COURTNEY FORD & BRANDON ROUTH

Despite the glitz and glamour associated with fame, these Hollywood celebrities have managed to have an impressive love life, free of controversies and away from the prying eyes of the media.

During an interview with KTLA5, Routh talked about meeting his wife. He told the interviewers that they met at a bar and connected instantaneously. In his words:

"I was bartending in 2003. She was there for her brother's wedding rehearsal dinner after-party. I was a private bartender for the party..."

Later that same day, the actor asked her out, and their first date was a dinner at a venue where his sister was performing onstage, and the rest was history! They dated for a while and later got engaged. Routh was 28, and his lover was 29 when he proposed.
