Actors often have to play love, and sometimes they continue it in real life. Often, this is how star families are born.
Let us show you 12 times when the relationship between actors and actresses started on set. The list includes both active couples and those who have already separated.
For the selection, there are two important points: the actors started an affair during/after the filming (those who have already acted as a couple in the same film do not count), and their characters did not just have to cross over in the frame, but were in love (however, their relationship does not necessarily end in a happy ending).
