out of the limelight.
