Ariana Grande is engaged to her boyfriend of nine months, Dalton Gomez.

The singer was previously engaged to comedian Pete Davidson in 2018, however they called off their engagement after five months.

While Grande's relationship with Davidson was highly publicised, the 27-year-old singer has kept her new relationship with Gomez relatively quiet.

Unlike comedian Davidson, who is best known for his role on Saturday Night Live, Gomez works as a luxury real estate agent. 

According to Page Six, the 25-year-old has "previously represented mansions and estates that have sold in a range from $US5 million to $US12 million".

In 2003, while filming the movie Stuck on You, Matt Damon walked into a bar. He spotted his soon-to-be wife, Luciana Barroso, across the room.

"I was working as a bartender in South Beach (Miami) and he was shooting a movie there and the crew ended up in the bar one Saturday night… Matt’s story is that he saw me across the room and there was a light on me. And I’m like: 'Yeah it was a nightclub - there were lights everywhere!'" Luciana told Vogue in 2018.

"But he had started getting recognised and asked for pictures and autographs, and then it got kind of aggressive because people are drinking and stuff, and so he came and hid behind my bar… [wanting to] just hang out back there and have a drink.

"So I put him to work with me! He had trained as a bartender for a film years before, so he started making drinks. And he made me a ton of money in tips that night, because of course everyone wanted to go and see him. So it turned into a really fun night and then 15 years later here we are!"

Damon and Barroso married in 2005 and have four children.

Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe.

Eddie Redmayne met Hannah Bagshawe when he attended Eton College. 

"Hannah was at a girls' school near Eton, and they invited some of our guys over to do a fashion show for charity," Redmayne told the Daily Mail UK. 

"I saw Hannah across the room at a party afterwards and she was very beautiful and very funny, and she loves the arts and theatre just as I do, so we became friends."

In 2012, Redmayne invited Bagshawe to Florence while he was filming Les Misérables. And two years later, they married.

These days, Bagshawe works as a PR executive. They have two children together.

In June, Zac Efron met Vanessa Valladares, who worked as a waitress at one of Byron Bay's most iconic cafes, The Byron Bay General Store.

Besides her waitressing gig, which Valladares has reportedly since quit, the 25-year-old is also a model.

Her Instagram shows a number of professional photos and modelling shoots, including campaigns for brands including RVCA and Spell.

It's rumoured that Efron is currently on the lookout for a property to purchase in Byron Bay.

A 'source' told the Daily Mail, Efron had originally booked a plane ticket to leave last month, but after this three months visa was extended to 12 months, he decided to stay.

Vince Vaughn and Kyla Weber.

In 2008, Vince Vaughn was introduced to small-town real estate agent Kyla Weber at a friend's wedding.

"Because she lived far away, at first I was nervous to date her because it’s one of my best friends' wife’s best friend from childhood… If it goes wrong, you’re talking about awkward," Vaughn shared during an interview on Live! with Regis and Kelly.

But the pair quickly realised that they had a good thing going.

"It's the first time that I really want to have kids. She is not an actress. She's a civilian, which is good," he added.

On January 2, 2010, Vaughn and Weber got married in an intimate ceremony. They have two children.

Ansel Elgort met Violette Komyshan when they both attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art. The actor and professional ballerina have been together ever since (well, despite a five-month split in 2014).

"I was with my friend, and he was walking down the block," Violetta shared with Cosmopolitan in 2017. 

"I didn't even know he went to my school—I just thought he was really attractive. I looked at him and told my friend, 'Oh my God, that guy's so hot,' and she's like, 'Oh, that's Ansel, he goes to LaGuardia.'"

Elgort told Women's Health, "I've never been with somebody from Hollywood, so I don't know what it's like, but I like having my love be away from my work. 

"It's nice that she knows me as me before I was influenced by success or the stress and responsibility of being an adult. I feel like everyone's at their purest when they're just a kid."

Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman.

"I knew from the second I met him that he was the love of my life," she said.

Reese Witherspoon's husband Jim Toth is a talent agent. They've been married for nine years.

The couple met through mutual friends at a friend's house.

"It happened out of the blue. This really drunk guy was hitting on me, making such an idiot of himself, yelling at me. He was like, [slurring, scowling, pointing finger in her face] 'You don't know me.' And I was like, 'Yeah, I know. I don't know you!' she told Elle in 2012.

"Jim came over and said, 'Please excuse my friend. He's just broken up with someone.' Jim was a really good friend, pulling him out of that situation. That's just kind of who he is, a really good person."

"The first time we met, we shook hands," the now princess told Jens Andersen, the author of Prince Frederik's authorised autobiography, Under The Bar. "I didn’t know he was the Prince of Denmark. Half an hour later, someone came up to me and said, 'Do you know who these people are?'"

The couple married in 2004 and Mary Donaldson was pronounced her Royal Highness The Crown Princess of Denmark. And when Frederik eventually becomes King, she'll become the Queen Consort of Denmark.

They have now been married 20 years and have four children.
