5 adorable celebrity first dates for Valentine’s Day, from Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and Amal and George Clooney – so who got together after a double date?
- Transformers’ Megan Fox and rapper Machine Gun Kelly made headlines for their wild couple activities, including drinking each other’s blood and swimming with sharks in Bora Bora
- Meanwhile, George Clooney invited his then future wife Amal to London’s Abbey Road Studios for his film The Monuments Men – and the pair was swarmed by paparazzi
This Valentine’s Day, we have a little treat for all Style readers who are hopeless romantics and believers of love at first sight. Here are five adorable, occasionally awkward first dates featuring our favourite couples that could appear straight out of a romcom.
1. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Gossip Girl star Lively and Deadpool’s Reynolds first met in 2010 on the set of Green Lantern, but they were both seeing other people at the time. It wasn’t until a year later, when the newly single co-stars decided to go on a double date, that sparks really flew – although they had been on the date with other people, not each other, awkwardly enough!
“She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl. That was the most awkward date, probably, because we were just like fireworks coming across,” recalled Reynolds in a 2016 interview with Entertainment Weekly.
2. Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox
American rapper MGK and actress Megan Fox began dating in 2020 and have been engaged since 2022. The pair are known for flaunting their intense bond on social media and giving the public glimpses into their relationship (like how they occasionally drink each other’s blood).
