In the glitzy world of Hollywood, where red carpets and fancy soirees reign supreme, love often finds its way into the most unexpected corners. Celebrities, accustomed to the spotlight's glare, have been known to fall head over heels for the unsung heroes of the culinary world. Here are some stars who have proved that love knows no bounds, and is at its finest when served piping hot.

Back in 1975, while shooting 'Rancho Deluxe,' actor Jeff Bridges encountered Susan Geston, who was working as a waitress at a Montana ranch. Their love blossomed and the pair tied the knot in 1977. After over four decades of marriage and three daughters later, Bridges remarked, "We love each other, but we really like each other. I was 21 when we met. We were kids. And we still feel like kids," as per People.
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez's first marriage in 1997 was to an ordinary man named Ojani Noa. Lopez crossed paths with the Cuban-born Noa while he was employed as a waiter at the Miami restaurant Larios on the Beach. Nevertheless, just eleven months into their marriage, they decided to part ways. According to Noa, the overwhelming fame that surrounded Lopez may have played a role in their separation. "We fell in love when she was already famous. But during our marriage, she became a megastar," said Noa, reported News 24.
Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage, a five-time married man, embarked on an intriguing chapter in his love life when he crossed paths with his third wife, Alice Kim, in July 2004. The pair met at a restaurant in Los Angeles where Kim worked as a waitress. Their bond endured through the eleven years of their marriage and they even welcomed a son named Kal-El in 2005.

Drew Barrymore
The star of 'Charlie's Angels', Drew Barrymore, got married for the first time in 1994 to Jeremy Thomas, who owned a bar in Los Angeles. Barrymore was 19 when she married the 31-year-old Thomas in March 1994, after dating for just six weeks. However, their honeymoon plans were abandoned because they separated only nineteen days after getting married. Their divorce was finalized in 1995. In the same year, Barrymore described her ex-husband as 'the devil' during an interview with Rolling Stone.
