How it Started Vs How it's Going: 8 Celebrity Couples From the First Date to Now

Isn't lovely when couples we are rooting for stick together? Or maybe sometimes they might drift apart only to find their way back to each other? If you are ever feeling disillusioned with love, look around, and you will find many examples that restore your faith in the good old-fashioned ever-after, and in the belief that love conquers all. While it's perfectly fine to call it quits if things are not working out ( you are much more than any relationship tag, remember that), it's also nice to look at couples who have stuck it out, and who look as much in love (or more) as the day they first met. Here are 8 celebrity couples who have stayed together, from the instance they first met to their most recent sightings. While the time periods of their relationships might differ, they do restore our faith in love, coupledom and all things mush. 

1. Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan

Back in 2007, one of the first official #Saifina (remember when that was a thing) was when to duo stepped out at Lakme Fashion week together.

Cut to this recent, heartfelt Instagram post from Kareena's 41st birthday. 14 years and 2 gorgeous babies later, the couple is still going strong. 

2. Jlo and Ben Affleck

Back in 2003, Jlo and Ben took the word by PDA storm as they made an appearance at the Gigli movie premiere in Los Angles. 

A breakup, a few relationships, a makeup and close to 18 years later, #Beniffer is back, stronger, happier and hotter than before, as seen here at the Venice film festival.

3. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas 

In April 2017, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas posed for their first photograph together as they entered the Met Gala dressed in matching Ralph Lauren. Back then, they went to the event as friends and guests of the designer, it was an obligatory photo-op, more than anything else.

4. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh

Rumour has it that Deepika Padukone first felt sparks fly with Ranveer Singh on the sets of her 2014 film Finding Franny, in which Ranveer made a guest appearance as her husband (foreshadowing perhaps)?

Two kids and many fun adventured together, the couple is as loved-up as ever. Watch as he hangs around while she attempts to play the piano.

7. Victoria and David Beckham

In an industry where love rarely lasts, theirs is a marriage that has stood the test of time. Victoria and David first got together in 1997 in London, when Posh Spice was asked by her manager to watch one of his football matches. We hear she was quite bored by the game.

But not by him it seems! Over 24 years later, these two have 4 kids together (gosh!) and are still going super-duper strong. 

8. Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar 

Legend has it that Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar first met at a Filmfare shoot in 2001.
