10+ Love Stories Between Celebrities That Are More Surprising Than Many Movie Scripts

Real life is so full of difficulties and disappointments that, sometimes, we might even think that great love stories only happen in movies and soap operas. However, the fact is that, over time, famous figures had the chance to meet their ideal companions, which caused changes not only in the lives of the people involved, but also generated great advances in society as a whole.

O awesome.club brought together 11 historical characters who, while offering the world their talents, found time to fall in love and live memorable relationships.

A history that, without a doubt, was marked by eccentricities. The first meeting between musician John Lennon and conceptual artist Yoko Ono was as peculiar as the couple itself. According to what they reported, Lennon met the woman who would be his companion at an art show with her works. At the event, there was a painting called nail a nail, in which the spectator needed to insert a nail into a canvas for the work to take shape. Seeing that, Lennon decided to carry out the task. But he had arrived before the start of the exhibition, leading Yoko to forbid him to interact with the work before everyone else.

Apparently, at that time, she didn’t know the musician’s fame, considering him a conceited person who should learn to wait for his turn to come, just like everyone else did. It was a close person who decided to make Yoko think better about her decision: “Don’t you know who he is? He’s a millionaire! He might as well pay for it.” At his insistence, but very grudgingly, Yoko told Lennon that he could put the nail in the work, as long as he paid five shillings. However, she didn’t count on the musician’s answer: “I’ll give you five imaginary shillings so you can drive a nail with an imaginary hammer”. Well, the phrase was seductive enough to win Yoko over. Since then, she started calling Lennon and the two started working together, to the point that the Beatles star left everything for her. They wrote songs and engaged in various campaigns to promote world peace, making it clear that their minds, so creative, had no limits, and that they had the ability to join forces to explore their full potential.

Apparently, giving up everything to live a great love is not just a myth, since that was exactly what Edward VIII did for Wallis Simpson, when he renounced the title of King of England in order to marry her. Edward met the woman before ascending the throne, falling head over heels in love with her. However, their relationship was not approved by the royal family, as Wallis was divorced and considered a celebrity, which made her seen as a vulgar woman. Even after becoming king, and despite all the power that the crown guaranteed him, Edward VIII still needed government authorization for the marriage, which was eventually denied. Thus, in order to spend his life with the woman he loved, he suggested having a morganatic marriage with her, that is, he would be king, but she would not be recognized as queen. What is said is that neither Eduardo nor Wallis cared about the title, but about living together. However, the rejection by the parliament buried the plans once and for all: the people would not accept Wallis in any way.

Faced with the impasse, Edward had two alternatives: either he remained king and abandoned Wallis or he married her and would lose the crown. If he had stuck with the first option, he would hardly be on this list. But on December 11, 1936, Edward broadcast an important radio announcement warning his subjects that he would return to being a prince in order to formalize his union with Wallis: “It has become impossible for me to bear the weight of responsibility and carry out my duties as King of way I would like to without the help and support of the woman I love.” They were married in another country and spent 35 years together, until Edward’s death. The couple made it clear that, sometimes, the best decisions are not made with the support of the majority, but that doesn’t stop them from being right.

If there was a marriage capable of overcoming obstacles, it was that of the American writer Laura Ingalls and her husband, Almanzo Wilder. She was just 15 when she met him. He was her teacher’s brother and was 10 years older than her. However, none of that stopped the two from starting a relationship. In her books, which mix fiction and autobiography, Laura describes Almanzo as a silent, courageous and hard-working man, a lover of horses and agriculture. The couple made their marriage official when Laura turned 18. They went to live on a rural property. However, life was not easy for both of them, as shortly after the wedding, they contracted diphtheria, an infection that causes fever and pain. And that would all be just the beginning.

After winning the battle imposed by the disease, Almanzo was left with sequelae that caused temporary paralysis in his legs, forcing him to use a cane for the rest of his life. All that had an impact on the farm’s routine, leading the couple to get into debt. This, added to a prolonged drought, the loss of a child and even a fire in the house where they lived, made the husband and wife move to a distant place, with the purpose of starting their lives over again. Together, they decided to go to Mansfield, in the USA, where Almanzo built with his own hands what his wife called a “dream house”. She began to succeed as a writer, receiving critical acclaim and in demand from publishers, gaining a new source of income to add to the profits resulting from Almanzo’s work on the site. Happy, they lived a simple peasant life and were side by side for 64 years, until Almanzo’s death, victim of a heart attack. She would die eight years later, leaving many books telling the great story lived by the couple, making clear the affection between them and talking about how, together, the two managed to leave behind all kinds of difficulties.

Many people know well or have at least heard of the musician Chopin, but few know the romance he lived with George Sand, a French woman born in 1804. She was a writer and revolutionary, and after getting divorced she started to wear men’s clothes , starting to frequent places hitherto forbidden for females. In 1831, she met Chopin at a party and the first thing she asked a friend after seeing him was: “Is this gentleman Chopin …. is this a girl?” Perhaps the questioning was derogatory, but the one who made the most hostile comment was the musician, who, upon leaving the party commenting on George, said: “How unfriendly that Sand is! She is a woman? I’m almost doubting it.” From an unromantic first date, it is even difficult to think how they could be together, but after seeing each other more than once due to a common friendship, both realized that they had more similarities than differences, giving space for the emergence of passion. They had a relationship for years and the woman gave her partner not only company, but also financial support, in addition to taking care of the musician, who had fragile health.

Shah Jahan was an important emperor of India, born in 1562. At the age of 16, he was betrothed to Mumtaz Mahal, the great love of his life, but the marriage would only take place five years later… that’s right, after half a decade! The couple really needed a lot of patience to be able to start their life together. At the time the marriage took place, Shah Jahan was already married to three other women, making Mumtaz his fourth but favorite wife. It is said that they had a very close relationship, and the woman even accompanied her husband during military incursions, regardless of the danger that this represented, just to stay by her side.

Fate wanted Mumtaz to die in childbirth with his fourteenth child, leaving the emperor desolate. Shah Jahan started to dress in black and stopped appearing in public for a year. They say that when he was seen again, he was much grayer and older with grief. In honor of the great love he felt for his deceased wife and so that the story lived by both would not fall into oblivion, the sovereign ordered the construction of the mausoleum named Taj Mahal, which remains standing today, being admired for its elegant architecture and atmosphere. romantic.

The scientific merits conquered by Pierre and Marie Curie are well known, but not everyone knows the love story between them. Very much in the style of the couple, life together involved not only romance, but also a lot of science. They met in 1894, when they were introduced by a physicist, a mutual friend of both. Initially, the intention was not to form a new couple. In fact, Marie was in need of a laboratory and Pierre had one. So, most likely, instead of saying, “Marie, I have a friend you might like,” the physicist would have said something like, “Marie, I have a friend who owns a lab you might like.” And it was in that space where she and Pierre built such a close friendship that the man ended up asking her to marry him. But Marie refused the proposal, as she had plans to go live in Poland. Pierre then assured that he was willing to give up everything to live with her, even if he needed to work as a French teacher to survive.

Pierre was so in love that he even wrote: “It would be a wonderful thing, something I would not dare to hope for, if we could spend our lives close to each other, mesmerized by our dreams: your patriotic dream, our humanitarian dream and our scientific dream. ”. Marie ended up accepting the request and the couple made the union official in 1895, with a simple ceremony in which the scientist wore a blue outfit, the same one she wore for years in the laboratory. Marie admitted that, in Pierre, she found love, a partner and a scientific partner she could trust.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has shown the intention of awarding a Nobel Prize to Pierre for the studies developed by the couple on the phenomena of radiation, but he refused to receive the honor until the Academy also recognized his wife’s work. Finally, in 1903, both were honored, making Marie the first woman to receive that award. Unfortunately, Pierre would die three years later in an accident, which caused great consequences for his wife. Still, in honor of his memory, she continued her scientific studies and even though she didn’t build for him…
