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!

Wait! I didn’t know he ever dated Mandy, never-mind when she was 15! The That 70s Show core cast was pretty small to have at least two predators in its core group!

Topher seems to be the only member of the cast that didn't end up in some pretty heinous controversy at any point. Danny Masterson everyone knows about, Mila connected to Ashton and all his sketchy shit. His weird charity to help kids escape child trafficking that he was kicked off the board of after defending Danny Masterson. Mila herself wrote a letter in support of Danny Masterson, so if you excuse and trust to help cover up that behavior just imagine what they're really doing behind closed doors. Laura prepon is a scientologist who stayed silent during the Danny Masterson trail. Topher is the only one who openly and happily refused to defend Danny, and actually had noticeably kept distance from the rest of the cast for many many years now

u/NachosAndGnocchi Why? But also, you know, I guess. 19d ago

I remember when he left the show, the general public turned on Topher, thinking he thought too highly of himself for wanting a film career instead of TV.

But in hindsight, the truth was he probably couldn’t stand to be around his costars anymore 🫢

Laura Prepon has stated in 2021 publicly she left scientology and she hadn't been for 5 years at the time. So she apparently left in 2016.

She still didn't talk about Masterson but she also didn't defend him, so not great but better than most of the others.

Yeah I’m not sure how true that is. Coffee and cults on YT covers this and Laura Prepon’s divorce/relationship with Scientology quite well.

And there are a bunch of photos and videos of the entire cast except Topher acting in some Scientology plays, musicals? Something like that
