Sometimes dreams really do come true, at least they did for this list of celebrities. We may think that it’s impossible to end up marrying our celeb crush, but for these people, they did exactly that.

Some of these people are just regular folk who happened to be at the right place at the right time and walked away with someone they could spend the rest of their lives with. We have stars like Matt Damon and Patrick Dempsey who married regular girls they met randomly. Katie Holmes dreamed of marrying Tom Cruise since she was a young girl and she literally manifested that dream and married him. Crazy things like this really happen for some people.

It’s fun to hear the stories about how two people met, fell in love, and eventually got married, and some of these stories sound like they really are from the movies. But they’re not — it’s real life. Some of these stories can really give others hope that there really is true love out there. We have some fun stories to share that will have readers shaking their heads in wonder. Check out these 20 people who married their celeb crush (and who also have kids with them now).

20 Katie Holmes Loved 'Top Gun'

When word broke out that Katie Holmes was dating Tom Cruise, we almost could not believe it. It turns out that Katie Holmes had always had a crush on Cruise growing up. We all have our celebrity crushes growing up and for Katie—who lived in Ohio at the time—it was Tom.

Mary Beth Peil, who played Grams on Dawson’s Creek stated that Holmes was ready for Tom Cruise. “She said, ‘I have had a crush on him since I was 15, and his posters were on the walls of my bedroom.’ She could not stop talking about Tom Cruise. This was way before they got together, but she was certainly ready for him.”

19 Jason Momoa Fangirled Over Lisa

Like many young guys, Jason Momoa crushed on Lisa Bonet when she was on The Cosby Show; he was only 8 at the time! When he was on The Late Show with James Corden, he confessed that he fell for her long before he met her. "I was eight years old and I saw her on the TV and I was like, 'Mommy, I want that one,'" the actor recalled. "I was like, 'I'm going to stalk you for the rest of my life, and I'm going to get you.' I'm a full-fledged stalker. I didn't tell her that until we had two babies otherwise it would have been creepy and weird. I've always wanted to meet her. She was the queen always."

We’re sure that she was impressed.

18 Joe Manganiello Crushed Hard For Sofia

When stars have crushes on other stars, sometimes they work creatively to meet the one that they want. Joe Manganiello was crushing on Sophia Vergara a year before they got together. He admitted that he had a crush during a magazine interview. "I had forgotten I had said that," the actor said during an interview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest. "And when the magazine came out, by that time, we were seeing each other and when I got the magazine and opened it up and read it, I forgot I said that. I started laughing." It must have worked because they have been together ever since.

17 Cash Warren Got His Girl

A lot of people were surprised when Jessica Alba fell for Cash Warren. It was at a time when she was at the height of her success and she could have dated anyone. Warren was a production assistant on the set of Fantastic Four in 2005 and it seemed like an unlikely pairing. He was enamored by her and got the opportunity to chat her up. She fell for him and after four years of dating, they got married. It just goes to show that you can meet the love of your life in the most unlikely places. They have now been together for 14 years.

"I just knew I wanted her to be my girl for a long time," he revealed during On Air With Ryan Seacrest in 2013.

15 Jackie Titone Met Her Crush On Big Daddy

Jackie Titone actually starred alongside her crush Adam Sandler in the movie Big Daddy. Rob Schneider helped to get her the role by putting in a good word for her. It must have been meant to be because the two started to date while on set. Four years later, the two tied the knot and have never looked back. She even made the decision to convert to Judaism for him. They also have two children now and couldn’t be happier. They are one of the longest-running couples in Hollywood, being married for 16 years now, which is a lightyear in Hollywood.

14 Josh Duhamel Got Flushed With Fergie

At the time, we thought it was an unusual matching for these two, but they managed to make it work for a while, and got married and had a child. Josh had always been a fan of the Black Eyed Peas, especially the lead singer.

When he was on the show Las Vegas, he convinced them to write the band into an episode so that he would be able to meet her. When they finally came face-to-face, he could only manage to tell her how attractive she was, which isn’t always what a girl wants to hear. Fergie went for it though and it wasn’t long before the two started dating. The two are no longer together these days but they seem to be co-parenting together beautifully.

He's an awesome human being. We have so much fun," she gushed. "When I think about what makes my life my life, and just makes sense, and just shines inside of me, it's him. Everything has come from that."

"I was shocked," she recalled of that day at the Delux hair salon. "But at the same time, I was happy because he was so cute."

It sure worked out for her and the two have been married since 1991 and are one of the longest-running marriages in Hollywood. She said that there are plenty of things to love about Travolta. “There are too many best things,” she admitted. “His lips, dancing, fun, laughing. [We dance] all the time, all the time. The kids dance with us, we go out dancing. We love it.”

9 Luciana Barroso Helped Matt Escape Fans

Their love story is proof that you can be a regular person and end up marrying a movie star.

Matt Damon was working on the movie Stuck On You when he walked into the bar and Barroso helped him hide behind the bar away from fans. “Matt’s story is that he saw me across the room and there was a light on me. And I’m like: ‘yeah it was a nightclub - there were lights everywhere!’” she laughs. The two got married in 2005.

"Initially we met through Twitter," Amber explained to Us Weekly. "He did an interview about me and the guy who interviewed him asked, 'If there was one girl in the world who would you be with?' He said 'Amber Rose,' and then I hit him on Twitter, and I said, 'That's really cute' and we fell in love!"

"I was hosting a show on MTV with DJ Clue at the time and he said 'I really want to introduce you to someone that wants to meet you.' He introduced us and it started off as a friendship which evolved over time into something more." Sometimes being forward works out for you in the long run because you get the person of your dreams. They were married in 2010 but after seven years, the two separated.

3 Mila Kunis Adored Ashton Kutcher

We all know that Ashton Kutcher was Mila Kunis’ first kiss on That 70’s Show. Who would have thought that after so many years that the two would eventually get married and have kids?

"We all get movie star crushes,” she said in an interview with W magazine. “I’m marrying mine.” They couldn’t be cuter together and the two even have wedding bands that they wear that are under $100.

Victoria admitted to W Magazine, "I didn't really know who he was. I was never into football." A year after they met, they were engaged and then married, and they have been together ever since (with a brood of children under their roof).
