Clooney talks family life at Kennedy Center Honors
George and Amal Clooney joked "one day" their twins would care that their dad is a star.
Love can be found anywhere. For these A-list celebrities, they did not meet their significant others on a red carpet or at a Hollywood event. Instead, these pairs met more traditionally, out and about in everyday life.
Celebrities including Miranda Lambert, George Clooney, Vince Vaughn and Taylor Lautner all met their sweethearts outside the spotlight despite their own celeb status.
Below are celebrities who are married to someone who is not an A-lister themselves.

"They said, ‘Come on,’ and kind of dragged me along," Damon told Ellen DeGeneres in 2011. "I literally saw her across a crowded room, and eight years and four kids later, that’s my life. I don’t know how else our paths would have crossed if that didn’t happen," Damon said.
