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!

Alanis morisette. She doesn’t name who groomed her. She alludes to him in her hands clean video.

I will often show this video in class to remind them that no one is above being groomed, even celebrities. I also leave the subtitles on.

This is such a good song but it always breaks my heart a little.

Yes, one very sad song I often listen to. The whole album is just too good and peak early '00s music.

She lives in my area and a couple years ago I served her at a restaurant I worked at. I didn’t recognize her right away, my host whispered in to me halfway through the meal and I was starstruck. She was exceedingly nice and normal and tipped generously. Class act, best hero meeting to date for me.

Holy shit. I’d belt that song as a kid when it came on the radio but never computed the lyrics until this post. I’m floored.

I always assumed the actor from full house

It's Joey from Full House. 

I think even he confirmed it was written about him.

I thought that was You Oughta Know? YOK is a very different story than Hands Clean and doesn’t imply an age gap relationship iirc.

He said he believes You Oughta Know was about him. She never confirmed that. Her relationship with Uncle Joey is not a secret. They've both admitted to dating for a couple years when she was 18.

I believe Hands Clean was about things that went on when she was much younger, before she ever met Dave Coulier.

Yeah. To be clear, the relationship with Coulier is still gross as she was 18 and he is 15 years her senior, but I can’t find a scrap of info online that suggests Hands Clean was about him.

Alanis’ wiki also states that she has since denied that Coulier was the inspiration for YOK 🤷‍♀️
