Celebrity Engagements: Which Stars Are Engaged To Regular People?

Posted: 05/09/2012 9:04 pm Updated: 05/09/2012 9:07 pm

It's no secret that Hollywood stars are often attracted to their "own kind" -- that is, other actors, singers and celebrities who are also in the spotlight.

But even though there may be a long-running trend of the famous marrying the famous, sometimes celebs fall for average folks who don't have a claim to stardom.

Click through the slides below to challenge your knowledge of stars' significant others, and see which celebs are engaged to "regular" people.

I forgot that "stars" are not regular people....that they come from Unicorn farts and their poo smells like roses, among many other differences. Thanks for reminding me, Huff Post.

LeBron and his lady have been an item for over 10 years and I believe they have 2 kids. The real question should be : What took him so long?

Rosie, now that's a different story. Her mate looks older but is very attractive. Regardless, I sure in the hell would hate to roll over and see Rosie the first thing every day! She's a hog when she's all fixed up. Can you imagine haviing to look at that thing without make-up? Take me to the bridge and weight me down with concrete and let me jump!

And I am sure you are the epitome of class and beauty. You are the poster person for the adult bully. FYI, it's "weigh me down" genius.

l really dont care which 50 yr old actor or wanna be celeb marries a 20 or 30 yrs old woman. ln the end it seldomly works out and the "normal" partner takes half of the famous ones income for really doing nothing but spending nights and travel and hang on the others arms till something better comes around.

Looked at slide 13 and I am wondering, what makes snooki an "actress"?
08:02 PM on 05/11/2012
Because she "acts" like a fool and, because she gets paid to do so, she gets the label "actress."
