In today’s article, we’re taking a look at ten actresses who have married lesser-known men and their marriages that have managed to unfold like your favorite fairy tale – and thankfully, have always done so.

• Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman is one of those Hollywood actresses who have achieved equal commercial success and critical acclaim. In addition to her role as one of Hollywood’s most financially strongest actresses, she has won an Academy Award for Best Actress , her second Golden Globe Award, the SAG Award, the BAFTA Award and the BFCA Award for her cinematic achievements. She is also the youngest member of the annual Cannes Film Festival jury. Her husband, Benjamin Millepied, while a respected professional in his field, is not as well known outside of ballet.

Natalie met the French dancer Benjamin andchoreographer, in 2009 on the set of the film “Black Swan”. Benjamin choreographed dance sequences for the film while Natalie was the lead actress. They had a son in 2011 and married in 2012. After Benjamin’s appointment as director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet , Natalie moved to Paris to spend more time together.

• Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale was in an eight-year relationship with British actor Michael Sheen when she met American director Len Wiseman in 2002. The American was gearing up for his directorial debut, Underworld, in which, at Kate’s urging, he also cast then-boyfriend Michael. Sparks flew during the shooting and Kate fell in love with Len. Michael, as we know, is a good man, he accepted with a mercy that his relationship with Kate had reached an impasse and remains on good terms with his ex and her husband to this day. However, it was different with Lens’ wife Dana, who accused him of infidelity. As always, he was divorced and married Kate on May 9, 2004 in Bel-Air, California. Incidentally, Len is stepdad to Beckinsale’s daughter, Lily Mo Sheen.

• Keira Knightley

Last year, for her role in the thriller story The Imitation Game, Keira Knightley was nominated for a Golden Globe, SAG, BAFTA Award and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Although she didn’t receive any awards for these nominations, the plus side of these nominations was that we got to see her handsome husband James Righton accompanying her to the awards events. Righton, the keyboardist for the popular British electro-pop group, Klaxons is sharp in his well-tailored suits with his piercing blue eyes and handsome face. They began dating in late February 2011 and married on May 4, 2013 in Mazan, southern France. Keira is due to give birth to her first child and lives in London with her husband.

• Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is one of Hollywood’s modern gender symbols. Her hot figure, which recently caused temperatures to skyrocket while being squeezed tight in a leather body suit in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’, and her charming and luscious eyes have made her a veteran of several sexiest lists including their number one position in the 2006 and 2013 list published by Esquire magazine. She raised eyebrows in September 2013 when she publicly announced that she was engaged to Frenchman Romain Dauriac, the owner of an independent advertising agency.

They met through tattoo artist Fuzi Uvtpk, a mutual friend and bonded over a shared love of art. The birth of their daughter Rose Dorothy was announced on September 4, 2014. They married on October 1, 2014 in Philipsburg, Montana.

• Julianne Moore

Julianne Moore is one of the most renowned and celebrated actresses in Hollywood. Recognition for her precocious acting skills includes winning several prestigious awards such as an Academy Award, two Golden Globes, a BAFTA award and the honor of being named Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival. and the Venice Film Festival. And she often credits her success to her director husband, Bart Freundlich, whom she met on the set of the 1997 film The Myth of Fingerprints. The couple welcomed a son Caleb in December 1997 and a daughter Liv in April 2002. And for Moore, her solid and happy family life is the most satisfying thing she’s ever done in her life.

• Reese Witherspoon

The 39-year-old actress is one of the most popularactresses. Due to her down-to-earth and goofy nature, she has carved a unique niche for herself in the film industry. And the fact that even though she’s 39 years old, she still looks like a fresh-faced beauty who’s become everyone’s favorite with her role in the romantic comedy Sweet Home Alabama adds to her likeability even more. Like her character in the film, she is married to a successful but simple and homely man. Her husband Jim Toth, whom she married at their country estate on March 26, 2011 in Ojai, California, is a talent agent and co-head of film talent at Creative Artists Agency, where Witherspoon is a customer. Not only is Jim handsome and has won multiple awards alongside Reese, he’s also a great dad who knows how to change his son Tennessee James Toth’s diapers. Didn’t I say comfortable?

• Julie Bowen

The beautiful and comical Julie Bowen is an anomaly in the industry. She’s grounded, goofy, has a great sense of humor and is married to a handsome man with no connection to the film industry. She met her husband Scott Phillips, a real estate investor and software developer, after being founded by one of her cousins. Although their first date was during a snowstorm, their married life was a relaxing day under the bright sunshine. They have been married for more than ten years and have three children, including twins John and Gustav, with whom she was visibly pregnant while filming Modern Family and appear to be on their honeymoon.

• Drew Barrymore

After her whirlwind affairs and short-lived marriages, Drew seems to have finally found peace in marriage. Her husband Will Kopelman, with whom she has worked since early 2011, is a respected art consultant and son of former Chanel CEO Arie Kopelman . Almost a year later in January 2012, the couple became engaged and married on June 2, 2012 in an intimate wedding in Montecito, California. Their wedding photo was the subject of the cover of People magazine on June 6, 2012. Their sweet family also includes two beautiful daughters: Olive Barrymore Kopelman and Frankie Barrymore Kopelman.

• Julia Roberts

Before marrying her cameraman Danny Moder, Julia had dated many popular and handsome men like Liam Neeson, Kiefer Sutherland, Dylan McDermott and Matthew Perry. So it came as a surprise when she started dating Moder, whom she met on the sets of her 2000 film ‘The Mexican’. At the time Julia was still in a relationship with Benjamin Bratt and Moder was married to Vera Steimberg. A year later, he filed for divorce and on July 4, 2002, married Julia at their ranch in Taos, New Mexico. They have three children, including twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus “Finn” Walter Moder (born November 28, 2004) and Henry Daniel Moder (born June 18, 2007).

• Julianna Margulies

Julianna Margulies has won a Golden Globe , a television critics award , and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as a lawyer on the American legal drama The Good Wife. In reality she is married to one. Her handsome husband Keith Lieberthal, who can pose as a model or actor, is a Harvard-educated lawyer. Julianna met him at a dinner party and like most of us he was probably an actor or a model. The beautiful couple gave birth to a son named Kieran on November 10, 2007 in Lenox, Massachusetts.
