When people think of their high school days, they usually remember the popular kids. The ones who seemed to have it all—the looks, the friends, and the confidence. But what happens when you marry the popular kid in school? People who have done just that are now revealing what happened after.
For one couple, it started with a spark of attraction. She was the geeky, wholesome, farm-raised white girl, who saw him play in her hometown. He was the popular kid, the one all the girls had their eyes on. Despite their differences, they found each other, and sparks flew.
But their marriage wasn't all smooth sailing. He had been having an affair with a married woman for a year and had been taking their kids with him to play "house" with her and her kids. The couple worked through the difficulties, but the marriage ended after a few years.
For another couple, it was a meeting of two creative minds. Adler found a passion for playing piano as a young kid and attended the local music conservatory. She married Spielberg's father, who was also a musician in his own right. The two shared a deep love of music and a desire to create something that would last.
There are other stories, too. My kid has asked me to ask their father to come to both the play and the recital. But the father is married to someone else and I'm not sure how to handle the situation. If you feel affectionate toward the man you're married to, you can try to negotiate a solution that works for everyone.
Kisses, crushes, and marriage proposals are common occurrences when you're young. But when your child is only six years old, that can be a bit much. According to one professional, you can help your child navigate the situation by explaining the difference between fantasy and reality. You can also play out a potential scenario, so your child knows what to do if they ever find themselves in a similar situation.
It's not just a romantic story. Travis & Jason Kelce are the first brothers to play against each other in the NFL. While they were competitive growing up, they were also each other's biggest fans. It wasn't until they were older that they realized their shared dream—to play in the NFL together.
And if you're looking for a relationship success story, look no further than Willie Nelson. He's been married four times, including his marriage to his current wife, Annie D’Angelo. When asked about getting married again, Willie said, “I tried to play it off as no big deal.”
No matter what age you are, there are always challenges to overcome when it comes to love and relationships. But with the right attitude, anything is possible. In this list of celebrities who have never been married, you'll find a range of inspiring stories of people who have chosen to remain single, despite the societal pressure. Well, if you want to play around and the other person in your life is okay with it, why not?
