Thank the heavens for George Walton Lucas because, without him, the “Star Wars” movie franchise wouldn’t exist! This genius director married the businesswoman, Mellody Hobson. She was one of the first African-American women to spearhead the Economic Club of Chicago. Both of them were creating waves in the world of business and film, and they both have an inner drive for what they love doing.
They both met at a business conference back in 2006, and George popped the big question later on after seven years together. This isn’t George’s first marriage since he was previously married with three adopted kids.
Piers Williams and America Ferrera
You might remember America Ferrera from her cute and geeky role in "Ugly Betty." In real life, America met her partner Ryan when he invited her for a casting for a film he was in - but this was back in the days of college when they were both students. They instantly clicked and became good friends before they eloped.
They both share a love for storytelling, movies, and writing which makes for a perfect match! In the beginning, America admitted to having doubts about the relationship because it was moving too fast, but now they're happily married with a growing family.
Maya Rudolph and Paul Thomas Anderson
While Maya Rudolph and Paul Thomas have been together for ages, they actually are not married, even though they've been dating since 2001. Four kids on, there is no stopping these two, and they don't need a document telling them anything. Their love for and commitment to one another is enough for them.
The two met on the set of the movie "Punch Drunk Love" and have been together for many happy years. The couple is notoriously private, and hardly ever talk publically about each other or their relationship - and good luck hearing anything about their kids. Whatever setup they may have in their relationship, it seems to be working!
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have both lived paparazzi-centered lives. The two met in the filming of "Fantastic Four," where Jessica was smack in the center of filming while Cash was in the backend area working as a prod assistant. In 2008, they tied the knot and told the press how the relationship was very serious.
The two aren't shy about being themselves, and they love public displays of affection. Jessica mentioned that it helps show how healthy their intimate moments are. They live a give-and-take kind of relationship, which makes for a successful marriage. We can't fault you there, Mrs Warren.
Wanda Sykes and Alex Sykes
Wanda Sykes is famous for her many comedic roles in shows, and she even wrote for "The Chris Rock Show" back in the 90s. She met her partner in New York on a ferry trip to a resort called Fire Island. It's a strange encounter, but Wanda met Alex when she was talking to a kid, and she immediately felt an attraction to her.
Wanda wasn't always open with her sexuality and only came out of the closet after her marriage to her French lover. Being in such a stable and committed relationship that Wanda knew would go the distance finally gave her the courage to tell the world exactly who she was.
