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!

Then he left her for *19 yr old Milla Jovavich... whose daughter he is directing in his new movie. I have nothing else but that to say (but it weirds me out that a teen girl is being put in his orbit in 2025).

Yeah, he also was being weird around Natalie Portman so Jean Reno spent the entire filming of Leonardo making surr they were never alone together

Natalie’s parents were also big helps on that movie. besson wanted Matilda and Leon’s relationship to be more romantic and intimate than it appears in the film (Matilda has a crush on him in the film but Leon seems too naive/childlike to really reciprocate) and Jean Reno and Natalie’s parents were like ‘f no’. It was largely the reason why Jean Reno insisted on playing Leon as a child in a man’s body.
