Though Meghan Trainor and her husband Daryl Sabara first crossed paths at an L.A. house party in 2014, they were reunited when they went on a double-date with their mutual friend, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Mortez's then-boyfriend, Brooklyn Beckham. As Trainor told People during a January 2019 interview, "I asked her to set me up on a date with the nicest guy ever. And she was like, 'Well, that's my friend Daryl.'"

During Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's first sit-down interview with BBC following their engagement announcement, Harry confirmed he and his now-wife were "introduced actually by a mutual friend" and set up on a blind date in July 2016.

(A spokesperson for the couple previously told Elite Daily, "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to Finding Freedom. This book is based on the authors' own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting.")

Though the co-parents are no longer together, Kourtney Kardashian first met Scott Disick through her ex, Joe Francis, back in 2006 at a house party hosted by Francis.

"Brandon Jennings, who is a basketball player, is a friend of mine and Malika [Haqq], and he was like, 'You're such a good girl, I want to introduce you to someone,'" she said. Jennings then "ambushed" Kardashian by showing up with Thompson while she was out to dinner with friends at the Bel-Air Hotel and the two "just connected."

Tom Brady may have been in a relationship when he was introduced to Gisele Bündchen in 2006, but the two still felt sparks. "We met through a friend," Bündchen told Vanity Fair in March 2009.

During a January 2017 interview with People, Billy Porter and his husband Adam Smith revealed how their romance began at a mutual friend's dinner party in February 2009, which took place soon after Porter moved to Los Angeles from New York City.

As he told People, "I was cruisin' him as he walked up the street, and he stopped, and he was with us! I was like, 'Oh, well, I'll be sittin' next to this handsome specimen tonight!'"

During a January 2016 interview with Cosmopolitan, Julianne Hough explained how her Curve co-star, Teddy Sears, set her up with hockey star Brook Laich, who's a long-time friend of Sears.

"But I have a fair amount of tenacity and if I want something I stick to it. And in the end, she agreed."

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky were introduced by their shared dialect coach in 2010 after the coach decided her two clients might hit it off. "It was like a blind date," Pataky explained during a December 2015 appearance on El Hormiguero. "We had never seen each other before. It was our dialect coach, the person who helped us both with the accent. So, this lady started to talk to each other about each other. Finally, she insisted so much that I thought, 'OK, let's meet.'"

In July 2013, a source for the Daily News reportedly claimed Kerry Washington met her husband Nnamdi Asomugha after he went with a mutual friend to see Washington perform in Race on Broadway in 2010.

Adam Levine and his wife Behati Prinsloo were introduced by a mutual friend when the Maroon 5 frontman was looking for a model who'd be willing to pull off some stunts in a music video. "...our friend was like, 'You should meet Behati because she's a total tomboy and down for anything,' so he emailed me asking if I could do it," Prinsloo explained during a January 2019 interview with Porter. "I ended up not doing it, but we kept emailing each other. It was such a natural correspondence that we kind of fell in love over email."

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka first crossed paths all the way back in 2004 thanks to their mutual friend Kate. "I ran into my friend Kate one day and she was with this brooding, James Dean–type guy in a leather jacket who gave me the head nod and then turned away," Harris explained to Out in January 2012. "I assumed he was Kate's boyfriend and said, 'Nicely done.' And she said, 'David? He's not playing on my team, but he has a boyfriend.'" The two met again at Kate's American Idol viewing party, and once Burtka broke up with his then-boyfriend, he and Harris became an item.

Emily Blunt first met John Krasinski in 2008 while having dinner with a friend in a Los Angeles restaurant, since her friend knew Krasinski and insisted on introducing the two.

And that was it."

Though they initially met on a movie set, Kristen Stewart explained during a November 2019 appearance on The Howard Stern Show how she and girlfriend Dylan Meyer later reconnected at a friend's birthday party. "I met her years ago on a movie and I hadn't seen her in six years and then she, like, rocked up at a friend's birthday party and I was like, 'Where have I been and how have I not known you?'" Stewart said. "She's been, like, living in L.A. alongside my life somehow but not ever converging?"

During a November 2019 interview with Today, Kristen Bell explained how she and Dax Shepard were first introduced at a friend's dinner party in 2007. "The producer of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Shauna Robertson — who's Judd Apatow's previous producing partner — had a birthday dinner, like, 10 people, maybe less, at a sushi restaurant," Bell explained. Apparently, she and Shepard ended up at the same table. "The only thing I remember is that he talked so much," Bell said of her now-husband. "I was like, 'This guy can talk.'"

Here's hoping all these celeb friends got a big thank you from the happy couples.
