The firsthand accounts of people who have dated real celebrities, discussing their experiences with the said stars, including their behaviors, the attention they get, and the difficulties they face.
Disclaimer: We can't confirm 100% of these stories, but some of these people are supposedly speaking from their own experiences of dating real celebrities.
"He was normal enough, down-to-Earth, and very sweet. I only saw him for a bit before finding out he was part of a very high-profile case for a financial crime, and the last time I saw him, he told me he was probably going to prison. Two weeks later, he was on national news. Since then, I've seen a documentary involving him, and every once in a while, I'll see him mentioned on a crime show.
" "I dated a celebrity who was a big deal in her genre, but nobody else has probably ever heard of her. It was really nice to be moved to the front of the line and to have great seats wherever we went. I honestly couldn’t deal with the attention she got all the time. She had beautiful women throwing themselves at her, messing with her hair and clothes, touching her.
I felt like I could never compete, and she could sleep with any one of them whenever she felt like it. Plus, she had to be the center of attention. If she wasn’t getting enough attention, she would create a scene.
" "I also eventually noticed that she wouldn’t let on that we were dating. She always said she was single, so that was why she had all these women hitting on her wherever we went. It felt like a game, and I didn’t want to play. After we broke up, she started dating a jazz musician who thought she was more popular than she actually was.
It was very comical seeing them out in public together, trying to see who could get the most attention. I was amazed that they could both fit their big heads in the same car.
" "I dated an actor who played the lead in an Oscar-nominated movie. He was charming at first, but turned out to be the most self-centered and insecure person I've known. He needed constant attention and praise. He would call me at least five times a day to talk about himself.
He constantly wanted me to confirm his penis was large, complained about not having a prettier face, tore himself down as an actor, but got angry if I didn't contradict him. He was utterly draining, like an energy vampire or something. I called it quits after one month.
""She was famous in another country, an actress on Jiangsu TV. We met at a group outing when she was visiting her friends in my country. I didn't know who she was, so I asked her out, and she said yes because she thought I was funny. I didn't know she was famous until our third date, only because a few times expats from her country recognized her in public.
She was hesitant to explain, but when she finally did, I said, 'Oh, that's cool.
' I didn't make a big deal out of it, which, in retrospect, I think preserved our relationship. I've never shown her off as my celebrity girlfriend because, well, I'm not a fan. I think if I did, that would've been a dealbreaker. She didn't enjoy being famous.
When we were together in my country, we could be more normal, even if we were occasionally approached by fans.
" "The couple of times I visited her in her country, we spent most of our time in the hotel or in places where her privacy could be guaranteed. Eventually, she just quietly withdrew from the public eye and moved to my country. We've been married for seven years now, and I'm constantly on the lookout for signs that her talents got passed on to either or both of our kids.
Honestly, I expected us to fall apart, so this was a happy surprise. None of my friends or family thought it would last because she's Chinese and I'm Canadian. My Mandarin was functional at the time, and so was her English, so we communicated through a hybrid of Chinese, English, and Google Translate. My Mandarin has improved a lot because of her, and her English has improved because of our kids.
" "I dated a fairly famous director. I was working as a production assistant on one of his films, and he singled me out, walked up to me, and asked me out. A PA is literally the lowest person on the food chain on a movie production. So, of course, I was going to say yes to the DIRECTOR who asked me out.
We ended up going out to dinner once, after which he left me a key to his hotel room and, well, whatever you imagine from there actually happened. It was near Thanksgiving, and he wasn't going home to LA for the short break, so he came and had dinner with my family. After the production ended and he left town, I emailed him a few times, but honestly, we had nothing in common, and he was ugly.
He's more famous now than he was then — 99% of you wouldn't recognize him if you saw him, but you'd know his name.
""I dated a girl who went on to be a sort of 'alternative' porn actor. We were both around 17 and 18 years old at the time. She was really nice, and we got on really well, but she was almost too infatuated with sex even then. The second time we hung out, she performed oral sex on me in a graveyard.
Like, it really couldn't get more. And yes, it really was that good. We broke up and kind of lost contact, and then I found out she was doing porn. I think she only did it for a little while, but it was certainly interesting when I found out.
" "It was surreal with verrrry little private time for him to be himself. I knew him from high school before he became famous, so he liked being himself around me. Ultimately, he became very controlling and upset that I wouldn't drop my life for his. The social and financial power imbalance is always present.
" "At the time, he was a D-lister; very charismatic, handsome, but he wasn’t getting much work, so he was bitter, and he knew how much I was into him. So much so, I gave him money to help with his bills. He used me, and now he’s back in the circuit with a new young woman doing all the things he promised to do with me.
So I guess I’m bitter now, but the experience helped me learn to be tougher. He may be doing well, but he’s always going to be a nasty person on the inside. I believe karma will get him.
" "I briefly had a thing with a fairly famous cosplayer-turned-OnlyFans personality. She’s mildly famous in some circles. She was self-absorbed and phony, which I suppose makes sense for someone whose sole income came from social media. She was constantly on her phone or on Twitch from the moment she woke up until the sun rose the next morning.
She preached a lot about 'women need to stick together!
' online, but called women ugly behind their backs. She talked about deliberately sabotaging other women who wanted to be well-known in the same field. She made fun of me for being vocal about my, even though she publicly decried the same kinds of behavior in others. She was rude to strangers in public, too, which really bothered me.
She now dates and makes porn with an independent pro-wrestler.
""I dated an international athlete who complained about the distant relationship he had with his mother on every date we had. Then he'd cry about it after we had sex. After the fourth time, I was like, 'F*ck this, this is too weird, I’m out.
' I was then barraged with drunken slobbery calls and messages, accusing me of being 'just like her. ' It sucks, because he was an awesome lay. " "I dated a well-known actor for about a year. There were definitely elements of it that were fun and elements that were not.
She's very noticeable, so when we went on dates, she always wanted to go out when no one was around . Or, if we went when it was 'busy,' she probably got pulled aside once or twice for a photo. It wasn't the, but she always made sure I wasn't in the photos because she enjoyed some privacy in her life, which I tried to respect.
The primary issue was the whole 'drama' she had to put on when she was dating me. When we started, she told me sleeping around was basically just part of the job. She wandered off with some guy, and there were news articles that were most likely true. Probably once every other month, she basically said I wouldn't hear from her for a couple of days, and then I'd see some report that she was sleeping with X person.
" "I put up with it for a while because she was okay with me seeing other people in the meantime . And dating a celebrity has its bonuses. She paid for almost everything, and we went on some fun trips. But I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone out there for the long term.
From what I saw, every celebrity in their twenties is basically cheating 24/7.
" "I dated an NBA player back in the early 2000s. I met him through a friend who was dating another guy on the LA Clippers. I got to go to a lot of exclusive parties. He is extremely tall, so on regular dates we couldn't be discreet.
We would get interrupted a lot. I'll be honest, I'm a solid seven in the dating world, so women were ruthless and rude to me. Waitresses would melt over him and completely ignore me. He was a great guy and would put on the charm with me just to reassure me.
But man, the disrespect was wild. I was really young and had no idea how to handle it. And getting him birthday presents was hard. What the hell was I going to give him since he made way more money than me?
His schedule was a priority, so regular phone calls were usually late at night.
" "Eventually, his career was too major to have a serious girlfriend. He played for over a decade and retired recently. It's kind of fun teasing my now husband that I could have been a basketball wife and thrown water in someone's face.
""We met in a random club when he showed up for a surprise performance. I was dancing on stage when I was told to keep dancing after two other girls were kicked off. We danced on stage together for a couple of songs after his performance, and then asked me to give him a ride to the studio. He was really down-to-Earth and signed a bunch of autographs.
The weekend after he left town, he flew me to his hometown, and we spent three days together, culminating in my meeting his mom and sisters. Before I left, he asked me to stay with him, quit my job, and commit to a relationship. If I did, I would have to travel with him nonstop because was promoting a new album.
" "I liked him, but I couldn’t hand over my financial security for a guy I barely knew. I tried to slow things down, and he took it super personally.
Then he wrote a song about me , and it played on the radio constantly for the next few months. I know he wrote it about me because he left me a voicemail of him recording it in the studio.
" "I dated a girl for a little over seven months who's now a famous YouTuber. She's famous enough that people know who she is. She does vlogs and just goofy stuff, and now has around 8.5 million subscribers on YouTube . She was really nice, but YouTube just consumed her life.
She had dropped out of high school a couple of months before I met her, just to pursue a career in streaming. We were both pretty young , and I wanted to be a normal teenager and not caught up in her lifestyle. It was wild to me, and honestly, it really made me uncomfortable when people approached us while we were out on a date or just hanging out.
They would be pushy and rude, actually grab her, and try to hug her...
" "One time, there was even a reporter from a magazine who would just follow us around, even when we asked her to leave us alone. It was just really uncomfortable all around. We broke it off when I left California with my family. We still talk occasionally, but she's always busy with content and that super fast-paced lifestyle.
" "I dated a famous actor in his early fifties for about six months last year. I got quite a bit of flak for it, but I actually look back on it fondly. He was a nice guy, very eccentric, with youthful energy. The weirdest thing was going out with him and having people interrupt our dates.
His sister is also a well-known TV/film actor, so it was funny to 'meet the family.
' Despite what people might think, I also didn’t get anything out of it from a material perspective. We just happened to meet and connect. It didn’t hurt that I’d"I married the lead singer of my favorite band. The band is only moderately popular in the US now, but the band he fronted in the late '90s is apparently still pretty popular in Europe.
He’s down-to-Earth, unassuming, and humble, and dating him was always so much fun. I’m an artist, and he helped me out at a convention not long after we got serious. He drew such a crowd that the organizers asked him to wear a costume the next day because the congestion in the aisle posed safety concerns. Other than stuff like that, life is fairly normal.
" "I dated an A-list actor who was pretty huge in the '90s and '00s. We had lunch, went to a party, and grabbed coffee. He was eccentric but very down-to-Earth. After getting to know him for a bit, I realized most celebrities are insecure humans like us who just want to be with someone genuine.
I think that’s why he didn’t mind my company, even though I’m far from glamorous or rich, just a normal gal who works a 9-5 with no ulterior motives. I just think it’s cool that I got to hang out with him. Our convos were so normal, like I was chatting up an old friend.
" "I dated someone in high school who is now a famous musician. He was very cool, but he was not a good boyfriend. He was always trying to hang out with older/cooler people and was not very nice to me in public. But in private, he was very sweet and confided in me about many of his insecurities and frustrations.
He cheated on me a ton of times, and we broke up in college. In hindsight, he had a VERY strong sense of who he wanted to be and how he wanted to be perceived and pursued it relentlessly, and I'm sure that is part of why he's successful. He got divorced recently and sent me some flirty texts out of the blue, but I ignored them because I'm a happily married person.
""I dated a Hollywood actor. He took me to a Hollywood party, where ALL the other celebrities were, and he left with another famous actor. I met enough celebrities that night not to care , and I got invited to more Hollywood parties. I was blown away that it was all the same people at every single party.
" "It was fairly difficult. For us, it was too much travel due to her work obligations, and I was unable to accompany her because of my own. She was faithful; she never cheated, but coworkers and others made constant attempts to hit on her. But she was, in my opinion, very respectful that way.
For us, through other issues, not being able to take holidays or plan them is just normal for couples. But it was otherwise a good relationship. We actually parted as friends and stay in contact once in a while. After we dated, I got married for 23 years, and she and my wife were friendly.
Never disrespectful to our marriage; she actually married and divorced more than once. But she's been in a relationship for the last 12 years and is happy. He's in the industry, and they're actually a pretty famous couple .
"a few years ago . The first date was okay, we got coffee and dinner, and chatted a bit. He texted me later asking if I wanted to hang out again sometime, and I agreed. So we went out for dinner a second time.
He got to the restaurant a few minutes before I did and got kind of an attitude about making him wait for me. Other than that, dinner was okay. He later texted me saying he’d like to go out again if I wanted to do anything other than 'get a free meal.
' I was kind of taken aback by that comment. We just kind of slowly faded as far as the texting went. I didn’t really like his attitude — he was pompous and entitled. He seemed to think he was more famous than he actually was, which is funny, because he wasn’t even really a main cast member on his show.
" "He would randomly text me when he was in my area for a couple of years after that, but I never really talked to him again. ""I married a celebrity from a metal band. I don't like the genre , and I didn't know his band at all when we met. He was going through a 'slutty' phase.
He hit on me, thinking I was a fan, with full-on confidence and everything, and I was like, 'Who is this long-haired dork?
' He found it funny that I wasn't into him, and we ended up having a good laugh and becoming friends. We spent about 10 years as friends before we dated, and no one believes me, but we truly didn't like each other romantically until recently. It was a completely friendly situation! Once we got together, we moved pretty fast, mostly because we knew everything about each other already, and now we have a kid.
It's the best ever. He gets recognized in the most random places, like obviously at metal shows, but also once when we were arguing at Ikea.
"This Is Spinal Tap sort of way. But it works for us. I keep him from acting too weird, and he keeps me from being too basic. Even after all this time, I still get surprised when people ask for photos with him.
I'm like, 'Omg, honey, they know who you are!
' I guess once you've seen a person poop, it's hard to think of them as a celebrity. " "I was working for a record company and dated a woman who had a hit record at the time. She was wild but, overall, a nice person. Everything was fine until the fame died down and she had to be 'normal' again.
She couldn't quite get used to not being in hotels and on planes, and to not having people scream her name. Which was weird because she didn't really like those things to start with. One day, as I was getting ready for work, I asked her to drop something off at the Post Office for me. When I came home that night, she was gone.
" "I'm married to a professional athlete who is probably in the Top 5-10 best in their sport in the world right now, and probably in the Top 20 of all time. It's not as popular a sport globally as it used to be, but they made the front page of the sports sections of national papers/news sites in our home country several times last year.
They have a substantial social media following, various endorsement deals, and event attendance last year ranged from 12,000 to 50,000 people...
" "I'm not going to lie, having your spouse bankroll your law degree at one of the better law schools in the world is an immense privilege. Though balancing law school with a very busy partner is its own challenge. Also, social media matters. The amount of endorsement deals care about social media, and how finicky the damn algorithms are.
I've spent a lot of time helping craft posts. We both hate it, but it's the price you pay. I also have to censor myself on social media. No one likes the trophy partner who 'gets mouthy' on Twitter.
" And finally,"I got set up on a blind date with a very famous dominatrix. She was very pleasant. The restaurant my acquaintance went to was high-end and overpriced. Apparently, the dominatrix was accustomed to her clients treating her to 5-star places all the time.
We talked about our jobs and normal stuff. At the end of the date, she said she was interested in me, and I told her that I would never have chosen that place or the club we went to after. She agreed to another date where we dressed down and went out. I took her to a hole-in-the-wall place that serves some of the best fried chicken you've ever had.
We bar-hopped and went to some cool secret spots like Crif Dogs' secret backroom bar, before everyone found out. We had a great time. She said it was the best date she's ever been on, but we realized we lived in two different worlds. "
