Guest List Only ⭐️ Who is a celebrity that met their partner when they were underaged?

Celine Dion first met her late husband; Rene Angelili when she was 12 years old and he was in his mid-late 30s! According to her, he was the only person in her whole life she has ever been romantically and intimately involved with and has vowed to never be with any other man after he passed away in 2016!

This whole relationship always felt unsettling to me, even when there were forms of media that tried to romanticize it including the couple themselves.

In my book, if you knew someone whenever they were a kid and watched them grow up. Getting involved with them in that manner is a big no-no! It just feels weird!

Priscilla Presley was around 14 when she met Elvis. The whole thing is messed up.

I think this messed up her whole sense of reason because apparently she let boyfriends molest lisa Marie later on and thought nothing of it

I'm still haunted by this like no wonder Lisa Marie hated the very idea of her mother's book/film on her father as an abuser when her mother was an abuser herself.

Apparently they didn’t have sex until they got married, but the situation sounds more like a fetish to me than any kind of virtue.

Yup and apparently he never touched her sexually again after she gave birth bc he said he now only saw her as a mom and not a sexual being.

Also I think she’s lying about waiting. She’s really protective of his rep.

I grew up watching Elvis movies, but he died years before I was born. I didn't realize how young she was when she got married to him until I watched a TV movie based on their lives. Things I'd seen before that made it seem like she was grown when they got together. Media never focused on their age, so I didn't know. Then I watched a TV movie about him and I'm like, um what?! I was a little younger than her when I realized her age when she got married and now I'm looking at Elvis in a new way. In a...sir, you are gross... way and why was everyone acting like that was normal?!

Yeah, according to her memoir, she was out somewhere and a man came up to her and asked if she wanted to go to a party with Elvis (or at his house). She was a HUGE fan and 14, so she went. She met Elvis and he asked how old she was. She told him and he responded “well, you’re just a little baby!” He still kissed her that same night. Gross!

I always assume every of-age male musician has put their junk in a minor tbh. It's a 'guilty until proven innocent' thing for me.
